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

[Atreyu Khalil]

HBO needs PAC more than he needs them.

LMAO...which is why since 2005 Floyd Mayweather has sold more PPV than any other fighter????

[Atreyu Khalil]

This is ridiculous Pac-man is taking on a BEAST like Clottey and Mayweather gets Mathew Hatton(give me a break,HBO wouldn't LET Gatti fight Mathew for his last fight beacausethey thought it would be a mismatch for gatti) but now the lb for lb best is being considered along with Paulie(powder punch)Malinaggi,the guy who Cotto gave reconstructive surgery and made faint after the fight and who Hatton knocked BEAT AS BAD AS ANYONE HE'S EVER BEAT!!Mayrunner WOULD NEVER GET IN WITH CLOTTEY he 's a theif in boxing HBO should void both these bums.

please show me a link or quote from ANYONE in team Mayweather that said Hatton was an option?

also....Clottey is such a beast that since 2004 he has as 13 fights and only 1 knock out in those 13 fights!!

[babyl-on]

actually Mayweather has fought 6 of his last 11 opponents outside of Las Vegas.....u fail!!

a bit misleading since those 6 fights OUTSIDE of vegas were consecutive and ran from 03-05. his next 5 (from 06-now) have all been in vegas.

RE: KOs... ok, so clottey isn't a beast. he doesn't have a real good KO %. clottey is a beast for the people he's gone toe-to-toe with and fiercely competed with.

If they're smart, they would go with Pacquiao. Most PPV buyers seek entertainment, rather than a boxing match that's played like chess.

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!

who cares about the numbers......DLH and Floyd hold the numbers record......its not gettin' broke unless Manny fights......you guessed it, FLOYD!!!!.....Manny can fight King Kong and STILL won't come close to that!!......I blame BOTH for this not happening.....but you can do the tale of tape for yourself.....let me help you!!

Floyd: ok Manny since I've been a boxing superstar longer than ya punk ass has and since my PPV's with common victims did more, I should take the lion's share...feel me?!?

Manny: **** you *******!!!....I am a MOVIE star and any kind of star you can name of in my country......I can stop the crime rate better than the ****in' cops......eat a **** chump!!.....its 50-50!!

Floyd: ok dawg.....50-50 it is......but we gonna do this at 154.....ok?

Manny: **** you!!.....we fight at 147 and if you ***** ass even THINK about coming in over the limit it's gonna cost you 10 mill a pound and not that chump ass change you gave Juan......**** that, I'm the King!!

Floyd: ok *****......we fight at 147, but we gonna use 10 oz gloves because my hands are ****ed up.....deal?!?

Manny: kiss my ass coward!!....I'm a puncher, and 10 oz gloves won't make fou feel my power......and my power gives me a very very good chance of beatin' your ass......so hell no!!....8 oz gloves you chump!!

Floyd: ok *****.....8 oz gloves it is!!......but your punk ass will have to take some olmpic style tests.....RANDOMLY, because I think your ***** ass is on HGH!!

Manny: **** that....RANDOMLY?!?......no way dawg, I get to say when muh****as take my blood......plus I'm scared of needles....uh uh, I mean, they make me feel weak, MENTALLY!!

Floyd: but we stop the testing at 14 days so your punk ass mental problem won't affect your performance.....ooh I'm gonna beat ya ass!!

Manny: naw dawg!!.....that won't work!!......I don't trust the dudes doing the tests......they might try to do me dirty!!.....feel me?!?

Floyd: no!!....I don't feel you dawg.......I made a few sacrafices to make this fight happen, but you dancing around this ONE thing......all you need to do is AGREE to ONE thing from my side and it's on!!

Manny: uh...uh....I want prove my innocence by taking you to court!!

Floyd: the best way to prove this is by taking the tests....the courts is gonna throw this bull**** out the window and laugh at your ***** ass!!

Manny: uh...uh.....**** you!!.....my fans out number yours anyway....the fans love me and they hate you....so it won't matter....hey Floyd!!

Floyd: what?!?

Manny: why do you always put yourself in these "NO WIN" situations .....I'm the King Biatch!!!

it's that simple my dudes!!!

I can honestly say I would rather watch Pacquiao vs Clottley than Mayweather vs any of the other two. It would be much much more exciting. Although I do think Mayweather was right all along regarding Pacquiao, I do believe that HBO will go with the Mayweather fight due to the fact he is american but it doesn't matter to me as I can always watch them both on sky

[Vladimir303]

Unless Floyd picks somebody who can actually give him a run for his money, he aint beatig Clottey-Pacquiao.

At least no in the boxing fan's mind. Mayweather-Matthew Hatton isn't gonna get it done. I'm sure the UK will be watching with a curious mind but in the States, I don't think so, if they have a much more intriguing Clottey-Pac matchup to choose from.

[Rickety Cricket]

I hope they do fight on the same night so Pac can steal all the PPV buys.

I would think taxes would be a big reason for him to stay in vegas especially because he was making a lot more money from 2006 - now.

[dom329]

Is there actual documented proof that Floyd uses xylocain(its probably on of many numbing agents). What if he was using something that wasn't banned. If there is actual proof can someone post the link. If not then people are getting at Floyd the same way that everyone is getting at Manny and that's without proof. That would be really funny to me if that was true.
