"I don't understand it. I mean, in the old days this fight would have been made in a matter of minutes," Silver said. "The managers would have grabbed the fighters by the scruff of the neck and said, 'Are you out of your mind? Sign the contract!' But this is one fight that [Mayweather] is not sure he can win so I guess he has doubts. Maybe it's not worth it to him."

the examiner site, is pro-pac. read every floyd related title. then in the column next to it count how many floyd related articles. they don't talk about nothing else. let's assume that floyd is scared and the fight doesn't get made. get on with your life. floyd said in 24/7. don't worry about my life, i'm good. and just remember this, wasn't pacquiao the one saying he don't need floyd and this'n'that bs. floyd is jealous of my success!? now the kid wants to jump through hoops to make this fight. them pinoy know pac will get his bighead boxed off, but he gone split his $50+ million with all them losers...

But, Mike Silver is not a article writer per say. He is actually a historian. Now I disagree with him a lot. And, by a lot I mean I barely agree with anything that comes out of his mouth. However, he knows a lot about the sport. He will forget more about the sport that you and me put together could ever learn about the sport.

You do not have box ever to know about the sport.

How can you know about boxing when you've never laced up a glove a day in your life? Oh, c'mon man! He ain't know nothing about the sport of boxing.

Signed,
Floyd Mayweather, Jr

Very true and also seems anti-Floyd. However, those were quotes from Mike Silver, who has nothing to do with The Examiner.

Yea cuz Ricardo Mayorga would know more about the sport then Bert Sugar.

Because, Mayorga laced them up. It just ******ed IMO to say something like that.

I mean Roy said Pac is number 3 or 4 ATG. I mean that must hold some water because Roy said it he knows what he is talking about.... But, come on lets be real something is off with that statement. Just cuz you fight or even a great fighter doesn't mean you know **** about the sport.

Floyd needs 1 year or 2 to think if he really has to fight Pac or not. Not so sure thoug if his fans beleive their idol is a liar and does not really mean that he will extend his vacation for a year or 2.

found out he is the author of a certain book, so my questions are irrelevant and my arguments are void.

There you go. This is just a tip of the iceberg. There will be an avalanche of boxing history books all blaming Floyd for the delay of this fight. If it doesn't get made, he and his supporters will look like they want none of Pac. They started out by accusing a man with no history of using peds. After 40 fights Floyd didn't even think of demanding OST on any of his opponents. Wtf do you think does that mean? Even now they can't seem to give up this ****** idea that to level the playing field Pac has to be weakened. It's embarrassing. Why would you want to see a fight where one fighter would likely have an excuse if he loses? Why not forget about the whole goddamn thing and fight like a man? It's all concocted and manufactured, anyway. Who in the world would believe accusations without proof? Only jealous and hateful people. That says more about them than Pac.

Floyd figures he's bigger, quicker, and smarter than Pac. So no, he's not ducking him.

And of course Pac's not afraid to fight Floyd.

It's just that drug testing **** got out of control. Floyd was just trying to **** with Pac's head and then it became about egos, saving face, etc.
