Why Won’t Floyd Mayweather Pick Up His ‘Easy’ $75 Mil and Fight Manny Pacquiao?

[ADP02]

Pacquiao has walked away from the biggest payday of his career - TWICE. Maybe that's why Pacquiao's resume above 130 is so weak. He ducks and dodges his toughest challenges...

May I remind you of what Floyd's team and his fans said when a fighter caves in to Floyd's demands: "Canelo's team is to blame for accepting the 152 CW. It's not Floyd's fault for talking advantage of the situation"

or when Marquez came up from 130 the year before to fighting Floyd at WW while Floyd came it at his usual WW weight "Marquez is #2 P4P fighter so its legit"

What you don't mention is that each time Floyd came up with a new roadblock that Manny had to accept.

[ADP02]

No he didn't ever agree to anything. He would say he did, but turn around and recant after supposedly "agreeing".

And what do you mean Floyd's version? Manny's doing the same exact thing with Rios. You need to change it to Manny's version.

See that is the problem with Floyd fans. We are in 2013 and they still say that "Manny never agreed to drug testing" ..... it's like they have amnesia when this topic is ever brought up.

So explain to me why after Manny supposedly "agreed" to all proposed testing requirements from Team Mayweather, he was still talking about the commission doing their job?

The demand isn't there? You sure?

ESPN Poll, 58% Want Floyd Mayweather to fight Pac

In a recent poll conducted by ESPN's Sports Nation, Boxing fans were asked to vote on who they feel should be Floyd 'Money' Mayweather Jr's next foe? With nearly 40,000 votes tabulated thus far (the polling is still ongoing) a whopping 58% (really should come as no surprise) want Mayweather Jr. to face off against none other than the 'Pacman', Manny Pacquiao.

The next highest name on the list is Danny Garcia, and he pulled in 18% of the votes followed by Adrien Broner with 12%.

Amir Khan edged out of the last spot with 7% of the votes just coming in ahead of Miguel Cotto with 5%.

58% of the votes from a calculated 39,782 cast votes is a lot and speaks volumes that even to this day a majority of fans truly believe there is unfinished business between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.

And let's face it... if Mayweather vs. Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has become the highest grossing PPV to this date (as the SHOWTIME press release sent out yesterday indicated it had)... I imagine Pacquiao vs. Mayweather can and would surpass #THEONE in terms of PPV sales.

So fans, if you still want Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, keep your voices heard... and at 58%, there is a lot of you.

Just remember not to use the "Manny is a shot fighter" excuse if this fight gets made and Mayweather schools him.

You guys keep thinking "Floyd has a weakness with southpaws", this, that and the other...the truth is-nearly every southpaw he has fought has been put down or severely outclassed.

Manny won't be able to close the distance, won't be able to fight on the inside and won't be able to hit Mayweather. ...not without chopping his legs off. Pac is the smaller guy who's speed and work rate have declined....


Pac is great, but Floyd is on another level imo.

When randomized drug testing was a road block for a few years, you would have blamed Floyd instead of Manny. IMO, drug testing should never have been declined.

When Pac gets a career high offer of $40 million dollars from Floyd (who you guys believed was scared of Manny, yet he personally called Pac), you say this was a lowball offer and Manny shouldn't have accepted it....tell me at any point in Manny's career where he has earned close to that figure or ever will!

At this point, if Floyd was to offer 30 million to Pac he should take it. Floyd will make big money regardless of who he fights.The only question is if he will break his record for earnings...meanwhile, Manny is getting ****d by Arum and hasn't broke any records financially or on ppvs for some time. Even his loyal fans from his own country are fading in interest.

pre-fight comment from Floyd couple of days before the cotto fight:

floyd: pacquiao you're next!

the next day:

floyd was asked about his comment the previous day concerning that he'll fight pacquiao next:

floyd (pissed off) to the interviewer: don't put words in to my mouth, i never said that...

[PAC-BOY]

Because Pacquiao is with top rank ... Why won't rios fight ortiz ? Rios fight garcia ? Bradley fight Mayweather ? Alvarado fight khan etc... It's always been about the promoters/greed. Mayweather has more going for him at this point. If manny ditches arum the fight happens no problem.

No No NO. It wont happen. Ever. No matter what. Just because Arum wont abide by Floyds dumb ass insane demands...itsall Arum...GTFO. Arum is a douche bag...for suuuuure! But he is still not a dumb businesses man and he is very resourceful. Arum has been in this business way before Floyd had pubic hair around his vagina! If Floyd WANTED this fight he would make it happen. He would work with Arum. Floyd is saying No fro many reasons...to many!

Floyd says Arum owes him money... seems like him and Arum hate each other... Floyd don't want Arum making big bank from this fight LOL

Didn't JMM put Pac to sleep?

It's obviously not an easy $75 million for Floyd.

Just leave Floyd alone guys.
