lol at manny's team starting anything. Yea because floyd, his dad, and roger are the quiet, humble kind who dont say anything bad about anybody ever.

Sad people go all out for their love for floyd. you people are even willing to kill for for floyd.

you people should be exterminated from society. crime levels would drop drastically.

Us people? What upper middle class Irish-Americans? Come on now... that being said Pac's camp started back up the Mayweather talk...it was pretty much gone but they used it to market the Rios fight...which didn't help much. In the grand overall scheme of things Floyd's father started the PED stuff but that was settled (literally) and over with.

My point is Pac used Mayweather to try to market his recent fight as they both do, but Mayweather fired back with a few things...now Pac says he doesn't want to get involved? Please.

translation: Why do I need to get into a Twitter war with Floyd's 12 year old mentality?

Exactly...I couldn't have said it better myself.

Floyd's team is simply throwing out relevance keeping tools for the boxing writers. It's obvious to anyone that has observed his marketing tactics. I mean professional photoshops of him vs. Maidana, PAC, and Kahn are out there as well.

He's got Mayweather haters on here doing some of the marketing for him by talking opponents like Maidana as threats.

Mayweather is the one guy keeping boxing relevant in mainstream sports and news media in America.

Floy dragging Pacman's name again to sell his next boring fight.
He also needs Canelo and his bro Broner to help him out.
And on Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican holiday. What a joke.

Was he being the bigger man here?

If this video is the best example you have of Manny sinking below Floyd's level and not being the bigger man, then you have some serious sensitivity issues. I can imagine how the video cut you to the core and scarred your fragile psyche.

WorldStarHipHop titled the video, "Manny Pacquiao Says Floyd Mayweather Is Scared Of Him." So, skipping all the chitchat at the beginning, I transcribed just the part of the conversation near the end that's relevant to the video's given title:

Skip Bayless: "Manny, do you think Mayweather is afraid of you?
Manny: "Uhhhm...(laughs)...I think...uh...I think it's kind of that."
Skip: "I think it's kind of that too! I think we got to the bottom line here! Floyd is afraid..."
Stephen A. Smith: "Oh my lord! You just accused Floyd Money Mayweather of being afraid of you on national television? Ooooooooh!"
Skip Bayless: "He did...because it's the truth."

Play the video while reading my transcription and you'll see it's pretty much a literal transcription of the dialogue and not embellished by me.

Conclusion: He absolutely IS the bigger man. He gave a humble, honest answer to a direct question from Skip Bayless. All he said is, "...I think it's kind of that." He didn't run off on a rant of insults, innuendo, rationalization, smoke screens and evasion like Floyd usually does when the subject of "Poochiao" the "yellow midget" is brought up to him. As far as I can recall, the words coming out of Manny's mouth, which hyper-sensitive Floydiots take as insults, are simply honest answers to direct questions asked of him. I've never seen or heard an unprovoked, unsolicited diss directed at Floyd just out of the blue from Manny. The same can't be said for Floyd.

Does Manny saying, "I think it's kind of that," plus his quote from the article referenced by this thread prove that he's NOT the bigger man as you claim?

Let's try another comparison. Watch the following YouTube videos.

(Sorry I had to clip the full URL. Being a new poster, apparently I can't post URLs until my 15th post. Just copy/paste the text into a YouTube search window.)

If you can link me to a video (better than your referenced WorldStarHipHop vid) that shows Manny being smaller than Floyd is in those YouTube videos, I'll personally drive out to Las Vegas, find the Mayweather Gym, genuflect in front of Floyd and kiss his ass in apology on behalf of Manny. But I'm so confident I'll never have to do that because I know you'll never be able to provide that proof.

Now ask yourself...who's the one who is "All Shook Up" and being the smaller man: the guy who, unprovoked & unsolicited, keeps "thinking" about dissing the one-dimensional midget that he's unwilling to meet in the ring for his record breaking payday, or the guy who loves his enemy?

'Nuff said.
