Pacquiao to Mayweather "if im old, im a easy fight, fight me"

[itsafight]

Pac should have had this aggressive attitude 3 years ago. He was too much of a nice guy not calling people out etc.. ''Talk to Bob Arum'' dude should have called him out aggressively like this before and then maybe we could have had the fight. I think both of these guys ducked each other when the fight should have been made.

Floyd" manny must take a 14 day cut off"

a few months later

manny accepts a 14 day cut off

Floyd "I am spending time with my family and now manny must have a 0 day cut off"

a few months later

manny accepts a 0 day cut off

Floyd "manny must take accept less than 50-50 split" despite his ppv sales increasing, despite say mannys last fight vs marquez doing better than floyds last fight vs guerrero

a few months later

manny accepts less than 50-50

floyd "manny must now sign for my promotion company and fight a few time before he can fight me"

the boxing world

wtf

one man ducked this fight with excuses after excuse


that is floyd

Great job of twisting the truth to make Manny Pacquaio look like something other than a dumb, PED using has-been who has suffered three one-punch knockouts in his career.

The next big fight will be against the Garcia-Matthyse winner. Regardless of how much you hope he doesnt get that most likely will be the next fight.

Hell he made 32 Million against Guerrero.

He did, but Showtime also didn't really benefit financially from that fight because of Floyd's guarantee, gate, ppv %. To me, had the Guerrero fight surpassed expectations I truly don't think the Canelo fight would be happening this soon as that fight a year or two from now could've been explosive (though it's still pretty intriguing). As it stands Garcia and Matthysse seem to be the runners up but at some point both he and Pacquiao are going to look for that big cash out and if both win, ironically it's still a viable fight (for casual fans at least and for Floyd and Pac's bank accounts)

[maguirre]

40 million on a fight that would have generated 120+ million in purse money is a joke offer.

You should know that.

Plus, when this fight first grew legs, Pacquiao was in the drivers seat and the #1 p4p in the world.

But but Floyd worshipers are some kind of idiots or something. They actually believe their boring idol deserve all the money he's getting now. His PPV numbers are driven by people wanting to see him lose.

Floyd bought out his contract because he wanted the fight with De La Hoya which is the fight that made Floyd a crossover star. Manny became a crossover star WITHOUT fighting Floyd. Manny doesn't need to chase Mayweather and vice versa, hence why the fight in itself wasn't easy at all to make. Of course he'd love the payday, but he doesn't need to put on shackles just to get it.

Also, looking at Floyd's next 3-4 fights, you really think Floyd's team are STILL not going to consider that fight being it still trumps any other opponent besides Canelo financially? People make it seem like Manny's desperate, but what's the next BIG fight for Floyd if he clearly beats Canelo? He's gonna get a guaranteed $35 -40 Million to fight Garcia or Matthysse?

I don't want to get into a flame thing like I am with Makavelli. Its pointless. Lets keep this professional.

You are right, Manny doesn't need floyd to be a star, but Manny is still the B side. Floyd is clearly making it as difficult as possible for the fight IMO because Manny did it in 09. I'm not defending it or saying its right, but is it fair to get mad at one and not the other?

Floyd does not seem to have more big payday options if he stays at showtime. But GBP/SHo are building up competitors. The manny fight will pay floyd more yes.

The thing is both men want the fight on their terms and their terms only. They both play the leverage game. Floyd could very easily craft an offer to make this fight easy to sign. But manny could easily accept the crap offer, as others have, to make the fight.

So long as we hold both accountable I'm cool.

Lemme guess he has a fight to promote right? They couldve fought 3 times by now had ne not sued and just took the damn tests from the get go.

someone tell Manny that he has to;


1. take the tests
2. take 0% of the ppv
3. leave Arum
4. fight for TMT


until he does all that, he's ducking Floyd...Floyd gave him a 25min window 4 years ago and PAC blew it

You two have been on Floyd's and Manny's coqs for so long, how about you negotiate the fight during foursome orgy-sex in an MGM Grand hotel room.

Pac was never truly number 1

Anyway Floyd fighting in the 2nd biggest fight of the deacde, 1st also included him, and Manny is fighting in China on a Sunday morning for the American public so he can not pay high taxes. I dont even see why he should still be considered right now but he can keep begging

Yes he was #1, and for a while too while Floyd semi-retired and fought once in like 2 years time. Also, up until he lost to Bradley (not really) he even shared the top spot with Floyd for a good while.

Don't try and rewrite history now.
