Comments Thread For: Photo: Mayweather Slams Pacquiao With Christmas Jab

No not at all, he's "weak minded" because whenever he's asked after a fight who he wants next he says talk to Bob Arum, his promoter.



Belts don't mean anything to Mayweather and I'm not sure dominance like his is good for the sport. I don't think you should have one guy at the top, even Mayweather dictating what sanctioning bodies should do. When Floyd says he's bigger than the belts he inadvertently disparages all of the hardworking fighters out there trying to make a living plying their trade hoping for a shot at a title, not just Mayweather.

Mayweather's no coward, indeed he's exactly the opposite. But I disagree with Floyd, the belts mean something if for no other reason than some of his heroes fought and bled for

Right.........

Dude, no one did everything they could to make that fight happen. Congratulations, Now your getting It. No need to Insinuate ,as you did in an earlier post that only Mayweather was willing to negotiate and that the responsability Is always placed on Floyd. As you just said, neither side did what they needed to do to make the fight happen so why were you being biased?

Referring to my "insinuations," I was referring to the "gimmickry" of promotion. So in terms of the superficials, Mayweather looks good to me, i.e. the one who’s actually putting forth a good faith effort to make the fight (which isn’t real because he knows the fight won’t happen as long as Manny’s with Arum.) Its all a show dude.

So what I'm saying, for people that are paying attention, it’s up to Manny ultimately and he decided to sign with a promoter that didn't get him or wanted the Mayweather fight before that, hmmmmmm. If TR and GB don't do business and all it would take is Manny leaving TR, why did he sign with Arum again?

[AVDB]

Well you failed the seriousness test with an F- I'm afraid, no Arum is not ready to do business, he's never been ready to do business and the thought that this was even possible was moronic in its inception. Arum is ready to do business as you said, but sadly its with his own stable of regurgitated matchmaking for Manny. When will fans understand that simply because Bob Arum represents Pacquiao doesn't mean he's a nut mollusk, he's out to make a buck any way that he can. Arum isn't a social worker, what does he care if Manny's broke and sucking ****s for a living in Manila?

You're TR or GB's accountant I take it? You sound dumb presuming you know Arum makes more money without a PAC/May happening. Like I said earlier, biggest fight in boxing history > PAC fighting within top rank stable a few more times (financially speaking for even Arum)

The heck is with you and mollusks?

If I've been all over the board you're still utterly clueless, I'm assuming its willfully so. Dude, no one did everything they could to make that fight happen, only fight fans want it this bad. Offers were made and rejected, something pretty standard in a negotiation only lunatics hype it up to be the end of the world. Don't you understand that most BASIC concept, seriously? A promoter's priorities are radically different than a fan's, do you not understand this?

TR and GB are different promotional companies, can you recount a time they worked together amicably outside of Mayweather?

Lennox Lewis vs mike tyson. Super fights tend to be worth it when the fighters aren't afraid

Calling it as I see it, you gave into peer pressure. You felt you needed to give in to the "uncivil mood on these forums." I'm arguing with opinions and facts and you're replying with ad hominem attacks and general statements. Everything quoted above is cheese written just for the sake of replying. That's besides the point I made earlier. I gave a figure that I wanted your reasons for disagreeing with. I didn't get 'em.

I didn't give into peer pressure since I'm not an addled minded teen looking for belonging. I made a judgment call based on the environment and I'm okay with that. I gave my reasons as clear as day, but that isn't the same as you accepting them, you have your logic and its fine but remember, you don't have to be here, unless you're chained to your keyboard.

I'm telling the facts as I see them, and stop generalizing yourself like you keep doing with my replies by turning everything into an "ad hominem" attack, learn to be specific about your criticisms and differentiate between the two.

[AgainstTheRopes]

Arum is protecting Pacquiao as much as Mayweather's protecting himself. That much is obvious.

[ThePunchingBag]

Green K for whoever finds me proof that Pacquiao has ever insulted Floyd directly.

You sound dumber by not being able to infer simple conclusions from the facts on hand. Oh, "nut mollusks" are slimey little creatures that feed on the sweat of someone's balls, most notably Manny Pacquiao's.

Manny would **** his ass no other reason for ducking that fight mayweather is a punk-ass coward plain and simple go make a fraction and fight Khan in a completley meaningless and unwarranted fight punk-assweather...
