COTTO gunning for PACQUIAO, MARGARITO gunning for PACQUIAO, JUAN MANUAL MARQUEZ gunning for PACQUIAO, BRADLEY gunning for PACQUIAO, and PAUL WILLIAMS. These are all MEN who don't stop striving. If FLOYD wasn't a ***** he would have accepted the PAC fight.
I rarely post here. Mostly because it pains me to read 90% of the moronic comments, and partly because I usually forget my log-in information.
It's sick how many people here claim to be boxing fans. A true boxing fan see's this for what it is. This fight won't happen because of two guys with massive ego's. Floyd isn't afraid to fight Pacquiao. He is a grown man that has made a living of stepping in the ring and getting punched by other men. Does he want to lose? Of course not. That doesn't mean that he is going to avoid fighters to stay unbeaten.
Pacquiao isn't on steroids. The presumption of guilt on this website is staggering. If anybody in here were accused of committing a crime with no proof, they would be bitching and moaning to no end. I have yet to see ONE person prove, with an archived post, that they believed Pacquiao was on steroids prior to Mayweather making that claim. Yet, now there are hundred's of PED experts on this site. Amazing.
People are also foolish if they think that Arum doesn't want Pacquiao to fight Mayweather. Honestly, it makes me laugh to think that some loser, sitting in his mom's basement, thinks he knows more about promoting a fight and making money than a man who has been DEEP in the business for 40 years. Arum knows how much money a fight with PBF will make. He also knows that there will be a re-match clause. This would be a competitive fight (despite what some of the so-called experts here would have you believe), and the re-match would make just as much money as the first fight. Two Mayweather-Pacquiao fights would earn Arum more money than 3 or 4 Pacquiao v whomever fights. Also, this notion of Arum losing his "cash cow" is so utterly ridiculous. Pacquiao is 32, and nearing the end of his career. He likely has 3-5 fights left at the most. He is a household name, and he will make money regardless of the outcome. This "cash cow" argument could be applied to someone up and coming like Tim Bradley. Guys like Mayweather and Pacquiao aren't going to stop producing money as a result of a loss to the other best fighter in the game. I just saw a show that ACTUALLY did some research. In the last year, between fights and endorsements, Pacquiao made $46 million. Mayweather made $62 million. So please just shut up about how little or much these guys make, and how much they deserve in a fight. They are the two biggest names in the sport. Equally.
I'm tired of people on either side making up ****** ish to slander the other guy. I'm a huge Pacquiao fan, and I'm pissed that this fight isn't happening. I blame both fighters, and I think it's a joke that Pac is going to fight Cotto again.
This fight needs to happen, and if it doesn't then both Pacquiao and Mayweather are equally to blame.

Idiot. If Pac wasn't a ***** we would have had the fight already. As far as Pac accepting is BS. Has Pac signed anything? Didn't Pac's team
agree on OST then to later reject it when it was time to sign. If anyone has been been a bitching and flip floping is Pac. Didn't Arum say that negotiations would be private? Why hasn't Arum been specific what the offer was? Please man stop being a ****ing cheerleader.

100000000000000000% AGREE WIT U BRO U R A TRUE BOXING FAN
Floyd is a boss. Why would he need to say anything? It's like a hot girl who walks down the street and guys whistle at her. Is she going to respond to every one of them?
Arum was not negotiating with ANYBODY. It was not a negotiation. In fact, it SEEMS like he communicated to Greenburg the same "manny would do 14 day testing" that we all read.
The article/transcript clearly said that Greenburg didn't bring any messages back to Arum.
Bob fooled all of you peasants. He is now admitting that he was operating off assumptions and media reports.
For example, he is claiming that he assumed "negotiations" were going well based on what Oscar said...BUT SCHAEFER REFUTED AND RETRACTED WHAT OSCAR SAID IMMEDIATELY. And Oscar said he had been misquoted.
There was never any negotiation.
You may say that the *****s are making excuses. In reality, the peasants were lied to and need to hold Arum accountable.
Of course, the negotiations were minimal!! All the major terms were agreed upon for last March except for the 14 day blood test. Golden Boy already did their job! I'm sure the only reason Ross Greenberg was brought in was for HBO to try to give extra money to Mayweather (eg. a 52/50 type of "split") and I'm sure Greenberg said "sorry Floyd, take it or leave it".
MAKE NO MISTAKE, FLOYD CHICKENED OUT OF THE FIGHT!! And he cannot speak to the media because now he looks like a PUNK!! He now knows he is the one keeping this fight from happening. He is the one that is WALKING AWAY FROM A 40+ MILLION DOLLAR PAYDAY!!! He is the one that looks scared!! MAKE NO MISTAKE....THAT IS WHY HE IS HIDING!! He is now everything he was previously condemning!! EVERYONE knows Roger is going to jail for years!!! SO ONLY FLOYD CAN MAKE THE DECISION TO MAKE THE FIGHT HAPPEN!! APPARENTLY, FLOYD DOESN'T BELIEVE IN HIS DAD'S ABILITIES AS A TRAINER TO STEP IN FOR ROGER.
