The reason I make this question is simple: The reality is who needs who? Let's make it clear PFM will get the others (Cotto,SSM,PW) just as much of not even more recognition and money as if they were to fight Manny.So why people are under the impression that the welterweights need Pacquiao? Why do they need to agree on a "catch weight"? if you can fight at WW then fine, stay on Jnr. WW....not a knock on Pacquiao....I like the guy but all this "demands" of where and how they are going to fight, now even asking for the weight in to be the same day OF THE FIGHT,WTF is that? is you can fight them then don't do it, if you think like Freddie Roach that he will beat them....THEN DO IT, but stop making so many stipulations...listen the WW division don't need Manny,but now let's think about this for a minute.....If he doesn't fight this guys,who will he fight? Valero,JMM, who? Will those fights give him the money he will be looking for? OF COURSE NOT! So please let's stop with all this non sense, about Manny calling the shots.....HE IS NOT THE ONLY CASH COW OF THE SPORT.....and this is coming from someone who hates Gayweather but is the truth. The WW is the most talented and exiting division with out Manny, does it make it better with him? OF COURSE IT DOES.....But if you want to fight on equal ground not by making the "MANNY RULES".
Whether you like it or not, you have to admit that the welterweight division needs manny. Listen to mayweather, cotto, mosley, margarito and most recently clotey, all they talk about is a fight with pacquio. My question is, can you blame them? Boxing is not only a sports, its also business.
i disagree. the WW division is pretty deep and those guys can make money on their own. they don't need to constantly beg pac for a fight.
pac is not and never intended to campaign at 147 lbs.
What the **** is this moronic TS trying to say? That Manny gets the blame for the WW's CALLING HIM out? **** you bitch your motive is clear....it's not to demonstrate that the welterweight div needs Manny but to take pot shot at Manny himself.
Let it be clear that Manny hasn't called any WW's...they are the ones who wants to fight him. If I am one weight class below and somebody wants to challenge me, **** COME DOWN to my weight class. Pac has already done his share of moving up....more than any of the current greats that we have. In fact at least these challengers doesn't have to move all the way to 140. They could come at least 142-144.
Again if you're concerned abt the WW division then you should be slagging Mosley, Mayweather, Margie etc for not fighting each other and seeking the smaller man. But damn one of these might be your God so you cant criticize them so let the little man take the blame huh?

pacquiao is ****ing up the whole division. he should forget about these catchweights and just fight at 140. eighter at 140 or step the **** up and fight at 147 without no damn catchweights. no division depends or needs a single fighter, and certainly not the welterweight division which is full of talent.
agreed
pac is creating madness
Yes they need Pac more than Pac needs them. TS you want some proof? Shane already called him out didnt he? He's willing to go down and agreed with 60-40 money split in favor of Pac. Why? Pac will fight the winner of PBF vs JMM. If PBF win Pac will fight him. Then if he lost to PBF he will rematch JMM then retire. Sorry WW's they should fights each others or move up not asking a former flyweight to move up. Thats a clearly bitch move not the other way around. Pac dont need them. End of story!
No, it needs its best fighters fightin each other rather than goin down for catchweight matches against JWW's. cosign, pac should stay at 135-140 and fight jmm and the other best opponents out there. floyd, cotto, mosley, clottey and other ww should be fighting eachother and paul williams is not a ww he's a mw. if paul wants to be a ww stop fighting at mw and fight top ten ww and earn your shot like everybody else. the ww division dont need pac
no i dont think so, he needs to clean out either 135 or 40. finish his business with jmm cuz if he dont, i think that cloud will always hang above him.
And because Roach said it IT HAS TO BE TRUTH RIGHT?
I dunno about you, but I put more weight w/ roach than w/ pac's "advisors". but that's just me.
hahahahaha So I'm assuming here (just like you) that Freddie knows one of the networks will put this money for this fight.....HBO is almost out of money and they will be willing to give Pacman that kind of money to fight someone not name Mayweather,Mosley or Cotto,right?
roach said floyd, jmm, retire. I dunno why you don't understand that.
Right,right and he will also get a share of the PPV , I don't know 10% after the Million buys,right? hahahaha Dude don't be naive HBO and for that matter Showtime (Top rank) will only get this guy on MEGA FIGHTS, PBF is the only one that will make him that kind of money but we might never see that fight,so whats option B?
option B is jmm at 140 lbs. HBO will pay for that because its a grudge match and people wanna see the rubbermatch even if jmm loses to pbf. people can still say (and rightfully so) that jmm had no business fighting at 144 lbs.
but more than likely pac/pbf will come off.
I know is to hard to comprehend, let me help you out....how about SSM on a 60/40 split......does that sound like something he might do?.......sorry I really thought you were smarter than this!
Pac doesn't need to fight mosley or cotto.
you should know that all that pac vs. mosley / cotto talk is just smokescreen to get pbf to lower his demands.
I overestimated your intelligence.
No your logic is better....so you saying he will go 2 weight classes to fight DLH but he won't go 7 pounds south of his previous fight for a MEGA FIGHT.....great job buddy, you have outdone yourself this time lol
are you that simpleton really? who the fukkkkkk would throw away a winning ticket to the DLH lottery??? even Darchinyan expressed that he'd gladly do it. but do you think he'd campaign at 147 after fighting DLH at 147???
Hum? let me think about this?.......oh ok I got it, I swear I think I do....when he fought DLH @ what weight and division that was? I'm pretty sure it was WW......So he can fight a hydrated DLH @ 147 but he won't fight a true WW?......hmmmm sounds like someone is becoming just like his predecessor.....a Lil bitch!
1) roach said the dlh fight at 147 was a ONE time deal
2) pac officially weighed 138 lbs against hatton just a few weeks ago. when was the last time cotto/mosley/pbf officially weighed 138 lbs???
3) roach never intended for pac to campaign at WW
4) unless cotto/mosley/pbf agrees to 142, this fight shouldn't even be discussed. Get down to 142 lbs or GTFO and fight mosley
5) Cotto/mosley is a MW on fight night and Pac is a WW on fight night. IS THAT FAIR???
6) pac officially weighed 142 lbs against dlh. when was the last time cotto/mosley/pbf officially weighed 142 lbs???
DLH was fighting at 154. Pac's last fight before this was at 135, 2 divisions lower. DLH wanted the fight and 147 wasn't even the middleground. Pac was way below the limit at the weigh-in at 142. in the hatton fight, he was 138 w/ bfast. now do you really think when PAC fought DLH that he was a true WW?
Ok and since you know all this.....who was the heavier guy coming fight night?
hmm
Pac comes up 2 weight class to fight ODH ... Which was the greatest payday Now he needs to come up once again to fight WW who are calling him out ... and he the Bitch..
Great logic buddy...:dance:
No your logic is better....so you saying he will go 2 weight classes to fight DLH but he won't go 7 pounds south of his previous fight for a MEGA FIGHT.....great job buddy, you have outdone yourself this time lol
uh... roach said pbf, jmm, retire. both are gonna net him $15+ million per fight.
you should know that valero is just a smokescreen to get pbf to drop his financial demands.
I thought you were smarter than that.

