Does anybody else remember being force fed "Manny fights for pride, not money" BS?

does anybody remember Pac getting bashed by dudes for making Cotto weigh in 2 pounds under the WW limit?...well nobody is going after Ward for turning down 170 and saying 168 or no fight against Dawson...I came on here and expected a thread about that...but I saw this and just smh Dawson said he would come down that was his mistake. Kinda like how Corrales said he would fight Floyd at 130, when everyone knew he was a LW at that point. That was his mistake. Why am I going to bash Ward for something Dawson said he would do?

Only reason ppl don't go after Ward is because Dawson said he would come down. Every boxer fights for money it's a poor mans sport, only dumb asses believe that they only fight for pride. Boxers have to sell themselves to the public in order to generate hype, it's pride and money.

Floyd is a businessman. He fights for money. That's common knowledge. He'll make an unbelievable amount of money by fighting Paqciao than fighting anybody else. That's also common knowledge. He knows he'll make tons of money he never would have earned figthing other fighters. But he just won't fight Manny. Is this guy not worried about his ducking legacy? He's about to retire and still not doing something about it. And what has that got to do with what Manny does , the CWs the cherry picking , the ducking of 154 Cotto and the Bradley rematch , WTF has Floyd go to do with the trail of fakeness oozing out of your hero every step he makes ?

lolz at people saying pac is a fraud, you guys cant stop hating ... anyway, i still want to see pac-mayweather and I really dont care about all the b_llsh_t and just want to see it happen, I am giving both fighters & their teams until 2013... i am still optimistic that the fight will happen 2013 but if by then this fight dont happen, I wont give a sh_t anymore...

Small question....Mayweather was offered 50 mill and declined....I think they are both at fault and egos play a big part...As to say pac is to blame is,to say the least,stupid.i blame Arum..and WHO OFFER FLOYD 50 MILLION??cause he does the offering..history shows that

40 million isn't enough for The Fighting Pride of The Philippines! He is such a diva... Imagine how much he could help his countrymen as a congressmen with 40 million in his pocket. At the end of the day he is just as much as a snake as the next guy Manny doesn't even pay his taxes so I doubt his countrymen will see any nickle of the 40mil...

yep the duck who won 0 titles at catch weights and 0 vacant titles Small question....Mayweather was offered 50 mill and declined....I think they are both at fault and egos play a big part...As to say pac is to blame is,to say the least,stupid.

Floyd only fights for money. Ironically, legacy and money go together when fighting Manny. But he won't fight Manny. He must be truly scared of Pac. I keep looking for an explanation for it, I can't find any. The internet lets you know these people exist. :|...

Pride should make him want to make the Bradley situation right. But the Money he can earn fighting a guy (Cotto) he already beat is better. Some say there's no reason to rematch Timmy cause he obviously beat him, a Cotto rematch makes more sense. UMMMM didn't he KO Cotto? As for JMM, why does the "8 div, FOTD, Super Human, God" need multiple goes at "convincingly" beating a blown up LW? Money not only is and has always been the root of evil, but it's has also been the key to why he fights.... LOL The past has a way of biting you in the A$$ don't it LOL! It was all an act and I'm enjoying seeing this shyt fall apart LMBAO!! Listen all floms. If there is someone who fights for money than pride between Pac and Floyd. The coward will leave Pac many miles behind. Examine this fact. From 2008-2012 the coward fought 4x only. He fought less for lesser risk opponents for more money. He doesn't mind doing his dirty disgusting tricks like sucker punched that bum Ortiz and weight cheated a bloated lightweight Marquez to ensure his victory. He fought 38 old grandpa past prime shot Mosley and past prime 5 years older Cotto in 2012 instead the prime Cotto in 2008 but faked his retirement to duck young prime Cotto, Mosley and Margarito. In the same year Pacquiao from 2008-2012 fought 10x in 5 different weight classes and achieved great accomplishments like the first boxer in history who won an 8 divisions titles in 8 weight divisions and 4 lineal titles not to mention his awards Fighter of the Decade! See the big difference floms who is fighting for pride or for money?

Manny fights for HIS fans,whoever they want him to fight he fights,money isnt an issue at all,Pride and God is what he follows,he will fight for less money and maybe even free JUST FOR HIS FANS..he is a MAN OF GOD

Floyd only fights for money. Ironically, legacy and money go together when fighting Manny. But he won't fight Manny. He must be truly scared of Pac. I keep looking for an explanation for it, I can't find any. Because you ignore truth. I don't know how many times Bob Arum and members of Pac's team have said they are the reason the fight hasn't been made.. I mean even just in the last 2 weeks Bob was going around admitting to protecting Chavez from a fighter like Martinez all this time. Really, its never been about Pac being deathly scared of blood and needles, his badly cut eye that bled for months, the temporary stadium that had to be built or the fact that Pac turned down a 50-50 split or even a 40 million flat fee. It's always been about Bob's agenda and as of late he's been pretty clear on what that is. If you still haven't figured it out, than look at Manny's options for his upcoming fight in November. Yes, you won't find Mayweather's name on that list chief. Bob's never wanted the fight from day one and was just using Floyd's name to hype the manny man pac. :drive: I hope you agree that you won't ignore the facts anymore. However I'm sure between now and when Bob actually lets Pac fight Mayweather he will make his agenda crystal clear as he did with his other overly hyped fighter in Chavez jr. :omfg: You will see why Chavez was protected all this time come September 15th. Sometime next year in Pac's very last fight, you will also see why Bob protected Manny from Floyd all these years too. :guilty:

Manny only fights for pride and his people. He pays his taxes and is faithful to his wife and family. Manny doesn't promote or support drugs/alcohol, gambling, prostitution, and animal cruelty like cockfights. Manny doesn't support people who harbor fugitive criminals and is in full support in cleaning up the sport of boxing from drug cheats. Manny only does business with honest people like Bob Arum there for Manny will never leave Arum because of his loyalty to this good and wholesome man. You guys letting your hate blind you from this reality of Pacman's goodness. Warrrrrrr Pacman!!!!!

Yeah and Martinez wouldn't fight Chavez Jr either lol.... even though everyone knows Martinez was begging for the fight and even called Chavez a "chicken".. Epic fail on your logic there chief. It is WIDELY known that Bob Arum ducks fights when he thinks his guys are not ready. Bob has an agenda and when he's ready he WILL make the fight. In the meantime, he's milking the man pac.

Unless he gets the majority of the money he won't really make all that much more. Floyd already has the highest guaranteed purse in boxing to his name. He makes a lot of money off his fights.

Pacquiao is not fighting Cotto so it should not be part of this thread in my opinion. If he fights Cotto it is disgraceful but that fight is not happening. Marquez is the fight he should fight for pride because that is the fight lots of fans think he lost. The fact that Marquez pays better than Bradley is another good reason for him to take that fight. Bradley will be around to rematch for years but Marquez could retire leaving many with the impression that Pacquiao can't beat him. He needs to fight Marquez again and go for the KO. If Pacquiao takes 40 million to fight Floyd and Floyd keeps the rest can anyone tell me about how much money Floyd would get?
