Floyd on Meeting with Pac Man "He Beat a Light Wait Now They're Saying he's Back"

PBP12y ago

From FightHype: "My thing is this, you know, I don't really like to get into anyones financial business because I don't really want anyone in my financial business. You know, from what I hear, you know, I can go by from what I hear. He has problems; some real, real big problems, you know, and its three letters, and the first one begins with an I;, so would I be trying to get a potential fight with Floyd Mayweather if I'm in a very, very bad predicament from what I hear? Absolutely I would," Mayweather continued, making note of the fact that Pacquiao's recent tax issues likely motivated his desire to meet in person to talk. More importantly, however, Mayweather just isn't convinced that Pacquiao's lopsided victory over Brandon Rios was enough to prove that he's fully recovered and still able to compete at an elite level following his devastating knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez. "So I guess, he was just 0 and 2 and your hear people saying, Manny, aw, his career is over. They was cracking so many different jokes about him, and you know, me, myself, I never once cracked a joke about him or anyone else because on one really knows what it takes to get inside that squared circle and go out there and fight your heart out. It takes a lot; it takes a lot, and boxing, its give and take and its a roller coaster ride. You got to just accept it for what it is," he added. "Like I said before, everybody like; you know, Pacquiao just got a cool victory, so everybody like;Uh, what about the Pacquiao fight? I mean, just, if I'm not mistaken, a year ago, y'all was like, ;This guy is through. You know, 9 or 10 months ago, they was talking about, ;This guy needs to retire. Now he comes back, he beat a lightweight, and now they're saying, "You know what? He's back. He can beat a slick, rangy, a real welterweight http://www.fighthype.com/news/article15788.html

What he said is the truth. The only issue is he's contradicting the **** out of himself should he choose Tomato Khan. He already contradicted himself by bashing Pac for saying he beat a LW. Truth is, Rios is a bigger man than Pac. The only difference is, Pac doesnt starve/dehydrate himself in order to shrink down to a smaller weight class in order to try and have a size advantage. Pac is a 140lb fighter who campaigns at WW because he has the attributes to do so. Floyd on the other hand fought a true LW in JMM. Dragged him up to 144lbs then cheated him on the scales. Which was worse? Now if Floyd were to fight Khan, he would look like a complete azz.

This is simply embarrassing. Floyd can't be the #1 P4P fighter if he doesn't want to fight someone who a great majority of the boxing world thinks will give him the greatest challenge, the greatest money, and the greatest boxing event in decades. He doesn't want to fight someone who's even naturally smaller and lighter than he is! For chickensakes, he wants to fight Khan! LOL

I got quite an education reading some of these post. 1. If you're a politician in the Philippines you're set for life. 2. If you're Floyd Mayweather it doesn't matter how much money you make in your life, you'll be broke in 5 years. I didn't find anything wrong with what Mayweather said. 99% percent of the people that have a problem with it is only because it's coming from Mayweather. If the situations were reversed and Mayweather all of sudden says he's taking a trip to the Philippines to meet with Pacquiao, this site would crash instantly from the "fans" talking bad about Mayweather. That same 99% would be urging Pacquiao not to meet with Mayweather much less give him a shot at a fight. This is just another indication that the fight is a long way from happening if it's happening at all. What he said is the truth. The only issue is he's contradicting the **** out of himself should he choose Tomato Khan.

Such a great fighter and winnable fight for Floyd....but he still doesn't want it. Sadly seems just as bad as Arum.. Do us fans justice and sign the fight already.....or at least do as much as you can to get the fight

The only thing more pathetic than these excuses he keeps coming up with in order to avoid the fight is the fan boys who actually defend him and his excuses. If my favorite fighter came up with half the excuses floyd has, I'd say he was a straight bich and no longer support him.

It doesn't work like that, the fight is meaningful as long as the fans want to see it. Flomos can pretend otherwise to back their man but public demand drives this sport and as long as there is demand and both boxers are still fighting at a high level they're going to continue to be asked these questions (and rightly so). Pacquiao gets asked these questions too, but he deals with them differently, he says "I want the fight, what is he scared of?", tells you all you need to know. After PAC v JMM 3 in the ring while getting booed PAC says May 5th let's go then arum enters ring and it's back to up to my promoter. That should tell you all you need to know.

I agree with you that it's still a meaningful fight. Everyone still wanted to see it, even before the Rios win. I think there's just too many egos involved though for the fight to happen.

Floyd just got put into the sad category. He'll never be an ATG in my book. EVER. **** that dude.

Because the fight is dead, for good or bad reason, and on top of that it's no longer meaningful. It takes two to make a fight, I don't care what Arum says, he's a self-admitted liar. The two promoters will not do business with each other anytime soon, so unless one of the fighters leaves his promoter, forget about it. It's time to move on now, you'll never date your celebrity crush, you'll never be on Forbes billionaires list, Santa doesn't exist, and the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight will never happen. It doesn't work like that, the fight is meaningful as long as the fans want to see it. Flomos can pretend otherwise to back their man but public demand drives this sport and as long as there is demand and both boxers are still fighting at a high level they're going to continue to be asked these questions (and rightly so). It's still the biggest fight that can be made in the entire sport. Pacquiao gets asked these questions too, but he deals with them differently, he says "I want the fight, what is he scared of?", tells you all you need to know. I don't know why Floyd doesn't just come out and say it as he did before. If Bob Arum is involved, there's no fight. Because it was just an excuse from the get-go. Floyd's a promoter (of sorts) now too, it probably won't be that long until he deals with Top Rank again.

I don't know why Floyd doesn't just come out and say it as he did before. If Bob Arum is involved, there's no fight. Bec use everyone knew they had beef except PAC fans. He would've done it the first round but team PAC walked and arum spun it to make Floyd look like a coward only to reverse that recently. Floyd isnt Bending backwards for him anymore and that has been apparent for awhile now. Floyd doesn't need them but they need Floyd. I want the fight to happen but if it doesn't oh well. This sport isn't just them two.

so lemme get this straight; when PAC was wrecking people, he wasn't worthy of a fight when PAC goes on a losing streak, he wasn't worthy of a fight when PAC finally gets back on the winning track, he still isn't worthy of a fight it's time for a PAC-Berto fight to make PAC finally worthy End of thread right here. You just summed it up perfectly. There's ways going to be a reason why floyd doesn't want to fight Pac.

Oh and yea, he was with Lou DiBella during that time, so no GBP and TR Beef.Arum has got beef with Al Haymon.

Yes, that's correct. China doesn't really rely on natural resources like that. Instead, they are pretty much buy the natural resources they don't have, or buy access to those resources. China does rely on it's natural resources for money though somewhat. They mine tons and tons of gold to add to their holdings. Gold is money. I think they might even be the #1 producer of it these days. They buy lots of bitcoins to add to their holdings too. it's morning time right now probably waking up to buy more www.fiatleak.com :lol1: Man I had no idea they was buying up bitcoins too! ahahah Bitcoins is too pricey to me right now. The time to grab them was earlier in the year. I might grab some of the other digital currencies going against them.

Shockingly, it's from Karceno of all people. He actually DEFENDS Manny. SHOCKING. Its not shocking. He always defends people he hates. But when they are going against Floyd, he will be biased. This is not a situation that involves Floyd at all. Its just about Pac as a fighter, and his own personal life.
