Comments Thread For: Mayweather Dares Pacquiao: Step Up and Fight You Punk!

The only way to get Floyd to the ring to fight Pacquiao.

[John Barron]

Pac should not even respond to Mayweather. Floyd doesn't call the shots, Manny does. Make Floyd fight someone else so that his game plan will be all messed up trying to train for someone he's not familiar with, besides he made Manny wait for him, so return the favor and make jailbird (Floyd) wait.

so you'd rather prefer more posturing than actually seeing this fight happen?

WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. is taking the battle to Twitter. The boxer has started attacking Manny Pacquiao by daring the Filipino superstar to accept his challenge for a May 5th battle at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Finally - I mean we all waited now to hear this stuff for about 3 years or what...

Pacquiao will tell Arum that he wants Mayweather finally - it is about time that Manny doesn't let the matchmaking slip to Arum who absolutely made Pacquiao look bad...

And Mayweather says as well let's get it on - if he goes to jail I guess he wanted to be treated as a hero and ain't wanted to answer all the questions about the inmates about Pacquiao...

Perfect Timing...

Let's get it on FINALLY :-)

I am with the earlier poster who reminded us that Pacquiao nearly killed Hatton/Hoya because of his demands..... if Pac doesn't fight Mayweather, it is because he does not want to, and no other reason.

I agree tht Pacquiao is the 1 who is ultimately in charge, but the perception is that he does what he's told for the most part.

floyd is just hyping Guerrero. If I was the ghost, I'll ask a $1.000.000 step aside fee. No sweat, easy money, done like a real ghost!

Mayweather called out Pacquiao for May 5th before he was ever convicted of anything, and Arum had nothing but excuses. Did you forget? That nonsense about the cut not being healed in time is just another excuse, Pacquiao has said that his cut is fine and that he's cool with May 5th. If Pacquiao is serious and is the 1 who calls the shots then there shouldn't be a least of options, Mayweather on May 5th should be the only option. Why should Mayweather sit around and try to call Arum's bluff when Pacquiao is publicly stating that he's cool with everything and wants to fight on May 5th? If Arum doesn't reach out to Mayweather to make the fight for May 5th immediately then it's in Pacquiao. Simple as that.

If Pacquiao says the cut is fine, then it is fine.

But Floyd should not be looking at Guerrero and others if he really wants this fight?

But he is and more than looking, and it looks like a fight with Guerrero will be signed very soon.

Again, if Floyd and his fans are serious about wanting this fight to happen, why not just agree with changing the date to the end of May? That's not a big deal. Pac agreed to Floyd's testing and is willing to accept a smaller purse, so why not give him the benefit of the doubt that he needs more time to be sure that the cut is completely healed?

What's so important that it has to be on May 5 or no fight?

Floyd fans, including those who placed me on ignore, can you give a good reason for this?

[LeadUppercut]

Arum had 4 names in mind for Pacquiao before Floyd's 11th hour reprieved.

So fkn what ?

" Floyd's 11th hour reprieve " rendered those names irrelevant.

Pacquiao told Arum he wants Mayweather to be on top of that list this week.

Stop being so ******, Pac needs to burn that fkn list and fight Floyd.

Arum has said that Pacquiao cut won't allow him to fight in early May.

Again, stop being so ******.....
1.) Arum was happy for Pacquiao to fight Marquez on May 5th
2.) Manny's cut will obviously heal in time for May 5th
3.) Manny himself confirmed that the cut is not a problem

Floyd goes to jail June 1st.

A fight on May 5th will not take 3.5 weeks to complete, so what ?

I don't get your point there ?

Floyd could call Arum's bluff and have the fight in late or mid May.

I don't have a problem with that, but WHAT IS WRONG WITH MAY 5th?

Does Manny really want that fight, or were his earlier statements just more Pac-dribble?

If Arum is getting back this week from meeting with Pacquiao, should Floyd wait for that before announcing his next opponent, if he really wants Pacquiao?

Mayweather is extremely limited with time due to his legal situation, and Bob Arum and Manny Pacquiao are well-aware of that fact. If Manny's earlier comment is to be taken seriously, and he really does want to fight Mayweather, then why is he even considering those other 4 opponents?

According to Manny, May 5th is fine, and his cut is fine, so if he doesn't fight Mayweather next, then that is a blatant duck, no question.

Pac dont want none of Mayweather, and his earlier statement was utter bull**** spoken to placate his ignorant fanbase. And that is not the first time that he has been caught blatantly lying to the Filipino media.

Otherwise, as soon as Manny heard that Mayweather was available he would have instructed Bob to forget the list, get on a plane, and lets make the Mayweather fight.

All of the ridiculous excuses that you endorse from Bob Arum, are absurd, and just make you look silly.

[LeadUppercut]

I want $10 million for every pound you are over 147lbs

If I was to willingly accept your absurd proposal, there would obviously be no question as to how serious I am to make that fight, correct?

To be honest, I tried to look for a direct quote from Pac where he says he is good with May 5, but I could not find any.
So just to have no disagreements on this, kindly show the link.
