Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr. To Pacquiao: Leave Arum and Fight Floyd

[AgainstTheRopes]

Arum has Pacquiao's next 2-3 bouts lined up and Pacquiao has very little say in the matter. Fight is not going to happen as long as Pacquiao is with Arum

What is this 20 Questions? You ******? What's the one you were just talking about??? **** off with this "Who?!" ****.

Ummm quoted from earlier posts in this very thread. Calling me ******, dude you are all over the place.

The fight? That's all you're thinking of.

Okay so were not talking pacquiao mayweather... If pacman went to gb what fight would we have gotten that you wanted so desperately....

No, Einstein, it effects the matchups we get.

What matchups? See when you add an s at the end of a word it means plural as in more than one... First you say you aren't talking about pacquiao mayweather... Then you are? Well which is it.

IMO, Floyd or really SHO/CBS need to work something out before Manny retires from boxing at the end of THIS year.
While Manny is still young he has been boxing pro since a teen. With his style, that shortens time also. Manny just has too much going on- he is a part time fighter these past few years. Both his wife and mom nagging him to stop, 5 kids!, congressman, etc..

Me personally, I don't see the fire anymore except in a few cases. Bradley, JMM rematches and Floyd. JMM already talking he gets winner. But the thing with Manny when asked about Floyd, (Regis/crowd goes wild and in a few interviews) he always says just make it happen "just for the fans", this tells me it don't matter to him. And he said it before that he has nothing to prove.

Mayweather Sr.

mayweather Sr, is just like Mayweather Jr. They both have more mouth than guts. Pacquiao isn't going to be dictated to by these two clowns. Pacquiao makes at least 20 Million per fight. He doesn't need Mayweather for money. Pacquiao wants to fight Mayweather to show he can beat him. Myweather doesn't want to fight Pacquiao, because he is afraid he will lose.

What happens is THE FANS lose. Mayweather thinks he is bigger than boxing. THE FANS will boy cott mayweather's fights until he fights Pacquiao. Anyone who doesn't believe watch Mayweather's PPV numbers when he fights the has been, glass jawed, clown Khan.

I really do hope Pac becomes a free agent and does fights with both promoters and t.v networks in the future like Cotto.

Pacquiao will be President of the Philippines one day, he will never go broke. He doesn't need to be dictated to by someone like Floyd, who will have a hard time not going broke once the fight checks stop coming in.

Floyd fight or not ,Arum is ass raping Manny and it is well publicized....why not leave?

Mayweather and team desperately try to focus on maintaining any semblance of believability within mainstream perception that Floyd is not scared. Nobody but a moron believes them at this point. They just keep finding a different issue, every time. Floyd was smart not to fight Manny, look at all the money he has made. Casual PPV buying boxing fans probably have the lowest IQ of any sports fan out there. Floyd only needs to hang on to the perception that he is not a coward, the reality of actually not being one does not necessarily make him richer. Could Floyd had made more money that he already has over the five years if he fought Manny? Well yes and no. The fight itself would have been the biggest payday in the history of sports however, he could have gotten seriously injured or humiliated in the ring and have had a much lesser subsequent career arc because of it, the answer is, maybe, the answer is, why take the risk when, financially, you are just fine without doing so, and more than that, financially you can do quite well without the risk, because casual boxing fans are like Menudo fans or New Kids on the Block fans, they are **** swallowers.

Floyd Sr is simply trying to maintain the ever retreating battle for public perception that Manny Pacquiao and / or Bob Arum are the reason this fight has not been made. By keeping that question within the mind of the **** swallowers, that challenge, those same **** swallowers won't feel ****** when they ooh and aaah at Floyd as he takes care of the Ortiz's, Guerrero's and Kahn's of the world.

As long as they can keep the dummies thinking "THEY should fight" rather than the more accurate perception that "Floyd should stop running from Manny" than Floyd can just keep finding another and another excuse, and keep taking their money for lesser opponents.

This doesn't mean I think Pac would necessarily win, but I do think that Floyd thinks Pac presents a very high risk fight that could end in brutal KO, for himself.

I also don't think Pac, nor Arum are somehow angels within all of this, but ultimately they WANT the fight 100% and have sincerely wanted the fight 100% for years and years, and Mayweather DOES NOT WANT THE FIGHT 100% and hasn't for years and years. Mayweather and Co are only interested in maintaining the perception that they do, and keeping in check the concept that they are 100% uninterested.

But again, its hard to blame them when Mayweather is making a lot of money without it. But of course he doesn't want it. What are they splitting 150 mill? Twice that? He is getting 60%. They can do any and all testing. They can fight in Vegas. And now, Arum cannot be involved at all.

Its silly. I can't see anybody really believing Floyd wants this fight unless they are just playing devil's advocate trolling or they are really dumb or really uninformed, or both.

Just stop with these non-stories already. It's just another in a long line of excuses. If Manny were to leave TR the goalposts would be moved yet again. You know Floyd just don't want it when someone whose main driving force in life is money and they walk away from the biggest payday in boxing history. No reason to complicate the argument beyond that.
