Floyd Jr: "If Manny Wants it, I'll Pay Juan To Step Aside"

[Gabilan]

all the little crybaby posters claiming they are tired of floyd and they hate him need to shut the **** up...you ****s have always hated him...stop with the complaining...floyd just basically called manny out...let's see how manny responds...and like i told you before---floyd is going to beat the living **** out of pac, trust when i tell you...

You are so blind man. Arum already offered him a 50/50 split and Mayweather rejected it. What's he worried about? He has a contract for five fights and if he beats Pac he is guaranteed to get the lion's share (major lion) in his subsequent fights against Cotto, Marquez, Mosley, whomever. All he has to say is yes. And yet you fall for his fake.

If Manny Pacquiao wants a showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr, all he has to do is ask. At least that's what Floyd told The Grand Rapids Press. Mayweather returns for the first time since December 2007 when he takes on Juan Manuel Marquez on September 19 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. If Pacquiao requests the fight, Mayweather says that he will pay Marquez to step aside so the fight can happen. Pacquiao is slated to face WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto on November 14.

I have a name for this fight if it happen "The Battle of the Bitches"

Everybody knows that the JMM and Mayweather bout is not a lucrative business decision. There are three obvious reasons that Mayweather became aware of and decided to call out Pacquiao; First of all, Mayweather is in dire need of financial stimulus to pay off his lenders (i.e. trash collector, mortgage, IRS...) and to do that he's dropping JMM and called Pacquiao for a profitable monetary pay-out.

Secondly, the likelihood of a minimum financial return that will affect his self-proclaimed bull**** notion that he's the "biggest attraction in boxing."

Lastly, it is probably a ploy to hype up his bout with JMM and to wake up the JMM fans to support the bout 100%.

Seriously...

Arum also said 2007 was gonna be Chavez jr breakout year!!!HAHAHAHA

I still think Floyd would win

He's all wrong for Manny, theres 2 reasons Floyd wants this fight, Money and he see's vulnerabilities in Manny

If i was Manny i'd face Cotto, Manny will tear Cotto apart

Me too. Cotto is a waayyy easier fight then Mayweather

for the first time in i dont know how long im happy after seeing what mayweather had to say.

he's willing to toss aside the fight with JMM (that many of us know really isnt the true test for him) to take on the top p4p fighter in the sport...without a tuneup fight at that.

sure he wants more money but floyd makes a good point...if he sold more tickets against oscar and hatton than pacman did then he makes a good point to get more money as he sold more tickets in his two fights with them...proving he's a bigger draw than pacman.

granted pacman is the top p4p fighter...and thats must be taken into consideration.

And the truth is pacman really does have the ball in his court.

in reality pacman doesnt need floyd as much as floyd needs pac...pacman has the title of the sports best in the world regarless of weight...floyd doesnt.

so with that being said i think 50-50 is fair...mayweather has the arguement for being the bigger draw (so thats a claim to bigger share) but pacman holds the legacy (so thats his claim to a bigger share)...so 50-50 sounds fair to me.

personally i think it would be more entertaining if floyd and pac fought and cotto and JMM fought and the winner of those two fights fight each other for the worlds best.

seems fair to me.

and the fighters seem more evenly matched that way.

i think it would be a great idea.

anyone agree?

why not ask for the fight himself? gotta love the mindgames

[Naldo]

Me too. Cotto is a waayyy easier fight then Mayweather

Buckdacious does Floyd let people watch him train the last week of the fight?

Per Micheal Rosenthal who was on the tele-conference with Mayweather:

"Mayweather said a fight against Pacquiao -- the fight most people believe is the biggest possible in boxing -- could happen but won’t if Pacquaio’s promoter, Bob Arum, doesn’t rethink his position.

Mayweather said Arum has offered a 50-50 split of the purse.

'(Arum) knows that’s not going to happen,' he said. '… If Bob wasn’t so greedy, the fight would happen.'"


Anything else buck? Or you dont believe Mayweather either? Will patiently await your well thought out response.

Again, all Mayweather has to do is pay off marquez (as he claims he can and will do) and accept a 50/50 split. Its really not all that hard.
