Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[hypodermical]

Floyd said leave your promoter and you have a fight, Manny signed an extension. End of story.

ya so telling pac to leave the promoter who he has a good relationship with and helped him become the star that he is now, and leave him out of the biggest payday in all of boxing history is reasonable.

Fighters on GBP are already talking about fighting Pacquiao which means they are willing to leave SHO and or GBP to do it

Seeing as Pac has money issues, he is the person that NEEDS Floyd..

Floyd and Showtime NEED Pacquiao. Not the other way around.

Floyd needs Pacquiao or his legacy will be a farce/a joke. Showtime needs Pacquiao so that they can finally make a profit for the dumbass deal they made with Mayweather.

PAC does the same ****. Or are we going to start this whole PAC ducking the entire GBP roster bull**** too?

[lets rumble]

Funny how it came outta freddy roach's mouth that manny was the one that stopped negotiating and now he re signs with bob arum .
Looks to me PAC is the one hiding

Totally unreasonable demand on Mayweather's part. If the fight isn't made because Pacquiao is with Arum, that's on Mayweather for imposing that condition.

Floyd don't give a fuck about the fight, Manny does, so if Manny really wanna fight, he has to do what's asked of him, period. If you claim that's the fight you want the most and you'll fight for charity and all this other bullshit, just do what the fuck Floyd ask you to do when he asks you to do it and we would have a fuckin fight. Not refuse, not come back 3 years later and say ok im ready now, No! You want the fight? Do what's asked of you or you don't really want the fight, period. Floyd has made it loud and clear he could give 2 shits if he has Manny's head on his resume, Pacquiao is the one who's begging for it.

Its amazing how us as fans, Floyd and his team; Schaeffer and some of GOldenboy and lots of the media ...make such a biiig deal about these promotional rifts.
But everyday boxers dont give two sh** about it and dont even pay one attention to all this drama. they just in the fighting business and ready to fight. Look at Pacquiao hes so oblivious to this whole mess and has so much hope that a fight can still happen with FLoyd....Same thing with Adrian Broner. THey asked him who he wants to fight next, and he said Pacquiao before he leaves the sport. Both not caring about what promotions or network there on. They just wanna fight the best.
Aint it good to see theres some boxers out there, that are old school and will jsut fight whoever? gotta give props to Broner and Pac for that

It seems that it is. There's a lot of pictures of his baby son and his other kids.

Oh wow, I didn't think it would be his official IG, but I guess he's trying to stir the pot!

Leonard Ellerbe, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions, said making a bout with Pacquiao is difficult because Mayweather as the A side and the biggest star would dictate terms. He said Arum wasn't used to being dictated to and would not agree to a deal in which Pacquiao would have to accede to all of Mayweather's wishes.

Marvelous Marvin Hagler did so in 1987 in order to make a bout with Sugar Ray Leonard. And Mayweather gave De La Hoya all the negotiating advantages for their May 5, 2007 fight ***8211; De La Hoya earning $23.3 million guaranteed plus upside from the pay-per-view; Mayweather was guaranteed $10 million plus upside ***8211; because De La Hoya was then the A side.

Who was making the Hager/SRL and Mayweather/Hoya comparisons? Iole or Ellerbe? Because that's a pretty ****ing ******ed comparison. The gulf in leverage between Pacquiao and Mayweather has been nowhere near the difference between Hagler and SRL/Mayweather and Hoya was.

It aint about being reasonable and it aint about being fair. It's about do you really want the fight, yeah, you'll fight for free? Ok, here are my terms, take it or leave it. Manny left it, period. Whether you agree with Floyd's stance or not, it's up to Manny to make the fight, he's the one that cares about it.
