Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Mayweather: March 13 or Bust Says Arum

i do hope it's at 147,not at a weight manny wants to make it,,he needs to stop with his demands and fight at 147,he's willing to fight higher against yuri foreman but he won't go to 147 instead has guys come down?..it doesn't make sense,,,if this fight is lower than 147 i don't think manny deserves much credit if he wins....come on,why make him come down when he can go up,he was thinking of going up against foreman.

I don't care when they fight March, May, September, December, March the following year~ I am patient I can wait. I can feel letting the fight build to a full boil even though demand is pretty high right now and at some point next year there will be a point of diminishing returns but I doubt demand is really going to fall off unless one of them slips up or the fight is not atleast signed in the next 12 to 16 months.

I am pretty sure they will still fight at some point next year, what I do know is this if the shoe was on the other foot people would be out of control with the Mayweather hate.

I will choose to wait and see before I make any firm judgements on the matter.

Gambler,

Floyd is a guy who fought most of his career at 130, and he turns 33 in a couple of months. We must be realistic about the shelf life of guys like that.

Further, there's a lot that can happen in a year that reduces the appeal of this bout. What if one of them loses? Then it isn't a 3 million ppv anymore. It just becomes a "run of the mill" 1.5 mil PPV. At best.

But my key question is this:
How is it harder for Pac to train BEFORE be becomes a congressman than AFTER he becomes a congressman?
As a newly elected, inexperienced legislator, don't you have to be in session?
How do you just go and take off four months from Congress?

Pacquiao already said he cant make it to 154lbs to fight anyone at that weight & 147lbs is his limit, give us source where Pacquiao actually say's he can fight Foreman.

Well, I believe Floyd's style, gym rat nautre and voerall lifesytle leads to having a long shelf life, I do not see him declining real fast.

Yea there is a lot that can happean in a year+ that is the risky side of things.


That is probably correct, but I am sure he can find a way to train and fight depending on how high his office is of course.

I stopped reading after your first sentence..I bet you were in about in every thread when Roach said that Floyd "didn't want to fight in March"..and dont be so quick to deny that..im going to check your post history.

Say brother, you look back , you will see I haven't flipped flopped anything !!!!! Smiles

I have hammered this til I thought I would get ousted ! Then when the Cotto fight happened and then several of us were right and the way the fight went against so many , we won the day at the KEY BOARD , smiles

Last i checked Manny worked for Bob Arum....Pacman is Bob's golden child. What Manny wants, Manny gets. You really expect us to believe that Bob Arum, the same Bob that hates Mayweather, is going to have Mayweather agree to a contract that favors Floyd? lmao, get a grip.

Well fight fans we have someone here who can give us the details of the nice contract, go ahead mang , tell us !

[h2k]

I think this is the best time for my boy floyd to fight pac, Pac will not have enough time to have a rest and heal from the cotto fight, this is the great strategy for my boy floyd to win this fight.

[jetgeomcx]

It doesn't make any difference. If he was capable of fighting Yuri Foreman in March, he is capable of fighting Mayweather in March, so obviously the eardrum is not an issue.

manny didn't ever say anything about a foreman fyt.
so you believe freddie when he talked bout a foremen fyt??
just like you believed freddie when he said manny will knock cotto, ricky and oscar out!!
manny isn't saying anything.......like in his other fyts!!
take your argument to freddie....not manny!

Mayweather is a ***** for wanting to fight on March 3rd

Of course he wants the fight quick so he can have the advantage!! Manny just fought 12 rounds with a big punching welter so Floyd being Floyd wants to take advantage by asking for the fight so quickly that Manny has very little time to let his body recover. I'm glad Manny is not falling for Floyd antics and I say he takes his time and fights Floyd on his timetable.


Do you guys really think that Floyd is gonna get away with getting an edge over Manny. This isn't another B+ fighter looking for a payday! Manny has to much clout right now and I'm glad that he isn't gonna let name calling and fruity mayweather fans saying he's ducking floyd force him into fighting at a time where he's not 100%.

I never really liked Pac but Im gonna puke if he lets floyd take advantage of the situation.
