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

[keepthemhandsup]

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.

so

why didn't he say that **** in the first place?

sometimes he just adores attention to much

I've been a Floyd fan and have defended him, but this is indefensible. Mayweather is a ***** for not making the biggest fight in boxing history.

Wasn't like Cotto was pushing for the fight to happen either.
Floyd was the Champ at 147 and Cotto wasn't. No once did
Cotto call Floyd out. Lets keep it all the way official.

yeah he was the champ and cotto never calls out anyone by name due to respect and he just says he can fight anybody they put in front of him, but the man was i think the (WBA) champ when they were ready to battle for undefeated legitimate welterweights (not a jr like hatton)...cotto came off his win from shane and floyd of from hatton and everything was set rite?

then floyd retires! goes to WWE to fight the "big show"...boxingscene has videos themselves of cotto calling out floyd (and margarito lol)...cotto was actually talking **** about another fighter, which was surprising since he has so much class, but thats what floyd can do...cotto was saying floyd's been doing that his whole career, picking opponents and not fighting the best..and cotto was saying im pretty sure if we fought, i would of beaten floyd..cotto was the real deal at welter in the particular time my dude...

What do you think, does this match Manny Pacquiao's bloodtype?

Floyd Mayweather Jr. was on 2 year vacation. The fight isn't til November n!gga. NO EXCUSES. THIS N!GGA SCARED!!!!! (Bishop a.k.a. TuPac on "Juice")

I have to DJ (Vacation) Saturday night....

Floyd officially DUCKED Pacquiao, his excuse is unnaceptable. If he just said that he can't fight Pacquiao because there is a possibility that Roger Mayweather would be unavailable (due to some legal battles) then boxing fans (some including non Mayweather fans) would respect that. Heck even Pacquiao would be hesitant to fight withoug Roach in his corner.

But giving out a lame excuse that he just fought 60 days ago and etc is plain unnaceptable. Even a objectively minded Mayweather fan (which is RARE) can't digest the excuse.

So stop defending the indefensible, facts are already in. Well at least Floyd got to win the ESPY awards LOL...it gives him some additional boost to his drought ridden ego (well of course Pacquiao has been racking up the awards as of late, its not bad to spread the love :blow: )

So yeah...Roasted DUCK anyone?

[ncpitbull]

The thing that has me pissed, is that this boxing and anything can happen. What if Pac struggles in his next outing, this potential fight with Floyd could lose some luster. I wanted to see them both at their peaks. To bad Floyd does not feel the same way.

[fireman_ek50]

Lol...............

I can't see whats so funny? lol

thats what people do when they're embarrassed...u know, i've seen that dude talk a lot about pac and defend floyd like no other...but its a defense mechanism...something his idol (mayweather ) and yours is a master at lmao

Regardless of all the opinions on this board, the facts are that Pac had his chance to fight Mayweather in March of this year. He turned it down just like Mosley turned Mayweather down in 1999 and in 2006 and Cotto turned down the fight when Mayweather was at 140.

I think its funny that all three of these guys turned fights down with Mayweather, yet none of the clowns on this site call them *******, scared, coward or any of the other ridiculous names you are using for Mayweather now.

Pac turned the first fight down because he let his ego get in the way and he and his promoter ran their damn mouths too much afterwards. They rolled the dice and lost, just like Mosley and Cotto. They should have learned a lesson from Cotto and Mosley. Now, Pac has realized what an idiot he was for turning the fight down, but he no longer has the option of scoring a $40 million payday (at least not this year).They also should have learned that Mayweather has an ego just a big as Pac's and you don't **** on him and then turn around and ask him to do you a favor.

so you're saying it's okay for mayweather to do it? right....

let the world know you don't want to see the fight

I'm not thrilled with the response and really wish Mayweather would have entertained fighting Manny in November, but I respect his freedom to do whatever he pleases. Floyd has made $65 million in his last 2 fights and wants to relax and enjoy it for a bit. Whatever.
