If he doesn't fight Manny now, it will be well known throughout, that he ducked Manny Pacquiao. Is he ready for those questions for the rest of his life? Funny how Floyd loves to fight flat footed opponents, but rarely fights opponents that can move & punch.
Manny and his team did a great job convincing the public that Floyd ducked him, but everyone who knows the first thing about boxing knows that they are both at fault for the fight not happening.
40 years from now when Mayweather is a lowly senior, people will still be hounding him on a near-daily basis as to why he ducked the biggest challenger of his career. How anyone can withstand so much criticism is beyond me.
I agree but with a twist. Even if the fight happens now Floyd will still get **** for waiting so long. Its well known he has fought many of the big names on his resume well past their prime. If he signs up to fight Pac now it will just further the theory that he was scared of him when they were both prime fighters. I mean how does a guy who calls himself money turn down the biggest payday in the sports history (potentially more than one with rematches involved) for so many years? Go back and listen to the Bob Costas interview, Floyd was straight up shook talking about Pacquiao like the man was a danger to his health.
Now if the fight doesn't happen then Floyd will get the brunt of the blame. Pac is generally liked more and will be seen as the guy that will fight anybody. Floyd likes to say he is his own boss, he is the A side, he makes the offers. Well if that's true then he has to take the blame when a fight fans wanted for years doesn't happen.
Manny would never let that slide. He's made a response to every single thing Floyd has said. If this was reversed, manny would have held a press conference the next day saying "If you want the fight, let's make it happen."
Cameras flashing and reporters all around him.
Meanwhile Floyd goes into hiding lol
He would literally hold a press conference.
I been saying it for a while. Floyd is the only athlete in history that gets a pass for being a coward.
Floyd fans love slurping on that dick head.
Its literally the biggest elephant in the room.
Let the tables be turned, and Floyd has a commercial mocking Manny about wanting to fight, and Manny doesn't respond at all. Dear god, the Floyd fans would be CRUCIFYING Manny.
There's a footlocker commercial basically calling him a ***** for gods sake. You think Thurman, GGG, Khan, Bradley, etc. would just sit there, and not say even one word about that? Not even one word.
Hell, Bernard would release a statement saying "bring it the **** on chump!" within minutes of seeing a damn nationwide commercial calling him a *****.
This is just bizarre.
What man with any sense of pride goes through weeks of being the biggest elephant in the room about not wanting this fight, and doesn't make a freaking PEEP about wanting to fight Manny this whole time?
No twitter, no Instagram, no ESPN appearance. Not a freaking peep from this guy. He has no pride, and its the BIGGEST elephant in the room.
Hell, even Lebron responded to Kobe when Kobe was calling him out a few weeks ago. Even Dwight responded to Kobe talking smack. Not even a peep. He has retarded publicists.
