Comments Thread For: Team Pacquiao: We Want Outdo Mayweather, Not Martinez

[Ryannn]

Margarito was a **** fight, Clottey was a **** fight, Mosley was a **** fight. End of story. Three **** fights, all on PPV. Manny is just milking the public and his fans are too busy "defending his honor." At least you are admitting that he must **** or get off the pot. He's done **** all for his legacy these past couple years. Plenty for his pockets at the expense of guess who?

Mosley didn't start saying all that until Pacquiao and Cotto were pretty much decided they were going to fight each other. What was Pacquiao supposed to do, stop negotiating with Cotto when the fight was pretty much set to go through the same process with Mosley?

Well, Shane was free and available, the same time Manny was. After he knocked out Hatton, they could have set up a fight. I mean, Manny didn't fight Miguel until November of 2009.

You're right. I hate ****ty PPVs. Just killing the sport.

Funny how 2 unimpressive performances have gone a long way in changing there mind. It wouldn't surprise me if this fight wouldn't have even been made even at this point if Mosley had looked anything other than terrible against Mora.

I honestly feel that they had to KNOW that Shane was done before they fought him. That is why they are fighting them now. And, there isn't really anything anyone can say to change me from thinking that way.

oh, i don't know, maybe when shane broke his ties with gbp.

but hey, screw logical reasoning right? just keep on hating.

I don't care about Golden boy or Top Rank at the end of the day Mosley was considered a threat back then hence them wanting him to come down to 143 now he hasn't picked up a win in over 2 years and he is now 40 team pac give the go ahead to fight at 147....what a joke

im not hating but when your past three opponents are Clottey,Margarito and Mosley I don't think you should hold onto top p4p status with that level of opponent.

Yeah but all the talk of Mosley wanting to fight Pacquiao didn't start until he was already set to fight Cotto. We've seen the last couple years that Arum has guys in mind for Pacquiao to fight before he has even finished his ongoing fight, and Cotto was ready to be made the second Hatton hit the canvas. So Mosley opening his mouth about wanting to fight Pacquiao when was already going to fight Cotto means nothing to me.

Sometimes I just don’t get some of you guys. The fight isn’t great, get that out of the way. But, is it really that wrong to want to outdo somebody? So because Shane Mosley has been beat by Forrest (2x), Wright (2x), Miguel Cotto and Floyd Maywather, I guess that means Manny shouldn’t strive to win because it’s already in the bag? It’s like some of you just sit there, waiting for something, anything to b*tch about. Aren’t these statements obvious enough where they don’t actually need to be said or heard? We already know Manny (by Koncz account) will want to outdo those that have beaten Mosley, the same way Mosley will look to outdo Morales in Pacquiao. How is this a surprise?

Yea...when you can just outdo this person by FIGHTING them.

[Ryannn]

Shane stated that after the Margarito fight he could've fought under whatever banner he felt like. So that excuse is just...an excuse.

but did he?

no. he stuck with gbp.

I totally agree and I would also go as far as saying team Pac inadvertently made it obvious that this was the case.

This is from MAY 2009. Shane was willing to drop down to fight Manny.
