Comments Thread For: Steward: Pacquiao Should Fight Two, Three More at Most

[tomhawq]

I see it this way, if Pac was so intent on making the biggest fight of our generation, he would have sent a contract to Floyd with the terms of full random drug testing agreed upon. Just remember right at the very beginning of this whole charade it was Floyd who openend up negotiations and issued contracts, I'm yet to see Pac do a similar thing on reasonable terms. Why should Floyd once more go out of his way to make a fight with Pac? To once more see them walk away at the table.

don't bet your life on it, dude. like i said many times before, pacquiao can sign all the stringent testing contracts in the world and floyd mayweather jr will still find excuses not to fight him. listen to what mosley said recently. this fight would have happen a long time ago if floyd wanted it.

then there is this huge amount of money floyd is demanding. which i think is the biggest reason why this fight is not happening. in floyd's mind if he had to take the riskiest fight that would take his zero, he had to be compensated in huge sums of money. drug testing issue is just a convenient way to duck the fight because it looks more legitimate. in reality, it's the money that is preventing this fight from happening. he thinks arum can never offer the amount of money he thinks he's entitled to. mayweather vs pacquiao to him is like the mother of all superbowls in boxing. it's the riskiest fight he could ever take in his career. he's convinced it should pay bigger.

nay good sir! drug testing isn't an issue. . . forget what ariza says, PACQUIAO HIMSELF has been saying it for years that it's not an issue. . . Arum has said it's not an issue either. . .

Here is a timeline of the past, present and future for pac/floyd:

Floyd - if u da best, take da test! manny - ok, i agree to your demands, no problem. . Floyd - if you da best, take da test! manny - uhh ok, sure, no problem, when are we gonna fight? Floyd - if u da best, take the test!!!
Manny - wtf! ill take the test! Floyd - IF U DA BEST, TAKE THE TEST? Manny - bytch ass mahfackah. . . .

Ummm, you're missing quite a few details from the Pacquiao side.

The Racket Squad: The Floyd Void

After Marquez, there is no challange of consequence for Pac. There is zero evidence that Pacquiao takes the Barry Bonds route to success. Therefore 'Money' has no excuse other then his desire to control all facets of each contest he accepts. With Manny, that luxury will not exist.
But we have seen the path that Floyd IS willing to walk.
After his sucker punch finale at $60 a buy, I will not pay to watch him take the easy way out again.
His record will lack the most important name of his generation.
It's a disgrace.
So Pac should simply pack it up and do some good in the world as opposed to making Arum richer.

I think you've got this the other way round. It is Manny that doesn't want to fight Floyd, and random drug testing.

After all this time, you still believe that Manny is the one avoiding this fight. Your total dedication to Floyd is very admirable but unfortunately, pitiful as well.

I don't know, man. That whole "it's not am issue" thing is not the same as saying "I'll take the tests the way the USDA wants to administer them". Honestly, it seems like a line fed to Pac by Arum as a way of making it seem like they'll take te test without really saying it.

... The only legit reason someone would have for not submitting to the tests would be if there was something to hide. End of story. No one would reject having a tablespoon of blood drawn a few times during a 2-month period when there is so much money on the line.

Bradley, Maybe Cotto again, and maybe Khan - If Pac still has $$.

If Pac has not $$, a few more fights.

The Pac-Mayweather fight will probably never happen. Another two years go by, both are out of prime. Maybe one or both of them will lose by that time.

[LeadUppercut]

we will never see manny vs mayweather. just sad

Just stop it, of course you will see that fight.

Pacquiao will fight Mayweather immediately before he retires, Floyd will most likely be Manny's last opponent.

Bob Arum likes money, they will not pass up that HUGE payday.

Trust me bro just like I guaranteed the hoards of Haye-haters that hayemaker would definitely collect that payday from Wlad.

That fight is in the future, in the meantime, Pac has plenty of old men and bums to beat up, plenty of gullible fans to shaft, and many naive casuals to short-change.

They will milk the Manny-cow until it is dry and then feed it to Mayweather.

I keep hearing "even if pac takes the test......." why?? because he still hasn't agreed to it, People buying into the hype for fights like this as usual, tell me if a younger Marquez at his prime weight couldn't win then how is a 38 yr old Marquez fighting at welterweight gonna win????

Thank God for loyal fans like some of you guys that keep the sport alive despite average-weak matchups like these. You cried when Floyd beat Marquez at welter but now your praising this fight saying it will be great?? SMH at you double standard chumps.

Forget the hype, the specialists for gaining weight, emmanuel steward...... Pac is winning this without much trouble.

Good post bro.

Another thing, check out the gullible kids in this thread alone who actually think that Pacquiao will step up and fight Martinez

WTF fanboys ?

HUGH!!!! err im just so befuddled! i agree with you HUGH!

if floyd doesn't want to fight manny, no sense in him sticking around for more than 2-3 more fights. . . literally nothing else left to prove. . .

we have witnessed a once in a century pugilist, and have been blessed with seeing him accomplish what no other boxer has, from the very first fistic era to the current!

Ignorants like this guy

What a truly absurd statement from a flag-waving kid.

There are a number of fighters just from my era alone that are much better than Pacquiao, and they will take the test.

It is likely that Pacquiao is not in the top 100 of my era, simply because his career is likely fraudulent...... but even if legit, he aint close to the best, not even close.
