Mayweather wants Pacman?
MANNY Pacquiao, without a doubt, is a megastar in the world boxing stage.
So much so that the camp of Floyd Mayweather Jr., considered as the best pound for pound boxer in the world, is willing to enter into a fight between perhaps the two best fighters in the world today in the near future.
This was confirmed by Games and Amusements Board chairman Eric Buhain.
“It’s going to be a blockbuster. Our friends in the world boxing council tipped this to us, and if plans push through, this would be the biggest break for Manny,” said Buhain, who arrived from Las Vegas, where he was appointed supervisor in the World Boxing Council title match between lightweight world champion American Diego Corrales and Mexican challenger Jose Luis Castillo.
Buhain said that Mayweather Jr., currently fighting under the stable of acclaimed promoter Bob Arum, is willing to lose some pounds just to face the Filipino champion.
“Manny’s ideal weight is 130 lb, but he can fight at 135 and Mayweather is willing to trim down from 140 to 135 just to fight Pacquaio,” Buhain stressed.
Mayweather, son a former boxing champion, is currently holding three titles—the WBC super featherweight, lightweight and both the WBC and IBF and WBC welterweight—and remains undefeated.
“Parang wala nang challenge sa division na nilalabanan niya kaya ang plano yata labanan si Pacquiao kahit na magbawas siya ng timbang,” Buhain said. Edwin Rollon
If they fought at 135, Pacquiao would have entered the ring bigger.
Already proved this in my video:
What fight were Winky and Mayweather hanging out at?
Bro...I understand what you are saying. Of course Floyd wanted Hamed because he was the cash cow (along with Oscar) back then. The reason it had no substance was because Floyd knew Hamed was tied up, due to HBO trying to put together a Morales, Barrera, Tapia and other fights for the Prince.
This is why I used the analogy of Bute calling out a super 6 guy. You honestly think that by him saying he wants Dirrell or Ward, when he knows the company has plans for him with other fighters (super 6 tourney) would hold any weight?
Also to add to that..he wanted Hamed to come up to 130 (rumored 128), but how you gonna call out the cash cow and try to make him fight at a weight he is arguable too small for (Hamed was only 5'3" or 5'4" and 126 was clearly as high as he could go)
Ok fine as long as you know the truth, I personally cant say there was no substance in it, Mayweather wasnt big back then but he was still making waves and i remember Ian darke (SKY commentator) saying Morales and barrera were more attractive options for Naz and how Mayweather should be avioded.
Obviously Morales and Barrera were bigger then but that doesnt mean Mayweather should call out Hamed especially with both signed to HBO, Been contracted to showtime for the Super 6 is entirely different because Bute is on HBO while those guys are contracted to showtime and all their fights have been set.. Naz wasnt contracted to fight anyone of those guys in Morales or Barrera and he only fought one of them towards the end of his career.
Naz talked about fighting at 130 because he said he wanted to move up after dominating 126 but he just never had the motivation anymore.. Anyway am gone..
I totally agree with you, I alway hear how Mayweather won the rematch easily but i didnt see that at all, I thought he won the fight but struggled in that fight also, This is why i liked a prime castillo..
A clear win, but a rough night at the same time. Totally agreed.
The first time Pacquiao acted like he had a right hand was against David Diaz at 135.
I also think it's concerning how Floyd reacted to Castillo coming right at him. Imagine someone coming right at him with speed. People like to act like Mayweather dominated Castillo, but the rematch was still one of Floyd's top 5 hardest fights in my opinion.
The biggest problem with 35 for Floyd against Pacquiao is that Pacquaio was fully grown and very mature when he got there... Mayweather was still learning, hence the way he took care of Hatton at 147 who came right at him, compared to how he took care of Castillo at 135 who was coming right at him.

Am not talking about this article because i never remember Mayweather wanting to fight Pac back in 2006, I can only talk about things that i know about and all i know is Mayweather called out Hamed because he wanted a fight and a great Payday he even had a fight with HBO because he thought they pay Hamed a lot of money for someone that isnt american and thats one of the reason he wanted to fight Hamed...If you want prove try and read Frank warren's book or Naz's book and they both talked about how Mayweather was chasing them for a fight.
Casamayor was called out but the fight didnt happen for various reason and i believe he went on to fight Castillo twice so your point about casa is a mooted point--Again it takes two to tango and you of all people should know that.

I knew it, floyd wanted pacquiao when he was still 130lbs and floyd was 147lbs, he wants pacqiuao to go up from 130lbs to 147lbs just like what he did to marquez but now that pac can make 147 easy he doesn't want it anymore.
Seriously man....you honestly think calling out a guy who barely moved up to 130 had any substance behind it, esp. when your at WW? Come on man, even you know this is b.s. Also his call out of Hamed and Casa were b.s also for obvious reasons. I mean I can name a list of times when he has done this, but it's documented for those willing to do the research. This instance is one of them.
Now am I saying each and every time it's b.s. from Floyd....no, but this article along with countless others were.

I think at 135 Floyd was one the most amazing light weights I have ever.
Back then Pac was a one hand fighter. I think his chances at 147 are much better.

No substance? So why are you saying he likes to call out fighters he doesnt want to fight then? And no you're not been objective because if you're you would realise that it takes two fighters to make a fight.

135 was the first time we saw Pacquaio fight in a style that was designed to keep himself from getting busted up. It would have been interesting at 135, 140 or 147 I think.

Manny would have gotten demolished back then. 135-40 was Floyd's best weight. I think Pac has a much better chance of whooping Floyd's ass right now.

What do you mean be objective? That is exactly what I was being when I made that reply. I'm a huge Hamed fan and when Floyd called him out it had no substance behind it due to Hamed's fight plan with HBO.

I wouldn't have watched it coz it will be a dirty fight. Mayweather back then didn't demand OST. I only watch clean fights like the one coming on May 1.
Im guessing you didnt watch the fight that took place on March 13 then..lmao
I mean seriously...... it's like Bute calling someone out in the super 6. That's about how much weight a lot of those call outs, including Floyd's of Pacquiao, had back then.
Sometimes try to be objective especially when it comes to Mayweather, In boxing it takes two to tango and Hamed never wanted to fight Mayweather because Hamed had bigger fish to fry just like Larry Merchant told Mayweather and He fought Corrales and moved up to fight Castillo twice.

When Mayweather stays silent then he gets critise, When he calls out boxer then he isnt serious! Which one do some of you guys want?
Who criticizes Floyd for being silent? Never heard that b4. Like I said, a majority of those call outs were b.s. and that's just me calling it like it is.
When Mayweather stays silent then he gets critise, When he calls out boxer then he isnt serious! Which one do some of you guys want?
My point exactly...
^^^^^This.
What do you mean me or Floyd? Of course Floyd, because It sure aint me since Im no pro. boxer. As far as that...it's well documented for anyone who wants to do some research. Floyd has done this several times, and while he isn't serious in this call outs, alot of his fans take what he says and run with it.
