First of all Pac is an 8 weight division champion.
Second,..Pac occupied the p4p for a few years.
Third,..physcially and skill wise he is the best at 140-147.
Fourth he represents huge money,..more than any other fighter,...period..Not even a slight argument here!!!
Fifth,...it will be such and easy, easy fight for Mayweather,..He might not even have to train for Pacquiao.
So why not make it.
Let's assume Pac not only wins on Nov. 23rd but looks very good doing it.
Then let's make this fight for May of 2014.
Come on Floyd,....it will be sooooo eassssy. and you will make 50 million doing it!!!! No excuses.
Just want to make it clear that I am a big fan of both of them. I find Pacquiao to be a more exciting fighter,...but I very much enjoy watching Mayweather's skill exhibited.
I don't want this to be a hate thread,..but it just bugs me when I hear the Mayweather's saying that Pacquiao is "easy work" and then they go fight Ortiz, Guerrero, and a green Alvarez. But as I stated previously Alavarez represented a somewhat Legit threat because he had some skill and was big and strong.
I loved the feedback that other Boxing Scene fans submitted. I think this fight is going to happen. I believe it will be Sept. of 2014(I wish it would be May of 2014).
The longer we wait the more chances there are for weird stuff to happen.
I don't want to treat the Rios fight as a foregone conclusion. He is stylistically made for Pacquiao,..but that doesn't mean Pac is going to win. He could have a cracked chin,..or he could just be getting old physically and it will all go to sh#t on Nov. 23. We will see.
Mayweather fans have never seemed to keen on the fight happening either, right now they want to bury it under the rug. :bs2:
I agree, there are some Floyd fans now that don't want to see the fight happen.
They say it does nothing for his Resume at this point.
The truth of the matter is you guys relish at the fact the fight has not been made so you can keep calling Floyd a coward but as SOON as the fight is made you would come up with a million excuses why Pac is gonna lose...I pray the fight gets done so all this bs can stop once and for all...
I 100% agree, majority of the hardcore Pac fans NEVER wanted to see the fight happen, in fact they were happy with Manny's choosing of Opponents, Margarito, Mosley, Clottey and now Rios, because there only motive was to see Pac winning, they knew once he got in the ring with FMJ he was gonna take a loss.
So till this day they secretly don't wanna see this fight happen.
Allboxing AD....You are right!!!!!!
It is not a 1 way street.
I don't think Pac is afraid of Floyd,...at all.
But I do believe,..and have always believed that Bob Arum is a sleazy douche bag.
I think he has a huge hand in the fight not happening.
Floyd's ego + Bob Arum's shrewdness= fight not happening.
Floyd is ultimately not afraid of Pac.
He just hates and loathes doing business with Arum.
It all boils down to a few things here:
1)There is video that has been posted numerous times of Mayweather saying he will fight Manny Pacquiao.
2)There are no other opponents that represent the $$$$ Floyd will make. This is the biggest reason. Floyd Sr., Floyd Jr., and Roger have said multiple times that Pac will be an incredibly easy fight,..."EASY WORK". I can't for the life of me understand that Floyd wouldn't want to make 50+Million,...for EASY WORK!!!
3)Pac is still the most skilled and physically imposing challenge at 147.
4)Pac's style of fighting is very taxing,..and he only has 1-2 fights left before he is irrelevant. The fight needs to be made ASAP,..or all is lost.
I believe Mayweather has some doubt about this fight. He knows it's not "easy work".....He may win(probably a decision),..but he knows he'll have to walk through fire to do it.
It would be at least as difficult as his fight with Cotto. And Floyd took a mild amount of punishment in that fight. Floyd don't like punishment. Pac will give him some,..Even if he doesn't win.
I agree 100%.
Pac is Floyd's best option!
But who is Pac's best option?
What is he doing to make the fight happen?
You guys kill me thinking this is a one way street.
Victory in defeat! Looked good winning by one point then put to sleep.
Please let the fight happen so he can look good again while losing

people have been saying pac's not floyd's best option due to his recent fights, but that's a load of bull****. we can only determine that by looking how pac performs in the rios fight.
it's pretty clear that pacman beat bradley, so let's throw that off the table. and the 4th marquez fight, that's the best i've seen pacquiao in years - and for once he was clearly beating marquez until that bizarre ko.
if pacquiao fights as though the ko has not bothered him in the rios fight, then yes, he will be floyd's best option.

Pac fans should worry about Rios right now not Floyd...Pac beating Rios is the only way we have hope that legit negotiation can ever come to life again!!!
The facts support Floyd unwilling to make the fight happen. Ask Ross Greenburg and Keith Kizer.
Ross Greenburg? What's he doing these days? So are you saying Floyd never offered Pacquiao a 50/50 split in 09? Ross Greenburg can't even deny that. ESPN, which sucks when it comes to reporting boxing, even reported that. And they passed and fought Clottey instead. I get you hate Floyd and no matter what anybody says your gonna spin it in Pacquiaos favor but we live in a facts base world. And I, unlike the Republican Party, stick to the facts and make my own desicion. So sorry you and I disagree but it is what it is.
Floyd , "well, uh, you're gonna have to talk to Al Haymon about that".
Nice try but not even remotely the same. Haymon works for Floyd while PAC works for arum.
Sure he tells his team who to go after but he doesn't sit with excecutives hammering out the details. In fact since Floyd left Top Rank he's gotten every fighter he's gone after except Pacquiao. Nobody other fighter has turned down an offer from Floyd, yet Pacquiaos turned him down twice. So I don't agree that Floyd ducked Pacquiao. I know that's the public preception but the facts don't support that argument.

Arum plans on milking Pac Man dry on Top Rank fighters...the Marquez KO loss came unexpectedly but even Manny Knows Arum does not wanna do business with Mayweather because he is too smart not to know Mayweather deserves the bigger purse and Mayweather isnt gonna let him stiff him on revenue, Gate, tickets, and PPV proceeds

According to Floyd, hes his own boss.

Show me one floydiot who is willing to make this fight happen for the sake of boxing. None. They are just like their coward idol who is making every possible excuses to block this fight.
Been called one and I would love for it to happen just to hear the excuses, not pacs original excuses, but the ones from his fans. You know past prime, Floyd waited, back in the day PAC would've won, you know those. I'm sure you will be full of excuses but don t worry you won't be alone.
Hopefully that Twinkie PAC will finally grow a backbone and demand it but it may be to late as one is moving forward and the other back. You know which is which
