Why isn't there blame on Mayweather?

[4Corners]

LOL at any "adult" defending Arum OR Manny here. And I'm BTW, I'm stick of Manny fans trying to pass ALL the blame off on Arum....MANNY IS THE BLAME, flat out. Be men and stop giving Manny a pass for EVERY SINGLE THING..especially all this trash since 09 as to why he can't fight the best fighter out there.

Very true.

Manny's opposition has been crap since Hatton and Cotto in 2009. Even Marquez, who was looked at as a good pick now because he arguably beat Manny, was a crap choice.

I've always laughed at the people who say Mosley and Ortiz were crappy choices for Floyd, even though Mosley had just KO'd a latter prime Margarito and Ortiz had just beaten previously unbeaten Berto, but than defend Pacquiao fighting Clottey, Margarito, Mosley, and Marquez when he did.

It's funny.

Mayweather has very little time to announce an opponent, he HAS to choose an opponent now cause he has to fight in May - and Arum has unequivocally stated that Manny will not be fighting in May against Mayweather because of 1. The supposedly new stadium being built (rofl) 2. He has a cut that needs to heal up(?????????????????????????).

Now what else do you want Mayweather to do? He's going to jail in June, and if he wants he needs time to market his fight in May.

Arum already has Marquez and Bradley in the mix, I can bet you he wasn't thrilled at all when Mayweather's sentence was pushed back.

He said the EARLIEST the stadium can be built is at the end of May which rules out a May fight already.

To cover his ass to he says Manny has a cut he has yet to assess.

It appears both camps have pigeonholed themselves into a position.

Floyd now MUST fight on May 5th, because he is going to jail on June 1st. That says that like Pacquiao, he wants to stay active and get a fight in before the first half of the year is up.

Pacquiao's Team has previously said that he can't fight on May, that they won't wait on Floyd if he is in jail either and thus fight someone else according to their preferred timeline.

Why not just cut the **** and fight on May 5th. Not because Floyd said so, but because it's a reasonable amount of time for both camps to promote it, and train. And because the May 5th date represents the last BIG Boxing event (Mayweather Vs Delahoya).

Here's a question for you. Why do you think that all of a sudden, a guy like Mayweather, who has had about 2.5 fights a year over his whole career, and less than a fight a year for the last 4-5 years, suddenly wants to be "active"...?? If he'd had any intention of fighting MannyP in May, he'd have consulted him first before arranging the booking. And Top Rank would have to be brought in as well. It's obvious, to me anyway, that he never had any intention of fighting MannyP, thus the deliberately ambiguous means of vague description, which never mentioned his name. mayweather is a cunning fraud in all his dealings, always has been, loves to get the better of everybody.

As for Pacquiao, if you understood the nature of his cut, you'd realise that he can't take any chance that the cut might re-open and cause him to lose a fight. For him to lose a fight is much more damaging and costly than for Mayweather to lose. As a global entity he's on a completely different level.

The cut was very deep, to the bone, requiring 3 full layers of stitching, 8 stitches at the bottom, 8 in the middle level and 12 to close the top. A complex affair.

Shut the hell up. Seriously. Just go to sleep.

look at this non sense....*******.

[PAC-BOY]

In my opinion, BOTH sides are to blame here.

Wtf is up with GBP announcing and lining up a fight for Mayweather without waiting for Top Rank. Canelo or The ghost? wtfx? Nobody wants to see that ****.

Obviously we all know the Pac side with lying scumbag Arum.

Seriously I think both sides are milking the public dry with these PPV's. Who knows.. I'm getting tired of all this crap. If the fight doesn't happen in spring, both sides are to blame

this is about the smartest post yet!

[bMak]

There was blame on Floyd at one time. Since then, Team Pacquiao has outed themselves with constant lies, contradictions, poor performance, double-talk, excuses, and eventually, today, the white flag. Show's over.

I'm sure this is the same delusional racist sack of **** that claims to be a medical expert.

Floyd shouldn't have ducked Margarito when he was offered all that money. Ducking Margarito made Antonio a worthy opponent and Pacquiao earned praise for fighting another fighter Mayweather wouldn't. The list grows every year.
