Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao is Broke, Desperate For Payday!

Yeah. That must be it Floyd. The fact that he is the other greatest WW on the planet, and top 5 P4P fighter must have nothing to do with the fact that he wants to fight you. And the rest of the world wants to see the fight. None if that has anything to do with it, right Floyd?

Mayweather is truly either one of the dumbest people on the planet, or really scared of this fight.

[IMDAZED]

His terms are unreachable, though.

Only Mayweather promotions can promote the fight?

He knows he is signed to Arum... he knows that is an impossibility.

When you create terms that are simply not doable, then you in essence are saying you don't want the fight.

There's agreeing to the A side, and then there's making demands so ridiculous that you get out of the fight without saying you dont want the fight.

I have two things to say to that -- bear with me, REED:

1. One could just as easily argue that Pacquiao re-signing with Arum (a man who has said he'll never work with GBP, Haymon...a man who was in litigation with Floyd over money...a man who claims he didn't understand why Richard Schafer was calling him while at the same time saying he doesn't know who to call on Floyd's side...a man who found multiple excuses to avoid this fight on TWO occasions) was a sign that he wasn't interested in the fight either. After all, Manny could have done what Cotto did and then come back. Or what he made Mosley and Marquez do when they wanted to fight him. Works both ways.

2. When Floyd Mayweather wanted to fight Oscar De La Hoya, he had to leave Arum. And it was amicable. This is what was said:

Arum agreed that the split with Mayweather was not on bad terms like their brief breakup last year. In fact, Arum said, "We intend to be back together. Everything with this was honorable and good. I had offered him numbers [for a multi-fight contract extension] that were livable. His expectations are in the stratosphere. He was entitled to buy me out, and he did. We decided this was the best way to handle it. He is a free agent. We have agreed to work with each other [in the future]."

The split frees Mayweather to make a potential deal with De La Hoya without Arum as part of the promotion. His involvement would have made making a deal almost impossible: The head of Top Rank has openly feuded with De La Hoya, his former superstar, and their companies rarely do business together as a result.

Arum said he was simply not interested in participating in a De La Hoya-Mayweather fight, but not because of his distaste for De La Hoya.

"I don't want to, because if I did that fight, I would be working for such a small percentage, it's not worth it," he said.

But forget all that...real talk...Pacquiao's Arum issue is not Floyd's problem. He's reached out multiple times. And proven his point. You want the fight? Act like it. The onus isn't on him anymore.

I've pretty much come to the conclusion he doesn't want to fight Manny.

I hate to call any fighter scared.

But, Floyd is scared of losing... and for some reason he thinks manny is a legit threat to that.

He makes up a different reason every day of the week... I'm a bit over it.

WAYYYY back when, Pacquiao ducked the fight with the blood tests, but that was a while ago.

LMFAO!!!! The difference in their post is everybody knows Manny's not posting **** while at the same time everybody knows this is Floyd,lmao. Doesn't matter what dumbass haters say, Floyd has earned the right to say "**** MANNY" after all the BS negotiating with him. Instead of posting foolishness do yourself a favor and do some research and you will find that "FLOYD HAS NEVER WALKED AWAY FROM A NEGOTIATION WITH MANNY BUT MANNY HAS EVERY TIME!!!!! Floyd can boast that he PERSONALLY called and challenged Manny, he can also boast that the Nevada judge cleared him to fight Manny but Manny all of a sudden needed a special stadium, LMFAO!!! GTFOHWTBS!!!

Damn, about 1.5 million people went to sleep with that Canelo fight, and almost a million in Maidana I. I guess there's alot of people needing some sleep. I tell you who doesn't need anymore sleep....he should be WELL RESTED!

lol smart ass! lol-all kidding aside,i did enjoy the first maidaina fight!

[kadafi]

you have to be rich to get a Floyd fight = he's not ducking

[bimhead]

People should take it seriously since they are personally enriching this joker.

you have a valid point!

[Francis M.]

Everything coming out of PACs mouth regarding Floyd is to get the fight going.

Floyd's response everytime is How Floyd don't need PAC?


LOL, Floyd we get it you're rich 3it(H!

[kadafi]

Of course. I just find it hilarious that anything Mayweather says here is regarded as ducking because people are so desperate and butthurt.

"He's broke" = He's ducking

"I like movies" = He's ducking

Anything he says. I had to laugh when I saw the first page on this thread. You would think he was dissing posters.

you have to be rich to get a Floyd fight = he's not ducking

[Beater_of_ass]

Floyd obviously doesn't feel the need to make this fight. He just needs to shut his mouth about it, even when prodded by the press. The whole part I don't understand is why does it always seem to be on Floyd to appease Arum/Team Pacquiao regarding this fight? Pacquiao has regressed to drawing power below Floyd, and he is going to leverage that. You walked from 50/50, you walked from a $40 million starting point, what do they want?

Facebook and MS just made $2 billion purchases. Let's say you worked at Oculus or help make Minecraft and you only got $100 million. That's great but if you were 50% responsible wouldn't you be expecting $1 billion?

The first time around it was a fair offer, but the $40 million offer was complete crap and you know it. That fight does 3 million buys at $100 a piece. After the cables company get a cut that leaves $150 million to go around and Manny gets 30% of that while Floyd takes 70% that's a BS offer.

Also... why does Floyd hate Arum all of a sudden? I mean, the fight was close to being made the first time all these people are saying, Arum was promoting Manny then. Why is it not an issue? Floyd never wanted the fight even back then, had Manny agreed to testing then it would have been the Arum excuse 5 years ago instead of 1 or 2.

[Digital Hu$tler]

People act like Pacquiao didn't get knocked out by Marquez how was Floyd suppose to fight him after that?

Really Pacquiao losing has been holding this fight up if you wanna be honest
