Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Waiting For Mayweather's Answer To Challenge

[Slip Stream]

"Fighter of the Decade" Manny Pacquiao awaits the response of undefeated pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr to the Filipino's challenge for the American to face him in the ring in a fight boxing fans have long wanted to see, with all income going to worldwide charities.

Pacquiao pulled off what many consider a masterstroke after Mayweather derided the eight division world champion on several occasions recently, claiming that Pacquiao was begging for a Mayweather fight because he had tax issues with both the US Internal Revenue Service and the Bureau of Internal Revenue in the Philippines.

"Many?" No it isn't many that believe this utter bull****, its the ******s that frequent NSB and other sites. "Masterstroke?" Wow this article is dripping with simpering incompetence. How is it a masterstroke to suggest something completely ******ed? Prize fighters compete for prizes not charity causes, both Mayweather and Pacquiao have theirs they give to already.

Only an idiot thinks avoiding paying your debts is a masterstroke.

No matter what is said I cant get over the "We need to build a stadium" excuse from pacquiaos team...a stadium?

What does the revenue services PAC owe think about the free fight? When has PAC been able to negotiate a fight? Floyd's response will be PAC fight for free and he will want to be paid.

He has the IRS to pay so this "free" money isn't going to no damn charity lol.

Put 2 and 2 together and ask yourself when has PAC been able to negotiate any of his fights. Now all of a sudden he is...smh. It's grandstanding at its best.

40 mil was a lowball offer. THIS is an absolute joke of an offer. Don't compare the two.

Alts.

Floyd fans are hurting real bad inside right now.

Wow. The Pacman smear campaign started by
Money Mayweather is picking up steam.
Money Mayweather should be man enough to end this.
Come on Floyd, end it with another tweet.

Floyd is a keyboard warrior now, so this should be easy for him.

You somehow got a point: in fact Manny can't take any money from this, not even to give it to charity... In fact the charity would receive nothing... Am I wrong?

[T18Z]

If pacquiao is trying to prove he doesn't need the money... what does that have to do with Mayweathers money?

Pacquiao should just say, Ill sign that all my earnings for the fight will be donated to charity.

Floyds earnings for the fight has nothing to do with Manny trying to prove hes not just looking for a bailout.

Well, it doesn't sound very good does it, one fighter donates everything he earns in the biggest fight ever made, while the other fighter is a scrooge who won't part with his money, despite being ****** rich already.

I think both fighters donating would be the right thing, for boxing and for the charity. Imagine the publicity for the sport and the sales...

You learn that from your lover Floyd?

I enjoy the way you reply with no facts.. Just answer the question when has PAC negotiated his next fight? "I will leave that to my promoter" is his favorite statement. You and he would want real boxing fans to believe he can tie his shoes by himself now

[Weebler I]

Why is it so hard for both sides of the fans to instead of bashing the other fighter they could just say

"Wow, this would be a great fight, make it happen regardless of stipulations!"

Because the Floyd fans don't actually want the fight. You can count on one hand the number of Floyd fans on here who say they want to see it. Offhand, I can't think of any.

They either feel he gets beat or they know Floyd doesn't want it and are just supporting his position.

Either way, boxing fans want to see it.

You speak of facts as if you know of any, you do not speak for Mayweather or Pacquaio, so don't act like you are the voice of truth you bafoon.

[LeadPunch]

I can't believe there are still people out there who think otherwise: Mayweather DOES NOT want to fight Pacquiao, very plain, very simple.

[danktrees]

Willing to fight for nothing for himself, yes, but he clearly said on the condition the proceeds go to charity. That is fighting for a cause, not for free. The money going to charity is the payment to Pacquaio, since he would receive the gratitude and respect from it.

Well why can't he just donate the money he gets from the 40 mil and donate that? How much would he get from this fight now? I'm guessing he'd get around 50-60 max. Which isn't that far off from the 40 he was offered. Floyd was only guaranteed 42 for canelo as the a side which is what he would be in this fight with Manny. Floyd got paid on the backend as well but from what we've read, Manny does not have such a deal in place he only ever gets his purse and that seems to be it. He might get around 50-60 mil purse now but that's not too much more than the 40 which he could have accepted and donated to charity since that's what he'd be doing now.
