Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Wants Mayweather Fight Pushed Further Back?

[Kevin Jesus]

Did you rip Floyd a new one after he postponed the Marquez fight? Not saying you didn't, I'm just curious.

With all the bull**** that Team Pacquiao/Roach are pulling, I find it hard to believe his fans are still defending him.

To answer your question, nevermind if I did or didn't. Mayweather actually signed to fight Marquez and never came up with political bull**** in order to duck Marquez.

Roach opened his big mouth saying they'll take the fight only if it's in March, Mayweather accepts, now what? nothing, that's what.

Mayweather postponed the fight and gave an exact date as to when it will be post pone.

Gacal: "Oh idk, maybe it'll happen in late 2010 we don't know yet *whistles*"

Ellerbe: "I apologize to all the boxing fans but Mayweather suffered a rib injury and we have to post pone the fight to September 19th"

I rather Mayweather lie about an injury to give a signed fight more time for promotion instead of blatantly duck a fighter and not make a fight happen at all.

Pac's team thought they were going to paint PBF as an unreasonable businessman and scared...

First it was about the split - Floyd accepted 50/50
Then they wanted to fight in May - Floyd agreed
Then they wanted to fight Foreman in March cause he was running for public office in May and claimed that HBO and Floyd wouldn't fight in March - Floyd agreed to the March Date.
Now they can't fight in March

WOOOOOOW!!! I have news for everyone...Looks like Manny and his team are trying to Duck Floyd...Floyd has to be careful...They are going to wait until the Mosely/Berto fight is over and let Floyd challenge Mosley if he's the winner and then Pac's team will claim that he can't wait around and line up the Foreman fight...I'd suggest Floyd chase Pac and don't let him fight anyone else...

I don't think Manny is avoiding Floyd at all.... March 13th is too soon for Pac after the battle he just had with Miguel Cotto, he won't be fully recovered by the time training camp would be due to start. Mayweather knows this and that's why he's already to go for that date, he sees it as his advantage. The elections make it hard to do it in April and May, I wish Manny had left all the political crap alone until he's retired.... plenty of time to do that when you're older.

It sucks that Manny is running for congress but its something that has been known for a long time, so its no surprise.

No one is ducking no one, if Manny feels like he will be distracted by the political race just move the fight to September. Its not that big a deal and its clear that the fight will happen at some point in 2010.

People should stop paying attention to what Roach says during negotiations, Pac's team doesn't even consult him at all. Roach is just going by second hand info and most of the time he is trying to hype things up and grab headlines.

you're acting like teens who's gonna get laid for the first time. i say give pac his time to take care of business. he;ll have one or two more fights left and the floyd fight will happen next year. if you think pac will totally duck floyd and nix any fight next year, sig it with a 1m bet.

[lilducer22]

i agree, i mean miguel coto is waaaay more dangerous than mayweather. he needs to recover from the beating

This is Wrong...Roach and Arum have said that they were willing to fight Foreman in March because Floyd and HBO weren't willing to fight in March...They were wrong Floyd called their bluff and now they are coming up with excuses as to why they can't fight Floyd in March...

??? If you're an ATG and your willing and able to challenge Foreman @ 154 in March you should be willing to fight PBF at 147 in March...

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it's a PAC.

HEY BHOPREIGN,

i say 600k that this fight gets made next year. take the bet and dont hide from me from one thread to another.

Is he hiding or are you stalking him from thread to thread?

[Pass...SoCal]

Not sure why everybody said the fight was official..

A contract is just a bunch of papers unless all parties involved sign their name on the dotted line. All these news outlets were reporting the fight was a done deal because Maywaether signed and I'm thinkin "What the f'k??"

Pretty Broke could've been asking for 70-30 on that contract, for all we know. If the devil tells you to sign a contract, you better read it first. That's all I'm saying..
