Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[SeekDaGreat]

Exactly, he opened his mouth when he should've kept it shut. This time he's keeping it shut (so far) and you decided that means he doesn't want the fight. OK.

if he does say anything, I hope you interpret it as wanting the fight.

If he says I want to fight Manny Pacquiao next or I will beat Manny, or something along those lines. Or tells Manny his phone line is open 24-7,

Then I will say yes, it sounds like he wants the fight.

And let's get the negotiations on the road, since both parties verbally agreed they would want the fight, currently.

Hilarious...............

Notice how it's no longer a legitimate discussion when Manny's being talked about? But for some reason they want to keep it a full blown discussion when it's Floyd that's being bad mouthed.

Yeah, it is ABSOLUTELY OKAY for Manny to prove that he's great he should accept a straight fee + no % of the PPV revenue...going by Floyd's current demands he would want Manny to wear bigger gloves as well..because boxing is a "business", he the A side Manny the B side.

Don't twist it- floyd accepted a relatively bad deal, with the glove choice demanded from ODH, and won the fight like great fighters do.

Why can't manny do same? He doesn't even have to go up in weight, unless floyd asks for the fight at 154, which again, is what ODH did.

I know its tough to answer-maybe you just don't think Manny could do same. maybe you don't feel he has to. That's ok too.

Was Mayweather in 2007 in the same position Pacquiao was in in 2012?

No.

But you knew that.

lol at these floyd spastics still mentioning the $40 million offer from chicken floyd. it's as if their hero was doing it for charity. their guy doesn't even deserve the kind of money he's getting today. the huge interest was pure luck. fans of hoya started following him around to see him lose because he ducked the rematch. dlh's fans were pissed. fraud pulled fake retirements when the competition was getting tough, sneaked in and out of ring once a year, which made him a huge mystery, thus more fans wanting to see him lose.

i wouldn't give these boring fraud 30 split if i were pacman. pacman saved the sport while the fraud was in retirement. fraud became even bigger when he was associated with the world's superstar of boxing.

No.

Hence the use of the word -RELATIVELY.

Floyd had never made $25 mil and no other chance to make that much. Manny, who is a FAR bigger ppv seller than floyd was in 2007, has no other chance to make $40 mil, with PPV. SO they are in the same relative position.

SO its simple-you can make more than you ever have, be dictated to in negotiations, have your gloves chosen for you, agree to it all and go out and win like floyd did with ODH OR you can refuse like Manny did with floyd.

Floyd accepting a bad deal of gloves is his fault (it was a pussay move on Oscar's part, but at the same time Floyd is responsible because he accepted with no protest). That doesn't make it alright for Floyd to go around handing out bad deals to the fighters he's facing (Maidana for the 2nd time)..stuff like this isn't acceptable just because you were at the end of the bad deal once.

Stuff like this isn't hard to answer by any means...when it comes to gloves, let the commission do their job. It's as easy as right & wrong...there's no justifying the wrong in the sport.

I created a thread asking users to vote Yes/No for if they thought they were OK if this glove manipulation thing became a standard in all fights where A side picked the gloves for B side...you clearly voted for Yes.

I know its tough to answer-maybe you just don't think Floyd could beat fighters on a level playing field anymore which is why he makes unreasonable demands which are unheard of in the sport. Maybe you don't feel he has to. That's ok too.
