Pacquiao-Floyd Fight Was Killed in 2009

i think senior-hatton tandem killed the potential bout. why is that?

hatton was so ****** enough to rush things and got served instead.

they all waited to see pac's performance against cotto. who got served? i think they have seen pac's flaws but could not determine how he can survive against cotto that time.

that's how you analyze a potential fight... a one-dimensional midget that beats up everyone in the way means he is on PEDs.

Pacquiao-Floyd Fight Was Killed in 2009
Published by Malinowski on February 4th, 2011

n December 2, 2009 in New York City I asked Paul Williams trainer & manager George Peterson for his analysis of the supposedly forthcoming Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Super Bowl of Boxing. It was one of those times when a simple question provoked a shockingly unexpected truth. With cryptic assurance, Peterson revealed the fight would not happen but would not go into specific detail.

As it has turned out, Peterson was 100% right. The fight didn’t happen and it won’t. And we all know why not.

Since time has shown Peterson was telling the truth that afternoon in New York City – it proves the supposed random blood testing scheme was all just a scam used by Mayweather to get out of the fight he never wanted. And the original secret plan of Mayweather, which dated back to even before December 2, 2009, was to absolutely avoid a fight with non-American Pacquiao, by any means necessary. (Keep in mind Peterson works closely with Floyd’s advisor Al Haymon in directing the career of Paul Williams.)

Here is the original transcript of the on-the-record interview I did with George Peterson on December 2, 2009…

*************: Who do you see winning Pacquiao vs. Floyd?
Peterson: “It’s not gonna happen.”
*************: You don’t think so?
Peterson: “No.”
*************: Why not?
Peterson: “It’s not a fight that’s meant to be made. That fight’s just not meant to be made.”
*************: Why not? Everyone wants to see it?
Peterson: “A lot of people want to see it but they’re not gonna see it.”
*************: Mayweather doesn’t want it does he?
Peterson: “Ah, that fight is not gonna be made.”
*************: You’re saying it with a lot of certainty in your voice.
Peterson: “Yes sir. Yes sir. If it was gonna be made it would be made by now.”
*************: Who doesn’t want to pull the trigger? (I know Mayweather is the chicken here, just want to try to get more from the source.)
Peterson: “I just don’t see it being made.”
*************: You know something but won’t say it.
Peterson: [Smiles].
*************: Who would win, if it was made? Just for fun?
Peterson: “It’s not gonna be made. That fight is not gonna be made.”
*************: I hear you, it’s not even worth wasting the energy on a fight that is fantasy.
Peterson: “It’s not gonna happen.”

Also, another boxing insider told me that Haymon told him he would never allow Floyd to fight Margarito because the Mexican is “too big, too strong and just keeps on coming.”

Boxing Insider

The problem with this logic it twofold:


1. Mayweather could not have forseen random OST stopping the fight in it's tracks (unless he knows Manny is on PED's)

2. Manny could have just accepted OST in the first negotiation and Mayweather would have nowhere to run if he didn't want the fight-----> but Manny didn't.

That's terrible did they ever solve the mystery of who killed it?

Pac killed it when he damn near killed poor Cotto
Floyd wanted none after that

the article doesn't really say anything. and the interviewer is bias

[Phenom]

FLOYD MAYWEATHER STATEMENT

"Throughout this whole process I have remained patient, but at this point I am thoroughly disgusted that Pacquiao and his representatives are trying to blame me for the fight not happening when clearly the blame is on them.

"First and foremost, not only do I want to fight Manny Pacquiao, I want to whip his punk ass.

"Before the mediation, my team proposed a 14-day, no blood testing window leading up to the fight. But it was rejected. I am still proposing the 14-day window but he is still unwilling to agree to it, even though this is obviously a fair compromise on my part as I wanted the testing to be up until the fight and he wanted a 30-day cut-off. The truth is he just doesn't want to take the tests.

"In my opinion it is Manny Pacquiao and his team who are denying the people a chance to see the biggest fight ever. I know the people will see through their smokescreens and lies. I am ready to fight and sign the contract. Manny needs to stop making his excuses, step up and fight."

the one and only time the fight was actually on the table

[daggum]

the fight was killed when pacquiao refused to become the CEO of his own company. plus doesn't he live like really far away?

[Talisayen]

We already knew from the beginning that Floyd is scared to fight Pacquiao. Is there anything new?
