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

[1SILVA]

While everyone has jumped on the Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao wagon, Manny's attorney, Franklin Gacal, told The Philippine Star that it won't happen until the mid or late point of 2010. Gacal spoke to Pacquiao last night, and as of last night, Pacquiao has no plans to fight until after the May elections. Earlier this week, Pacquiao announced that he was running for a congressional seat in the Philippines. [Click Here To Read More]

Just the other day Roach was saying Mayweather didn't want to fight March 13th but now Pac don't want to fight March 13th. If he want to help his people make 40 million and give half the money to charitys...

This BS is making me furious! Pacman needs to sign the ****ing contract and fight Floyd on March 13th. I have a feeling if this fight doesn't happen March 13th, it will never happen. For one Floyd will say I agreed to fight him and he backed out which will be 100% correct. Floyd won't wait until Sept. Anything could happen between now and Sept. Not to mention if Manny wins the seat in Congress, he will not have time to properly prepare for a fight. Manny's boys claimed he would fight Foreman in March so why the excuse not to fight Mayweather. If Pacquiao doesn't make this fight in March, I'm done with him. If he doesn't sign the contract, he needs to retire and be a ****** ass politician.

People thought Floyd was being funny, when he asked for Manny to say publicly Himself, live (not in some local paper) that he wanted to fight. Floyd knew there would be several people speaking for Manny, but Manny has to want the fight himself.

If this does not happen, Floyd should take a stay busy fight around the same time or close to the Berto/Mosely fight. That way he can be fresh for the winner of that fight.

But thats secondary..

Lets just hope the Pac situation get sorted out, because the momentum is very high with the casual fans right now, and the world is expecting this fight. The sport media is all over this Mayweather vs Pac fight.

I Respect Pac, but he has a real decision to make.

Fight the biggest fight in Boxing History while still in your prime?

or go into politics and hope the momentum is still there later.

I cant speak for Manny, but -- Politics is something you can do much much later in life...
boxing is not so generous.

pac just came off a tough fight in cotto and march is 3 months from now.. And the its not like the elections thing wasn't expected, it was since 2007.. Roach was the only one opening his mouth about a fight in march or something(this is a time where roach talks too much for their own godd).. Dont get me wrong I want this fight to happen but the timing is not right for pac..

Yeah, and that's what I said at the beginning... the ones that is to blame is not Pacquiao... I give him the benefit of the doubt that he would even fight on election day and afterwards fly back to the Phillippnes *loooooooooool*

Arum and Roach should just shut the **** up... bottom line

[RSBonos]

PAC is scared of losing in March and not being able to get the votes in May after the loss..

Maybe, but I don't think that Manny is scared of facing Mayweather in general.

Its silly to say that he is ducking the fight when he has always looked to fight the best and its clear that the fight will happen at some point next year.

This is just a bunch of crazed Floyd fans looking at anything to deflect away from Mayweather's lack of big challenges in the past few years.

...and all credit to Mayweather, he agreed to the fight and it seems like he made the negotiations easy. Pac has been a drama queen lately during negotiations but has always come through. Now the election might delay the fight and like it or not he will not suddenly drop out of the race to fight Floyd in May.

Also, don't take his lawyers word on anything yet, Arum hasn't even shown Manny the proposed contract yet. If it was any other athlete then they would be crazy to train for the biggest fight/game of their career and at the same time run for congress, Manny is the only guy who could pull it off...so don't discount March yet.

I just hope that because of the delay we won't have to put up with two "tune up" PPVs.

Why don't you grow balls and bet on Pacquiao over Mayweather instead

I know the fight will happen, but you know if this was Mayweather doing all of this he would' have been called a ducker and you would have seen 1890089 hate threads on Mayweather. Stop going around betting posters that the fight will happen next year and start betting that Pacquiao will beat Mayweather

grow balls yourself and sig it. deal.

[heavyndasteets]

scared ass pac man

now the ****ing world knows pac is a ***** he's scared 2 fight mayweather so all u haters can shut the **** up til pac mans up lmao...maybe mayweather was rt when he said pac is scared 2 fight a black fighter???

[Maidana vs Rios]

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.

What if Pac's eardrum really is busted?
