[ADP02]

of course fans want to see pacquiao over maidana....who is dis*****g that? just because they want to see floyd-pac doesn't mean there is no demand for rematch of floyd-maidana. you're so stuck on floyd-pac that you don't even care about other fights that could be made.

Look bud, check out the title of this thread. Do you believe what Floyd is saying? I don't and I'm making fun of that statement as are many others. The only ones who are not are Floyd's defense team. Not sure why because EVERYONE knows that Floyd is lying.

The fans wanted Manny Pacquiao 3 years ago.. Hard to make him the greatest ever without taken real chances.

The funniest part about Mannytards comments is that the reality of it is that no version of Pacquiao could give Floyd problems like Maidana, styles make fights and Manny was always tailor made for Floyd.

If only Floyd is as confident as you, fight would have happened already.

They were ready to move it from June to May ..... but then Floyd came out with that bomb shell...... and ever since then, them roadblocks keeps piling up.

It was just this week that Arum said he would go to the Philippines to meet with Pacquiao and present him with the names of four possible opponents for May or June: Miguel Cotto, Marquez, Lamont Peterson and Timothy Bradley Jr.
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.

"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."

You should when u consider that they weren't making the same stink about:

Pac not letting Cotto come in the weight he wanted
Pac pursuing a fight with Cotto only to not take it because he wanted to be at a comfortable weight
Pac not letting Margarito weight full 154
Pac not making Morales drain down 2x even after he knew he could make weight without being a walking corpse.
Pac almost walked away from the Hatton fight over money
Pac almost walking away from the Delahoya fight as well

Where was all the outrage from them in those instances?? Did they question Pac being a warrior because of the above? Nope....not for a second!

Don't forget not letting Bradley use his own choice of gloves.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

You don't think Pac knew the limited number of fights that could be made when resigned with Arum? Of course he did. It was a completely asinine move to resign with Arum without even testing the waters of what fights could've been made as a free agent. Oscar/Floyd/Cotto did it and went on to be very successful that way. Why couldn't Pac do it so we could see Pac/Thurman. Pac/Porter or even possibly Pac/Mayweather?

Even if Pac didn't resign with Arum, that doesn't mean a match with Floyd is guaranteed. The only boxer people want to see Pacquaio fight the most is Mayweather but what has he (Floyd) been saying in the meantime? Crazy stuff like "Join TMT first" or "If Pacquiao wants the belt, I'll give it to him". How is anybody suppose to trust Mayweather when he says crazy stuff like that?

And I'm sure Pac had his own reasons for signing with Arum. Don't know why and I'd rather hear from him than jump to conclusions.

See, I was right. Until this day, the man keeps on ACCUSING the women of being a whore and never had any intentions of dating her. This is a joke in the eyes of many since they all knew that that women was the best woman out there for him. Yet, the man preferred to date those easy cherry picked women that when compared to that women, they looked like cheap 1 night stands who nobody ever thought were worthy and did nothing for him in the long run ......

He dated Canelo and broke the all-time record for revenue earned in a boxing match, and the PPV were only second to his own record when he fought ODLH. He's really suffering without Manny. Who's Manny fighting again?

absolutely, i believe him.....otherwise he wouldn't have done the rematch because it's a fight that many fans want to see again. the only ones making fun of the rematch are butthurt pact@rds....lmao i was just saying that they have the nerve to try and poke fun at a legitimate match-up while their god/hero is about to cherrypick al-freaking-gieri.....i understand though, you got offended and you came to the rescue of your god.

[Slick Veteran]

Floyd said he is not interested but I can think of someone .....

He can't choose who he fights and he is fighting a lesser challenge in a Chris Algieri. He's also not a better match up if we honestly assess his performances, especially of what he has done lately. Is there anyone else? I see no other superstar with a better fight schelduled currently than Mayweather, do you?

he meant ''funs''
