Comments Thread For: Photo: Floyd Mayweather Tweeting Challenge To Pacquiao

[ny123]

floyd isnt a psychic. when ppl say things like this it is obvious they seem to think floyd has some supernatural powers. hes just a great boxer. otherwise, he knows just as much about what mannys gonna do as the rest of us. theres no way he would launch a public campaign like this if he wasnt serious. thatd be highly foolish and thats the reason he has a press team.

My opinion has nothing to do with him being a psychic it is because he knows how Top Rank and Bob operate and the real way to negotiate is to have your serious advisors speak to Top Ranks head guys and make the fight that way not by calling Pac a punk on twitter. I dont follow this as close as u guys do but didn't Arum already give excuses why Manny wouldn't be ready before this tweet came out?

[leonthegee]

Imo Floyd knows that Arum has no intention of letting Pac fight Floyd May 5th because Arum wants another payday for Top Rank before he takes that huge risk with Floyd and he wants to maximize profits by fighting in a larger venue. I think because of this Floyd has pulled this pr stunt on twitter while doing his real negotiating with guys like Guerrero and Canelo.

You really think its the stadium now? I thought it was because the cut over his eye wasnt healed. Slob Arum has spoon fed the media bull**** after bull**** and fans eat it up. It was easy to do when Floyd was quite and stood by his I dont have to call anybody out rep.

Now its harder for Slob to put a spin on things now that Floyd has decided to go public, because Floyds unpredictable in and out of the ring. You never know what stunt Floyds gonna pull off. I wouldnt be surprized if TR says nothing from here on out. Maximise profits my as$. Floyds date was announced before Manny/Marquez 3. Theres been plenty of time to get a new stadium built. Hes ruining the fighter that he built up.

I do believe Arum is trying to milk Manny as much as possible before he risks him against Floyd but I do also believe that Arum is trying to secure those extra seats for the money that could be made.

Your right Floyds know Slob and TR. So why the hell is Micheal Konz showing up at the Maweather gym taking pictures with Floyd? Is that how TR and Slob Arum negotiate?

[TOBYLEE1]

So now the new excuse from Arum is that the venue is too small.

He throws out there that making the outdoor arena is going to pull an additional 40 million dollars that they would split 20 a piece.

It simply doesn't work that way that they would collect 20 million, Yup good ol Bob is so worried about both fighters not maximizing their earnings and wants to make sure they get every penny they can. Yeah rite.

He is just throwing those big numbers out there to further entice Manny not to take the fight.

There is no guarantee that the arena would get build on time the first place

[LOWBLOW_CHAMP]

manny needs to jus go ahead and say hes ready and its mayweather or nothing! we have all waited to long the time is NOW! lol floyd has finally started saying more and more about the fight and now he is even saying his name over and over. say what you want but floyd is the one trying to bring up the fight we all know he is fighting may 5th no matter what who else is there to fight?!

[LeoReyes]

Has anyone discussed the idea that Team Pac might be trying to trick Mayweather into moving off of the 5th, just so they can try to sneak in and steal that date?

[DocG]

Why tweet Floydie???......tweeting is for little birds like you....

Man up!!! ....if you're really serious.... state your demands in a contract and send it to Pacman!!!

[amayseng]

well i would have rather seen floyd get a national interview on espn and call out pac but this is better than nothing

pac better take the fight, cant let him call him out like that.

floyd needs to publicly apologize for slandering pac and pac should drop the defamation suit

i dont think floyd would want his accomplishments tainted by peds either..

pac should be seeing the surgeon today and getting the go ahead for a may 5 date..

may 5 make it happen, then in the rematch build a bigger arena because

this will be an exciting fight, floyd at 35 cant use his legs as much so he

will be there to be hit and fight...


make the freaking thing happen before EVERYONE ON THIS FIGHT LEAVES

BOXING FOR THE DAMN UFC

NO EXCUSES FROM EITHER SIDE

Should be interesting to see how these *******s rationalize it to themselves when Manny turns down a May 5th fight.
