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

[ADP02]

When did Bob Arum say "OK, let's fight in May instead of June?" please forward an article with dates and a link! I'm throwing the BULL**** flag on this one! I got articles on the cuts and stadium...what you got?

I had some better articles but don't want to waste more time than required because it will not make a difference ........ there are articles that stated that Manny and Arum were OK with May instead of June but as we all know, the real issue was Floyd wanting ALL PPV MONEY.

Good idea but who will give up their whole purse to charity we can all dream

[Slip Stream]

who SAID that Pacquiao and Mayweather are EQUAL?? Mayweather is the best right now. SO WHAT??? THIS is what the whole world wants to see. This is the biggest fight in boxing. Mayweather said Manny's desperate for money. So he answered it by fighting for free for THE FANS. i know your PRAYING for KHAN vs MAYWEATHER RIGHT? this is what floyd **** suckers want to see.

I think Khan is a pathetic bum and I do not look forward to this joke of a fight. When I look at Khan I see a soft, worthless cab driver looking for a quick payday and nothing more. Its clear he cares for nothing else (which is fine) just be real about it. He does not deserve a shot at the best boxer in the world whatsoever.

Don't you understand that responding with fighting for free is utterly ******ed if he's trying to get Floyd to fight for free as well? If Manny said he was fighting for nothing, that's be cool but this dimwit actually thinks this is some sort of bargaining chip, he's that thick and so are his fans.

at first i laughed when i read this cause there is no way it can happen but once i got into it i realized his fans actually believe this. They are here strong pushing this agenda thinking pac is actually willing to do this. One was calling him a saint

Makes me want to get a pac fan and study them to see what it is that he does that makes them throw away all sensible thinking and just follow suit. Its like a cult.

There was a time I wanted to know this, but once I realized these thralls were beyond all hope I decided to start crushing them like the nasty little ****roaches they are.

The GOP has such tight messaging because they represent a fading political party in this country so they need all hands on deck singing the Party line in unison. Similarly the Pac illusion is beginning to fade, and since reality has failed his brain dead hordes they have to defend unreality with a Cujo like frenzy.

Don't count on it Pac, rather count on Mayweather retiring right around the time your contract expires with Top Rank. That's actually realistic.

Manny wanted to fight in May when Floyd was supposed to be in jail, but when Floyd got the continuance, everything changed! Again, I go to Dan Rafael of ESPN, who talked to Arum personally:

"Blame Bob Arum for No Pac-Floyd Fight" Dan Rafael ESN January7, 2012

http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id...yweather-fight

Quote: "Arum figured Mayweather would be in jail and off the table. Now that Mayweather is available and seemingly would like to make the match, Arum suddenly isn't interested. He used the lame excuse of the cut Pacquiao suffered against Marquez, saying he might not be ready for May. (I've never heard of a cut taking more than six months to heal.) However, earlier this week, when Arum thought Mayweather would be on ice behind bars, he said there was a good possibility Pacquiao would fight in May. Moments after Mayweather was granted the continuance, Arum changed his tune."

Quote: "We're fighting in June, one of the four guys," Arum told me over the phone. I asked him, now that Mayweather was available, would he at least be part of the conversation when Arum meets with Pacquiao next week?
A perturbed Arum's response was, "Absolutely not. Nope." Come again? You won't even talk about it with Pacquiao, I asked very politely. "My mission is to go over to the Philippines and talk about these four guys," Arum said. "If Manny feels he wants to go in May, he will tell me. I want to make sure Manny's cuts are healed. We won't fall under this kind of pressure. June is much more likely for Manny's fight, not May."(End Quote)

It is what it is! Arum didn't want the fight to happen! It's not about the $40 million, it's about control. If Manny wants the fight, he should do what Cotto did, BE YOUR OWN MAN! Who there in TR at 140 or 147? GBP is WAY deeper. He could be a free agent and be MUCH BETTER OFF! It makes no sense!

[GRUSTLER]

Manny talks all this about fighting Mayweather but when he is asked after he fights specifically Rios, his latest fight. He says it's up to my promoter Bob Arum. How can he make a proposal like this without Bob Arum signing off on it? Pacquiao fans please use what little brains you have.

[maguirre]

At the end of the day it will never be about anything other than
Floyd's lack of balls to fight Pacman. You can slice it, dice it,
marinade it, it will still taste like chicken. These back and forth
discussions will just be buried and forgotten like most topics are.
People don't normally have time for long winded explanations.
They'll just go for sound bites like you see in American politics.
Floyd is a coward, a duck, a chicken, etc. They'll cut you off
if you try to justify his excuses which would take hours to explain.
This is a losing battle for Floyd in the end.

He already lost in the arena of public opinion. Everybody knows he started all these smear campaign against the boxing superstar when Showtime wants him to fight Pacman.

[sargo]

Pacquiao is challenging Floyd, saying "if you are a real man." Why do many of you defend Floyd? Floyd's stance is to avoid the fight. You don't want them to fight? Why not?
