Comments Thread For: Showtime Prez: Mayweather-Pacquiao, Not With Top Rank

[umop-ap!sdn]

We all know this

Soon as Cotto and JMM broke away from TR, Floyd fought them

I am hoping Pac does the right thing come the end of 2014, not only to get the Floyd fight, but to get other fights, he doesnt deserve to retire broke, i dont see how him and Arum can go any further after the Bradley rematch

Glad you said this... It's right there for ppl to see, yet the so called know it all's say Floyd is ducking Manny. Anyone who knows anything about boxing knows Arum is the reason this fight never happened. Floyd would willingly whip Manny's ass but he will not willingly make a penny for Bob Arum. He wan't arum to rot and die broke which wont happen, but he will not use his name to make money for Arum ever again. Simple and plain.

Pacquiao needs some new Mannygment.

This Mayweather guy will be the loneliest man on the planet when Arum dies. I mean, no matter what they say about the old man, he's got a lot of friends in many walks of life. When you're in the twilight of your career, building bridges is more appropriate than burning them especially if you get butt hurt when every American is rooting for the foreigner opponent and they want you to lose. How many lives does Mayweather have? Nine?

Either him or arum. Take your pick

Wow, you are delusional or high and Mayweather @#$#@! I'm not a big fan of either but it's obvious Mayweather is making the outrageous demands. First it was drug testing....OK, Second it was place....OK, then it was 55-45 ....ok, Now it's promoter.... Put yourself in a casual followers shoes and ask yourself, Is Pac making huge demands?Who is making the excuses/demands? Pac repeatedly said (on espn first take) for example, "I will take all his tests and agree on the 55-45. Mayweathers response " I can't fight Pac unless he has a different promoter." Twist and turn these statements all you want, bottom line, Mayweather is being more of a politician than Pac ever could be.

“The thing is this I’m an American citizen and I represent this country with the red, white, and blue. The only thing I want is the people in my country to stand behind me. I’m in my own country and I have a lot of people against me. Our country is a great country, it’s a clean country, and all I ask him to do is take the test, that’s it. He takes the test and we got a fight.”

How can u say this when it was Floyd himself who said "take the test and we have a fight". Where was the bob arum excuse then? It's only come up once Pac agreed to undergo full testing.

These idiot promotion companies are killing boxing by not allowing us to see the best fights out their. When are they going to stop being diva and be PROFESSIONAL and get the fights that we want to see made? Why can't they throw their pride and ego out the door for the sake of the sport and be PROFESSIONAL enough to work with each other? What a bunch of bullshlt.

Showtime Sports Executive VP Stephen Espinoza is not confident that a Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao super-fight will ever happen - unless Pacquiao breaks away from Top Rank and retains a new promoter.

Earlier this week, Mayweather took several social network swipes at the Filipino star. [Click Here To Read More]

Since Floyd is his own promoter and boss, yes, yes Floyd is the issue. Nice try Espinoza but you fail.

haha, as soon as Cotto took a beating from Margs and Pac and appeared to be a shell of himself, Floyd decided to fight him.

This is what I dont understand. Floyd loves to boast about how he is his own boss/promoter yet it seems as if Shaefer and Espinoza is the one dictating what happens. Which is it Floyd because if you're your own boss/promoter, and you're the one who calls the shots as you love to say, then the fight isnt happening because you dont want it to. Plain and simple.
