Comments Thread For: Mayweather Talks: Not Interested in Pacquiao Right Now

[hitking]

Don't know where people have been the last couple years, but Mayweather hasn't "expressed interest" in fighting anyone since de la Hoya. The Ring magazine published a cover story about how Mayweather was "ducking" Hatton by moving up to welterweight to fight Judah. Mayweather made an ass of himself by arguing with Brian Kenny as to why he wouldn't fight Mosley because he wasn't an attraction. And as we all know that Money eventually fought both Hatton and Mosley, and the fights were much bigger events than they would have been if he had fought them when the boxing public was demanding he he fight them. Money's PPV success is in part because of his ability to sell a fight, but IMO, a larger part of his PPV success is because he has a knack for fighting fights when they're as big as they could possibliy be. The Mayweather-Pacquaio promotion will be no different. Just the rest of Mayweather recent PPV hits, he'll do this promotion when the timing is perfect to maximize revenue.

Floyd is a coward. All of ya idiots that still wanna make excuses 4 him are morons.

[gwildcat77]

Floyd is wack!

Number ducker in boxing history => floyd mayweather jr.

[thatnickuh]

Man I hate to say it but if Floyd dosent fight manny in nov I dont wanna see him fight ever. He should just retire, his doing much damage to the sport. Real disappointed in Floyd.

If this is how you really feel, then don't watch him fight anymore. Go ahead and cheat yourself because of petty emotion.

So we still blaming Bob I see...

Floyd didn't ant the fight right now, simple. No hate, he's not scared, he didn't want to fight in November...

Stop blaming Arum now.

Because to Floyd sympathizers, Arum already knew Floyd was taking a lay off and he did this to make Floyd look bad. It's Arum's fault the fight fell through.

According to his fans, Floyd's giant ego is a handicap that makes him unaccountable.

After weeks of silence, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has finally given a statement on why he refused to approve a proposal for a Manny Pacquiao fight. Mayweather received a proposal a few weeks ago to fight Pacquiao on November 13. He allowed a July 16 deadline to pass without a response. Pacquiao's promoter, Top Rank, is now lining up either Antonio Margarito or Miguel Cotto to face Pacquiao on the November date.

Something just doesn't seem right with this whole situation. After the negotiation deadline ended Arum didn't trash Floyd, and he stated that he only spoke with Greenburg and not Mayweathers people. Then Mayweather comes out with this ****. Something appears to be going on behind the scenes here.

Ha Ha good job Floyd. Why stress with somebody not worth it. Pacman is nothing compared to Floyd and of course we all want to see the fight but to him Pacman is just another fighter. Beat him when you feel like Floyd :-)

You're just as fuccked in the head as Floyd. Floyd is pathetic, if it wasn't for the fans he would be broke and yet he does nothing to give back to them, and when he does fight it is almost always a boring 12 rounds. Not only did all the ATG's fight the best when they could but they did so in exciting fashion.

Wow Floyd! That was a big let down. He could of said that weeks
ago and it would have been whatever and no one would have cared
to debate. Arum and Pac did try to make the fight happen and
Floyd was playing reindeer games. No excuses man..... that ****
was weak as hell. I respect your skills Floyd but keep it 100 with
the people that's riding for you. I wanted to see Pac/Floyd this
year for sure. Oh well..... I tell you one thing..... ain't trying to
waste no time or energy on what Floyd is going to do in the sport
of boxing anymore. Can't knock the man for wanting to be with
his family but give us the heads up next time.

at least Floyd got balls to speak the truth. now, everybody can move on and should respect Floyd's decision to enjoy lyfe with his family. hehehe...

Well that's it then. There you have it, the P4P king ESPY award winner has spoken. He fought two times in 10 months. That's okay for an elite fighter. Although I would have liked for him to fight Pacquiao on November 13th, it didn't happen. But he never ruled out a 2011 fight with Pacquiao and he didn't even say anything about never coming back.

So let's all kick back and talk about Pacquiao's next fight, Williams, Berto, Cotto, Gamboa vs Rojas, Alexander vs Kotelnik, Dawson vs Pascal, Abraham vs Froch, Dirrell vs Ward etc etc.

Lots of good fights coming up.

It could happen,look how many wrestlers died from Roids?

Bro, cut the ****!

Most of those wrestlers were on roids, true, but they died from many combonations of things...The number 1 cause would be drug use! Hard drug use.

Coke, Heroin, and lord knows what else, etc...Not to mention it is a hard life style all together! They are on the road, with little sleep 3 to 4 years at a time...That can't be good on the human condition. They have to fake an injury just to get 6 months off vacation.

Do try and talk so slick all the time.
