Very nice posts jetgeomcx. Telling it like it is yet keeping the optimism at an all-time high. I tend to agree with you. Manny will give the fans this fight whether Arum wants to or not. My guess is that tomorrow night the good news will break. I like your friendly beer-hugs as well. We're all in this together. No matter who you're a fan of.

Massachusetts Boxing Commissioner Thinks Mayweather is Ducking Pacquiao!

Massachusetts Boxing Commissioner Thinks Mayweather is Ducking Pacquiao!
by Peter Czymbor: on Commissioner Dan Fitzgerald

"I do believe that certain boxers, however, Muhammad Ali being one of the masters at it, will say or do things to gain a psychological advantage before a match, and Mayweather is known for that. Frankly, I do not think that Mayweather wants to fight Pacquiao, or anyone else for that matter, where Mayweather believes he may lose.

I have told you before that Mayweather will never fight Paul Williams or Shane Mosley no matter what promoters promise to pay him. Because Mayweather does not need the money, I would not be surprised if he was thinking along the following lines: Mayweather knows he would come in over weight (something for which he has a reputation), that he would have to pay a substantial fine (something that we know and that Mayweather certainly knows that the Nevada Commission is quite capable of imposing), a fine anywhere from $5-10 million dollars, and that he would end up netting the same amount as he would any other fighter, but one that he knows he could beat. So, why fight Pacquiao?

Rather than go through all of that, what does Mayweather do? He postures a little, raises an obscure issue that no one can prove or disprove, (it is very difficult to prove a negative), gets the fight cancelled, argues "I told you so," and comes away claiming he won without ever having to fight the guy. I am not saying that is what he is doing or going to do, but that scenario is a thousand times more likely than someone like Pacquiao cheating. No wonder Pacquiao sued him."

my optimism and belief stems from the fact that manny always want the fans to be happy...you just can't say the same for floyd.

don't be bothered by arum's tantrums....you and i don't want to be in his age!! he has menopaused a long, long ago.!!
his words doesn't quote manny.

i defend manny because i trust that he's clean...and will dump him if he's not!!
manny is not a cheat, floyd is.
team pacman is more credible than team floyd and gbp combined....you probably noticed how boxing scribes lambasted the latter for their own contradictions!!

Who cares exactly when the 14 day cutoff was first brought up? Its the offer Mayweather made at some point and Manny's team turned it down. Its pretty clear he's hiding something now, get over it people. I've never heard of an athlete who put up as much of a fuss over drug test as Manny has. What a ****ing joke.

another guy here who can't understand what he's reading.
manny has not heard of the new official offer from floyd,... yet!
and manny has not turned it down,... yet!!
you're a dimwit if you think manny turned it down because arum said "it's over"!!

give manny some time to make his decision...which can be very favorable to all concerned!! i hope....
understang now,... yo mang!!??

The truth is that is why I root for a guy like Manny. He always wants to make the fights that will make the people happy. If he disappoints the fans, he is not happy himself. I think he will take the 14 days cut-off date and Freddie will do his best to get him ready. Arum is letting his emotions get the best of him way too much for such an important fight. Maybe he is just a grumpy old man. He should let his stepson take over the company and overlook things from a distance or he will have a heart attack right before our very eyes.

I don't care about that fight now...

Clottey vs Manny???
**** make it happen.Clottey would be a tougher nut than Cotto,tighter defense and higher workrate,more speed....
Clottey can counterpunch....Style wise,I see itbeing close,but Manny wins because of his fire power.

Would be a nice win even if *****s will say Clottey was shot cuz he "lost" to Cotto.

i know where you're coming from...and i understand what you mean.
cheers brah!!

i'm with you, brah.
i read it somewhere, last december, that freddie is agreeable to a 5-day window of no blood testing.
it was just hurriedly hashed, presumably by arum, for the sake of negotiating...you don't give your arm ryt away when you nego.
astute arum knows this....he's a grizzled veteran in the "art" of nego.
and of course team manny don't want to give in to the "whims" of floyd.
and so freddie became silent ever since.....
i strongly ]believe, like majority of boxing fans, that manny wants the fyt to happen more than floyd.
we all wait now......

With all due respect, if you think Manny hasn't been in the loop or heard of Mayweather's 14 day offer already, your the dimwit. I understand what I'm ready just fine.

Please explain just why in the hell any promoter would want to 'DUCK' his way out of millions of dollars?


Does that even make sense to you?


What does Bob Arum, or GBP for that matter, have to gain by this fight not getting made?

i agree with u.....promoters dnt care as long the fight goes on becoz of the word "MONEY"....theyre not the one fighting....and these *****s makes no sense accusing Arum like that sheez
