Floyd has turned the tables on Manny in their chessmatch

[The Big Dunn]

Everyone likes to blame Bob but the smarter boxers all left him. Bob works for Manny, not vice versa. And when Manny doesn't like something, he has Bob change it. So I blame Manny first and foremost for everything taking place now. He did, after all, say that HE instructed his American lawyers to pursue a defamation case. And what do you know? Now he's saying the fight can't happen while the case is ongoing. A case which, by the way, he ramped up as soon as Floyd announced his comeback.

If manny had left Bob he'd be better off financially for sure. The way he accepted the cash from GBP (again facstro1 lets not deify just yet) suggests manny has no problem doing things to get paid.

So unscrupulous. Imagine a person running for US Congress doing some **** like that. Check that, US citizens are dumb enough to elect someone like that anyway.

floyd beat up his wife and makes racist remarks and makes it rain in the club. He is definitely more loved than pacquiao lol.

I didn't say he was more loved. The point is if Manny were an american athlete we'd hear more about the infidelity and the way he took the cash from GBP. Not exactly things he or his fans can be proud of.

You are insane....Arum is nobodies puppet. You are blinded by your floydism that you can't see straight.

Manny is a poor kid form the ****** of the Philippines, he knows as much about American lawsuits as I do nuclear physics.

I don't think he had a choice BUT to address Pacquiao. Fight Hype released a 34 min video with Mayweather pretty much addressing everything, but you can also see how far he's going to justify himself, for instance:

He goes on to ask this reporter if he think Floyd can go up to Heavyweight to fight the Klithsckos, the guy says no and ignorantly Floyd says "Ok THANK YOU!" insinuating how Pacquiao went from 106 to 147. Then he's trying to pin Pacquiao and the Barry Bonds scandal together and the same reporter tells him it's totally different circumstances and mentions Balco while Floyd kinda just sits there like "...ummm...ok...:" then proceeds with the ****** Klitschko remark.



My thing with him is, he's always trying to shine a better light on himself to make it seem like his **** don't stink. But c'mon dude, Floyd cannot sit there and clown Pac's victories and look at his own last 4 yrs in the sport along with all the other **** he puts himself out on with his personal issues and expect the media to be blowing him like Fight Hype. Kudos to him fighting Ortiz. It's not gonna be his toughest fight (I don't think), but IF he's about really making a last run before he retires this could be a step in the right direction. His demeanor though seems of someone who's looking at the end of the tunnel already, but that's just me.

floyd is a complete moron on camera and in public and a douchebag. however he has business acumen and I beleive that he is turning opinion on manny by taking this fight and allowing manny to dig his own grave (by this I mean continuing to take shi t fights and continuing to be silent on doing the OST)

There are plenty of Filipinos who are horribly embarassed that their countrymen were ****** enough to elect an uneducated guy who gets punched in the head for a living to a political office. No matter how much they love Pacquiao as a boxer, his election is an embarrassment to many Filipino citizens.

why would filipinos be embarassed. He is a politician that realy wants to make a change instead of stealing money from the people. He invests his own money from boxing into projects for the country. He is not a typical Filipino politician. Dude is trying to make a change.

wtf is floyd doing nothing but making it rain in the club lol/

THEN WHY THE **** IS HE A CONGRESSMAN!! And, since when does being poor make you ******?

Who said Arum was a puppet? I said he works for Manny. And he does. That makes him a puppet? Let's try to use our brain, please. When he made the Pacquiao-Hatton fight and Manny didn't like the numbers, Manny refused to agree until Bob had to come out of his own pocket. So who works for who again? Manny may be from the hood but he understood that!

And BTW, save the name-calling for something else. We actually have a decent thread going for once so cut the floydism/***** crap. I was considered a Floyd hater on these boards until this issue arose so spare me the BS.

If you have actually met floyd in public, and I have (of course this was 2003) then you would know he is actually a cool guy.

Mayweather's camp has picked opponents well (you cannot argue with Mosley or Ortiz) and there are some choices (JMM - Pac's nemesis & Ortiz - Aggressive Southpaw) which make me believe that they definitely have preparations both in the ring (fighting a southpaw) and out of the ring (marketing the fight by using Floyd and Manny's performances against JMM) for the Pac fight.

I also think what they have done well in regards to the whole media war is that they have always waited until after Pacquiao has chosen anyone but Floyd before Floyd makes his oppoenent choice - this makes it appear that Mayweather wants Pacquiao first and foremost and only looks at other choices once he is out of the picture.

What makes Team Pac look dodgy is that they a) refuse random testing - I don't care who you are, if you refuse testing you LOOK su****ious

and

b) Arum/Manny's next opponent let's slip that Pacquiao's next opponent is pretty much already signed before his previous fight is even completed.

I don't believe Pacquiao is scared of Floyd or vice versa, but what annoys me is that Pacquiao seems content to just let Arum call the shots. **** Arum and if these guys really want to give the fans what they want they would get in a room and thrash out terms on this fight, I am sick of Arum lining up opponents for Pacquiao, that aren't named Floyd Mayweather, before Pacquiao has even fought his previous opponent!
