Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Wanted To Give The Fans What They Want

[sargo]

Hey Floyd, what the fans want is the Pacquiao fight.

[ddeg10]

The more I think about this topic, the more I realize that if Manny and Arum wanted this fight so bad, why haven't they gone on a global smear campaign, demand the fight, buy misleading ads, the whole nine yards? They could lure Floyd into a fight if they tried hard enough to upset him with their connections in the media. It's all a blame game. Neither of them want the fight anymore it seems.

Funny that PAC fans put all blame on Floyd but PAC and arum are saints. I mean PAC is about to fight Algeri or dulorme. Give me a break

are you in the right thread?

This ain't what I wanted but I'm mature enough to know it was the best viable option, can't complain here.

Same here. We get it he's scared of Manny and he thinks he can handle Chino.
If this time he grows a pair and Chino fights with real puncher gloves, then I'm ok with that.
If its another pillowfest with Fraud running for dear life while Maidana fights with state of the art sparring glove technology then I'll pass. Glad for Maidana though and I hope he gets a ton of money for it.

the only people who don't want this fight are a small pocket of mayweather haters who are afraid he'll beat maidana more convincingly this time. outside of the internet everyone - hardcores and casuals alike - is delighted with this rematch. i seem to recall in the immediate aftermath of the first fight people around here shouting robbery and claiming floyd would never in a million years grant maidana a second chance. it's like mayweather's detractors never get tired of being wrong.

On the other thread you said:

"the negotiation started with pacquiao wanting 6 weeks cut-off date..."

I believe 6 weeks is greater than 30 days. Who does that? Why are the people who find this su****ious the idiots? Why should I not believe Freddie Roach about Ariza? Didn't Rios fail drug testing while trained by Ariza? What was Ariza doing with that cloth he put over Maidana's face in the Broner fight? So I can believe Ariza was "shady," (as Freddie called him) when he was with Rios, but not when he was with Manny. However I should believe Marquez is dirty because he's with Memo? Did Arum not make up the excuses of cuts, and stadiums? Here you are trying to dissect my links, but all you have is an avatar? Where's your link that Floyd told the emissary that he wasn't interested at the particular time? When was this? Before he went to jail or after? Again, do you have a reference? If after two failed negotiations, why should Floyd offer Manny a fight again? Does Floyd need Manny? You guys really don't make sense.

quoted from mayweather http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story...er-to-pacquiao
Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz attempted to negotiate a bout without Top Rank's knowledge, saying, "Some guy named Michael Koncz [Pacquiao's adviser] came down here. I don't know who he is. He looks like a little weasel. He came down here, was in my gym and talked to me. He said, 'If you want the Pacquiao fight, you talk to me.' I said, 'What about Top Rank?' He said, 'I run all his business.'
pacquiao has also said in an interview that he'll be sending koncz to tell mayweather that arum is out of the negotiation. its in a local newspaper.

"this is what i said in another thread "pacquiao and mayweather started the negotiation with pacquiao wanted 6 weeks cut off date and floyd wanted 2. in negotiation you have to move towards the middle and pacquiao move towards 3 weeks cut-off and floyd move to zero weeks (floyd got a weird sense of negotiation)
i've been very consistent on this. you had moved your stance from pacquiao doesn't want any blood test towards he wants 1 month cut-off then 3 weeks cut off date.
its hard to argue with somebody who changes his stance on a single thread.
yes i disect the links you had given me. and i like to thank you for making my argument stronger.
thanks also for the link that says roach says its team pacs fault that fight did'nt happen- what followed after admitting that it was teams pac fault at the next sentence " both of them are at fault" later he said that "both fighters wanted to fight in 2009 but mayweather doesn't want to fight now. if you believe a part of that video then you must admit that the whole video is truth. you had given me 4 links and all of them links help my arguments.
ariza got caught giving rios some drugs. i think ariza is not the expert that mayweathers fans suggest. about the broner maidana just confirmed that ariza is not that good anyway. roach got a grudge on ariza because of the chest kicking incident. anyway manny called floyd a coward on espn. and floyds reply is manny is just wanted the fight for money. and floyd's fans says amen and parrot that alibi.
