Comments Thread For: Mayweather, Pacquiao Dueling Fights: HBO Sides With......?

[BadBrains]

could'nt agree more.....if hbo chooses floyd, it should be free...or if its ppv it should be $3.99 at most.....

no, they should pay us to see that fight, not us!

Pacquiao vs Clottey is way better than Mayweather vs Hatton and especially better than a Malignaggi fight. They best fight for Mayweather is to wait a few weeks and fight the wiener of Mosley vs Berto. Mayweather vs Mosley would be awesome.

Manny PPV king

No matter who Manny fights,people will watch it. Floyd need to fight a marquee name to sell PPV. I can't wait to see their PPV results. People wants to watch action fight which Manny always deliver & not a boring fight like Floyd.

If blood testing is institutionalized in international/professional boxing, no doubt Pacquiao will adhere to that. Pac and his team always indicated, whatever is required by the boxing commission or boxing authorities, they will abide. One could argue that boxing is behind as far as doping tests are concerned, i tend to agree with that. However, there should be a centralized body that should oversee the consistency and quality of testing and it should be properly vetted out by experts in sports medicine e.g. whether its a combination of urine and blood thats best for professional boxing. I don't like the knee jerk type that Mayweather is asking just because he has suddenly connected with his inner olympic spirit self.

Definitely, Pacquiao will not adhere to giving in to a Group which is "not a paragon of virtues" - Mayweather Camp that continues to hug the limelight - for all the wrong reasons (run-ins with the law, tax problems, etc) and GBP which has a history of fighters ducking blood tests (and now trying to act like angels . . oh yeah, more like angels of dis-information and dirty tactics). In fairness, Arum and Camp Pacquiao have their own negative points as well, however, what we want to point out e.g. whoever has not sinned/erred, let him cast the first stone? (so although, the idea of asking blood test sounds chivalrous . . but, if you do it at the same time, insinuate by going to various media outlets to claim that Pac is into something . . that smacks pure hypocrisy! which is un-acceptable . . and thats probably why Pacquiao strengthened his position not to give in to these two timers)

Its unfortunate we always get excuses from those of the opposite side - - (a) Pacquiao is fighting washed up fighters . . next (b) Pacquiao the catch weight king . . . when, these two wouldn't fly, even if these people shouted to the ends of the earth . . they, instantly rode on the (c) Pac must be on the roids. WOW, from dismissing Pacquiao's performance as so-so . . to saying, "his hitting guys with a strength of a mule" . . same excuse, Delahoya was making "i thought pacquiao was fast, but he did'nt hit strong . . to suddenly, changing the music to claim that Pac hits like Mosley".

So guys, the majority of the boxing fans and mainstream people will not buy in to your crap (check the various websites and its overwhelming to Pac's favor between 70%-90%). Lets see how the PPV of Mayweather stacks up moving forward (i.e. the only reason people watch him vs the bulk-slow moving Marquez, was a possible preview against Pac) . . bet Mayweather's future numbers will not come close to Pac Monster, thats for sure!

Brilliantly put.

I think everybody will agree with that,*******s and *****s.

Floyd needs to fight Williams or AT LEAST Quintana,Citron on March 13 or jump under a train.

[switchsouthpaw]

this will only look bad for boxing. pac vs clottey and floyd vs ? will both fail to sell 1milliom ppv's.

Manny vs Clottey is good for boxing because it will be an exciting fight to watch. Mayweather vs fringe contenders...well you see where I'm going with this.

i hope chicken floyd will vindicate his name by fighting either pwilliams or martinez... not matthew hatton or girlie paulie.

he wont

floyd will probably not fight anyone ranked in the top five in his division or the division above.

boxing would have its mega fight if for whatever reason pac was not avoiding random blood testing.

at least pac will get into the ring with someone worthy (joshua clottey) but maybe pac should take on an easier opponent as well.

his last three fights have been big events (with hard training camps) pac may need a gimme fight because a fight with clottey is a guranteed hard work for 12 rounds

Mayweather would rather suck pac's *** than fight mosley

In order to pursue and achieve greatness, requires risk over reward and courage over compensation, neither of which Mayweather has shown to have much interest in.

Win or lose, will you still respect Manny for taking the chance and stepping in again with another tough fighter in Clottey? Mayweather will not fight anyone in the top 5 of the welterweight division. He will probably look at the Mosley and Berto fight and if he sees that Mosley has a tough time with Berto but still wins, only then will he accept that fight...and why? Not because he want's to be great and fight the best version of Mosley, but it's because he was waiting to see some cracks in the armor before taking a chance.

This is what Mayweather does, he looks for moments and opportunities that are advantageous to him not losing that coveted "0", not moments that define greatness.

My Prediction for the Hatton vs Mayweather fight....
