The blame for the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight not happening is all over the internet. Writers have their opinions and fans as well. The blame is mostly on Mayweather Jr. which is not that hard to see as Floyd's excuses are almost never ending. But who to blame is the last thing on my mind and the last thing people should even think about. Why the fight will never happen and why we should all move on is a much better use of our time.
Why it will never happen is simple. A lot of people don't get the concept that some fighters will never get in that ring no matter how much money you give them for reasons that are mainly very important to them. For instance, Juan Manuel Marquez will never get in the ring with Manny Pacquiao again not because he's scared but just because he knows he might not be able to KO Pacquiao again in the same fashion he did back in December and he'd rather not erase that memorable moment by taking on Pacquiao again for the fifth time. To Marquez that 6th round KO of Manny Pacquiao is more important than the money he will ever receive if they fight again for the fifth time.
I also remember Lennox Lewis retiring after his near disaster with Vitali Klitschko. Lewis was offered a lot of money to do a rematch but he never again put on another pair of gloves as a professional prize fighter. Vitali called him out numerous times to do it again and Lennox Lewis simply said no. He made excuses that his wife wanted him to retire and that there was nothing else for him to accomplish inside the ring at that time but in reality a rematch with Vitali couldn't have hurt anyone or anything but his legacy.
On with the super fight that will never take place. Floyd Mayweather Jr. already stated why he will never fight Manny Pacquiao. The first thing that comes to mind is his undefeated record according to a lot fans but there is one thing that is much more deeper than that and Floyd had already talked about that. The main thing that's more important to him than money is his health. He said it himself that you can take all the money away but at the end of the day his health is more important. The video of him saying exactly that is everywhere on the internet. He didn't say the fight will never happen because of Bob Arum. He said specifically that he will never get in the ring with Manny Pacquiao because his health is more important than all the money in the world even calling himself a rich coward.
So to say that the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight will ever happen to me is just a waste of time to even write or talk about. When one fighter finds a reason not to fight he will have tons of excuses never to fight. In Floyd's case the random blood testing etc...are just that...an excuse.
Imagine saying "hey we will fight but you're not getting one cent of the ppv share." Floyd knows any human being with a brain will refuse that offer. But that's always been the plan. To avoid a fight with Manny Pacquiao. And now it's on with Bob Arum.
So I say just enjoy one of the greatest fighter in boxing take on Amir Khan this May and maybe Marcos Maidana and just move on with the Manny Pacquiao fight.
Boxing fans move on. Just move on.
Y'all giving this man hell but can't dispute anything he says or label it as anything but facts.
Move on.
I agree with everything the guy said, but moving on is the best course as Floyd WILL NEVER get in the ring with Pacquiao. The one thing that amazes me is his own fans believe this guy's excuses. I would respect him more if he just let it go and admit to his fans that he is afraid Manny would hurt him
and possibly his long term health. No shame in that. But there is, when he calls Manny names and antagonizes and then starts the excuses when the time to back it up comes along. Like the punk kid that throws rocks and then runs home to Mama when you go to kick his ass.

Don't know why they keep mentioning Lewis.
Huge difference is he retired and never came back.

You should be banned for posting this garbage. There is a Mayweather/Pacquaio master thread. No need to keep creating these ridiculous threads every day.
Man Rick James was right cocaine is a hellava drug and this guy has been snorting/smoking way too much of it if he believes what he just wrote.. All Floyd wanted that put this fight on ice was random testing throughout and Pacroid went into duck mode. Now anyone with half a brain can tell you that any guy that balks at proving he's a clean fighter has something to hide if he makes excuses in order not to take the test. I personally feel Manny was juicing all along when HE started making excuses why he didn't want to test. But blaming Floyd only shows me how stupid Pacroid's supporters can be when the truth is staring them right in the face....
Ummmm. You missed the part about Manny refusing the random drug tests, suing for defamation resulting in a chump change award, then suspecting Marquez of being on that B-side meth, to then demanding random drug testing for his fight with Rios.
No need to try and twist the facts when they're already out there.
