Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[goodvibes]

I'm starting to lose a lot of respect for Dan Rafael through this whole thing. He's very clearly getting most of his information from Top Rank, and has been extremely bias through this whole period. He hasn't reported much of any actual NEWS, and has most commonly only given his opinion, which isn't his job.

Yeah. Dan Rafael does say a lot of wish washy stuff, but atleast he has a source. It is technically impossible for him to know what is ACTUALLY going on because he is not involved in the negotiations. Everything he gives us is 3rd hand knowledge, but I would much rather take insight from him then a random guy on the internet.

Point is, the only people that have given us any word on progress between negotiations are Stephen Espinoza and Dan. But make sure to turn your bias filter on whenever we hear from either.

This fight will happen because Mayweather knows it has too. His fans are demanding it so he will deliver it. Last time we demanded Mayweather fight a certain opponent, he did. He will deliver for his fans again.

P.S. Last time we demanded this was the Mosley fight.

Well didn't the fans actually vote for Amir Khan instead of Maidana on the TMT website?
The fans chose Khan and he gave us someone else.


Not saying the fight won't happen, but the fans actually got more involved by actually getting to vote and Floyd didn't follow through with the one that fans picked.

You think that Floyd has his fans in mind when he picks and choses his opponents? Floyd said BEFORE the fight that "Mosley is now OLD."

Even with Manny, he said recently that he doesn't see the same Manny. So that is why I think it has a better chance in 2015 compared to 2009/2010 and 2012.

Don't be an idiot. Every other poll on the internet had Maidana over Khan by a 65%-35% margin. Literally the only poll on the internet that had Khan winning was the TMT poll which everyone said was rigged.

Mayweather-Maidana I was a great fight. Last time Pacquiao was engaged in such an exciting fight he spent the night snoring on the canvas.

I don't think you're helping prove a point by saying the TMT poll was rigged.
You saying TMT rigged it to pick Khan so they could pick Maidana?

It doesn't matter if its a great fight, the TMT site said Khan was going to be picked.

Rafael showing his bias again. SMH.

Only source I truly trust is Lance Pugmire

Even Pugmire insinuated that Floyd was lying.

Even Pugmire insinuated that Floyd was lying.

Yeah, Pugmire also said Pacquiao had signed somethings. So maybe it's true this time but i have my doubts. just saying remarks like that by rafael shows bias.

But fat dan said stephen espinoza isn't lying.

If anyone's wondering about Pugmire's credibility, he is the Ducks beat writer.

Dan is looking like a total idiot right now.
