Comments Thread For: If Mayweather Walks: A Good Look at Pacquiao's Options

[Mr Reality]

If you interview Manny now, if he wants to fight Floydie, he will simply say "YES"

If you interview Floydie and ask the same question, two things will happen:

1. "Talk to my promoter."
2. He will change the topic or stutter upon hearing the name Pacquaio.

What a ******.

Man up Floyd, sign the freakin' contract. Don't be a *****.

No more $10 million dollar fine (post pone fight stratergy)? Whaaaaa! That is an unprecedented STIPULATION. You guys are freaking hypocitical if you really analyize yourselfs. The only condition is ....>both fighters prove they are clean.

For the ******s or whatever you call yourselves, the only condition is that BOTH prove they are clean. In other words ...> a fair fight. No one is asking for ring, glove or weight advantages chumps.

There are a lot of options for Pacman, but I like him to fight Marquez, because Marquez was talking aloud claiming he was cheated in their last fight.
They should fight at 147lbs.

Somebody wants to see if Manny can finally beat Marquez.....

..... even if it is at 147

Or they could wait a few years ?

In 3 years JMM will be 41, and by then Manny will be at 154 ?

JMM at 41yo, fighting at JMW, 28lbs over his career best weight ?

I got Marquez winning the third fight as well

*jokes*

Mr Reality has a lot of hatred... F**k all that bull****, dude.. We just want these dudes to fight... PERIOD...

[WESS]

What deal? What contract? What are the details?

Pac "agreed" to something but hasn't given details, possibly because of this "gag order". Hell if that's the case Mayweather "agreed" months ago when he technically destroyed Mosley.

We all have been waiting on Pac to sue everyone, come up with a "PLAN B", and make statements that he "agrees" to "everything".... If he truly agreed to everything (less money and unlimited OST) than there is no negotiating and no reason to talk about potential "PLAN B" opponents. End of story.

Sounds to me they never wanted to fight Mayweather. The conditions where clear as day May 1st 2010. Pac has yet to sign anything... I'm tired of waiting on him. Hopefully he actually "AGREED" to everything so this fight will get made. If he did not than he "ducked" and we the fans have to suffer because he wants to fight in a court room.... and "cherry picked" Arum's stable opponents as he's been doing.

you guys are writing cotto off way too soon

1) The "Gag order" is real and was requested by PBF.
2) Both parties not only Pacman but GBP have admitted that all has been agreed to.
3) Pacman's team is looking for a Plan B because last time everything was agreed upon by both parties, along came Floyd with the new drug testing "rule" therefore; being that PBF is unpredictable in negotiations, a plan B will always have to be in consideration.
4) If Pacman did not want to fight him why did he accept a 25 day blood testing cut off, another blood test immediately after the fight and urine drug test everyday before and at the same day of the fight??? That itself is the most stricted drug testing in professional boxing history and PBF didn't accept it.

Once again, purse, place, ring size were all agreed after several negotiations for the 1st fight it was only when they were ready to sign contracts that the drug issue was brought up by PBF.

Hopefully there is no more surprises and now that both GBP and Arum seem to have an agreement PBF finally gives the fans what they want to see.

PBF has always had a excuse to fight other higher risk boxers, whether it was becasue his opponent was the best dollar value or was the champion at the moement (remember Baldomir). Now not only Pacman is the 147 champion, but he is alos the P4P king and more than that represent for PBF the biggets payday of his career and probably of boxing. NO MORE EXCUSES!!!

1 - Gag order requested by Floyd? Link please?

2 - Floyd's team said everything was agreed to? Link Please?

3 - Pac's team is looking for a plan B to put pressure on Floyd. Its part of their deadline strategy.

4 - If Pac wanted to fight him he would have accepted what Mosley accepted, and fought him. They chose to fight a loser instead.

Once again, the OSDT was NOT brought in last minute. We even have video of Roach saying "they wanted olympic style testing and we said yes no problem" except that they NEVER said yes.

Margacheato is a scumbag

Margacheato should not be allowed to fight again, but rather charged with attempt of murder. He could have ruined Cotto's career and I think he did in some way. I'll love to see Gayweather and Paquiao get in the ring with a Pre-Margarito Cotto, but that's something we'll never see, as for Gayweather he has cleverly handpicked his opponents throughout his entire career, or has taken an undetermined layoff from the sport as he did back in 2008 because "he had to retire himself, he could not have Cotto retiring him" as he said to Larry Merchant during the interview right after his fight with Hatton.

Margarito quedate en la miseria de Tijuana peliando en las cantinas con borrachones y taxistas, pillo asqueroso!!!

No hatred son. Just reality.


Two prima donnas wanting to have every advantage over other fighters or they won't fight. It's just getting old. It just happens that Manny is the bigger whinner of the two in my book. He by far the biggest conitional imposer in boxing today.

These guys are the reason why sports fans have turned to MMA, because they want to see fights happen when the fans clamor for them, not when it is in a fighters convinience.
