Comments Thread For: Video: Mayweather Leaks Clip of The Pacquiao Meeting

[Robbie Barrett]

The clip has got the Pacquiao fans panties in a bunch.

Why is everyone still blaming Floyd for this fight not happening. You heard it from Arum, Koncz, and Floyd himself that both fighters have agreed to fight. Its the networks that's holding it up now. Both networks want a big piece of the pie but its not gonna happen. Its the typical Floyd hate. Pacquiao is just as accountable for the fight not happening as well. If he agreed to take the test the first time, when Floyd accepted Pac's demands for a 50/50 split, sizes gloves, and ring, this situation wouldn't be going on right now. And lets not forget Bob Arum's "lets build a separate stadium and have a completion date that would impossible for Floyd to make" angle. Stop putting the sole blame on Floyd. Both fighters would have fought in their prime if Pac agreed the first time, period.

The video does not sabotage the fight, genius. It shows his intentions. To make smart people like you believe that he really wants the fight, and if it does not happen, he did his part. Just like the bullsheet $40 million phone call which we all now know was completely ridiculous and unacceptable.

Why would any fighter meet with another fighter in private without the promoter, the networks involved? And what was that he was saying? Let's make the fight happen before we retire. Isn't that what the camps have already been trying to do? Isn't it obvious to you, Mr. Genius, that what he said is just for show? To make him look like the one who wants the fight? That he is trying to convince Pacquiao to man up? How does that help with anything when that part was already addressed years ago when people started talking about the match-up and Pacquiao has been challenging him for years.

And a hidden video at that?

Even if you all are truly Floyd's fans and not his paid employees, are you not tired of his antics? We are talking about fighters here. I have been watching boxing since the days of Ali, and no one has ever made these demands. It has to be showtime only, it has to be May 2, it has to be mostly my money, it has to be this kind of gloves.

And even if they do fight, I don't know how these Floyd antics would have helped promoting it. Better if the fight is officially on, and he starts insulting Pac, mocking his singing, say how he would make Pac look like a fool in the ring, that congressmen in the Philippines are just corrupt and Pacquiao is too, that his acting sucks, that he is Arum's puppet, etc.

Better question. Why meet with a fighter that he said just two weeks ago, wasn't a boss? "You're not a boss. You can't agree to anything". Floyd didn't expect Manny to come out publicly and say he wants the fight. Floyd fans didn't expect it either, and they were begging for Manny to do so. "Manny needs to talk shcit if he really wants the fight".

So why isn't this fight done yet?

Floyd. Every bluff of his has been called.

Feelings is hurt in this thread i never seen so many people get upset over a boxing match.

It's really astonishing.

Are you serious? It's the first one I found on google, stop trying to look smart, you're not. You had ****** loving al haymon as your avi you phaggot, wtf are you talking about?

so angry and ****phobic. I only found it weird you had a Floyd pic. I didn't suggest or imply anything gay about it.

yeah I had a avi of Haymon? So? you have some issues you need to address.

He did agree. As usual, Floyd came out with a set of parameters that only he wanted. He comes out and accuses the guy of cheating, and says here, you need to take this test that isn't required by any sanctioning organization or state commission. Manny says, "ok, but I have my own stipulation as well."

Floyd walked.

It's really astonishing.

it's sad honestly add the fact that some posters join date is over 5 years ago and still upset over the same thing.

what a liar. Imagine Frazier saying-ali called me a gorilla, no fight. Or emille Griffith saying you called me a ****, no fight. No they fought and won.

If you're boy had some cajones, maybe he'd have done that. Instead he ran away, why? well maybe its for the same reason years later JMM said he'd test if Manny would and Manny said no.

Oh yeah, it was because it was unreasonable and JMM called him a name.

What a terrible career plan. Avoid Manny Pacquiao for the entire second half of your career and then fight right before you hang them up, banking on the idea that Pac is shot. Just speaks how inferior Mayweather and Al Haymon are to Top Rank and Manny Pacquiao. If "The Money Team" represents that past, present, and future of boxing then Floyd should have made this fight years ago, beat him, and moved on to higher levels of greatness in the eyes of the fans. Ali didn't **** around with Frazier from his comeback to retirement. He fought him THREE times and took on Foreman, a threat much greater then Frazier. At least SRL retired and didn't hold the sport hostage.

Floyd is acting like the 'nice guy' who praises all these other fighters saying "I know man, everyone wants a shot with Mayweather, but this is a business"....Yea a multi-million dollar business revolved around protecting Floyds record at all cost, snubbing any and every possibility for the belts to transcend to different hands and influence in the sport of boxing.

But no I must be an idiot, Al Haymon promotions boosting a select few fighters, padding their record, and rarely showcasing mediocre fights so that his 'cash cows' can hold the sport of boxing hostage to the end of time is what will save boxing!!
