Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Expects To Face Mayweather "Next Year"

[The Big Dunn]

Try quoting an entire article! Pac said he didn't need May for his legacy but still wanted to fight him.

RichardT:

I don't think I am missrepresenting Manny's position in my post. Maybe manny believed that he didn't because Bob told him so. Maybe he didn't because the media was on his side. This represents a change in PAc's position. A good change and he deserves credit for it.

[AFighter4U]

Why does MAnny say he is fighting floyd next year when prior to the Mosley fight he said he didn't need to fight floyd for his legacy? WHat has changed in the last 3-5 months that has led Manny to change his mind?

he didn't change his mind.

he merely stated that a fight against floyd isn't NECESSARY for his LEGACY.

he didn't say that he wouldn't fight the guy.

[Tamis!]

remember floyd stated on camera, not in the phillipines somewhere in print but in america on camera that manny pacquiao is "next"

its on this site as well...

So dont get to happy as if manny is finally showing his scrotum....

Why do you have a thing for Manny's scrotum?

Are you a girl like Gina?

So if Floyd said Manny is next, dang I'll be happy, why fret? I've been waiting long for this fight to happen.

What's your point beside Manny's scrotum anyways?

You know Sr. has a lot of influence in Floyd Jr's camp....so it's a matter of time to bring that one to the table. Don't be surprised.

Floyd Sr was the one who came with the OSTD **** !!

true, true, but i would want to give floyd jr. the benefit of the doubt and see what he has to say about this.

and remember that it was also floyd SR who came up with the a-side meth crap. sometimes, sr makes a lot of sense, especially when talking about boxing.

but when it comes to Pac, its like he temporarily loses his mind or something.

First, we need to hear from Mayweather. That is not Floyd speaking in the article. I don't think Floyd will be able to demand that Pac does not get to train in his home country. If he does, Floyd and his fans will have no leg to stand on. No one has the right to make those demands. We need to hear from Mayweather.

this is just sad and annoying... death to arum

[The Big Dunn]

does it really matter? Point is, him and Arum is saying the fight will happen now. So I'm happy, aren't you? Also, Floyd already said he want to fight Pac publicly, but of course we need to hear a final confirmation to make everything official. No point in looking at the past coz that's not gonna help us. I do believe both agencies are already setting up a deal with this megafight, and seems like it's really getting close to happening. IMO, I think both Floyd and Pac are ready to retire and they want that last big payday.

Mayabandg and AFighter4u:

Manny seems to want this fight now when it seemed he hasn't wanted it before. I'm not here calling him a cowrad or any of that BS. My point simply is it appears as if he realizes the need for him to fight floyd. And it is MAnny who seems to be changing his position. Again not a bad thing. Just interesting to me.

we heard from floyd already, weve been hearing the same thing for 2 years now... he said if you take the test the fight is on... he never said anything about where pac trains... his dad did....

Don't misrepresent what is going on. If there is an objection to training in the phillipines from floyd's camp it is in response to Bob Arum claiming USADA testing can't be trusted and a WADA official must do testing in the phillipines. Its not like floyd would be requesting Manny train all the time in the US just because. STop distorting that.

Last time they had negotiations we also heard June 2010, I not thinking about boxing at the moment, I want to take a year or two out to spend time with my family.

How can people blame Pacquiao for Floyd going on vacation.

Floyd has no more moves to make, it is checkmate.
