floyd to skip marquez and fight manny pacquiao

[LIL_KULIT808]

Funny, an injured rib is much harder to verify than a broken hand or torn ligament. The ambiguity of Floyd's injury timed with a recent report of Bob Arum's willingness to split the purse 50-50 for a future fight between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao makes me think Floyd became injured to go directly to a fight with the Filipino.

Sure Floyd was favored to beat Marquez -- a man coming up to fight as a welterweight for the first time -- but the Mexican ring technician was no walk in the park tune-up.

Look for Floyd to skip past Marquez, with no re-scheduling, and fight Manny Pacquiao during November, 2009.

nah he's not that ballsy, won't happen

[Deeznuts]

WTF does he have an injury?

[Jone2ts]

Fine with me.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

well, if you're gonna **** with a lightweight, might as well **** with the lightweight that everyone wants to see him with



poor juan...i can already see GBP giving him step-aside money

[Heru]

So he's gonna give up a $15 million guaranteed payday to fight one of the fastest fighters in the world off a 2+ year layoff. Smart thinking.

[Spacey1991]

Where did you get this from? I doubt its faked... but its a good point I guess, I don't think its a good idea taking on Pacquiao without any type of tune-up though...

[manok uli]

When did Arum say he will agree to a 50-50?

[Animalistic]

Arum will not let Pacquiao face Mayweather so stop this crap already.

I would feel bad for JMM, the fight with him should happen... I reckon the injury is legit though...
