It was a blatant move from the Mayweather Team to coincide the announcement after Pacquiao filed for his candidacy for a congressional seat.

mad props for the Mayweather team.

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.

"Mayweather doesn't want to fight in March, so we might fight for the 154 pound title in March and move up for that eighth world title. I'm thinking about that still and it's something that I'm kicking around in my head right now," Roach said.

"Yuri Foreman might be the opponent. It is a possibility, and then Mayweather in September. If they guarantee me that, we'll do that, but I need more of a commitment from Mayweather because he's not negotiating too well. It has to happen, and with the money they are going to make out of it, I feel it will happen. Mayweather can't make that money with anybody else."

Bernard Hopkins, a partner in Golden Boy Promotions [who are backing Mayweather], told BoxingScene.com over the weekend that Pacquiao would likely face Foreman before Mayweather, and Floyd would likely fight Shane Mosley - should he beat Andre Berto in January.

The very same date Pac considered for Yuri Foreman?
And what is this election bull****. If Pac wants to box, then box. If he wants to run for office, retire already. Theres no place for that in professional boxing.

[Easy-E]

after the elections and PAC tells floyd to get it on, i'll start the thread

maybe we should delve deeper into the issue and consider why Pac is running for a congressional seat and allowing it to impact the biggest fight of his career, maybe the of all time.

Exactly if this was Floyd going to shoot a movie or do dancing with the stars there woould be OUTRAGE for ****king up the biggest fight in the last 25 years.

This board was up in arms about Floyd ducking Manny.
Floyd offers the fight at a legitimate weight, with a even split at a date that Manny and his team has previously mentioned AND an alternative date he also mentioned.

And still, people are not giving him credit and saying offering the fight is a ***** move and complaining about some bogus election that was irrelevant before Floyd offered the fight.

Listen, just give the guy some credit for trying to make the fight happen.

fight in march was all roach, not from pac himself


and you think march is ok? thats too soon after the battering he took from cotto



and yes pac is calling the shots atm. nothing lil floyd can do about it really

These arnt real boxing fans on this board so what do you expect.

[PAKYO]

So where is that link about a 50/50 where floyd agreed and signed and the link where Pac said he will fight on March 2010?

Come on people, (except *****s, i know what to expect for you ) WHERE IS THAT LINK, I CAN'T FIND ANY OFFICIAL ONE!

Give it some time, it's only been a day.

Things can easily change.

E, do you have the slightest idea on how much money corrupt politics in Philippines brings? im not jabbing at you but im tellin you right now;

there is a reason why PAC had been aiming for that **** since two years ago...you get a seat as a politician of a town back in philippines and you've pretty much secured high paying jobs for your children's children


and really, who's to say that he wont accept this fight? he gets his seat in congress, he's set then he focuses on the PBF fight

is that such a big deal? dude's been giving us great fight after great fight and we can't wait a couple of extra months?


IF he doesnt sign to fight PBF in 2010, as with my thread for horus, then we can start the ducking allegations
