Leonard we all know manny is a fkin coward, don't compare him to a warrior like berto.

I wish Manny would have accepted the terms..but it was about ego...Manny had conceded to everything... Vegas..50/50... name first..MGM...USADA doing the testing...

Floyd would have conceded none of those except the 50/50...

If Manny who was 50/50 with Floyd..no A-side... at that time said..no USADA but VADA or no Vegas because that's your hometown...

Floyd would have balked at the fight in a heartbeat...

Best part is Manny well into his 30s took the tests against Bradley and other decent opposition and still dominated...

Manny never had 1 punch KO power at WW... he caught Hatton at 140.. and Cotto at 145.. and Cotto was a thorough beating..not just one punch like the obviously roided up Marquez...

Manny outboxed and beat down his opponents..he didn't just KO everyone... and his shoulders weren't huge and there was no acne all over his body like Marquez.

DONT BE RIDICULOUS !

How is Mannys ego looking now that everyone thinks he is a steroid cheat ?

Manny could have picked a dozen other excuses to kill that fight.

You even mentioned some of them yourself.

Pac either ducked Mayweather, or he ducked the tests.

I blamed Manny for the first round of negotiations...history will always see Manny as the one responsible for those negotiations...

Aah ok, well props to you then.

Mayweather Promotions CEO, Leonard Ellerbe, took a swing at Manny Pacquiao will defending Floyd Mayweather's selection of Andre Berto as the September 12th opponent at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Mayweather won a twelve round decision over Pacquiao on May 2nd at the same Las Vegas venue. After the fight, Pacquiao said a right shoulder injury was to blame for his lackluster performance. Pacquiao had surgery a few days later.

lennie trying to sell this berto fight at the expense of pac? how low is low for lennie?

does floyd and his camp think they will get half as much ppv with the berto tussle?

the khan fight seems to be more easy to sell.... just saying

i think you have to consider who between pac and berto got busted on the drug issue..

[Southpaw93]

Okay but I say he had more of a reason to blame his shoulder then pac. It was obvious that his performance was affected. He stopped throwing his right hand and complained about it in the corner. To me that's a valid reason. But on Pac's end he fought the same way all the through the fight. He didn't complain about it hurting at all. That's why I say he just used it as an excuse. It may be a decent fight but it can't be any worse then when he fought Baldomir or Marquez

Who cares, ellerbe said berto wont blame his shoulder, but he actually did after the fight.

Really? So you know for sure Floyd wouldn't have brought up another condition for not making the fight happen? Riiiight..because Floyd never nickle and dimes his opponents over every little condition to make fights happen...

If Manny said not in Vegas..and the fight didn't have for that reason.. you'd be here still saying Manny should have just fought in Vegas..because you're a fan boy...

Floyd could have been TBE..he obviously has the talent..hell, I'd pick him over Ray Robinson at 47' easily..but how can I have any credible saying stuff like that when Floyd avoided every biggest threat at the time..took 2nd, 3rd and 4th options..and fought in 5 weight divisions when others have fought in more weight divisions and took on bigger challenges...

About the compubox thing. Its not always how many land its also the quality. Yes Castillo landed more then Floyd but majority were body shots. Floyd was the one landing the cleaner shots to the head which is how he got the decision. The same thing happened in the De La Hoya vs. Mosley fight. Oscar landed more punches overall but they were mostly jabs. However Mosley landed more power shots which influenced the judges. In regards to Floyd and Pac, Floyd outlanded Pac in every category so it was a no brainer on that one.

Manny didnt accept testing and Roach admitted it was their fault. Roach and Arum said manny was 100% before the fight, but he still wanted to take a shot of toradol? He could've just took the test, now he will forever be suspected of PED use, because when he did start testing he never got a ko again and still hasnt. He clearly got outclassed by Floyd and the same thing would've happened with a younger floyd, probably even worse. He has no one to blame but himself. Good thing he got over his fear of needles.

Great post. Pac fans wont like it though lol.

[boxingfan4life]

Blah blah blah. What a way to end your career Floyd. It's actually fitting, going out on an absolute cherry pick. He fought Manny (years too late) so I guess his fans can defend this rubbish.

It was Pac's fault they didn't fight years ago. Let me remind of the very first negotiations. Floyd agreed to 50/50 split, size gloves, and ring. All he asked was for blood testing to which pacquiao ran. All he had to do was accept the testing it would have been done. It was all pacs fault. Even roach said so

[ironfriend]

Don't bet on it

I rather watch the Mayweather vs Pac replay again than this fight. Pac has more chance of winning that fight than Berto and that fights already happen and can't change the result.
TBE get the F out. Great skilled fighter and the best of an era, hands down but to be up there he need to shut everyone up. Beating pacquiao should have been that moment but I guess winning is not enough for some people.
When was the last time someone controlled pacquiao like that. To be called TBE he needed to put on more of a show. Mayweather will be remembered for Money and that 0..... That is his claim to being the best.

Your problem is you don't want to see a good fight, you need to see a Floyd loss. You got one standard for a fighter: can he beat Floyd? Your ppv money is really a bet that Floyd will lose. If you don't think so maybe you don't pay. Makes sense. You lost every time so far. But if you change your mind and you want see a good fight, don't miss this one. Btw, Berto could win. But I wouldn't bet on it.
