Filipino boxing icon Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is already satisfied with what he has achieved inside the boxing ring, even if he does not fight Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Pacquiao, who is training for his upcoming bout against Juan Manuel Marquez, was informed that Mayweather does not feel the need to fight Pacquiao.
“I don’t need him either,” said Pacquiao.
Mayweather defeated Victor Ortiz last September 17 to remain undefeated and capture the WBC welterweight belt.
“I’m satisfied with all my accomplishments in my boxing career,” Pacquiao said. “I have no problem if the fight doesn’t come to fruition”
Pacquiao also commented on Mayweather’s victory.
“It was okay, all Mayweather did was legal,” said the fighting congressman. “But he doesn’t have the value of sportmanship”
“I think Ortiz was trying to be nice but Mayweather didn’t think of him as his friend,” Pacquiao added. “Ortiz is also to be blamed”
Uh, he said this in response to hearing Floyd say he doesn't need to fight him, genius...
And Floyd said it in response to Pac saying it way back with Clottey ,,, and around we go again , like I said you kids argue about sh!t that dont mean nothing , all you need to understand is Floyd will school him so start thinking of another ALT .
Pactard logic , saying this means Pac is blatantly ducking Floyd .

Why is Manny talking nonstop about Floyd in his interviews lately? i thought his next opponent will be Marquez. I bet Manny sees Floyd in his dreams every night too..
Floyd is already in his head, and there isnt even a fight in the near future between the two, just imagine how fukked up mentally the Pacman will be during the promo for the superfight.. And once he is in the same cage with the Lion, he will be searching for a way out just like Ortiz :D
He was being asked by the interviewer about floyd. While floyd keep on talking about Pac even without being asked. See the difference?
I dont care what these WW say....they were at low points coming off losses to face pacquiao.
why didnt he face mosley after marg fight?
why didnt he face marg after cotto fight? ( instead he fought the loser of that fight cotto who got beat up with cement as we now know)
clottey is complete garbage so i wont even validate that fight
why didnt he face hatton before he was beaten?
why didnt he give marquez a rematch after he LOST to him( quite possibly lost twice but definitely once) and got a gift decision until he is 39 years old and obviously not the same fighter?
why didnt he face cotto before the marg fight?
Floyd vs Hatton happened on Dec 8, 2001 while the Mosley fought Margarito on Nov 10, 2007. That was when Pac was still fighting at super Featherweight (130). At that point, it was still unthinkable for him to fight the JWW (140) and WW (147) giants.
Can you imagine a full fledged WW challenging a fighter 3 weight classes below, and vice versa?
Meaning, it would have been unthinkable for Pac to fight Hatton, Margarito, Cotto, and Mosley during the time before they got their losses.
The ODLH fight happened in 2008 but it was due to Oscar calling out a midget Pac. Roach convinced Pac he can beat ODLH.
They both need each other Manny wasn't considered P4P #1 or the best boxer in the world until Floyd left the game. Floyd never had a victory over a great opponent like Pac did by beating MAB he needs that if he want to be remembered like SRR and Ali
both fighters need this win for their legacy

Slickfox by your logic then Pac shouldnt fight anyone. As matter of speaking after a boxer loses he should just retire then because if anyone fights him they won't get credit for it. It is really sad how people here continue to discredit both these fighters and the performances they have put on.
Question if Pac would have turned down fights against those guys then what? You would be here crying that he ducked a fight. Like the die hard pac fans who try to find any reason to bash May your doing the same thing towards Pac.
Only thing that people should be caring about is if this fight happnes it will be huge and will hopefully live up to all the hype.
By slickfoxs logic, Wlad shouldnt get no credit for beating Haye as haye lost to Carl thompson, and was only coming off of wins against the likes of Audley harrison and Enzo maccarinelis of this world?
Cotto and Hatton were coming off nice wins when Pac beat them. Pac had no reason to think they would be easy just because there is a loss on their resume. Floyd dont mind fighting fighters with losses on their resume.
Exactly,
Coming off losses?
Cotto coming off a loss when pac faught him?
Margarito coming off a loss when pac faught him?
Mosley coming off a loss when Pac faught him?
Marquez coming off a loss for his upcomig bout?
margarito beat a club fighter
mosley had a draw with mora....LOL
marquez is 39....what took so long to give a guy you lost to a rematch
I would like Pac to fight someone coming off of an impressive win( regardless of past losses) like mosely after margarito....but of course freddie was too scared to let his fighter take that fight.

Pac is already the GOAT without floyd on his resume so its obvious he doesn't need him.
While Floyd ranks below Calzaghe on the ATG list according to his logic 46-0 >>> 42-0
hugh are you telling me you dont find it weird that he only faces guys coming off losses and then get crazy credit for those wins. floyd fought mosley coming off an impressive win when everyone was saying he is the most dangerous fighter in the WW division. NOT ONCE pac taken a fight against someone like that. Mosley begged him to fight but he didnt want it....
thats why I dont respect pac...him and roach have conned the public into thinking he is some superstar at WW when all he does is beat guys who just lost ( more impressively ok but a loss is a loss)
I dont care what these WW say....they were at low points coming off losses to face pacquiao.

This is ridiculous paranoia. Thats like saying why did FLoyd wait for SSM to lose 5 times before fighting him, and waiting for Baldomir to lose 10 times? Stop nit picking at irrelevant stuff.

Manny summed it up perfectly.
He knows that Floyd has further tarnished his legacy with that cowardly sucker punch. Pac will retire 2 fights from now as the best of his generation. I feel kind of sorry for Floyd actually
lol you guys are scared as **** for manny to get in the ring with floyd
manny aint proven **** in the welterweight division and he actually needs to fight a boxer coming off an impressive performance AKA a win AT LEAST ONCE( sad considering he has had 6 fights in the WW division)
floyd DOES need to fight him though and settle this debate once and for all. After the fight one of them will be considered overrated.
Yes, Pacs proven alright. Every WW he fights says hes the best theyve ever faced and sing his praises like theres no tomorrow. The praise for FLoyd is more lukewarm like he is slippery and fast.

According to boxing fans at large (by majority), Pac is right. I mean, ignore the like for one fighter or another. The general consensus by fans (disregarding Pac or Floyd hangers-on) is that Floyd NEEDS to fight Pac to get the "ducking" stigma off of him.
In agreement with this.
If Pac decides to not fight Floyd then it's a big loss for Floyd and his legacy. Whilst he says he only cares about money its pretty obvious he's wants to be known as the GOAT and no doubt he thinks that of himself right now anyway lol
Most agree Floyd needs Pac more than Pac needs FLoyd. So Floyd is in no positon to bargain like he tries to. Pac is willing to give Floyd the opportunity to beat him so whats keeping ya floyd?
Get your act together monsieur Floyd.
