This board was up in arms about Floyd ducking Manny.
Floyd offers the fight at a legitimate weight, with a even split at a date that Manny and his team has previously mentioned AND an alternative date he also mentioned.
And still, people are not giving him credit and saying offering the fight is a bitch move and complaining about some bogus election that was irrelevant before Floyd offered the fight.
Listen, just give the guy some credit for trying to make the fight happen.
You're all being ridiculous, how can Pac be considered a 'god', that is so blasphemous even for an atheist.
Pac is not and will never be backing out on a fight with Mayweather! He want to expose Floyd's ass!
It's floyd who made a bitch move here as i have been saying all along that a May fight is just not possible nor earlier (though i want it too).
Floyd deserves to be criticized with all the contradiction he has done and for RIPPING OFF US BOXING (CASUAL) FANS!
Did you see how Roach said Pac now wants 60/40 and the date pushed back?
LOL
What do you expect from a group of nitwit haters. They will not be satisfied with anything Floyd does and even though it looks as if their "god", Manny Pacquaio is on the verge of backing out of the fight, they still criticize Mayweather.

Do you have a link where Pac accepted a March fight date?
And that campaign period has been on schedule since 3 YEARS AGO! What are you a dumbass asking "why now"?
The election period has a specific timeplan and Pac has been readying for it eversince he lost in his previous one and the reason why he also transferred residence status so he can get a chance of winning in his wife's province.
Your opinion is only that, an opinion, Pac doesn't care anything about that opinion of yours if he wants to box or become politician just as he deosn't care about me either if i want him to stay in boxing too.
Roach made claims on Pacs behalf that they wanted to fight in March and then when Floyd accepted, they backed down.
Roach is his trainer and on Team Pac and speaks for Manny.
Not only am I asking why now, I am asking why at all.
What is pac going to bring to the table politically?
What are his values? What issues is he campaining on?
I have a problem allowing a bogus political career interfering with boxing. But I have a bigger problem throwing out potential dates and then renegging on those dates only after a fighter has accepted those dates.
Why this campaign? Why now?
Politics should be a post boxing endeavor imo.

You cannot postpone a national election. Postponing an election is worth millions of dollars.
What do you mean by bogus political career?
Pacman is a good hearted individual, his main objective is to help the poor people and by winning a congressional seat he can make a big difference to give assistance to his constituencies. Pac motives are true and not an utter bullsh!t unlike some arrogant fighter.
Peace

Running for office and serving your countrymen >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Boxing anytime....
You're fookin dumb, I said link that Pacquiao acceped a March Fight.
What you post is a Roach plan and not Pacquiao agreeing for a match for the month March with Foreman.
Try again dumbshit :lol1:
So Roach doesnt know what he is talking about? Roach said March was a month they would consider Foreman in.
Roach is part of Team Pac.
E, do you have the slightest idea on how much money corrupt politics in Philippines brings? im not jabbing at you but im tellin you right now;
there is a reason why PAC had been aiming for that shit since two years ago...you get a seat as a politician of a town back in philippines and you've pretty much secured high paying jobs for your children's children
and really, who's to say that he wont accept this fight? he gets his seat in congress, he's set then he focuses on the PBF fight
is that such a big deal? dude's been giving us great fight after great fight and we can't wait a couple of extra months?
IF he doesnt sign to fight PBF in 2010, as with my thread for horus, then we can start the ducking allegations
Mak, I never said Manny was ducking Floyd. I made this thread because I was suprised that Floyd was not getting credit, in fact, he was getting "hated on" for offering the dates that team Pac has agreed too.
If Pac really cared about this fight and really wanted this fight, I hope he wouldnt let an election, that he can run for AFTER his boxing career, interfere with this megafight.
Trainer Freddie Roach has confirmed BoxingScene.com's big scoop over the weekend; Manny Pacquiao may move up to 154-pounds to target a world title shot against undefeated WBA champion Yuri Foreman. Foreman and Pacquiao are both promoted by Top Rank. Roach, who will be in Amir Khan's corner this Saturday, told British press that Floyd Mayweather Jr. doesn't want to fight Pacquiao in March, and Manny doesn't want to wait until May or June to fight again - likely due to a possible election run as noted earlier by BoxingScene's Ronnie Nathanielsz.
"Mayweather doesn't want to fight in March, so we might fight for the 154 pound title in March and move up for that eighth world title. I'm thinking about that still and it's something that I'm kicking around in my head right now," Roach said.
"Yuri Foreman might be the opponent. It is a possibility, and then Mayweather in September. If they guarantee me that, we'll do that, but I need more of a commitment from Mayweather because he's not negotiating too well. It has to happen, and with the money they are going to make out of it, I feel it will happen. Mayweather can't make that money with anybody else."
Bernard Hopkins, a partner in Golden Boy Promotions , told BoxingScene.com over the weekend that Pacquiao would likely face Foreman before Mayweather, and Floyd would likely fight Shane Mosley - should he beat Andre Berto in January.

Pacquiao can handle both careers and the fight will happen next year. Just give Pacquiao a chance to campaign and he'll take care of Mayweather after the election.

fight in march was all roach, not from pac himself
and you think march is ok? thats too soon after the battering he took from cotto
and yes pac is calling the shots atm. nothing lil floyd can do about it really
Well Roach has no inside information and has no idea what he is talking about...obviously.
People keep throwing around phrases like "Pactards" and "Flomos" but at the end of the day, when the fight is made. Floyd Mayweather is going to beat Manny Pacquaio up. No amount of name calling is going to change that shit.
The very same date Pac considered for Yuri Foreman?
And what is this election bullshit. If Pac wants to box, then box. If he wants to run for office, retire already. Theres no place for that in professional boxing.

So where is that link about a 50/50 where floyd agreed and signed and the link where Pac said he will fight on March 2010?
Come on people, (except flomos, i know what to expect for you :D) WHERE IS THAT LINK, I CAN'T FIND ANY OFFICIAL ONE!
after the elections and PAC tells floyd to get it on, i'll start the thread
maybe we should delve deeper into the issue and consider why Pac is running for a congressional seat and allowing it to impact the biggest fight of his career, maybe the of all time.
It was a blatant move from the Mayweather Team to coincide the announcement after Pacquiao filed for his candidacy for a congressional seat.
mad props for the Mayweather team.
