Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: My Son Wants Me To Fight Mayweather, Retire

[Pass...SoCal]

It's like RJJ-Hopkins all over again..

"Sixty-fo'ty! Sixty-fo'ty! Sixty-fo'ty!"

And what happened? The never fought!(I don't count "Grumpier Old Men 3" when the faced eachother 10 years too late)

It blows my mind that even after the ridiculous amount of excuses that came out of Pacquiaos camp the last 2 months that people are still blaming Floyd for the fight not happening - as if Top Rank was ever serious about making a fight with Floyd to begin with. Floyd and Pacquiao had a 2 minute conversation. Floyd is obviously a promoter and wants to make the most money possible. We can't say for sure whether or not Floyd ACTUALLY wouldn't accept a 50/50 split because Top Rank didn't want to negotiate with Mayweather's camp.

That said, I'm not really surprised that people will fall for whatever spin Pacquiaos camp comes up with. At least Floyd had the balls to admit that he offered Pacquiao 40 million dollars and live with the consequences. Pacquiao and his camp have fabricated so many stories that its insulting to anyone with any hint of intelligence.

cant because the chickin**** wont fight him. Its hard for children to understand that your daddy is a beast and Floyds scared. youre 100% right!

Ok,ok, I got one question for you. When was the last time Bob Arum allowed any other fighter promoted by anyone else, fight a Top Rank fighter?

Couple of months ago it was about drug testing. Floyd apologists even demanded that Pac should not be allowed to train in his country. Now Floyd came up with another roadblock again. Poor Mayweather fans. Have to wonder how long these die hard fans of his give up and when they'll get it.

Man Pac STILL wont take that test...they just said that in the media, when it comes down to it, they wont take any test...I dont believe anything his camp says, cuz they always lie

My Boy you need to think this....If it is worth $$$$$Millions do you think you will lie just to miss the bling bling?????

Couple of months ago it was about being scared of needles and refusing to take PEDs tests. Manny apologists even demanded that he would take the smaller portion of the purse. Now Manny came up with another roadblock again. Stadiums being built, backing out of smaller purse claim, and the list goes on. Poor Pacroid fans. Have to wonder how long these die hard fans of his give up and when they'll get it.

children are not dumb. I don't know if you have or been around any but kids are pure minded and see things for what they are. If he sees his dad as this big boxing star and considered the best but is not trying to fight the other guy who is a big boxing star and considered the best, then of course he is going to ask his father why and that he should fight Floyd. He is not worried about if Floyd is scared because all he is thinking about is WHY doesn't his father fight and beat him. I honestly and wholeheartedly think that Pac wants the fight but Arum won't let him take it.

Arum hates Floyd and Golden Boy. Arum doesn't like to break bread with any other promoter because he likes keeps the majority of the money. I just don't understand how Pac supporters can continue to make excuses for Pac and Arum when these guys lied multiple times in and through the media? Floyd may be a diva and annoying in many ways but no one should be walking around saying that he didn't want this fight. The only thing Floyd is guilty of is wanting Pac to take a random blood test and not accepting 50/50.

He could have but he didn't. I say do 50/50 but it ain't about what I say or feel. Fact of the matter is that Floyd makes more money per fight than Pac does no matter how popular or well liked Manny is. I can't believe Pac fans are disregarding Arum making excuses about May 5th,like Manny's cut needing to heal and the out door stadium but mean while when they thought Floyd was going to jail they were ready to snatch his day up for a possible fight with Marquez? Add the fact that Pac wanted to fight Cotto at another uncomfortable weight class that best suited him. Manny ain't no angel people.

Bob's cut, what do you think Manny pays him for?

PROMOTING

and what is promoting?

advertisements, insurance, tv ads, etc

It fun taking you guys to school.

I should be charging you tuition fees for this.

Damn dude are you ******ed, what the **** do you think 27.5% is Bobs, Floyd doesn't have this issue, therefore Manny will never make Floyd money, nor should he expect it with Bob

[el salsalero]

I thought he offered manny too little when he offered him $40 mil. SO which is t?

Yes he did, Void wanted all, the bigger cut, the PPV money Poor soul, so what are you confused about?

Void is doing everything in his power............................to DUCK MannyPac.

Dont blame Bob hes not coming up with ****** dollar $ amounts. If anything he wants to make more money for everyone! Floyd is the only one that is handing out idiotic deals that youd have to be full blown idiot to take. Floyd know what he is doing. He knows what will fly and what wont. Deal Breakers! Bob aint got **** to do with it. Manny says he wants the fight if the revenue is split and thats that!
