Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Hopefully The Mayweather Fight Pushes Through

The Fight Will Happen

I dont think either fighter fears the other. Manny/Mayweather are tough guys and have been boxing there whole lives and even if they feared each other I can think of $50 million reasons to get over it. Besides there wouldn't be any shame in losing to the other as long as it was competitive.

Actually Mike did make Holyfield test for their second fight, but it was only urine and they didn't make it a big media event like Bob Arum did to spin it as a disrespectful request. I think Manny uses HGH just like Holyfield, Toney, and Barry Bonds did. What do they have in common? The unnatural increase in their head and hand size, which is a common side effect of HGH abuse when you're an adult.

16-year old pac on HGH?

Pacquiao fought Cotto and Margarito. Both of whom are way tougher fights than floyd would ever be.

This fight won't happen because of 1) floyd's lack of balls and 2) legal problems

@ Cotto and Marg being tougher fights than Floyd...oh man, that was a good JOKE!!!!!

I don't get what you are getting at either. They were 10 pounds (2 weight classes) apart, why would Manny or Floyd want to fight each other then when they weren't in the same division? Also, Floyd wasn't an established PPV attraction back in 2005. He was starting to establish himself as one when he took the Gatti fight I believe. A lot has changed since the year you are trying to make point on.

Marquez and pac are two weight classes apart. but this fights still happening .....

"We're going to pray that and hopefully there's no problems with the promoter"

Talking about Arum?

Thats what I was thinking? I wonder who would do the pushing and which way are they really pushing?

Does Pac know something we don't about Bob "wanting" to make the fight?

hahaha nice story.

It is becoming more and more clear that Arum has zero confidence in Pacquiao's ability to beat Mayweather Jr in the ring...

At least Pacquiao has confidence and Roach kind of does regarding this fight.

Hopefully Mayweather stops running and decides to sign.

shut up pacmans nut sack licker!

[spoonwars]

I hope Manny has real intentions to fight Floyd and is not saying this because it's fight week just to get more publicity.

Don't worry. You won't hear Manny say, "I didn't say that," at a later time regarding this.

I posted this yesterday when I saw it live, I was sure he might have been referring to Arum when he said I hope "The promoter" doesn't have a problem with it, But with Paq's English it's difficult to know if he meant exactly Arum
