Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Don't Think Mayweather Wants To Fight

[empiricix]

Yes. Jeff was the first to mentioned that they're negotiation to make it happen. But he didn't mentioned anything about Floyd wanting 100 Million Dollars all for himself, Arum did.

"I think that, you know, the possibility of maybe $100 million, you know, split between Floyd and Manny is beyond doable. I know that that can be done. But when you start talking about $100 million for one fight, I don't think that can happen because that's a bit much. I mean, $100 millions for each guy is unrealistic, but $100 million for the two of the guys, I mean, that's very doable and very tangible. I mean, that can happen."

As you can deduce from this and Jeff's other statements, he was trying to broker the fight, until someone started talking about $100 million for one guy. That's when he bailed and left it up to Floyd's camp. Obviously, Pac didn't demand the $100 million, so it supports Arum's claim that Floyd asked for it, hence the failure of the negotiations.

It is interesting to note that, when asked about the $100 million for Floyd, Jeff Mayweather did not deny that it was asked for.

whatre you talking about? floyd been doin it to you floyd fans for a little over 2 years now.

I don't care what Floyd has to say because one he has proven himself to be full of shit and two because that has nothing to do with why I like him in the first place~



On a message board that is a different matter as it is a place of discussion. Make some more wild leaps though it will be entertaining.

Surprisingly there is a blueprint to beat Pacquiao.. Ask Singsurat, Torrecampo, Morales, and even watch Marquezs fights with Pacquiao...

With this info, Floyd is STILL HESITANT to jump on that 50mil+, shut the critics, and stop the Pac train.... Any person in their right mind would conclude Floyd just doesnt want the fight..

Manny is STILL HESITANT to jump on that 50 Million+, Shut the Mayweathers who accused him of being a steroids user, and retire Floyd for good to keep him irrelevant. Any person in their right mind wouldn't reject 50 Million Dollars because of a Blood Drug test.

until one of them says "i want [the other guy's name]", they both don't want it. it would've happened by now if either side really wanted it, instead of hinting about it through interviews....

Well there is a reason~ actually two that are pretty reasonable but both don't make Manny look great.

Then a month later, Both Koncz and Roger said both guys would receive 50 Million dollars each.

I don't even know why being called a hypocrite is a bad thing. Everyone is a hypocrite in this world.

Being full of shit is a completely other thing, and if that's the point you're trying to make than yes, I think both Floyd and Manny are both full of it.

nah, being a hypocrite is ***ed up for real.

yes, they are both full of it. you will never see me using a quote from Arum, Manny, Roger, FLoyd, FLoyd Jr, any of those fools as some sort of "fact" that many posters use in their arguments.

Floyd is one of the greatest rappers of all time!

im glad we can agree on this...

shaq murks floyd on the mike, so does bieber (just guessing)

[devildg]

Why should we care about an unranked fighter?

NEXT !

Bradley vs. Pac will be a great fight, cant wait

[boracay420]

expect Floyd to make an announcement this weekend if Pac shows vulnerability. otherwise his silent vacation will be extended for another year

Then a month later, Both Koncz and Roger said both guys would receive 50 Million dollars each.

Koncz would later claim that they were approached for a possible fight with Mayweather in SA but that Floyd asked for 100M, which scuttled the talks. Roger would then be asked what would it take to get Floyd back in the ring, and he replies, "$100M". Floyd would be interviewed by a radio station where he would state that he believes that he could get 100M since everything is possible when you get to his level.

Finally, here is Jeff himself telling people that he dropped his involvement with the Mandela talks because someone started talking about 100M for one guy, and that he is just leaving it up to Floyd's people.

Really, how hard is it to put 2 and 2 together?
