[COACH WEBB]

IF it pushes through? What's stopping it?

I know the answer, guys.

Any doubts I had about who was really ducking who were answered against Marquez. He knows damn well what will happen when they step in the ring. Floyd crushes him. Everything Marquez did against Pac Floyd will do, just at a higher level. He's a better counter puncher, faster, bigger, better footwork, and bigger puncher than Marquez. If they ever fight it's going to be a really lopsided decision or stoppage.

sign what floyd? your camp always deny there havent been any negotiations and you even shoot down koncz's visit as not a negotiation visit.

so what are you going to sign floyd if you always deny there ano negotiations? ****** juvenile fvkk.

when you're dealing with mayweather, you're bound to some ****** secrecy code or something. it's as if you're planning the next *********ic attack. i've never seen anything like it in the sporting world. sport is entertainment. it's recreation. it's wide open. it brings peace. it has a jovial nature.

secrecy implies that mayweather's mind can change at his whim and at the drop of a hat. he acts like he owns the sport. what possible backlash does he worry about when he can do whatever he likes without remorse? i don't really get this secrecy crap.

anyone can explain to me why the need for this?

manny pac man please fight floyd so that we can get rid of your fans who make u look bad, after u lose to mayweather that will rid the internet of the virus that has infected it since 2009 when you beat de la hoya.... the excuse is already in play (FLOYD WAITED UNTIL PAC LOOKED BAD, THEN PUSHED FOR THE FIGHT) so you are already covered... we would appreciate it if u just took the fight... we need you brother emanuel!!!!

I smell horse****. If Manny isn't going to take the fight just hang 'em up.

You should really just stop talking. It's not horse****, it's your own breath your smelling.

People need to wake and because i have. I'm a Mayweather fan and i believe both fighters want the fight and its becoming obvious that Arum is sabotaging the whole thing. Mayweather isn't scared and Manny isn't scared. The only gripe i have with Manny is him not putting his foot down because he should be the one giving the orders not Arum. and yeah, i'm a Mayweather fan but i'll be the first one to admit that he wasn't trying 100% to get the deal done is the past but now it seems they both want it and Arum is ****ing things up. You guys need to stop hating on the fighters because the whole world sees that its Arum fault not the fighters.

The whole "ducking" label really doesn't apply here, I believe.
I say this because although both fighters are puppets, it is Pacquiao who has the thicker puppet strings. Arum calls the shots, it's arum who ducks, and not Pacquiao.

Puppet strings are always evident when a fighter is asked, "I know what the promoter might want, but what do YOU want, [enter fighter's name here]?"
The response of the fighter to that questions shows how tight those strings are tied.

These two fighters are being guided...and for all the talk Floyd says, he has advisers who do just that...advise! In the case of Manny, he's got two over his head, his adviser and promoter. They call the shots for him, not Manny, regardless of what his camp would have you believe. And Arum is no dummy, he can finesse Manny to ultimately side with him, that's what a good promoter will do, for the sake of the most money to be made overall, not just on one fight.

But i will say this, I believe the fight may very well happen this time as the pickings of other opponents seems to be at an all time low for these two. At least in terms of interest. Any other match-up in this weight class other than these two is meaningless and beneath either status and ego, and least importantly, an insult to the boxing community and its fans.

You should really stop being another butt-hurt ******* hiding behind an alt. Welcome to my ignore list, where the rest of you pea-brained, ashy-kneed knob slobbers reside.
