Are Floyds fans scared to put him in with Manny?

[786]

Not a hardcore fan of either and in 2013 I'm sick of this conversation. I enjoy watching both fighters for different reasons. I believe Pac/Arum are just as much to blame as Floyd for the fight not happening.

Having said that, to answer the OP's question: Pac fans seem to still want this fight to happen, regardless of Pac's decline/losses recently whereas Floyd fans seem to be desperate for the fight to not happen. Always making excuses why it shouldn't happen, I've seen posts in here recently pretty much saying Khan is more deserving of a shot than Manny?! The floyd/Pac fight lost its appeal a few years ago and I think now, Floyd schools him but to say Khan is more deserving of a shot and Pac has to beat Bradley and Marquez back to back before being considered is absolutely ridiculous.

Not a knock on either fighter and the reasons for the fight not being made are more business/political than either one being scared of each other but the fans? Floyd fans are terrified of this fight and are always desperately looking for reasons for this fight to not happen.

There are tons of videos up there you can watch about Floyd missing balls but then his floydiot fans still don't have a clue.

I do understand why you Pac fans are sticking to your story though. You really have nowhere to channel your anger since you can't talk to Floyd so the next best thing is Floyd's fans. It is a must that you question Floyd AND his fans hearts, lmao.

true!!!....this thread title is off the charts though....this is some next level type of **** LMFAO

I think Bradley deserves the fight more than Pacquiao though I'd rather see May-Pac first.

Everyone knows Bradley got a gift win and a big sum of money from the first fight with pac. 99% of the press saw bradley lose and the whole world to go with it. to the point that he had to go on a wheel chair.

Giving Bradley a 2nd shot is like offering him more money with a fight he doesn't deserve. It wasn't even close. You only fight a 2nd bout if it was close. The guy lost in the eyes of the majority. 99% of boxing press now Pac won that fight.

That said no more Bradley. No more Marquez as well, just retire PAc if Floyd won't show up. You've done enough for boxing.

This. If the two camps can't get it done this time (which I'm sure will be the end result), it's time. Hang it the f**k up. I mean what's the point? Fighting recycled opponents are second tier Top Rank fighters? F**k that.

It was fun but there's nothing left to prove outside of the fight we're still talking about that still has about a 0.000000001% chance of taking place.

You believe that? Just say Arum did not want the fight. That does not mean that Manny did not want the fight. It simply means that Bob Arum did not believe Manny could win, so he has been running a charade for years. Bob is protecting his investment. Amazingly, you all believe Bob Arum wants to make the fight, when he has proven over and over again that he does not. When he has said over and over again that he does not. Even Freddie Roach is hoping Arum will actually try to make the fight - Link - http://www.boxingscene.com/roach-may...ot-khan--72072

Now after all this, Why would a Floyd fan be scared of the fight being made. Maybe you should question why Bob Arum would not make the fight 4 years ago. Anyone who has followed this drama for 4 years is more than aware of where the fear lies. Bob Arum.

So why the need for all the comical goalpost shifting, if it's all Arum? Floyd loves bad PR? The narrowing test window, the vacations, 40m flat fee, no upside, Pac must sign with TMT and give Floyd a couple of fights, etc.

Too late, the narrative is already set in the mainstream. Tyson, Holmes, Hagler, all know who ducked whom. Like Dan Rafael says:

"I have people saying Floyd should fight GGG at 154. Um, OK. He wouldn't fight Pacquiao but he'd fight that beast? Please, people. #never"

Never have I seen, a dude as celebeated as fmj, put up so many roadblocks, to fight the one dude that would cement his name amongst the best from any era.

So yeah, fmj is scared. His pops is scared too.

and that is simply because fmj and his camp knows something their fans do not know and will likely never know or understand....

that pac is really a very big threat to fmj's 0.........

Manny turns down the fight twice and his fans come to the conclusion that floyd is scared. The man gets offered $40 mil guaranteed, turns it down, then takes two far easier fights that pay him $28 mil and then possibly $30 mil respectively.

WHen manny had a 50/50 split staring at him he turned that down too. Funny, but manny's pride always kicks in when there is a deal in front of him to fight.

Well, thats not completely true. Before floyd went to jail manny had no fight and when the possibility of fighting floyd in May came up, manny suddenly had a life altering cut that only the TR in house doctor, arum's son in law, said was too bad to fight.

Now when he knows floyd has the MGM reserved for May 5th weekend manny's team announces he will be back April 12th.

Typical.

This is the thing with me. Shane (19 days) did not ask for a cut off date so why was Pac worried about the cut off date? USADA knows when to stop the blood testing yet either Pac or Roach thought that they would get tested right up to the fight when the threat had to exist. You're not supposed to know that stuff.
It's random blood testing.
