Pac's last fight was against a JWW moving up. His promoter robbed manny in order to create the need for a rematch because that promoter and manny want floyd to give manny more than he is worth for a fight.

If manny were a true champion, he'd have taken the offer he wanst now when it was on the table in Dec09, not wait another 6 months to allegedly agree to it until after it was taken off the table.

Manny's fans are happy he keeps refusing to fight floyd. after seeing him struggle for the 3rd time with JMM when he manny had every advantage and was supposed to KO JMM.

What kind of champion fights a guy he beat 3 times a 4th time?

Reality is, there's no one there for Paq. No one is crazy enough to get in the ring and fight to beat him decisively. Starting from Clotty, interrupted briefly by Margs, every fight of Paq consists of an opponent who will just fight to survive. That's why Paq just need to pick whoever he chooses to fight just like Marques figthing exhibition matches against bums and cab drivers.

Floyd is irrelevant when it comes to Paq. So if the fight never happens, Floyd is doomed to a legacy of avoidance and self-preservation.

so irrelevant that everytime pac fights, he and his promoter float fake stories about they tried to make a mayweather fight. so irrelevant tha manny turned down $40 mil guarantee to fight him.

Yeah floyd's irrelevant.

I'm just saying Floyd and Paq should no longer be in the same sentence. Whole world has moved on. Even Floyd fans don't want this fight. All they have talked about are roadblocks, ie, Paq should accept this, Paq needs to do this, Paq should bow down to the Lord Saviour Floyd... yada yada. You'll hear nothing from them that involves Floyd giving up something to make the figth happen. Meaning, fans of Floyd don't want this fight.

It's better to not bring it up. Ironically, they're the first to bring it up in any thread.

Floyd fans absolutely want the fight. All they ask is why Manny didn't accept the same deal in Dec09 that he wants now.

The part of your post about floyd "giving up something" makes little sense because he gave manny everything manny wanted and because Manny has said he would agree to the same deal he refused previously. SO what should floyd fans ask him to give up?

Unless "giving up something" means the request for OSDT. I can't understand why manny or his fans would ask that floyd give that up to make the fight.

Balderdash !!!!

Arum is full of you know what !!!!!!!

First , Pac KO'd Cotto , made him quit first :

What good would a rematch do ? NOTHING BUT MONEY

2nd , PAC made a slick black African American ELITE PRIME and UNDEFEATED look like a school boy, was totally WHUPPED !!

Why the rematch ? for redemption NO, for the title back , maybe, for MONEY , yes, ARUM the Scum bag said it !!!!!!!

The only fight he has is not with Bradley but the judges !!!!!!!!

3rd Pac won every fight with JMM, the last was 8 to 4, don't be so blinded by HATE !!!!!!!!!!

There is no reason for #4 except for MONEY

There is only "ONE" fight for PAC in NOV and thats Mayweather.

TMT can make it for NOV

Watch for the DUCK to QUACK as soon as he is released !!!!!!!!!!

So the most lucrative fight in boxing history, the one that could move the sport more into the mainstream, is being held up by 2 harvrad grads, one black, one ***ish. Historically, black and ***ish harvard grads have worked together on everything from equal housing to voting laws. But they beef over boxing! LOL

And I thought swordfighting at Harvard was only epee and foil!

this isn't about race

this is about what Bob perceived to be done to him by Haymon

simple as that this time

I'm not saying it is. I'm just laughing at the fact that two harvard grads, who you'd think would work well together, are holding up a boxing match.

The most important fight for Manny is Tim Bradley. This is unfinished business. Regardless if you think Manny won and has nothing to prove he needs to fight Bradley but honestly I strongly believe Tim will beat him decisively if they meet again.

Totally agreed. Manny has and always will be very predictable to good "Boxers". Hell kill any "Brawler" tho...

Yeah, Bradley predicted way in advance he'd be in a wheelchair and sidelined due to injury after fighting Pacquiao.

You killed em with that line! That's a question that Pacquiao fans will never be able to explain. You need 4 fights to prove you can beat a 39 year old lightweight???
