Barrera says no to Pacquiao !

[VPDJ]

MAB just wanted to stay on top right now. If he can fight other boxers rather than fighting Pacquiao, he'll do so. He knew already Pacquiao's capability as a boxer. He will not train and fight hard with those 2 consecutive wins and let Pacquiao ruin it again. Maybe, he'll fight Pacman again next time if he is ready to retire.

Barrera says NO! to Pacquiao

Don't be so gullible people. Barrera's a warrior and he won't back away from anyone, not even from Pac or JMMarquez (wait, sorry he didn't fight him yet all these years)

More bull**** from the Manny nut-lickers!

Relax guys we will find out how true this story is . . . coming from the mouth of Murad I truly doubt this.

This LIAR MURAD might have some other motives . . . since Manny, Nazario and Roach echoed same sentiments of fighting MAB first and let JMM wait, Murad might want to pre-emtied this plan wanting the JMM fight to push through.

I don't know just my wild guess . . . I'm a fan of both Pac and MAB and I just don't believe MAB a true warrior that he is will say no to this very important fight. We will have to wait for other stories to come out for verification. But If indeed this is true, MAB is making a wrong decision. If he doesn't fight Pac again . . . he'll be living in the shadow of Pac forever. It's not Pac's loss it's his.

More bull**** from the Manny nut-lickers!

Hey what's your problem? This story didn't come from Manny nut-lickers . . . IS THAT ALL YOU CAN SAY?

Don't make it personal against Manny's fans.

Barrera Scared To Pacquiao

[jack_the_rippuh]

He pulled a Winky Wright move, get a big win after getting totally dominated by a guy and say he's "no longer interested"...To me it's all bull****, they just can't take suffering another loss after regaining a little bit of confidence..

pacquiao to my knowledge has two signed fights coming up, so i dont know why hed be calling out barrera right now, probably just reminding everyone that he whooped his ass to rain in on barreras parade.

wtf, i hope this is another false pretenses by Murrad . .

on the other hand this might be true since DLH knows the risk of figthing PAC and winning against MAB means the could be the end of MAB's colorfull career . . needless to say bad for DLH new company/promotions (****!). .

so for now . . it was like they were saying "fight larios instead while we have good reason to celebrate . . "

i hope the fight of these great warriors can push through . .

damn it!

I don't think MAB, himself, is refusing a rematch. He had never refused one! Morales, Jones... He's made of sterner stuff than what the report makes him out to be.

If any semblance of truth could be attached to the report, then, I'm going to look in the direction of:

1. The report that Murad said it, may be true but Murad is making the refusal bit up from whole cloth. It wont be his first time. Intention this time: He likes to get on MAB's case so MAB becomes so agitated, he can't wait to face Manny.

2. The handlers of MAB are the ones refusing a clash before Manny meets JMM. The statement reportedly coming from MAB's camp is that they are "not interested"; they didn't rule the possibility out completely. Their interest could easily perk up if they see something they like in the future.

3. I'm looking at the line about Larios as an attempt at a put-down; though, I think, a clumsy one at best. If Manny and his crew, however, picks it, Golden Boy will be the winner: Larios is in their stable and a shot at Manny is a shot at Manny.Golden Boy will be promoting that so, it will get a bonus. So, while it is a clumsy put down, it still is loaded. Cute... As for Murad, look for him to make extravagant statements in favor of Larios; he wants that fight too! He's looking to co-promote it with Golden Boy (I won't be surprised that there already exists tacit agreement in that direction between Murad and GB)! Murad couldn't give a hoot who Manny faces; he'll always get his share of the loot! He doesn't care what type of match-ups fans are begging for!

I remember that MAB-Morales III was held up so long that it appeared for a while that it would never happen, especially given that Erik was seeking to move up to Lightweight. But it did happen. The contracts and final other agreements were concurred to a mere 2 months or so prior to the staging of the fight. And even on fight night, there was a threat of it not going through at all (the issue of the gloves?)!

So, I'm not at all dispirited. I remain convinced that--at the farthest time-horizon, 1 year and a half-- MAB-Pac II will be made, granting that both stay "interesting" in the eyes of the public, i.e., they keep winning between now and then.

...with or without a Murad.
