"It's been an amazing run, that's why I get very very impatient with a lot of this Mayweather nonsense. Because the game plan here is to be president of the Philippines. The game plan is not to be the pound for pound guy for five or six years, it is to transcend boxing and to move on to the rest of his life."
..."His coach Freddie Roach, who's a pure boxing guy, still thinks in those terms which is great and it makes them effective in their job but I really don't. I'm trying to weigh everything he does in his boxing career on how it will relate to the ultimate goal of being president. One of the reasons I never really was so keen on a Mayweather fight which I now truly believe is an easy fight for Pacquiao is because how Manny is going to be tainted by some of the vile things that Mayweather comes out with. Even though he'll be the good guy, God knows what Mayweather is capable of saying. It's one thing to talk about how much better a fighter he is and Manny can't do this or that, but Mayweather, who has no sensibility in this, is capable of insulting the country. The ignorance is so appalling."

Just putting out there another one of Arum's many excuses this past week.
(Delete if already addressed)
WOW THE 25TH EXCUSE :lol1:
Mayweather :
1.I want a full random blood and urine test
Pacquiao :
1.Pacquiao is afraid of needles
2.Blood tests make Pacquiao weak
3.$10 million penalty per pound overweight
4.I want 8 oz gloves
5.I choose the ring size
6.Floyd Mayweather wants too much money
7.Floyd Mayweather is not serious he doesnt want to fight
8.We dont want to fight at the MGM Grand
9. I need a 17 day cutoff.
10. Let the Commission do their job
11. We don't trust USADA
12. 50/50 split won't get it done even though Mayweather consistently beats me in terms of generating revenue. Yes, Pacquiao recently said he wants more than 50/50.
13. Mayweather may not be available due to his cases.
14. Floyd Mayweather SR. said we couldn't train in the Philippines so that tells us they aren't serious.
15. As long as we have a pending case against Mayweather, we obviously aren't going to fight.
16. We hate Golden Boy so we won't negotiate with them.
17. Mayweather didn't answer my online clock that counted down to zero.
18. We're not going to wait on Mayweather. That's why we sign our next opponent 3 days after our last fight in order to shut out an opportunity or window to start earnest discussions with the Mayweather camp.
19. I dont need Mayweather to enhance my career.
20. The Joshua Clottey fight days after the Mayweather negotiations broke down
21. Starting a false rumor , Mayweather is fighting Erik Morales .
22. Can't give blood cause of religious beliefs/superstitions
23. "Mayweather is naturally bigger than me so if i give blood i will be smaller than him."
24. No testing within 7 days of the fight
25. Mayweathers Vile Words May Affect Manny's Presidency
End Thread.........................
oh really..? can you back up your words? got any pic of the negotation papers saying it is so.. pretty please..
Its common knowledge Floyd agreed to 50/50 in the only real negotiation there was , but I dont think he will today , not initially that is and why should he , the revenue he brings to the table is much higher than what Manny brings , on the pure business side of this Floyd is entitled to more of the slice , if Arum dont want it he will stay rock solid on 50/50 , I think Floyd will accept it again when its crunch time .
clicked the link to check if its a credible source or not and it said " server cannot be found " . i think it's nothing but made up sh1t.
It's an article at telegraph.co.uk. That's the site. It's not made up stuff dog. You're in denial. When you lay your eyes on this for yourself, you will see. It's Bob Arum coming up with more excuses. This time he's attempting to come clean. He doesn't want the fight to happen. I highly doubt that it has anything to do with Pac becoming president, or anything that Floyd will say. It's because he knows what's in store for the Filipino icon. A humiliating drubbing.
^^ let's make it much recent for that flomo..
do you remember floyd's 'pac you're next' quip? :lol1: now that one's a doozy.. and then the back pedal statement 'don't put words in my mouth!'.. holy sh|t..
He spent almost 14 minutes ranting on such a simple question whether he would fight Pac in his next bout. This is after promising during pre-fight press conference that "Pac is next".

Floyd agreed to a 50/50 purse split in negotiation one.....Manny didn't agree to ost. Fight off!!! same will happen again if Bob let's it go that far into a negotiation......but he won't.
You forgot how Team Mayweather dodge the second negotiations even though HBO itself already made an announcement that there was one.

His English is just fine. Actually i would say it's very good, unless ofcourse someone brings up PED's then he seems to regress.
Not as bad as Floyd's stuttering when he is getting owned. And English is suppose to be his native language..
emmmm aaaaa try learning a new language in your 20's emmm aaaaa...

where is the need to take drug testing of the table.. pac already says he's gonna do it.. so what now? you guys really think that this is the end of it..? there's still the biggest wrench floyd would throw on any negotation.. the PURSE SPLIT... we've never heard the end of this 'negotation' crap with pac agreeing to the testing procedure cause this ain't the biggest thing yet..

you are right in that he isn't ducking floyd. but team pac went on record that they're all for unlimited random urine testing. as for random blood testing, i can't comment on that since team Pac sent mixed signals regarding that.
and i blame manny for not clearing that crap out. i honestly believe that the younger, hungrier manny who faced dela hoya would have jumped at the chance to fight Floyd regardless of the blood tests.
so far, Bob arum went on record that they no longer have issues with the tests.
i wish floyd would call him out on it and start negotiations.
They've been trumpeting that lawyer crafted line over and over again, yet despite this Bob is out there every other week saying they have a problem with USADA, Floyd isn't serious, Floyd isn't negotiating in good faith, or Floyd is fighting Morales..........IT'S ALL BULLSH*T. THEY HAVE NOT AND WILL NOT AGREE TO RANDOM BLOOD AND URINE TESTING. THEY DIDN'T AGREE TO IT WHEN IT WAS THE LAST DEAL POINT TO GET THIS FIGHT MADE BACK IN 2010 AND THEY WON'T AGREE TO IT TO MAKE THIS FIGHT IN MAY 2012, OR EVER!! AND THE REASON WHY IS WHAT I STATED ABOVE IN THE EARLIER POST.

Let's be clear here.....Manny is not ducking Floyd. He is ducking random blood and urine testing......take that off the table and the fight will be made tm. Am i wrong???

We're talking about millions and millions of dollars, winning and losing, and professional athletes....they will do anything to get an edge, and boxing makes it easy, because testing is virtually non-existent.
Whats insecure got to do with Arum and Manny Ducking Floyd , nothing insecure about it lol , just a long line of excuses from Team Pac that goes on for 3 yrs and 3 yrs of listening to Pactards talk a load of sh!t , , they have been DUCKING this fight and always have , im not insecure Im pissed off because I want the fight and Arum and Quackman keep ducking it .
heh. insecure AND immature. you sound like a kid having a tantrum at not getting his toy so you resort making all kinds of noises and name-calling.
i too want to see this fight happening, and i blame both manny and floyd for this. if the fight happens, great! if not, well it ain't the end of the world.
more smokescreens from Arum to take everyone's eyes off the fact that this fight isn't happening for one reason and one reason alone.......Manny is using PED's. Everything else is bullsh*t...........