Hum? let me think about this?.......oh ok I got it, I swear I think I do....when he fought DLH @ what weight and division that was? I'm pretty sure it was WW......So he can fight a hydrated DLH @ 147 but he won't fight a true WW?......hmmmm sounds like someone is becoming just like his predecessor.....a Lil bitch!

Great logic buddy...:dance:
Truth right here.... Its not Manny calling out the WW.. IT the WW who are calling out PAC.. so you have 147-154 lbs guys calling a guy out who can make LW very easy...

My bad, I tought you were a litle smarter than must here, you are right let me just answer the way I should:
Do you think people don't know Manny has money? Well is like this, even if he does his not going to get on the ring for 2 or 3 millions? if he fights someone it has to be for like 14 or 15 millions....are you following me ,so far? (lol) do you really think HBO or Showtime will pay Manny that kind of money to fight Valero? JMM? NOOOOOO...... are you still with me? hahaha so in other words: I think you are the one that should READ before posting...is simple....No demand or "BUZZ" for the fight....No money......so who needs who?........is a rhetorical question by the way hahahaha
uh... roach said pbf, jmm, retire. both are gonna net him $15+ million per fight.
you should know that valero is just a smokescreen to get pbf to drop his financial demands.
I thought you were smarter than that.

the WW don't need pac but they all wanna cash in on fighting a little dude.
it's pretty sad when there are plenty of good match up at 147 but all these big guys wanna do is fight a guy that officially weighed 138 lbs in his last fight.
Team Pac got a right to ask for catchweights because at most he is a WW on fight night, but some of these guys are a big as MW on fight night. without leveling the playing field these fights between pac and welterweights are blatant mismatches. so if these "MWs" don't like the catchweight they can walk.
As for who can pac fight? Roach already gave us the hitlist. Floyd, JMM, retire. Pac is not strapped for cash. He's got enough money that his grandkids will be well off in the Phillipines and he's got a promising career in politics. He could walk away from boxing right now and not look back. So stop acting like Pac is still a poor pinoy kid scrappin on the streets. he don't really need to fight any WWs for financial as well as legacy reasons.
Pac can't make the WW division better because he's not a WW and has no intention of campaigning at WW. But if you want a shot at Pac, you gotta play by MANNY'S RULES.
Truth right here.... Its not Manny calling out the WW.. IT the WW who are calling out PAC.. so you have 147-154 lbs guys calling a guy out who can make LW very easy...
