Comments Thread For: If Everything is Settled, Blame Mayweather For Fight Bust

[spoonwars]

Hey, ****** Floyd can fight Amir Khan in the UK right now for an easy 30M. Floyd has proven to everyone he can still make millions for fighting other guys not named Manny Pacquiao.

Easy 40M against SSM who has a small fan base and is not a draw in the sport. Floyd would've made over 50M if the fight sold over 2M.

Easy 30+M against JMM.

Who can Manny fight and do numbers like Floyd?

Manny fought Cotto and made less than 10M after Arum took his cut.

did you just call floyd a ******? omg!

Why do you *******s act like they really wanna see Pac fight Floyd? Pac is no way on the level of floyd mayweather. He's too damn small, no defense, no boxing ability. Just speed and power (and we don't even know where the power comes from). Zab Judah proved speed won't work (and he was a southpaw). And Mosley proved power won't work. So what does Pac have to offer? Which is why I don't care if the fight happens or not cause I know after floyd dominates him *******s and the media and all the floyd haters will make every excuse in the book. Anyways I got too much going on in my life to worry about whether two men fight or not. Just being real.

Another ***** scared of Mayweather losing that "0". Why would such and easy fight be so difficult for Gayweather to sign? Forget the blood tests if it's as easy as you say. Clearly Floyd isn't as confident in his abilities as you are...or maybe you just know more about Floyd than he does...

wait wait hold up....its very clear that mayweather aint got time for pacquiaos ****...he arum and freddie roach are all very bad business men is what it comes down to. Mayweather wanted the fight to happen.....all lines on the contract were agreed upon EXCEPT for drug testing. So they bailed. So Mayweather said ok....i will fight the guy that practically won in 2 fights (Marquez, the guy that gave pacquiao the toughest challenge and some what of a beating) or ill just fight the guy hes wants no part of and is the welterweight champion (Shane Mosely). He fought Marquez to set up a fight with Pacquiao. The fight didnt happen so he fought the guy that appear in a lot of peoples mind to ultimatley BEAT Pacquiao. Then all of a sudden all eyes are on Mayweather and NOW Pacquiao wants to take drug tests and ****. You know why they want to fight so bad now? BECAUSE THEY LOOK ******! Either way...the fight will ultimately happen..in the mean time Pacquiao can fight the guys that have their confidence destroy by a previous oppenent like Mayweather or Mosely. Because Mayweather or Mosely destroyed those oppents when they were on top of their game.

Floyd aint going to give in to this media pressure. He wants to be the shot called.

I imagine he'll say he's retired or taking a break, then come out of nowhere in November and call Pac out for a March fight. That's the way his ****** ego works.

What the HELL is FLOYDS angle taking so long to make a decision.

Quit contemplating FLOYD, say YES or NO already. If he was another boxer, COTTO would have said YES already, PAUL WILLIAMS would have said YES already, MARQUEZ would have said YES, and BRADLEY.. at lease these dudes know what they want.

[Easy-E]

Blah blah blah blame Floyd.
Blah blah blah blame Manny.

Are people still doing this?
Why do people keep feeding into this nonsense?

I'm not going to blame anybody yet. I just wonder why Floyd's been so quiet, and if he does decide to pass on 50/50, why? The deal just seems right to me. The drug testing was his idea afterall, so Manny adjusting to it shouldn't be a problem.

[Carpe Diem]

Did Arum released any details on what they agreed on? And what's with Richard Schaefer? All we're hearing are Arum's gospel words..Two times is a charm, i guess.

Adjusting shouldnt need a 14 day cutoff, 50/50 is whatever to me, but the 14 day cutoff, it was a major compromise before, this time its pointless to agree to a major reach from the first round of negotiations.

Pac and his team agreeing to the deal from january is just terrible buisness sense unless you have no intention of agreeing and just wish to shift blame to mayweather saying "well we agreed!"

Come on people. Whether he signs or not, he's going to take up til the last day. That's what he does ALL THE TIME. Yet Lyle and you guys act like you have never seen it before. Personally, I think it's about control. He wants to show that he's always in control. They said mid-July. Let's wait until the end of the week and see what happens. No need for articles yet Lyle.
