Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs Pacquiao Negotiations Hit a Snag

[odogg8121]

What really pisses me off is that talks have stalled because of Pac's political desire to run and now Roach is saying that they might fight Foreman for the 154 in March? WTF is that ****? I thought Roach said that March is too early for the Mayweather fight? I always belitted Floyd when he cherrypicked his opponents at 147 but Pac fighting Foreman at 154? That is cherrypicking at its' FINEST!

If you're P4P champ, fight Williams, Martinez, or Clottey at 154, not some light hitting rabbi in the making!

It would be better if he didn't fight anyone next except for Floyd.

They know Floyd will not lose to Pac. He will take him a part round by round and put him to sleep in 8. So like my man RJJ says why take a fight u cant win lmao...well manny why?

How can Gayweather KO Pac if he even can't KO Marquez?

I would say the other way around, Pacquiao had just TKOed Cotto who was ducked by *****weather.

BTW, Pacquiao by brutal KO in teh 6th round.

yup and Pac who want to play politics, be fair dude ur guy is messing up the mega fight not the guy u luv to hate lmao this is great Pac is about to lev u *******s hanging lmao.....but the best part is yall still try to blame May lol may not running for any elections so Pac not goin up against him but yall make it sound lik oh nooooo there is no way Pac is ducking May lmao clowns

i want the fight to happen...much more than u think....

but the elections in the philippines is on may and pac wants to be a politician...for me i dont like it...i want him to stick to boxing...but who am i to tell him what to do????

if he is running for office let him be...he just fought a top welter 2 weeks ago....he deserves a break...

am a fan of pac cause he made me a lot of real money ever since the diaz fight...its funny coz pac never let me down....i dont really care what u guys say coz talk is cheap...as for me i made money out of pac...can u say the same about ur fighter?

dude i dont lose sleep over this..im not a boxing expert and dont really care...im here in this forum to have fun not to compete with so called experts...i want action..i want fights whether be it bhop,SSM, pwill, pac, super six, the klit bros. as long as the fight is entertaining enough im a fan...

im not blaming may...i blame pac actually because he wants to be a politician..there is no shame in wanting to serve ur country...

but what ticks me is the supposed fight of may against matt hatton?? as a boxing fan..is this acceptable to u???

I can accept plenty of criticism of Mayweather and have done it myself plenty of times.

You are the one who cant accept anything positive about him.

Show me where I am not fair to Manny in this discussion. Do I go out of my way to call him names or degrade him?

Despite what you say youre still the one with the red reputation.

You and the silly red reputation argument. You realize this an online forum correct? I derive and judge accomplishments based on real world accolades not in online red/green k (you do realize some posters on here with massive amounts of green k couldn't write there way into an online college if they tried right?). If an online forum were the equivalent of a college classroom, you wouldn't be in it.

My contention is simple, Pac takes tough fights and challenges himself. Let me ask you a question. Pac is willing to fight for a title at 154? If Paul Williams presented an opportunity for Floyd at 154, would you without the blinders on, realistically think Floyd would take that challenge? What does he have to gain by fighting Matthew Hatton? I give Floyd credit for having talent. I also think he is doing himself and his talents a disservice by not taking on tough fights.

honestly March doesn't make ANY sense at all. It takes time to promote a fight of this magnitude. This could be a bit of a mess...I guess I can understand Pac's perspective...but he's got to realize big fights DO NOT work like that, I know Arum's been telling him this too.....*sighs*...this could be a mess for us all

Lets be honest Pac is a problem wen it comes to making fights, look at him vs DLH, look at him vs Hatton. He is known for his probs making fights......go head *******s clean that up, oh yea clean it up witout tryin to say floyd did it lol bet u cant

"Trainer Freddie Roach has confirmed BoxingScene.com's big scoop over the weekend, Manny Pacquiao may move up to 154-pounds to target a world title shot against undefeated WBA champion Yuri Foreman. Foreman and Pacquiao are both promoted by Top Rank. Roach, who will be in Amir Khan's corner this Saturday, told British press that Floyd Mayweather Jr. doesn't want to fight Pacquiao in March, and Manny doesn't want to wait until May or June to fight again - likely due to a possible election run as noted earlier by BoxingScene's Ronnie Nathanielsz."



Now why would Money May not fight Pac on march? He has rested more than Pac considering Pac just fought this month?

That's a flat out lie there. It was Roach who said he didn't want the fight in March because they needed more time to prepare.When you find where Mayweather said this on record let me know.

Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, isn’t interested in any interim fights before facing Mayweather.

" I want Mayweather, next," he told Max-TV on Tuesday morning at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, California." Why go after someone else? I want to go for the whole thing, the big ones. The thing is, you talk about March, but that fight can’t be made by March because we need more time, of course, to be 100-percent healthy. I’ll have a ten week training camp, new sparring partners, just a whole different ballgame. We know how to get in shape and we’ll be in great shape and all that stuff but the game plan will be completely different. There’s a lot of changes we have to make. But I have a guy who’s very capable of making those changes."

Actually that is not the definition, although I will give you some credit for trying and bringing a portion of it.

Here is wikipedias definition of credibility-
Traditionally, credibility has two key components: trustworthiness and expertise, which both have objective and subjective components. Trustworthiness is a based more on subjective factors, but can include objective measurements such as established reliability. Expertise can be similarly subjectively perceived, but also includes relatively objective characteristics of the source or message (e.g., credentials, certification or information quality). Secondary components of credibility include source dynamism (charisma) and physical attractiveness.

Im guessing you are in the red because no on trusts or agrees with your opinions and the fact that you have no expertise.

Amazing isn't it that when you're not copying and pasting, you manage to still spell your own words incorrectly? I'm sure you were the brightest of the bright in your remedial classes.

LOL Pac turning down the biggest fight of his career so he can try and run for congress, where he will be able to accomplish... what?

why not wait for politics until you are done with boxing?
Manny is a great fighter, and smart inside the ring, but outside he is an idiot.

Pac is picking out the weakest title holder at 154. He is trying to get a cheap belt.
