Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Turns His Back on Mayweather Fight, For Now

[Ray*]

Point blank, Cotto himself said that the fight was never offered to him, nor did he ever push to get a fight with Mayweather at that time(why do the haters keep ignoring this fact?). So does that mean Cotto ducked him at 140 AND 147??

Well global warming was Mayweather fault too, when Arum refuse to put anyone of his fighters against any other fighter from another promotional outfit it was Mayweather fault too you know. According to this same people Mayweather was "Forced" to fight Canelo, he never really wanted to and the same showtime would force him to fight Pacman when his contract runs out with Arum.. But by then it's a cherry pick.. Just like Mosley became a cherry pick, just like Canelo became a cherry pick, just like Hatton and Oscar were cherry picks.

Manny has yet to even make 40Mil since he has been fighting with PPV tallied up. Basically Floyd gives Manny 50% of everything while Floyd is the highest earner of the two? Manny don't make 40 Mil by himself, Floyd does. Nothing wrong with Pacquiao getting some PPV but same split? No, it doesn't work that way.

Obviously your forgetting that Floyd never made $40 million either at that point.He never made $40 million until showtime guaranteed him $32 regardless of Opponent. People act like he was making $70 million and Manny was fighting for peanuts at that point.

Sure he has how many title defenses does PAC have? Out of the 5 legit titles he won how many times did he defend his belt? He's going to have the same status as prince naseem named. PAC never was and never will be on Floyd's level.

I know it hurts you guys feelings but it's the truth

Is Floyd gonna defend that belt against Manny? Thought not...drop that belt in the trash cause all they do is collect dust.

? Floyd made 58Mil with Cotto. Before Showtime Floyd was banking big bucks.

Maybe he did? All I know is when May weather was fighting guys like Gatti,Baldomir,Hatton and others there were real Welterweights like Cotto,Margarito,Williams,Cintron and Manny that were tearing it up at his weight. Is it possible they all ducked him? I guess..but highly improbable...

That was after the whole $40 million offer. Floyd was making close to 25-30 million dollars.

When Floyd was fighting those guys Williams wasn't on the radar. Neither was Manny. Neither was Cintron. And the other two names were on Top Rank.

Cotto said himself that he was at a better stage in his career before fighting Mayweather especially after he beat Margarito in the rematch. I ain't making an excuse but just repeating what he said. I have always said that the Canelo fight should have been at 154. I want them to fight too but it's all over the place with them. I like Manny but I won't crown him the greater of the two considering it took him so much time to finally, actually do a random blood test AFTER he refused to make the fight happen back in 09 because of it being so close. What fighter/boxer refuses the biggest fight of his career by walking away from the negotiations because of 14 days? To only fight a guy who just lost (Clottey) to a guy you just beat down prior? (Cotto) AT LEAST Floyd has fought guys who come off of wins consistently. Name one fighter he has fought coming off of a loss? Now name some for Manny.

actually manny didnt walk away it went to mediation to be resolved. Manny agreed to terms worked out by mediator then Floyd vanished those are the facts sorry
