I just realized something, I know I'm late but Floyd is EXTREMELY JEALOUS... Floyd can't understand why Floyd and American fighter with 310 million Americans and 40 million African Americans sell 1.3 mil PPV on average and Pacquaio a Filipino with only 1.3 million Filipino Americans and 13 million Asian Americans sell 1.1 million PPV on average... Floyd wants endorsements and the people to talk about him like they talk about Pacquiao... Floyd should understand that win lose are draw Pacquiao is an exciting offensive fighter and Floyd is a boring defensive fighter... Most writers and historians know that Sugar Ray Robinson had 19 losses and Marciano was 49-0 (43KOs) and he is not even a Top 10 Heavyweight... Floyd did a masterful job of getting the black non boxing fan to see him as a victim of the white man not understanding the Hip Hop Generation to buy his fights... Look at Floyd's numbers before he was 30 and after 30 when Oscar gave him a stage... Mike Tyson is still the most famous African American fighter under 50, overseas Pacquiao is way more popular and known than Floyd... Manny has nothing bad or negative to say about Floyd but Floyd can't seem to keep Pacquiao's name out his dental... Sign of a jealous-hater...

Perfect example of why Manny Pacquiao stays losing in and out of the ring, because his fan base is to emotional and delusional. Continue to let your bitterness and inherit bigotry consume you, because the fact still remain Floyd for the last two years has become the richest athlete in all of professional sports.

He's right. PAC should've listened..he wouldn't be struggling with money issues now if he did. Smh, sad.

He he he... Now it's clear mayweather i s coward. He is afraid to manny pacquiao. He has lot of alibi.. He he he..

Please enlighten me on what you see is clear...hehehe

[WESS]

Damn that was just murder.. I remember everyone was shocked years ago when Pac re-sgihned with Bob let alone the time he turned his head with the VisionQuest..

Pac will see this threw though.. He will stand up for himself come late 2014!

Please shut up...you are an embarrassment to the thinking person. Just follow Pacquiao...you do not have to make a comment here.

Just wondering out loud here .... But, how many of these keyboard warriors and internet tough-guys slinging the term "Coward" around, have actually been in a boxing ring or at the very least laced up a pair of gloves.

Gotta love the internet, where everyone's a tough-guy

This perspective isn't really correct. Because Floyd just pays Golden Boy a flat fee to help. But the bills surrounding the fights, especially when he was with HBO, is paid out of Floyd's pockets. So if let's say a natural disaster happened and the fight doesn't happen, it's Floyd that takes a big loss financially. Whereas, Golden Boy would be shielded from a loss.

The main difference is Arum ripped Floyd off in the past. But today, no promotional company can rip Floyd off, so by default Oscar has never ripped Floyd off. So he has little reason to hate doing business with Oscar, because it cannot happen anyway. Floyd can only rip himself off.

Well, when it is a GBP fighter, it isn't just a co-promotion flat fee. That is Schaefer and Haymon that hash that out, and don't think for a second Schaefer just sits back and lets Haymon make all the decisions. Schaefer is the snake of all snakes. This dude makes Arum look like The ****** de Guadalupe.

But I get where you are coming from on the being ripped off in the past. But Floyd has never really shared that experience. Arum has talked about it quite a bit and always described a very respectful working relationship with Floyd. I don't think anyone disagrees that Floyd made the right decision to get away from Arum, but don't let his bit talk fool you. That dude doesn't manage his own career. You see the way he blows through money? And lets not forget, three years ago it was HIM that had Uncle Sam tickling at his back door waiting to knock a shot off. He was in big tax trouble and he couldn't blame that on Arum.

No, his career is managed by Al Haymon and Leonard Ellerbe, both are well educated and stick VERY strictly to their gameplan for making Floyd the success that he is. They may say Floyd calls the shots but that's because they need to keep that dude happy... and Floyd is happy only when Floyd feels he's in charge. But SOMEONE behind the scenes... someone powerful... does not want this fight. I've heard many rumors that it was actually Floyd Sr. that put the bug in Jr.'s ear.

You know shit's bad when your own lawyer is asking to bail out of a contract. I just don't understand how someone could it let go that far. On the plus side, just a couple more fights under TopRank and he is home-free.

Then its time to fight the "coward".
