Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Waiting For Mayweather's Answer To Challenge

[Zano-24]

Why does it seem like people repeat the same thing over and over when it comes to these two? Every thread its the same repeated arguments over and over. You think Manny is still fighting to please his fans after he got KO'D like that? Hes is strictly fighting for money to solve these tax issues hes having. So him fighting for charity is just a clear bluff to call Floyd out on his bs which is bs. What other achievement can he gain at this point other then money if the Mayweather fight isn't going to happen? There are only 2 fights that are not a waste of time for Manny. That is Floyd and Bradley. There are only 4 fights for Floyd that makes actual sense and that is Lara, Manny, Bradley and Maidana(Maidana fight will most likely sell because of how he beat Broner).

I hope you are joking ...... why did it take 2+ years for Floyd to go from "All Manny needs to do is take the test" to "Oh BTW, now that Manny accepted testing, I want to add that I WANT ALL PPV MONEY" ..... at least if Floydie was reasonable with the money thingy but everyone except for a few Floyd fans got that Floyd wanted nothing to do with Manny

LOL...Remember this post below I made about you not staying on topic when confronted with an argument that burns you. I ask you again, why did Manny wait to the last minute to develop a needle phobia after everything else was agreed opon and testing was the first demand at the start of negotiations? Why did Manny wait at the last minute to have an issue when everything else was agreed upon and was ready?

Because I have already dealt with your bull and anyone who has owned you knows you can't stay on topic and you keep defaulting to your BS when you get burned. It's lame.

This thread is prolly the most amusing in nsb history.

Look at how the solid floyd stans scramble and got riled up by a ****** offer by Pac.

Don't get it twisted its a ****** offer. But damn it did hit home.

@littlemac

lets put time sequence on it.
2005: manny loss to morales. there was in interview (youtube link available) that manny thought that blood test has weaken him.( probably psychological but what do you expect from a person who prays at the top of the ring)
2009: they negotiated the cut off date. pacquiao want 3- floyd want 2. pacquiao want 2- floyd want zero. even though floyd stated before the negotiation that he wanted a blood test, their point of argument is the cut off date.
jan 2014:manny agreed to a no cut off date
jan 2014: floyd dont want the fight because "manny is just doing it to pay irs)

Funny how all the floyd stans are saying floyd needs to be paid etc and it being a ****** offer.

At the time, the 40mil was a ****** offer and PAC needs to be paid the right amount. The biggest fight ever in terms of PPV, money etc and you offer the guy 40m? Are you his promoter to give him a price tag? GTFO.

Floyd 60/40 is very reasonable. Definitely not 50/50 now.

What excuse is next?

Pacquiao Don't waste your time, Chicken Floyd don't want to fight you, he scared!

There is nothing to own. I read what you posted. Did the comment you post use the word "For a while"? Well that doesn't mean from the start.

I then went on to question your point of needles and which again you did even though I have never heard Manny mention this. Floyd himself said it's not fun getting it done. The concern from Manny's side had been consistent.

Floyd ACCUSED Manny. Why? Why the accusations with no proof?

It was during the negotiation process that Manny's team changed their mind. Maybe it was the accusations. Maybe the concern of what it may do to Manny like it did in the Morales fight. So what? That is how Manny's team felt and did. I'm not happy it went that way but it did. Both sides couldn't agree with how to set up these new rules (negotiations).

Still, my question is legit. If you are such a sticky for how the negotiations went in that they changed their mind, so why are you not like that with Floyd?

In the post fight interview of his fight with Morales1, Manny said he lost because of style issues and that Morales size was not an issue that he(Pac) was confortable and also that he lost cause of gloves and that if he had reyes he would had knocked him out lol......Manny doesn't mention anything about feeling weak or testing.

(4:13 point in vid)

Now regarding negotiations on cut offs, why did Manny wait at the last minute to have an issue with testing if testing was not an issue before when they started negotiations and OST was the first thing on the contract. Why wait till the end when everything else is agree upon and if Manny wasn't going to agree on testing then why bother brining up a last minute demand of 10mil penalty. So Manny not only waits at the last minute to have an issue with testing, but brings up new demands even thought his not going to agree with the one at hand. It doesn't make any sense.

"All the income going to charity" ..?

So who will pay:

Showtime - Need $200m Contract with Floyd to be lucrative

HBO - will they give they all "PPV" income to charity?

Expenses - from Staff to the towels?

Advertising - Tours, Television Ads, Venues

24/7 + All Access ??

TopRank and Goldenboy hardly likely to sponsor the cost.

Which leaves Manny and Floyd can they even afford it at a 50-50 split?

I dunno man, something about these statements Manny is making is arsenal for Elibe, We all know he snoops on BoxingScene.

Just like the Mayweather-Canelo catchweight justification. If Manny says he'll "Fight for nothing" they may offer him a low purse in 2015 and quote him.

^^This was the very first thing that came to mind. There are people in both camps who have bills to pay. The networks and the locations are going to need a serious infusion of cash. If they want to donate a portion of all the proceeds to the most deserving charities then great and god bless . . . but don't insult our intelligence. People need to get paid . . . you know the people who aren't multi-millionaries?

So make it a quarter (25%) of all proceeds to the homeless, the orphans and the ill and I could see that as a reasonable accommodation which would warrant a response from Team Mayweather . . . just have Bob Arum front the lion's share of the donations so Money cannot say sh#t.
