Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

They're not really bringing him up out of the blue though, are they? They've both been asked questions about each other for the past 5 years now constantly.

Seems out of the blue to me. Floyd isn't mentioning Pac at all.

What master thread idiot? This doesn't pertain to any one specific fight at all.

Why would Floyd use Pacquiao's name, when he is avoiding a fight with him?

When you're CURRENTLY avoiding someone, it makes perfect sense not to discuss them under any circumstances.

OBVIOUSLY.

I guess not everyone is smart enough to understand that, so I have no problem explaining it to them, and you TS.

Here are the most recent articles pertaining to one side mentioning the other side. As we all know, both Pac and Floyd have fights coming up. It's been claimed that they both use each other's names to promote their fights but that doesn't seem to be the case here. It's only Manny and members of his team/posse bringing up Floyd completely out of the blue. Take a look for yourself.

Pacquiao: I Can Make Mayweather Stand and Fight

WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KOs) is confident in his ability to make Floyd Mayweather Jr (46-0, 26 KOs), the WBC/WBA welterweight and junior middleweight champion, stand and fight. Pacquiao, who faces Chris Algieri on November 22nd in Macau, says Mayweather is too defensive of a fighter and moves around too much. The eight division champion would press the action and feels his style and aggression would give Mayweather no choice but to plant himself in one spot to fight.

WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38KOs) wants to fight his division rival, WBC/WBA champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26KOs), in 2015. After years of trying to make a deal, the two sides are not even close to an agreement. Their discussions have not even come close to a serious level since 2010. Pacquiao is willing to let Mayweather get the bigger share of the money and there is finally no issue regarding Mayweather's demand for Olympic style random drug testing.

Mayweather-Ariza Pact is No Threat, Says Roach

Roach has studied Mayweather's recent performances and believes the undefeated fighter has physically declined.

Freddie Roach, trainer of WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, says his fighter would face Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a unification at any weight required. Mayweather holds the WBC/WBA welterweight and junior middleweight titles. Pacquiao defends his title against Chris Algieri on November 22nd at the Venetian in Macau, China. Mayweather will face Marcos Maidana in a rematch on September 13th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Roach: Mayweather is a Little Shot, Better For Pacquiao

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach is convinced that WBC/WBA welterweight and junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26KOs) is well past his best. Roach, who trains WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, says their chances to win have increased based on Mayweather's claimed decline. Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who promotes Pacquiao, wants to make the mega-match in 2015. They have been unable to make the fight for the last few years.

Arum Eyes Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, Twice, in 2015

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum would love to stage not one, but two fights next year between welterweight champions Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. Arum told The San Francisco Chronicle that both networks, HBO and Showtime, are interested in staging the fight early next year. Mayweather has an exclusive multi-fight deal with Showtime and Pacquiao fights under HBO. But Arum, who promotes Pacquiao, believes the fight is big enough where both networks will work together side by side - as they did several years ago for the heavyweight super-fight between Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis.

Roach: I Fell Asleep During Mayweather-Maidana

http://www.boxingscene.com/roach-i-fell-asleep-during-mayweather-maidana--81644

Freddie Roach, trainer of WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, believes there is no reason for a rematch between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Marcos Maidana. The rematch, being carried by Showtime Pay-Per-View, is scheduled for September 13th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Maidana exceeded expectations in the first fight, which took place in May, by providing Mayweather with a much tougher challenge than expected. Mayweather won a twelve round majority decision with little to no controversy over the scoring.

Not one peep about Pacquiao from Floyd or members of his team anywhere to be found.

Dude, TR and Team Manny need to make it look like they want to fight Floyd. He'll talk his way into an offer than do what he does best-refuse the fight.

Floyd keeps taking jabs at Pacquiao during his press conferences. Floyd-Maidana 2 press conference..."he's got Marquez problems".

Most of your links are snippets from one press conference where reporters inevitably ask Pacquiao about Mayweather.

I agree that it's used to help hype the fight but both sides use each others names. For example, Sam Watson was talking about the Pacquiao fight happening a few weeks ago.

Floyd himself is very precious. Reporters run the risk of being blackballed if they ask him Pacquiao questions.

He refused 50/50 back in 2009 over a few drug tests. Can't believe he made such a ****** decision. But then again, it could have been a smart decision if there was something he was hiding. Testing dirty could have ruined his career.
