Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao: "Floyd Mayweather Jr. Needs Me"

[tredh]

There are a lot of factors at play with this article. I mean I read on different websites that Manny was going to agree to EVERYTHING PBF wanted just to call his bluff. Now if what Manny is saying is true as a big PBF fan I have call it like it is and say this is a b!tch and ****ed up move by PBF. If all you wanted was met and still no fight damn!!!

But the realest in me also sense the bull**** with that statement also. Just like everybody screaming on PBF for being silent. Why would Manny wait until the Margarito fight is signed sealed and delivered before he goes to the media and says he agreed to testing all the way up to the fight with no cut off date?

I mean even die hard Manny fans have see that as strange. I mean Manny has had plenty of interviews where he could have said that he agreed to all of PBF demands. Add on to that Arum was always evasive when it came to what exactly they had agreed to. **** is just weird and crazy.

We as fans need to see the REAL OFFICIAL CONTRACT that Arum submitted and PBF RECJECTED to settle this with no doubts!!!!

Will Larry Merchant after the fight ask Manny does he agree to no cut off testing all the way to the fight? If Manny says yes and the fight still not made PBF you ****ed up!!!!!

*****s are funny people. When they say Manny is using peds, you gotta believe it. When people say negotiations took place, they won't believe it, even when a HBO top exec confirms it. You still gotta provide proof. Haha... This ***** is asking for proof that Pac agreed to all of Floyd's testing rules. This clown can't believe it. Now this PPV talk is being resurrected again. Man, these are notboxing fans. These belong in a cult. I've never seen such fans defending roadblocks unprecedented inboxing history. I guess they're happy winning arguments in forums than actually see the fight.

All this is true thats why they are a lame bunch. They just believe what they want to believe abd never look at the facts.

If there were no negotiations who did Manny agree with? If Manny really did agree to unrestricted random testing why are they just coming out with it conveniently while promoting the Cheato fight? Wouldn't Manny or big ass mouth Freddie been come out and said they agreed to testing? This is total BS!!!!!

greenburg debunked the lying mayweather camp...there was nego with al haymond.
manny's camp were just mum, but arum stated then that manny already agreed to floyd's demands just to make the fyt.
it seems now that he meant ost up to the last day....

Well i see it 50-50 as far as who is being criticized by the media. Im just curious to know why didn't Pacquiao agree to 14 days in January and 8 months later 3 months after Mayweather made between 30-40million fighting Mosley he agreed to testing anytime, anyplace, anywhere. LMAO If that last part was true, (and i highly doubt it) why is this the 1st time we're hearing this.

All through these "so-called" negotiations Arum's tuned changed too often for me to believe that they were seriously going to fight Floyd in november. At first everything seemed to be going fine and dandy. Then day by day, i hear little hints in his vocabulary that gives me the impression that if discussions took place, I believe it was more about the parameters of a potential fight. Not necessarily a fight on Nov. 13th 2010.

Remember after everything was rolling along and they had there contracts signed and they sent them to team Mayweather. It wasn't until after it was obvious Mayweather's team was ignoring them, then you hear how they actually never spoke directly to anybody from Mayweather's team. How Arum seem to give mayweather the excuse on how his uncle's legal issue might be a problem and therefore Mayweather might wait to render a decision. Let's not forget that like always, (or at least when its a pac/mayweather negotiation) he always has a replacement lined up just incase mayweather does want to bow down to a guy that makes on average 15mil less than him.

This is about one thing only and its called LEVERAGE. Back in January, Mayweather was under criticism and a lot of scrutiny for his recent list of opponents before Mosley. So mayweather understood that he didn't have much leverage in January, that's why he agreed to everything they wanted back then. Now all of a sudden since Mayweather beat Mosley, Pacquiao or somebody from his camp can't stop mentioning Mayweather's name. Pacquiao looked at his measly paycheck and saw a fighter that (he feels) he's better than make 4 times as much as he did must've rubbed him the wrong way.

As long as Team pacquiao continue to pretend that there in the drivers seat then i don't see this fight ever getting done. They knew all along they were fighting Margarito in November, this bull**** of charades is just a cover up so fight fans won't do to Pacquiao what some have done to floyd, criticize him for fighting a guy that he shouldn't be. We much rather see cotto vs margarito 2, than pacquiao vs margarito. This is all about lining Pacquiao up with a guy thats custom made for his style, for him to beat up, look good doing so, and have the pac tards amped to say ****** **** like "well he beat margarito and mayweather didn't wanna fight neither one of them, blah blah blah. . The problem is is that now the list of Pacquiao's opponents are gonna run thin, if they dont step up his level of competition too. So once Arum milks pacquiao for fighting everybody in his stable in or around 145lb (Pac-weight) limit. Then he will feed Pacquiao to the wolves to get his ass handed to him.

blah..blah...blah....
floyd's mouthpiece.
how come your idol doesn't say a thing until now??
why is floyd so silent until now??
because he can't say anything...all his bluffs were called by pac!!

