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

[PR BOXING]

Some actual facts:

1st go around:

- In late 2009 after Manny defeated Cotto impressively Floyd and his team reached out to TR to negotiate a Mayweather vs Pacman fight. It was Floyd's team who reached out, not Manny's.

- In late 2009 the OST request was know to team MP.

- Floyd eventually agreed to a 50/50 split down the line, a weight of 147, gloves of 8oz, a standard ring and a $10 mil per pound penalty. This was after he was adamant it would be 60/40, and Roach running his mouth all day about how Floyd wouldn't do the fight at 147. Basically he conceded to be on even footing.

- After this occured OST suddenly became a problem, and we had comical excuses such as blood draining, bruising, USADA being corrupt etc, the list is so silly i still laugh when i remember the tard nation justifying them on NSB.

- TR and co left the negotiating table and tried to blame Mayweather by saying they offered a 14 day cut off and Floyd refused. Retired federal judge who mediated said it didn't happen this way. Clottey fight signed and sealed two weeks later.

- After this fiasco Floyd is very clear that he won't be offering the same terms on OST next go around and he will want no cut off.


2nd go around:

- TR reckons they reached out to Floyd to negotiate a fight despite never actually calling any member of his team. Absurd countdown clock appears on TR website. A great promotional tool by Arum for Manny's next fight. Again "Floyd is ducking Manny" "Floyd is scared" are the go to lines.

3rd round:

- Floyd and his team are the ones to initiate contact again. Terms are again pretty favourable, and at this point Manny has publicly in the media already said OST without a cutoff is no problem. Looks like this might be the time to make the fight.

- The lame excuses start again, as if they weren't lame enough the first time. Everything from who is administering the test, to stadiums needing to be built in Nevada, to staging the fight in Texas or Dubai with it's investors, or a cut that just won't heal and TR and team Pac turn it down again.


4th round

- Floyd calls Manny with a $40mil flat offer. Manny declines. Have no issue with this, he deserves some PPV upside, well within his right to decline it.


So where in all of this has MP or his team initiated a negotiation or signalled a willingness to actually make this fight??

Expect this post to be ignored or not adressed in an intelligent matter.

ANY TAKERS? P@ct@rds where are you?

Arum and Crew burned out their frequent flyer miles chasing Marquez around Mexico but can't make a call to Mayweather. SMH

Look at this Flowmo, mad again. The man said he's under contract for now, so he can't negotiate. WTF are you even talking about?

Do you even read the articles?

The sweat from Pacquiao's nuts clouding your eyes? This is the comment I was objecting to among others:

"Let’s forget about it for the meantime. For the last four years, negotiations for the fight have been on and off and nothing had come out. He’s been asking for so many conditions which we have expressed intentions to abide by like drug testing, purse split and everything. Now he wants me to separate myself from my promoter (Bob Arum) which I cannot possibly do without violating my contract."

~Manny Pacquiao~

This thrall is acting like he's been involved in negotiations, he hasn't. Arum is his BOSS and would never put him in the ring with Mayweather, any negotiations that did occur were done in bad faith.

floyd wants

drug testing
more money
wants pacquiao to dump his promoters
wants pacquiao to provide him with PPV numbers
doesnt want pacquiao to train in the philippines if they were to fight
keeps saying pacquiao is ''easy money'' but hes the only one putting up a dozen excuses
keeps saying manny only wants to fight him for the money (who doesn't though?)

so to sum it up , floyd is scared . . .


im not buying that ''i dont like bob arum crap'' because if that was truly the case then how come for the first 2-3 years all we heard was ''take the test'', when manny agreed to testing, then he switched to ''i dont like arum''. floyd is not ******, he knows pacquiao has the style to beat the breaks off him. if flat footed cotto can bust his nose up, pacquiao will rough him up a lot worse. nobody wants to see him fight amir khan, yet he will find some reason to justify that nonsense , pacquiao had a reason to fight rios since he was coming off a loss and was looking for a tune up.

after manny is a free agent , floyd will want him to dump freddie roach, the kid don't want it, he just dont want it...

Genaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales.

LOL genaro hernandez and diego corrales is better than the great marco antiono barrera and the great eric morales? lol your in the same dreamland as floyd.

[kingfaze19]

let me ask floyd fans a question, during the lead up to the floyd-cotto fight, floyd kept praising cotto saying he felt miguel was still undefeated since one of his losses was vs margarito cheating (i give him that) and the other because he was ''drained'' vs pacquiao. so floyd basically said he didnt respect pacquiaos win over cotto because of the weight.

using floyds logic doesnt this mean that his wins vs marquez and canelo also dont deserve any credit ?? or are fighters only ''drained'' when they fight pacquiao ??

with floyd logic, canelo is still undefeated and the bloated version of marquez he beat was a fluke and a circus.

"I won't fight Pacquiao again"

- Juan Manuel Marquez

Didn't stop Arum from offering Marquez a career high payday and practically begging him. Yet Mayweather has to call them.

As they say, money talks....watch how fast Marquez fights Manny if Manny beats Tim and has a title.

in the meantime maybe he could fight a WW? I mean he is at best ranked #4 in the division
