Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Continues To Pressure Mayweather To Fight

[GRUSTLER]

Pacquiao's back peddling to agree to Mayweather earlier request on drug testing leaves no doubt whom was guilty of destroying the proposed March bout. If Pac and his team felt so strongly back in January about not accepting Floyd's USADA blood testing request, why all of a sudden do they have a change of heart? Manny's no longer afraid of needles, or yet, being energy zapped from the tests??? Something smells like rotten fish here. If I'm Floyd I'll tread carefully with these ***S.

You have a point there. If Manny is so adament about needles and
being drained by giving blood, then why would he agree now? All
in all, am tired of this and choose not to burn any brain cells about
it anymore.

I just don't understand why the Pacquaio camp keeps trying to hammer home the point that they have "agreed to Mayweather's demands", because that's just not accurate. Mayweather has been clear on his stance that no cutoffs would be accepted for months now. This is getting old and ridiculous. IMO, Team Pacquaio is out here beating the pavement trying to get everyone on their side and make it look like Mayweather's the one that's attempting not to make the fight happen. In reality, "agreeing" to something that you know isn't gonna be accepted and making it take it or leave it is every bit of attempting not to make the fight happen as anything else.

I've been saying that, but i guess there's just too many *******s there's never enough time to explain this to them individually. so i'm just gonna stop. for now. and do some work.

NOW manny pac agrees to a 14 day cut off!!! now that he sees mayweather can still out sell manny pac in PPV numbers!!!! mayweather sells more PPV buys than manny pac!!!! and that is a fact!!! both fighters decided to go different ways the only difference is mayweather still sells over a million ppv buys and manny pac dont!!! mayweather out sold manny pac is PPV numbers big time!!!

so why should mayweather give a 50-50 split if mayweather is the one who sells more PPV buys!!!! he should get the bigger share!!!! were talking millions of dollars here!!! its not chump change!!! 60-40 split in favar of mayweather the proof is in the numbers!!! 2.5 million PPV buys in 1 fight!!! beat that then talk 50-50!!!!

agree 100 %, Mosley should pressure Pacman too to fight him. If he agrees to fight Clottey after beaten by Cotto, there's no reason not to fight Mosley after beaten by Floyd.
Mosley's knocking counterpunch is perfect match for Pacman.

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.

Al haymon mayweather's adviser is the one that wanted the OST. Floyd said after the first negotiations fell through that he is not fighting with a cutoff date and if the mosley fight did better than pac's he is requesting a bigger split. After the mosley fight he said he would not fight with a cutoff date. Roger said last night that floyd will not fight without OST. Tried to compromise in the first negotiations, accepted EVERY demand that pac had and even compromised on 1 of his 2 demands. After the negotiations fell through, the media hit job started. Mayweather is scared, he doesnt want the fight, he is trying to protect his 0, he will never face shane, he is scared of shane, shane will knock him out. Thats all you hear until he announces that he has signed to fight shane then you hear shane is old, he is over the hill. Then after the fight shane tired out after 5 mins of fighting, margarito was his last good fight, he was blood drained, he was paid to throw the fight. Then a reporter reports that pacquiao agrees to the old offer of 14 days we hear mayweather is scared, pacquiao is doing it for the fans, 14 days is good enough(even though they thought it was unfair the first time), then arum says that pac didnt say that we go back to 14 days not being fair anymore. Then pacquiao releases a statement that he has accepted 14 days we go right back to 14 days being good enough again. Some people have even already started coming up about excuses for if pac loses he is too small, he is a part time boxer now,the testing disrupted his training, I've even heard that if he doesnt fight pacquiao before the end of 2010 pacquiao will be over the hill even though pac is younger than mayweather.

I wrote that to say no matter what floyd does he is gone get chewed out for it. So I hope he maximizes his profits, he tried to make a fight for his legacy but it got hung up over a that is scared of needles. I already have studied this fight and I see a fight that bout as bad as the marquez fight. If you disagree hit me with some facts and analysis so we can get this debate going. And please no dumb because he is FOTD or FOTY.

My thing is. How can Mayweather say anything when he is on
vacation with his family? Floyd and his camp made it clear that
he wasn't going to talk about anything yet I wish Arum, Manny
and Roach would wait for Floyd to get into his business mode
and just stop making comments everyday about Mayweather.
How can Mayweather be scared or don't want to fight Manny
when the test Manny is agreeing to now was there back in March?
All Pac had to do was agree then. Don't see how anyone could
even question Floyd on this like it is his fault. Arum, Manny and
Roach are using smoke and mirrors to deceive the fight fans.
Just some months ago Manny filed a lawsuit against Floyd,
said he don't need Floyd and fought Clottey? Now they are
eyeing Margarito and Cotto? How serious are they about
making this fight happening by doing and saying all of this
BULL****? It just looks like to me that Arum and
Manny don't want to make the fight and don't want to
get the blame again if it doesn't happen again. I thought
it was clear from both sides that there would be no negotiations
through and in the media but Pac's team keeps doing it over and over!
Please rid us of these articles and interviews that are going
nowhere.

Imo, Mayweather should just retire. They aren't gonna fight so every1 should just forget about it.