My point exactly!!!!!!. That statement alone gives off the impression that your agreeing to OST up until fight night. That trumps all of mayweather's so called excuses alone. If that statement was true, Bob Arum would of put mayweather on blast the 1minute the clock struck 12:01am on there deadline. The last i heard from Pacquiao's mouth he was saying that he would agree to random testing 14 days before the fight. This was back in late may or early june. This entire time, while your watching team mayweather supposedly lie about negotiations ever taking place, your sitting on that trump card. STOP LYING GUYS. However im happy this is on record because if this fight can be made, then RANDOM drug testing will be no problem.

the ball is in floyd's hands.
he isn't answering manny's call.
dwell, speculate on floyd's reasons why he is silent, not accepting to fyt manny......not on pac and roach "sitting on that trump card".
floyd is holding the joker card.
he's a big joke now in the boxing world!!

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

He didnt agree to full OST'S. pERIOD.

[Ray*]

They dont need each other which is sad, Unless this fight is under full OSDT the fight isnt going to happen. Then we would have the money split problem, **** both fighters.

[BaDaBiNgVIP]

i used to be a huge fan of freddy the joke coach roach and manny p. but now i think they have bought into all their success.. i mean roach used to be a very humble trainer and giving every fighter he faced or just commenting on other fighter in general with kind words. Now it seems with all his fame and success, he has started to pop at the mouth alot about everyone. I think these two bought into their own hype and sooner then later their going to get a reality check.

[Frank Ducketts]

Floyd is going to knock PAc out when they fight...watch lol...

[V.WEBB]

pac gave into all of floyd's demands, even random blood testing up to the day of the fight according to ESPN. floyd's the one who pussied out. team mayweather is so scared they won't even admit there were negotiations even after Ross Greenburg came out and made them look like fools.

This dude here.

So did Pac agree to full testing or not? Anybody got a source besides Marley?

No, he didn't.

Pac called Floyd's bluff.

Floyd went on vacation.

NEXT

Manny "agreed" to the old offer that he rejected that HE AND ARUM knew wasn't on the table anymore. And, that somehow = calling Floyd's bluff. Suuuuuuureeee buddy.

The majority of the Floyd fans had this random testing as a sticking point. Basically they said, if Manny agrees to Floyd's version of OST then they agree that it wasn't Manny that was holding up the fight. Now, that too wasn't enough as they still can't believe what they read. They are just too shocked!


So now it all makes sense:
- Negotiations did happen (proven by HBO exec)
- Floyd's side said random testing or nothing
- Manny and Roach agreed
- Floyd went on vacation
- Floyd was silent because what can he say? Floyd couldn't say, it's Manny's team's fault..... All that was left to say was ..... "Oh, Manny agreed to drug testing like I wanted but then I decided to go on vacation"

Maybe it's about the money but that would be somewhat lamer point than OST from a media perspective. Plus, Floyd put himself in a corner by saying there were no negotiations.

Still, the thing that is killing Floyd is this silence. Maybe Floyd just knew that he couldn't win the war of words once word was out that Manny agreed to Floyd's version of OST.

What is "Floyd's version" of OST? Who do you guys think Floyd is? Dude has NO rank and/or power to create HIS OWN version of blood drug testing, the USADA does that and they have been doing it for a while now. How old are you?

If there were no negotiations who did Manny agree with? If Manny really did agree to unrestricted random testing why are they just coming out with it conveniently while promoting the Cheato fight? Wouldn't Manny or big ass mouth Freddie been come out and said they agreed to testing? This is total BS!!!!!

Manny agreed with HIMSELF in the media. I still can't believe so many grown men are patting him on the back for "agreeing" to something that isn't an offer anymore. Mind-blowing.

see what happens when you jump to conclusions you dumb *****s., All this time you have been defending floyd about cut offs when you never new one bit of the details and we find out that pac agreed to everything. You guys get owned so much that you guys should just give up on this site.

No, he didn't. Don't be fooled. In Arum's "deadline" for Floyd to fight he explained that it was still a 14 day cut off and a 50/50 purse split. And LOL @ the rest of your post, hilarious!

[GRUSTLER]

ive heard pacquiao detractors say for years now that there's some talk behind the boxing scene that pac is taking steroids.

yet nothing has come out.


michael moorer was fired by roach & team pac, also justing fortune. both people have axes to grind with roach & pac, yet they denied pac used steroids.

you know why?


because pac has never failed a steroid test & there is zero evidence of steroid use against pac.

I'm not talking about steroids. I'm talking about the
BULL$#!t Bob Arum, Roach and Pac have been feeding
us and doing. Doesn't seem strange to you how Pac
continues to fight in house Top Rank fighters?

[lutenco]

WE ALL KNOW THAT MANNY AGREED TO TAKE A TEST ANYTIME,ANY DAY WITHOUT LIMITATION BUT FLOYD's *****ES ALSO TALK ABOUT DRUGS......WELL:1st:MANNY WILL RUIN THE CARRIER AND MENTALLY OF PBF;2nd:PBF'll PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR HIS LIES ON MANNY.
FLOYD IS IN BIG BIG TROUBLES,I SEE NO FUTURE FOR HIM.
