Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Turns His Back on Mayweather Fight, For Now

Whats the saying, 60/40 you'll get your a$$ kicked?

haha, lets hope it isn't a repetition of that. Last time Roy said that to Hopkins we didn't get the fight until both were way way past their prime and one (Roy) completely shot.

Now if youre a Fan of Pac or just a fan of Boxing, shouldnt you want Pac to be a Free agent when he fights Floyd? Because he would stand to make a lot more money by cutting out Rob Arum, he could form his own promotion just like Floyd and partner with GB and all of his Tax problems would be gone and he'd be set for life

Only a Bi$ch counts another man's money... I'm a fan of Manny's boxing not his finances. Unless Manny or Floyd decides to pay may bills I could give a damn about their money... Worrying about Manny's money is for Jinkee not me. I'm a boxing fan, not of fan of other peoples finances... Mayweather fans talk about his money like he shares it with them. Mayweather fights for Golden Boy and his manager is Al Haymon... They get paid off Mayweather. Pacquiao fights for Top Rank and Kuncz is his manager... They get paid off s him... Who's who's own boss is BS, all fighters are their own boss and their promoters and managers get fees... Only a B would argue over which fighter only pays 7% fees and yours pay 15%...

Of course Manny wants to fight Mayweather because it pays well and most fans want to see it. Mayweather is trying so hard to make it look like Pacquiao is begging him for a fight like a dog begging for a bone and it is pure BS. Fighting Mayweather would not make Pacquiao all that much money because Mayweather is only willing to let Pacquiao have a tiny percent of the money if he ever even agrees to the fight. When Pacquiao fights anybody else he gets the bigger share of the money available to the fighters. Why should Pacquiao be insulted, made to jump through hoops and get short changed on the money split???? He is better off to fight other fighters and let his higness, King Mayweather fight other fighters.

Marquez didn't look very small to me that night lol...Pacquaio would beat Cotto at any weight from 140-154 in my opinion and I'm a huge Cotto fan.
Marquez and Manny had been in 3 fights that were back and forth in every single round and then a hulking Marquez shows up and lands a beautiful punch..happens to the best of them, people get caught and lose..doesn't take away from what they have accomplished.
You can't just leave a guy you have a contract with. He would be sued, and it doesn't seem he has the money to do that right now lol. I agree Manny is not the most technical boxer but tell me a guy who beat him that didn't take a lot of punishment to do so..Could Floyd get by without taking a beating? Who knows, but I'd sure love to see if he could.

Lifting weights will make a person much more defined and muscular just ask Arnold. That is your opinion; but my opinion is that a more comfortable Cotto would have been a much more dangerous Cotto, hence Manny didn't budge and got knocked out later on. lol.

He didn't have to leave his contract, he could have waited on the contract to expire and become a free agent like Cotto if he really want to give the fans what they want to see.

Personally, I think Manny is full of it because he recant on his words so much. For instance he said that he would fight Floyd for less money; but after Floyd called his bluff and offered him 40 million dollars he changed his mind and wanted 50/50. He refused OSDT when Floyd asked for it, but years later he was the person asking for it.

I don't think Manny is really confident of beating Floyd and knows just like the bookmakers do that he can't beat Floyd.

If they were chasing a fight why'd they say he'll fight again in April after the Rios fight so soon? Floyd had already said May you knew his date a year before it happened....Arum had no intention of this being made from the get. 2015 it'll happen or it never will...time shall tell til then sit back and enjoy the sport and stop your whining.

Arnold was a steriod user you know that right?
Floyd could just fight him no matter who his promoter is just as easy as well.
Its all nonsense and posturing on both sides and it should have happened years ago...

You have to reserve a date in advance no matter what. You know MGM and all other venues have other events other then boxing therefore you reserve a date regardless if you're using it or not. Fights get pushed back all the time and rescheduled to later dates.

[GRUSTLER]

I agree its completely about guys with larger then life ego's but I also think that if Floyd wanted the fightmit could get made tomorrow.... I truly believe Manny will fight whoever they tell him Hes fighting and if Thats Jr then so be it.. I think if Manny had a more brash personality and called out Floyd after his fights and made a mockery of him then the fight would have happened already.

But Arum ain't telling him it's Mayweather.

Pac still plugging away and tryin to get the Floyd fight, even though Pac lost recently to JMM.

Pac is still finding it hard to get the fight. When Pac was winning it was hard. And now he lost its still hard.

Mayweather is a man of many contradictions. His recent rainbow themed TMT shirt is captioned with "we don't discriminate", yet 24/7 has him on record questioning Cotto's ***ual preference and why he sleeps on the same bed with his best friend.

It's no secret that Mayweather dislikes Arum, but the picture of him and Arum at the 2011 Superbowl would have you thinking otherwise. The man no longer fights for pride and glory, it's strictly business for Money May.
