Manny is an idiot for pulling this crap while he is still boxing. Either do one thing or the other.

To put things in perspective for the *****s:
The elections cannot be postponed. Pac would have to wait another three years if he misses this one.
The fight can be moved. if they miss the march date, no big deal, its not like the wait would be years like the elections.
Simple enough?Comment

its not that simple..it was as simple as "50/50 the fight gets made"
it was as simple as "may is the election so we want to fight in March, but Floyd doesn't want to fight in March."
Floyd agrees and those simple things FLEW out of the window. now pac fans are stuck with a bunch of excuses.Comment

I think Pullcounter just wants to say that its not good for Pac (nor anyone else) to do 2 big things at almost the same time.
-----------------------------------
The need for a well prepared Pacquiao is a testament to what kind of a fighter Floyd is.
A well prepared Pac would be a good win for Floyd, than a rushed one, right *****s?Comment

i said this about ricky hatton when he was lineal champion and refused to fight the other top guys in his division aside from carlos maussa.
when you are p4p number 1 in the world, or in hattons case, lineal champ of a division and you are in youre prime, you hold a title that says that you already have the skills and the ability that says you are ready. More is expected of you when youre number 1. Cotto signed for pac just weeks after a 12 round war with joshua clottey. Because he knows as a top fighter, alot is expected of him.
Elections mean **** in all honesty, if youre a politician then it matters, but you are a top level fighter, fighting is what you should be concentrating on. You cant be good at both, pick on and run with it, because in the end you are going to falter with one of the two.
People expected alot when mayweather was number 1, a neverending stream of opponents year after year, it was somewhat fair to hold him to that, because he held a p4p title that alot was expected out of him, pac is in that same position. There is always another threat, mayweather is that threat, **** politics.Comment

That's no excuse. Read here:
Sources have said that Mayweather already agreed to a March 13 fight. But, sources within Pacquiao's camp indicate that he might not fight until after the May elections in the Philippines. Manny will be running for a congressional seat in the country. HBO is willing to show the fight on any date possible.Comment

Pacquiao needs to concentrate on boxing. He can get into politics after he retires. What type of politician could he be if he has to spend months in the gym?Comment

Yeah i kinda think Roach was running his mouth on that one, but that's just me.
Pac hasn't spoken to the local media on when he wants it, neither has arum told anyone what Pac has decided.
As a fan i would like to get him to sign it asap, but these days i don't know what he'll do, the only constant being his political ambition.
Not really defending the Pacman, just thinking that he wants to ensure both a successful campaign and bout, i mean, you would try to give due attention to both difficult targets, so scheduling them apart would be logical.
Again, not defending their fight date flip flopping, only thinking why it would only make sense to schedule the fight after the elecion.Comment

I agree with the politics part, Pac has no business there while he is a Pro boxer. But there is no stopping him especially when he's the one wielding that much money, the people 'round him just wouldn't be able to say it in his face. Best thing to do is to not vote for him at all.
As for the pound for pound and take on all comers expectation of yours, yes he should take on all comers, but that don't mean at such a short period. a month or so won't hurt, as long as the fight takes place, as long as prime vs prime.
Like I said before, a win over a well prepared Pacman will silence critics.Comment
