Mayweather Hints Manny Pacquiao Might Be Next Opponent

I dunno everyone floyd was supposed to fight in their prime he ended up fighting later in his career apart from margarito i think he'll do the same with pacquiao

Floyd wants to give Manny $40,000,000, and he'll take home everything else. That is why the fight won't happen. He'll probably only want to give manny $20 mil now.

Where was the hint towards a fight with Manny in this article? All we can do is hope the fight gets made. Few thought the Canelo fight would happen so there's still a possibility this will.

Seriously? I don't think either of us know Floyd personally, but we do know every year he provides for the homeless for Thanksgiving, we also know that he paid for Genardo Henandez's funeral because his family didn't have the money. Yes Floyd did create a persona to make himself marketable because this is an entertainment business. But that persona does not mean that is the person he is when the cameras go off. And lets stop with the BS. Floyd is not afraid of Pac, nor do I think Pac is afraid of Floyd. However Arum has not been willing to chance the fact that his cash cow may lose. We also know he beats on women, and that he has a harem of whores and that he is a racist, from multiple rants and not just a one off, we know he physically assaulted someone or had his bodyguard do it for him...so whats your point homeboy?

Oh, I disagree, Espy. They need each other - not for money (well, maybe Manny does), but rather for how boxing history will ultimately judge them. Years from now, people will talk about one or the other as great champions, with an asterisk -- the fact that they never met in the ring. conversation in 2020... floyd fan - "fmj is the goat" casual fan - "but he never fought or beat manny" floyd fan - "yeah but he would have beat manny anyway, so he's the goat by default" casual fan - "get the fuuuk outta here" I really doubt this will have the impact on his legacy that you guys think it will. If Mayweather retires undefeated the argument will always be that he never lost, and if Manny loses any more fights the "tarnish" from not fighting Pac will be even less. You can already see it happening, after JMM who is a future HOFer and P4P great ko'd Manny, a lot of the flak that Mayweather was getting for "ducking" Pac dissipated. Mind you that's after JMM a GREAT fighter ko'd Pac. If Pac loses to anyone lesser than JMM I imagine the effect would even be greater. A lot of people said SRL would have an asterisk next to the Hagler fight because of how he fought him. That didn't turn out to be true. Decades later I watch HBO classics and no mention of an asterisk, just a win. Mayweather has the skills to transcend 1 fight or lack thereof; suggesting that the Pac fight not happening would tarnish his legacy is like suggesting that one loss would tarnish his legacy. This is simply just not true.

Comprehension is horrible all-around on this board; he didn't hint to a Manny or Khan he said if either than I will see them May 3rd.

More bs talk or are the tides possibly turning? http://sports.yahoo.com/news/floyd-mayweather-hints-manny-pacquiao-might-next-opponent-181600694--box.html If history teaches us anything, it's that Money fights for the Money. Pacquiao is having tax trouble and is probably willing to accept anything that Mayweather offers. What's Arum going to say? He's the reason Pacquiao's in this mess. And if he isn't, Pacquiao still isn't getting the $40 million offer again. So Mayweather makes out like a bandit and gets praised for it, because PR will twist it and say Mayweather didn't make out like a bandit, he helped Pacquiao get out of tax troubles. It's a win win for Mayweather... I think the fight gets made...

I think it's possible, because as others have noted, he certainly doesn't need pac to sell the Kahn fight. And the Kahn fight could have already been made. So him bringing up Pac here suggests that fight is in play.

you know whats funny as I thought this would be a perfect time for floyd to take this fight. all the talk has started up again could sell alot Exactly the hype train is back. All that is left is for Floyd to man-up. It still is a big fight.

LMAO,, you guys have no heart,, I honestly think if manny is facing huge tax problems, and facing jail time like wesley snipes, floyd will come in and help him out.. if ali did it to frazier in the early 80s, I think floyd would lend a helping hand to manny, of course floyd would make tons of cash in the process as well "I'm not focused on anyone right now. My focus is on myself." -- Floyd

They will fight next year; as long as Floyd hasn't signed to fight him he's scared but when he does is because Manny will be considered finished.

It's about damn time. Manny needs the money while Floyd needs the legacy.

I could see Floyd announcing a Pac fight, waiting until all the tickets and PPV were sold/Bought and then on fight night coming out with a Pacquiao Cut-Out and taking longer than Humanly necessary to destroy it. The percentage of the world with brains would of course call him an Idiot, but his Moronic Fanbase would no doubt claim it as the greatest - Sorry "Graytist" - thing since sliced bread. "money may da new ali!"

Floyd using Pacman's name to sell his fight against Amir tomato Khan.

Some of the posts here are so stupid. Some of you guys get off to this pointless back and forth and name calling and side taking about who will not make the fight when it's clear that both sides are avoiding the fight. If you can't see that then you are a very biased fan and clearly riding the penis of Manny/Floyd to the point that you are losing a grip on reality. Manny doesn't need Floyd, Floyd doesn't need Manny. Three years down the line Floyd will not be "considered a joke" if he doesn't fight Manny. He will still go down as an ATG and argued as the GOAT. The Manny fight will be an after thought. As more time passes people will completely forget about the lack of this fight if it doesn't happen. I'm a Floyd fan and realize that Floyd has done things that suggest he is ducking Pac, but Pac has also done things suggesting that he is ducking Floyd. Try to stop sipping the hateraid from both sides and look at the situation without bias before becoming a keyboard warrior. It makes you look like a groupie, I'm beginning to think you guys must get paid to ride nuts so hard.

Exactly lol minus the 1.5m from the 2m His real pull is 500k, and that is inside USA :rofl: i'll be generous and throw him an extra 100k, giving him 600k on the average...the guerrero fight did 870k total... damn now i'm f'ing with the numbers...lol

1.5 million mexicans paid to see him lose to their dude...lol Exactly lol minus the 1.5m from the 2m His real pull is 500k, and that is inside USA :rofl:
