Everyone knows Arum is the cause for this fight not happening. Roach even stated recently that he know both wanted to face each other but the promoter got in the way and that he believes Arum wants Pac to fight Floyd in his last fight. Mayweather agreed to 50/50 and all of Pac's demands in the first negotiations and asked Pac to subject himself to the same OSDT as Floyd was subjecting himself to, and Pac and his team turned down the fight. Floyd personally called Pac and offered Pac his largest payday by far and Pac said he wanted 50/50 then hung up on Floyd. This is after Pac has said he would take less than 50/50 which Pac should get 70/30 at best. Not to mention Pac has said that he wants the fight for the fans not the money, but he turned down his largest payday to date. Lets stop acting like Floyd has not tried to make this fight, or that Floyd is running from this fight when facts prove otherwise. Pac says his phone line is open, but it must only accept in coming calls because he nor his team have called or reached out to Mayweather like Floyd has reached out to him.Who is really to blame? Maybe it's the fans because the fans are accusing the wrong man of avoiding the fight. If people would put pressure on Pac and Arum then maybe we can actually see the fight.

It's not Floyd fault, it's Floyd health fault. The only fighter in boxing history to say my health come first. And he have the nerve to use Ali as an example.Comment

This has been discussed over and over again. my hunch tells me either the promoters are holding this fight back because they want it to be Manny's or Floyd's last fight or money is an issue. But between both fighters? If either of them has any fear of facing one another? i'd say it's Floyd Mayweather. All indications are leading to him. He's undefeated, he has more to lose than Manny has. Manny's southpaw style and fast hands are also a reason he'd be worried. I couldn't see Manny looking for ways to duck any fight. As it's pretty clear already he will fight anybody who they put in front of him. Mayweather being his own promoter is actually a bad thing for the fans.
it's good for him in the sense that he can earn more money, but he has all the money in the world already so what does it matter? It's negative in the sense that he can pick out anybody who he wants to fight since he's his own boss. it would be a lot better if he had promoters or people who would pick the fight for him in the fan's favor because right now in my honest opinion he's just been picking guys apart whom he knows already he can beat and his last fights were really not so exciting apart from the Cotto fight where Miguel tried to put on a show but his performance that night was less than stellar to say the least.
These debates are becoming tiresome though. Either the fight will never happen and that's what most people believe in right now or it will be Pacquaio's last fight. As of right now i actually believe Manny has a better chance of defeating Floyd Mayweather than i did before. Manny was reckless back in the day, effective but reckless and it wouldn't work in his favor while fighting Floyd. So let's just wait and see. The whole world already lost interest anyway. People lost hope man, it's been talked about so many times and it still didn't happen. We viewers can only wait patiently and see what happens in the future with both fighters.Comment
