Comments Thread For: Holyfield: Mayweather Doesn't Believe He'll Beat Pacquiao

[ihatebobarum]

Holyfield your a legend an all but please stfu, you are sounding bitter

[ddangerous]

Most think Mayweather would "kill Pacquiao"? I certainly don't and never have.

I think it's a pick 'em fight, even now. Manny has definitely regressed, but so has Floyd.

floyd's last fight and pac's last fight wasnt off by that much so what are u talking about??

Lol. But theres a chance it really was... Pacquiao vs bradley was said to do anywhere from 500k-750k, Mayweather-Maidana was said to be anywhere from 800k up. the problem here is that everyone read that and automatically went with the highest number possible and said Pacquiao-Bradley did 750k buys... thats just not true, and thats not what Arum said. He was putting a pretty spin to the numbers but kept it honest.

Look it worked for DLH for years. Why the hell would he change the money maker plan that was done first by DLH and making him 10 of millions. He's being his own man, taking the boxing game to new hieghts

i was just saying because floyd fans like to talk about fighting sonmeone's left overs like its such a bad thing to do.. and where is the boxing game now since floyd took it to a new heights??

so pac's numbers is not true but floyd's numbers is?? truth is, we have yet to get a comfirm source for BOTH of them. anywhere from 800k, doesnt mean its 800k up using ur logic right? LOL.. like i said pac's #'s is not far out from floyd. u make it seem like pac is raking in only 350k while floyd is cracking 1mil.. if floyd gets 800k, pac will prolly get 650k-700k.. like i said its not off by far.

[MrP4P]

he did call floyd's bluff.. by going on espn and saying he has agreed to everything. when floyd called and offer manny the $40 flat fee, pac hasnt agreed to all of floyd's terms yet such as ost with no cut off. and the fighting for free thing is more about not agreeing on the purse so lets just fight for free this way theres no issues. but that means floyd has to agreed he'll fight for free. manny is not saying manny will fight for free and floyd can keep all the money. manny is saying that if they cant agreed to terms on the money split then both of them will fight for free. and again i repeat BOTH guys are at fault.

Both guys are at fault but youre wrong here, you are skipping through the timeline. Pacquiao turned down the 40 mil, he laughed at it and gave the phone back to konc, when Pacquiao went on ESPN and said he agreed to everything that was already during the build up to Pacquia-Marquez 4. Timeline is important here... he didnt call Mayweathers bluff on the 40 mil offer

yeah u're right pac didnt specially but arum did with a counter offer of $55mil flat fee for floyd.. anything else??

How am I saying Pacquiao's numbers arent true, or that Im making it seem like Pac is raking in 350k while Mayweather cracks a mil? Arum himself said the fight could be anywehre from 500k to 750k and the word is Mayweather-Maidana is 800k up, where did I claim to have a source and pass this as fact? Im stating what we ALL heard, I think my point was pretty clear when I said all the Pacquiao fans heard 500k-750k and automatically said "Oh! the fight did 750k!" when that wasnt actually the case, didnt say its not the truth.

[radiotracer]

I agree. I think both sides are to blame. You always hear "WHY DOESNT MAYWEATHER MAKE THE FIGHT" but why dont we ask "WHY DOESNT PACQUIAO MAKE THE FIGHT?" or people will blame Richard, Al Haymon, Elerbe, but why is it crazy not think Arum has blocked the fight? I truly think its the egos of both fighters and neither wants to second fiddle to the other because they are stars in their own right, Mayweather had excuses that didnt make sense but so has Pacquiao.. Hes stated hes scared of needles and drawing blood but had tattoos all over his body and evnetually agreed to testing when he thought JMM was juicing. Mayweathers father has said Manny is all wrong for Floyd, and then said Floyd would whip Manny, but I remember roach joking saying hes never even heard of steroids before or fighters using him, but forgets his fighter was caught (Toney) on PEDS with his fight with ruiz.. almost everything about this rivarly goes both ways but the bias is def real.

all roads lead to floyd. He can fight King Kong if he wants to. It's not about haymon, Schaffer or odh. These guys will lick floyds boots if he says he wants pac. Big money for everyone but floyd is not a willing participant. Now that pac has had his better days I hope they never fight because this will leave an asterisk on TBE fighters record. LOL.
