Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Continues To Pressure Mayweather To Fight

[Sugar Q]

Its amusing to me that something as ludicrous as taxing 10mil per pound over 147 against Mayweather was accepted by May, but one simple demand of a blood test 14 days before the fight was blown up and was the reason we didn't get this fight last month.

And Pacquiao wants the same money after what kind of numbers he did with Clottey when compared to what May did with Mosley? LMAO

Call your stock broker and try to get that stock that just went up 300% over the last 3 months and try to get it at February's price and see what he says.

If Pacquiao wanted this fight it should have been made when he was able to tax 10mil per pound, and get 50% of the purse.

That deal's gone. No 10 mil per pound, and Manny gets 40% tops, and blood testing 10 days before the fight if I'm Floyd.

Sorry Manny, I loved you but Bob Arum has destroyed your reputation outside of ******* land and neutral fans such as myself are disgusted with your shady tactics.

Yo Los I love the stockbroker analogy. That was a perfect analogy. :-)

Do you really think that's just down to Mayweather? No way! Look at the Marquez fight....nowhere near as many PPV buys. You'd have thought all Floyd's fans would want to see him fight after going AWOL for so long after the Hatton fight, but no that wasn't the case. The last fight did so well because Mosley has a huge fanbase too which people seem to forget and just think it's all due to Floyd when it isn't.

If its gonna be a fair fight then everything should be even, the drug testing and the purse.

OK!!! when manny pac faught Marquez it did 400k ppv buys!!! when floyd mayweather fought marquez it sold 1 MILLION PPV BUYS!!! GET IT!!! And mosley has never been considered much of a big draw even JIM LAMPLY said that...but even at that floyd picked the tougher fight in mosley!!! while manny pac took the coward route to fight clotty!!! everyone knew that clotty was a safe fight for manny pac!!!!

even though cotto beat mosley!!! mosley got better and cotto got worse after that fight!!! mosley KOed margarito who beat down cotto!!! so dont try that one!!!! mosley was cosidered the top #1 wealter weight when floyd faught him!!!! bottom line floyd sells more than manny pac he should get the bigger half!!!! the numbers dont lie!!!! you think just cuz manny pac is a filipino he should get 50-50!!!! if manny pac was bringing in the same amount of PPV buys then he deserves 50-50

The fact is Floyd's stock went way up after his fight with Mosley. Floyd earned the respect of many fans who don't like him, and earned a lot of new fans with his stellar performance.

Manny fighting Clottey did NOTHING for his career. I'm sure many *******s enjoyed watching their man, but to the rest of the boxing world, nobody cared and to anybody who doesn't really care for Manny still doesn't.

Manny's fight did nothing for his career.

Floyd's fight earned him a lot of respect and is a big plus to his career.

These are facts.

Making weight is a common thing in boxing while USDA style drug testing is unpresedented. Even if pac only submits to partial tests he's still doing a 100times more testing for a fight then 98% of all the boxers who have ever stepped foot in a boxing ring. You forget that boxing has got on for more than a century before Floyd decided to make up rules for his fight.

And Pacquaio has decided to make up his own weight penalties and weight divisions. I just don't understand why its OK for Pac to make up his own weight penalty rules and not OK for Mayweather to make up his own drug testing rules. True, Mayweather never asked for USADA testing in his previous fights. But, Pac has never requested such an unprecedented weight penalty in any of his previous fights, and Pac has fought a couple fights, de la Hoya and Cotto especially, where there was real concerns as to whether either of those guys could make the contract weight. So why is Mayweather a coward or a ducker for asking Pac to do something he's never asked, but Pac is justified is doing the same?

So basically, *****s will excuse Gayweather if he decides to jeopardize this fight with Manny due to the 50/50 purse. So it wasn't okay for Manny to turn down the fight due to the blood test, but it'll be okay for Gayweather to turn it down this time around because of the 50/50 split. Got it. Pretty ****ing pathetic IMO. So why not just use any excuse for ****s sakes. Something like he won't fight Manny unless he's coming from the Philippines the day that their fighting and Manny has to come in the ring at the exact time that Floyd ask him to. Or how about he won't fight Manny unless he shaves that silly looking mustache and get rid of his tatoos as well.

The real question is why don't you and others want Manny to submit to unrestricted random OST?

Honestly, I could give a **** about some test. If Manny taking unrestricted test means the fight happens, then I'm ok with it. But if he doesn't want to fold to those demands, I don't blame him. Just like I don't take anything away from all the other great boxers who fought without OST. If Manny was caught before with steroids like Shane was, I'd be 100% in favor of Floyd.

Remember, if it wasn't for the OST, this fight would have happened. Big fights like Tyson vs Lewis and Floyd vs Oscar had no problems with the standard drug testing. And those were the biggest fights at the time as well.

It sickens me that as fans, we care so much about things like money splits and who sells more. Do we see any of the split? How much revenue do the fans get? What do we get out of all this? The fans lose by KO if this fight doesn't happen. Which puzzles me because it seems as some Floyd fans don't want the fight to happen. The whole point of negotiating is to get the fight done, not find ways to make it harder.

Blood Tests are taken after the fight anyways...

This request for blood tested is all BULL****. Both fighters said they would with draw blood immediately after the fight anyway .. which mean the win would be revoked if resulted positive. Now we know Floyd is just playing mind games. Can't step up like a real fighter and fight.

Floyd mayweather make it happen and get your @$$ in the ring you can beat manny pacquiao what you scared of!?

You're forgetting that the first time around, Pac had reasons for deserving a 50/50 split. Mayweather had outdrawn him with common opponents, but Pac had had the better recent PPV event. But now, in comparing their two respective fights since Money's comeback, Money's outdrawn him by 500K buys. Combine that with the 2:1 clip that he's outdrawn Pac with common opponents, and nothing justifies Pac getting an even split, whether we like it or not.
