I just saw the whole interview on ESPN.

Manny Pacquiao's statement is very clear for those urging Pacquiao to make the call since Floyd Mayweather Jr. already did so with Pacquiao turning down the $40 million flat rate fee offered by Floyd.

Manny Pacquiao as of right now is waiting for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to call him and say Yes to the fight so they can begin the negotiation.

Manny Pacquiao is more than willing to make the fight happen for all of boxing fan's demand but Floyd is very unreachable even unwilling to sit and be interviewed by ESPN.

Right now the whole world is waiting for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to make that phone call. I repeat to all his fans please bring out Floyd and have him call Manny Pacquiao.

Gracias!

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

But i thought he called already with 40 million and you said no?

Ahh...so this time he really means it -- even though he's turned it down all the other times. It's just...he won't reach out. And he has a fight scheduled.

Hardly. You and the rest of the TMTbaggers have routinely been commiting this public act of self flagellation on an hourly basis for years now.

How is $40 million GUARANTEED, with $20 million being wired to him the next day, NOT a serious offer? Name me one fighter who has ever been given a $40 million dollar guarantee. In fact, Floyd has the biggest guarantee ever at $35 million, and thats less than he guaranteed Manny. Manny has been on a steady decline since they first initiated negotiations in 2009. And lets just put it out there. Manny's counter offer was "50-50 and we fight." If Manny were to agree to the same random drug testing he did with Rios, WE WOULDNT BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION now would we? For him to ask Rios for testing legitimizes Mayweather asking him for testing back in 2009. Or unless you are one of those fans who have a problem dealing with these little things called FACTS

You are all over the place.

Who has been given more than $40 mill guaranteed and refused? Floyd.

$40 million to a guy that is expecting 50/50 is a huge difference. Now Manny was willing to give in a bit but again, that was not a serious offer. Some say that fight could have generated $150 to $200 mill plus. So it doesn't take a genius to know why it was not serious.

You said an amount that Floyd was guaranteed ($35 mill). So why should Floyd get the possibility of 2X or 3X or more of his old guarantee while Manny would have to calculate if he is going to even get as much as he usually gets once you take into consideration the expenses that come with that $40 mill?

Offer was not serious. Even objective Floyd fans admitted to that .... time to do the same.

Criticize floyd for being a greedy, sellfish narcissist all you want. That criticism while true, doesn't absolve manny.

Be honest about the offer and evaluate manny's actions the same way you do his potential opponents.

Floyd just didn't want the fight .... "health comes first" was his response when people criticized him.

Why would you (FLOYD) argue against fighting Manny next but then get a poll going with them 2 cherry picks? The answer is RISK FACTOR!

I could have sworn Manny was signed to fight Bradley immediately AFTER he said he would fight Floyd for free.

Serious question if fmj call and offer 40 million with ppv upside is it a duck?? Because he is not getting 50/50 thats out the picture fmj is the top draw
