Manny fights for the Pride of his countrymen who all hate Floyd and wanna see Manny destroy him,Money is not an object............But Floyd called him personally and 40 million was not enough to make the fight for THE FANS.......He loses to Bradley and his PRIDE should he effected but there is NO MONEY for a rematch.....lol

All of a sudden (3 years later) he decided the blood test WONT weaken him? But in that time he was cleaning up, he started looking human LMBAO!!!!
It's not a matter of Floyd ducking, it's a matter of Manny getting medically prepared for that A$$ whoopin.
Especially in this day and age where people are restless and have short attention span. Distractions are everywhere. We have cell phones with all kinds of features. We have forms of entertainment we never would have thought possible ten years ago. We're left with sound bites. In politics, once you're labeled a flip-flop it will never going to go away. The damage has been done no matter how you explain it. Sad part is you're not usually given time to explain it. All they expect are sound bites. Similarly, once you're labeled a duck, a coward, it's going to stick for the rest of your life.

But the Money he can earn fighting a guy (Cotto) he already beat is better.
Some say there's no reason to rematch Timmy cause he obviously beat him, a Cotto rematch makes more sense. UMMMM didn't he KO Cotto?
As for JMM, why does the "8 div, FOTD, Super Human, God" need multiple goes at "convincingly" beating a blown up LW?
Money not only is and has always been the root of evil, but it's has also been the key to why he fights.... LOL
The past has a way of biting you in the A$$ don't it LOL!
It was all an act and I'm enjoying seeing this shyt fall apart LMBAO!!
And why do you have an Avatar of Kevin Kelley hitting Bobby Pacquiao? You do realize Bobby the bum knocked him out?

He'll make an unbelievable amount of money by fighting Paqciao than fighting anybody else. That's also common knowledge.
He knows he'll make tons of money he never would have earned figthing other fighters. But he just won't fight Manny.
Is this guy not worried about his ducking legacy? He's about to retire and still not doing something about it.

Pacquiao is not fighting Cotto so it should not be part of this thread in my opinion. If he fights Cotto it is disgraceful but that fight is not happening. Marquez is the fight he should fight for pride because that is the fight lots of fans think he lost. The fact that Marquez pays better than Bradley is another good reason for him to take that fight. Bradley will be around to rematch for years but Marquez could retire leaving many with the impression that Pacquiao can't beat him. He needs to fight Marquez again and go for the KO. If Pacquiao takes 40 million to fight Floyd and Floyd keeps the rest can anyone tell me about how much money Floyd would get?

He makes a lot of money off his fights. The biggest problem is now that the fights getting less and less attention and pac losing / looking pretty shabby his last few fights I won't do the huge numbers previously thought.

Epic fail on your logic there chief. It is WIDELY known that Bob Arum ducks fights when he thinks his guys are not ready.
Bob has an agenda and when he's ready he WILL make the fight. In the meantime, he's milking the man pac.Last edited by WESS; 08-26-2012, 06:44 PM.
