Comments Thread For: Mayweather's Adviser Thinks Pacquiao Will Cave, Take Tests

If they think pac's going to give in.. they're wrong. Nothing in pacs side gives any sign that they will budge.. it will have to be a compromise that both camps ok with or this fight ain't happening..

Your contradicting yourself, if there is a compromise, guess what both sides had to budge. How does one party not budge or give in at all, but they compromise something that both camps are ok with? It could happen that way, but that is by definition not a compromise.

lmao why would anybody take ellerbe serious , hes nothing but floyd's *****, who cares what comes out of his mouth. pacquiao wouldnt make as much money vs foreman ? thats true. but i guarantee it would make more money than mayweather-hatton would and it would be more entertaining and PPV worthy just because manny's fights are always good and floyd's fights not so much. . .

ellerbe go tell gayweather for once in his life to risk his preety record, and not against matthew hatton lmao come on

Don't anyboby cancel their reservations or make plans on March 13th...this fight will happen on time. This fight needs Zero promotion after all of this psuedo-controversy. Anything other than this fight, wastes the March 13 date 'cuz there's no way in hell Pac's people can promote a fight w/ Foreman or anyone else who might become available with such a short window of time. Both fighters have already quietly lowered their demands...didn't Manny just take a piss test? Ask yourself, why in Heaven's name would he do that if he wasn't still planning on fighting Floyd on the agreed upon date. Also, May's people seem to be lowering the stipulations on the blood work. Yeah, I'll be placing my dollars on Mayweather to win a close, but decisive victory, with Manny accepting defeat with class and honor.

See, here we go again. I don't recall Floyd J.R.'s mouth ever being open.

Mayweather did insinuate Pac being dirty in his sparring session w/ Rugged Man. (They got the best PED's in the Phillipines, don't they...). Other than that, I can't recall Floyd anything else that could be interpreted as false or bigmouthed statements from PBF.

8'th title

Who cares if Manny doesn't make a lot of money fighting Yuri. I say go for another history & take that 8'th division world title. No one else will be able to break that record & it will solidify Manny's status as the greatest boxer of all time.

[KingTito]

They've both gotta budge a little. This fight has to be made.

True, true....I actually deleted the comment before I got this response. Sr, yes, he did his usual thing with his mouth. And Roger, well what can you say about him? LOL, but Floyd has actually been the quiet one of the crew, this time around. But I am a long time boxing fan, and have attempted to support Floyd over the years. But the "Legacy don't pay bills homie" comment Floyd made, has me questioning my own stance. He also stated in the same interview, that "boxing was dead without him". I am starting to re-evaluate how I rate Floyd. For all the talent he displays in the ring, I as a fan feel cheated not to be able to see that talent on full display. I say that in all fairness to Floyd, but I do not recall the last fight he was in, where he was the underdog. I am not going to say he DUCKS anyone, that's absurd, he is not afraid of anyone. But I do feel cheated, when he will consistently take the fight that makes him the most money, but not the fight the fans want to see. He feels his boxing legacy is secure, I am not so sure about that. And I do understand that this is a business, but say what you want about Floyd's heart. He is hands down, the most skilled and technical fighter in the game right now.IMO, I think it's unfair for him not to allow the fans to see that maximized, and then call yourself an all time great. Prime example, Floyd is easily, physically more gifted than Bernard Hopkins, but BHOP will put it on the line to prove himself against anyone, anywhere, and at anytime. For the right amount of money of course. LOL, but I digress............

Just allow Pacquiao have a 2-3 day cut off.

[DigitalBeast]

Nope, Pac himself said he needs a 30 day cut-off date not 4 or 5 days.

Bull****. Pretty positive he said anything outside of 1-2 days would be OK with him. 4-5 days would be reasonable, if he also wouldn't be drained too much during training.
