Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[HeroBando]

Who was making the Hager/SRL and Mayweather/Hoya comparisons? Iole or Ellerbe? Because that's a pretty ****ing ******ed comparison. The gulf in leverage between Pacquiao and Mayweather has been nowhere near the difference between Hagler and SRL/Mayweather and Hoya was.

There was such a gulf in leverage when Pac stepped up from 135 to face favored DLH, which Arum seemingly didn't have an issue with

People need to get over this. Both were at fault.

This... They both at fault... Manny botched it first by refusing the drug tests, so he should get a lot of blame, and now resigning with arum instead of doing what cotto did.. Floyd on the other hand has avoided this fight like the plague over the past few years, even when manny agreed to drug testing..

[Robbie Barrett]

When has Pacquiao ever attempted to negotiate? He does nothing himself. Always left to other people.

[Holy Hatred]

Floyd don't give a fuck about the fight, Manny does, so if Manny really wanna fight, he has to do what's asked of him, period. If you claim that's the fight you want the most and you'll fight for charity and all this other bullshit, just do what the fuck Floyd ask you to do when he asks you to do it and we would have a fuckin fight. Not refuse, not come back 3 years later and say ok im ready now, No! You want the fight? Do what's asked of you or you don't really want the fight, period. Floyd has made it loud and clear he could give 2 shits if he has Manny's head on his resume, Pacquiao is the one who's begging for it.

Floyd is a man of his word, and yes Manny Pacquiao, you're next!

[Pacquiao'd]

its just funny how

2% of boxing critics say mannys ducking floyd
98% say floyds ducking pacman outloud. lol

Yet Ariza and roach are part of that 2%

Its amazing how us as fans, Floyd and his team; Schaeffer and some of GOldenboy and lots of the media ...make such a biiig deal about these promotional rifts.
But everyday boxers dont give two sh** about it and dont even pay one attention to all this drama. they just in the fighting business and ready to fight. Look at Pacquiao hes so oblivious to this whole mess and has so much hope that a fight can still happen with FLoyd....Same thing with Adrian Broner. THey asked him who he wants to fight next, and he said Pacquiao before he leaves the sport. Both not caring about what promotions or network there on. They just wanna fight the best.
Aint it good to see theres some boxers out there, that are old school and will jsut fight whoever? gotta give props to Broner and Pac for that

"I know they can't fight each other because of promotional rifts, but I love hearing them say ignorant shit about fighting each other even though they themselves are well aware of the promotional rifts. It just warms my heart when the fighters are thinking like 12 year old kids like me, they promote ignoring reality which enables me and the rest of the NSB idiots to believe certain fights can happen in this climate"

did I get it right?

Floyd and Showtime NEED Pacquiao. Not the other way around.

Floyd needs Pacquiao or his legacy will be a farce/a joke. Showtime needs Pacquiao so that they can finally make a profit for the dumbass deal they made with Mayweather.

Actually, all Showtime needs is CBS to handle any losses.

Are you serious right now? No network wants to lose money... Even if they have someone like CBS to back them up. The whole point is to make profits.

CBS only has revenues of $3.5 billion a quarter, some fairly small percentage of $32 million is obviously devastating to them~
