POLL - Who is more to blame for the Pacquiao -vs- Mayweather Jr fight not happening?

[WESS]

i still think if floyd didnt b!tch about it and ask for OST we could have seen arum feeding pac to floyd already

so to say that i still pick floyd

ur poll s@cks d!ck

Less than poor attempt to blame Floyd.

You need to come harder than that as everyone knows the truth. OST is and has never been the issue. The issue is that Bob Arum has an agenda. I've said that many times for the past few years.

[jtiger777]

I choose not to believe that it is fully Arum, like so many people are pressed too.

People are too quick to forget that Pacquaio was fully capable of leaving his former promoter - Murad Muhammed.

That in itself shows Manny is more than capable of steering his own boat, but does not, so he should shoulder more blame.

This is essentially what I believe, and to kick things off, have voted Pacquiao.

but arum is a *** he controls the world

[TRUCKIN]

i don't think anything is going on.. I think manny is just dumb. Arum does have something on manny... Brains.

^^^^^^this was well put

[puga]

floyd's b1tchass....

[HandSpeed303]

He has Manny trained like a master trains a dog. Sit, roll over, ect. He's convinced Manny that he can't function successfully without him. He's trained Manny to always say "it depends my promoter Bob Arum"..... "I'm just a fighter"... "testing is no longer an issue"... ect. Arum is the Boss in Manny's mind. It's a pathetic thing to behold.

I could be wrong here, but there is no time like the present...I don't recall Manny saying any of those things after the JMM fight.

Matter of fact, he did what most Floyd fans have been begging him to do. Then about a day later, Bob killed that noise. Truth is, all of team manny are to blame...This circus has gone on for far to long. To be completely honest, I'm shocked so many people are still even interested in this fight...

[DoktorSleepless]

If Mayweather doesn't happen next, It's Pacquioa's fault. It's simple as that. I doubt there's anything in the contract that says Bob Arums picks the opponents and Pac has no say.

[Pugilistic™]

To me, both fighters are to blame.

[fceeviper]

Bob, but if Pac was any kind of a man he would dictate his next opponents.

So both are to blame.

In the post fight interview, Kellerman asked:

Kellerman: Manny, the fight the whole world wants to see is with Mayweather? Mayweather says he has a date booked for May. Manny what do you have to say in response?

Pacquiao: Well, let's get it on. Make the fight happen. Let's give the people a good fight.

Starts at 2:58



Then 10-15 minutes later in the corridor:

Interviewer: What about Floyd Mayweather Jr?
Pacquaio: I really don't know. (Sighs) I have to talk to my promoter. Err you know I'm not choosing my opponent. Whatever Bob Arum gives me as opponent, I will accept that.

Jump to 0:55



Question - What made him change his mind so quickly in that short space of time?
