I think its time us fans get what we want! If floyd wont fight pacquiao in his next fight then we should all boycott and not pay for the fight! Hes smiling making millions happy and laughing while we get stuck with a $60-$70 tab per fight for fights that are espn fights at best. This is ridiculous already, if your the "best in the world" then fight the other man who's also considered the best in the world not to mention the past decade! Who cares if he got ko'ed by marquez, robbed by bradley. Cotto has lost alot of fights and is still gettin shots at the big names. We keep getting the run around and the sh1t end of the stick with this fight! The fans wanna see it, the casual boxing world wants to see it and yet so many excuses to avoid it! Its time we stop getting suckered into paying so much for hand picked ppv fights that we all know the outcome. If floyd wont fight pacquiao then we should all boycott! Idc who's fault it is although my personal opinion is that floyd's the ducker! Lets just make this happen already!
Pac isnt the other best in the world hes barely in the p4p top 10. Garcia, Lara, Bradley are all much more deserving at a shot at mayweather. i mean bradley is a severly underestimated welter, he had a close fight with pac and personally i think if he fights pac again he wins via decision. all this pac vs floyd hype is so 2009-2010. i personally thought canelo was going to be a tougher fight than pac would be for floyd.
garcia doesnt get the respect he deserves, great boxer, decent chin, power, speed, he has the lot really. he looks like he could make the jump to 147 and compete.
People getting to excited over this rios win, no-one is calling for alvarado mayweather so why is pac deserving of a shot now after one good recent fight? why is it floyds responsiblity to make this fight surely it isnt? hes top dog, p4p #1 etc. its pretty clear its neither fighter who is ducking the other. Pac is floyds mandatory but can you really see pacs team being ok with the standard 25% the mandatory usually gets? certainly not. this fight will never happen until manny leaves top rank. i think floyd has said hed sign pac for TMT so maybe thats the way to go!
Boycott only becomes effective when you give fans alternatives like free streams or something like $4 fees for online subscription. Or tell them to watch in pubs, or public places. You can also campaign about pooling, like hundred people per PPV sale. Tell your friends and relations to watch at a friend's big house and watch the fight there. Anything that minimizes the need to pay numerous PPV per house. Go on Facebook, Twitter, and spread the message.
If Floyd fights Khan, you'll see me b*tch. That would be a dumb fight, straight up.
But I couldn't complain about any of these
Maidana
Lara
Garcia
Pacquiao
Bradley
hahah dude he aint fighting Lara, nobody knows who the **** he is nor gives to shyts about him. Bradley & Pac forget about it. They with Arum.
That leaves Garcia or Maidana. It'll most likely be Garcia next (after Khan) since he deserves it more.
Mayweather fights the same time every year...Arum said pacs next fight in april...like he does everytime Mayweather picks a date...let's be fair here. Rios was probably the worst opponent of either fighter in the last few years.
u make a good point, BUT floyd is the one makin up all the excuses to NOT fight! if u wanna be fair, then lets be fair. I believe its safe to say (thru evidence provided in this forum) that floyd is the one avoiding this fight at all cost! Pac has agreed to all the dumb BS mayweather wanted and yet here we are still nowhere near sealing the deal. You must admit this is all fishy since its not the 1st time or the last. There's video proof of floyd saying why he wont fight pac...we've all seen it. you want to be fair, then be fair and make an unbiased decision as to why this fight hasn't happened. I'm sure we'll come to the same conclusion.
The one who seems to be avoiding the fight for a while is floyd.....all fingers point to Floyd buddy NOT pac! This is my reason as to why i would like to boycott.

I love boxing , and will def watch the fight BUT at a bar not buying that ish!!!
hope floyds numbers tank like pacs, which i think it will after the canelo no action bout. (more canelos fault though). it will humble him down much like broner needed. and showtime will continue to push floyd toward pacquiao fight
so our only hope is if floyds next fight tanks because his whole ordeal is on ppv buys/ticket sales, so if no one buys he has to take on a big name opponent to make up for it much like he had to with canelo. bu$iness baby
BOYCOTT/ STREAM IT ONLINE OR WATCH AT BAR!
im with you on that! screw the BS already!
Should we boycott Pac's next fight too, if it's a Brandon Rios tailor made type opponent or a rematch with Bradley? I don't think so. Boxing aficionado's will still watch both as will alot of casual fans.

We all know that 100 mil. is cigarette money to Floyd, but at the same time the only recourse a fan/customer has is to vote with his wallet. It may be futile but at least some people are willing to stand on principal, and that's a good thing.
He's in contract for 32mil purse no matter what...even if 0 people bought his PPV....he'd get 32 mil. At this point the fight is pretty much not going to happen. Oh what could've been.
We don't care about Mayweather/Pacquiao because pacquiao is not in
Floyds league.Pacquiao has been dropped over and over again...and Floyd
will drop him too.Pacquiao was getting dropped early in his career and he
is still getting dropped today!...Floyd is a Rolls Royce and Pacquiao is a Pinto.
You don't care. Most of the boxing world does. If it's such an easy fight and it def would be the biggest fight ever, why has Floyd come up with excuse after excuse. Manny is an all time great fighter. Floyd is the best at not getting hit. Floyd is also good at using Mexicans to make money and taking all the credit for it.
It's unrealistic because he is a natural 54 pounder. Floyd's too small to fight a natural 54 pounder at 54, hence Canelo at 52. Cotto being a former JWW and WW it was ok at 54. He will stick to 47 from now on.
Floyd is the jr middleweight champion. Thee jr middleweight Champion. 3 time. Top fighter in boxing. This excuse does not exist.

I still have yet seen you tell me why Lara/Floyd is unrealistic. All Floyd fights are ppv. No matter who the opponents is.
But tell me why Lara is an unrealistic opponent. You who are so full of common sense.

Lara is gunning for Canelo? What does that mean? Canelo is ginng for Angulo and Molina. Guess which is more priority.
You keep talking about fights after May. Why? Why not the May fight??
Canelo is gunning for Cotto. He knows that's a big payday and he knows he can win it.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm on board, we've given way too much money to that ****er to not be delivering the best fight by now.
Thanks, I'm just sick and tired of the excuses!
