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

[richardt]

Here is a question, how many Pac or Mayweather fans see the fight going 116 to 114 in favor of Mayweather? I see Mayweather getting stunned and dropped but putting on a clinic outside of those moments. Anyone agree?

Pacquiao agree to Floyd's testing demands before, only for Floyd to move the goalposts.

To charachterize it as moving the goalposts is a distorted talking point. To say Nevada has sufficient drug testing, given SHane and Toney (a roach trained fighter at the time) is not credible. It seems as if Roach was unaware that OST included blodd testing.

I understand your points but just don't see how you reach the conclusions given what you posted.

Manny Pacquiao has signed a contract to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. in boxing's biggest fight on March 13, a source with knowledge of the meeting told ESPN.com on Friday night.


Pacquiao signed the contract, everything was agreed, then Floyd pulled out the rabbit from his hat to avoid the fight.

Well since you think it was an 11th hour stipulation...let me take you back to September 15, 2009 where Sr first made the insinuation:

Now that that's outta the way, Dan Raphael posted on the "never wrong" mothership, ESPN, that Pac signed the contract:

BUT...Pac apparently doesn't agree with your "post something from ESPN cause they are always correct" mantra and denies signing the contract:

And then that's when absurd demands started being made to present roadblocks to the fight happening...from PAC's side:

But ironically, Floyd didn't balk at this crap (that wasn't in the original agreement, but added to try to throw salt in the game) and agreed to the weight penalty. No one saw the random tests as an issue at first...even as late as December 13, 2009:

http://www.aolnews.com/2009/12/13/pacquiao-would-welcome-random-drug-test/

So now we have Mayweather agreed to all terms including the "11th hour stip" of the weight penalty and Pac "agreeing" to everything with no issue with testing. Good, right? Now a venue is picked with an announce date:

Really good, right? So no issues, everything is good, no roadblocks......and then.......Arum calls the fight off:

Wow....great job Floyd of ducking Pac!

First of all I wouldnt sleep on the trainer who said if he could use a performance enhancer to get his fighter the edge he would do it (Nacho) so I wouldnt be too quick to count Marquez out. It should be very simple to make a PBF/Pac fight but of course Team Pac will make it difficult. Its hard to understand the idiots making excuses for Manny when from DAY ONE Floyd and his Team have maintained their same position while Manny's changes like the wind. One lame excuse after another. Why would Floyd at this point, fight a guy that wouldnt agree to bring his ass to Wild Card to train? Whats the big deal all of a sudden when Pac's trainer says Wild Card is the best place for Manny to train?

[SERVILEV]

No excuses because Floyd whoops Pacquiao's ass even when he's 42.Manny's trying to mitigate the risk here,a younger Floyd's bad news for Manny and he knows it.In case you havent noticed how old Manny's last few opponents have been.Either they had just badly lost or were over 35

lol once again, how old were mayws last couple opponents? oo i guess you think that the mosley and marquez that floyd fought were undefeated then!!?
how ironic it is that at that time. pacq was beating the guys that beat each other that beat mosley aswell! that floyd couldnt beat cuz refused to fight them.. again Pacq is getting older ever year just like Mayw is..
