    To paraphrase Maya Angelou

    Oh I'm not saying that Sergio hasn't loss, because he has.

    It's just that most Pacquiao fans try to defend all his loses, he was young, he was drained, he was worried about something. In there eyes there so obsessed with Floyds undefeated steak, they want Manny so BADLY to be undefeated again.

      Any young fighter out there wouldn't be a 8-1 underdog, not Ortiz, Berto, Bradley, and especially not Martinez.

      You guys enable Mannys cowardliness, and allow him to keep taking those easy fights, just like him now wanting to fight Marquez around 144, when it should be around 135 or such, because ROACH picked on Marquez and said he was bloated during the Mayweather fight.
      IMO outside Floyd, Martinez is the only threat to Pac anywhere near his weight. As much as I would love to see Marquez get beat, I'm more interested in a Bradley, or Ortiz fight (Pac beats both IMO). But I guess Pac is in a position now to just fight money fights and floyd is the only one left that can provide money and threat at the same time.

        Obviously hes been doing a poor job with this, his public image is extremely bad right now when it could (and was) be viewed as Manny is avoiding the fight.
        Manny has won the PR war, which is what he wanted obviously. Nothing like herding the idiots.

        wtf is your problem?

        keep what real? Have i done much else but asking simple questions? I havn't put any blame on either fighter.

        Yes i would be happy to get the link, and i would use it without bias.

        Not exactly a Pac-fanatic. Hated the fight vs Clottey, Margarito and Mosley. Hate JMM vs pac 3 even more and thing it's a disgrace.
        I label myself a fan of boxing and not some ******ed **** who adores Floyd or Manny and would do anything to defend them. I just want the ****ing fight to happen, and im far from certain who i would root for. A double KO maybe?
        Good for you. Here's some links on the second negotiation. I'm running to the gym - I'll pull up the others when I come back.
        July 19 - In an interview by Chris Robinson from Examiner.com, Jeff Mayweather said, “He [Pacquiao] agreed to random testing up to 14 days. I never knew that random had a cutoff. So basically if you don’t have a cutoff, it doesn’t mean it’s random at all. That’s why the negotiations went down. It was the same as before.”

        July 7 - http://fighthype.com/pages/content7919.html
        “They stopped taking blood 18 days before [Mayweather-Mosley], so that shows that they can do it and be fine,” Arum would tell Lance Pugmire of the LA Times, explaining why he believes 14 days should be sufficient to satisfy Mayweather’s demands. “We’re saying the same thing, that if there’s information that emerges in the final 14 days, we can go to the [state boxing] commission and ask for more tests. We can work it out. No one’s looking to pull any fast ones.”

        July 17: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/spor...ao-boxing.html
        Pacquiao didn't want to submit to blood tests too close to a fight, his camp said. Pacquiao budged on the issue during these talks, moving from a 24-day cutoff of blood testing to 14 days. But all along the Mayweather camp has been silent.

              Floyd lost to Castillo in their first fight.

              He avoided all big threats after he got his revenge

                Didn't know the commission was the one demanding OST from Pac. Thanks for the info.

                  Do you think this makes you cool or something? Are your 13-year-old buddies impressed? Aren't you the same guy who used to pretend to be a Floyd fan? You kept asking me for links for stuff? And when I kept showing you...you decided to crawl away, pretend you didn't see and create this character? When are you going to grow up? I'm not looking for a response here (as I'm adding you to my ignore list anyway), just some **** for your repressed mind to think about.

                      If thats the case then Manny lost to Marquez BOTH times then, you see how that kind of thinking can also work against your logic??

                      Numerous amount of people that Mayweather lose to Castillio right?? Numerous amount of people also think that Manny lost against Marquez both times also.

                      So does this mean that it is true?? No, it's just best to stick to what the judges decided, because we can easily argue that Manny lost against Marquez also.
