Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs Pacquiao: Arum, King Ready To Make It

[SaiZelion]

Ironically, the COMMISSION that Manny is trying to hide behind are the ones that hand out the penalties for fighters that fail to make weight. So, why is Manny trying to go ABOVE the COMMISSION and hand out his OWN penalties for overweight fighters, then scream foul when his opponent wants to do testing that is ABOVE the testing the Nevada COMMISSION does?

Exactly! hypocrisy exposed. In each of his fights since Marquez in 2008, Team Manny always makes the most demands: Catchweights, gloves etc.. and all of the fighters he faces accepts the terms- no prob. BUT when someone puts demands on Manny- ALLLLLLL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!!!!!

Let's Make Sense of This:
Team Manny consistently demands catch weights, smaller gloves and penalties. Fans respond "Well, he's a smaller guy and should not be at a disadvantage" (aka he justified). Manny is not called out for being scared to fight these fighters at their best nor is he called a coward for these demands.

The FLIP SIDE:
Floyd makes a request, BLOOD TESTING, yet his 1 request is scrutinized and labeled an act of a coward. Even more hypocrisy is the fact that hardly no one is criticizing Manny for refusing to take a potentially $50-$100 million dollar fight because he doesn't want to take a blood test- something American's do on a daily basis.

HYPOCRISY, DOUBLE STANDARDS, AND UNBRIDLED HATE.

Just fight Floyd please. For the sake of your fans and boxing, just fight.
The world is waiting.

shade darkar you have to be one of the ******est boxing fans on this website. if a fighter agrees to 144 but coming 2 lbs over so he won't be weight drained,and pay the penalty is a smart move. only a dummy like yourself and De la hoya would'nt know what to do.

its a smart move to cheat? and lol at you calling me one of the ******est boxing fan on the site.

so far you have said its ok to cheat and cant tell the difference between making weight and not making weight. whats next?

Facts

Floyd requests:
Random OSDT | Manny refuses

Manny requests:
Smaller Ring | Floyd agrees
8oz Gloves | Floyd agrees
$10 million penalty per pound over catchweight | Floyd agrees
__________________________________________________ __

Potential purse $50-$100 million
Manny chooses to fight Clottey for $12 million instead
Now that public pressure is mounting on Manny, he's finally willing to accept a 14 day cut off. Why he needs a cut off when Mosley, who is OLDER and passed his prime, did NOT- is beyond human understanding.

WHO WALKS AWAY FROM $50-$100 MILLION TO TAKE $12-$15 MILLION INSTEAD?

That action from Manny speaks louder than any speculation about Mayweather.

Manny's Fear EXPOSED
It's NO BIG DEAL if Manny is outweighed by 16lbs by a taller Margarito, outweighed by Hatton, outweighed by Oscar. Team Manny did not show the same sense of concern and urgency regarding weight with the above mentioned fighters. But when it comes to Floyd Mayweather Jr, Team Manny demands $10,000,000 PER POUND OVER WEIGHT! WOW! Manny & Freddy, if you're so confident you can defeat Floyd, then why worry about it!? it's not like Floyd is suspected of PEDs!

Reminds me of how fanboys points out how Mayweather NEVER demanded for random OST from other fighters in the past. Yet Pac all of a sudden "DEMANDS" for Floyd to agree to pay $10 million if he comes in every pound "overweight"? Pac didn't demand such a penalty from other fighters. What changed? lol

Funny thing is Pac has come in overweight before and been officially penalized for it too. Mayweather has not, he paid to change the contract so he could weigh heavier. It's not like he walked into the ring overweight. He "changed" the contract. Still bytch, yet he made his point in the end as Pac STILL wont fight JMM even when the media and fans wanted it.... Pac fighting for the fans? Sorry to bust the bubble, he fights for Arum and we ALL know Arum has an agenda and certain fighters where never on it....

[V.WEBB]

i see your point there. the difference is pac hasnt failed a drug test. floyd has failed to make weight.

There is no difference. Cotto NEVER failed to make weight and Manny put a million dollar penalty on him for every LB over 145. Morales NEVER failed to make weight, Manny put a penalty on him. One of Manny's arguments was to "let the commission do their job, we will only do what the commission says"...but then he goes ABOVE them on the weight penalty issue? Hilarious.

Its hypocrisy on Manny's part, plan and simple. He can't hide behind the commission when he wants, and then go above them when he wants.

sure, but floyd failed to make weight so it is reasonable to have that clause in there. im not saying manny is a saint, i can see why he would do it to floyd.

When did he fail to make 147 pounds...you know, the weight they were going to be fighting at? And LOL @ how Manny can make demands, but other fighters can't.

[IMDAZED]

This guy shade darkar is one hell of a d*ckrider.

[jbin333]

if manny is able to KNOCK mosley out...there's no way floyd even thinks about getting in the ring with manny...which speaks volumes, because cotto who got destroyed/pummelled by manny is willing to get in there again with manny....all these guys have fought manny with no stipulations....maybe money drove them to just go in there for a payday, ala clottey...but for the most part everyone else went in there thinking they'd beat little manny, but once they got touched up by nanny's punches...the story quickly changed!!! floyd will not fight manny, he'll always come up with an excuse!!! its funny how a man like floyd who claims he's the best isn't willing to get in the ring with the other guy everyone is calling the best......also floyd is so driven by money, yet he's unwilling to sign to fight manny for what would be the biggest payday in his life...come on!!!

sugar ray leonard had to fight tommy hearns and he did!!!!....

floyd has to fight manny, its that simple!!!

That's not cheating as he paid a fine and JMM agreed to "change" the contact BEFORE the fight EVER took place. How do you get so confused and mixed up on this?

At the end of the day, it wouldn't have mattered as Floyd outclassed and embarrassed JMM. Just like Pac fighting Cotto for his WW title at a CATCHWEIGHT, the few pounds wouldn't have made a difference yet team Pac STILL wanted the advantage. Pac vs Cotto is no better than Mayweather vs JMM. All 4 fighters came to an agreement and made the fight. BOTH fights where good, not great.
