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

[rasdun]

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.

The steroid testing issue ended yrs ago. Floyd always comes up wit a different excuse (testing, im on vacation, purse split, pac lost to Bradley and JMM, I can't deal wit Arum, he must sign wit Mayweather promotions, etc. Etc. Etc.)

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.

Tailor made, can give him his biggest PPV, yet demands Manny to leave his promoter.

Someone's shedding his chicken feathers.

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."

"Earlier this week" That was old (Jan 7) article and things changed after that .

[ADP02]

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?

Poor guy. He comes here to discuss monetary arguments while I'm talking about boxing (legacy).

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.

OK then why don't you do the poll and see who the fans really want to see. Maidana would only get some Maidana fans and very few Floyd fans. The rest would select someone like Manny Pacquiao.

BTW - Remember that Maidana can't even use his preferred punchers gloves. What a JOKE!!! You want to see that again? Most who said OK with a rematch put that condition (only if Maidana is allowed to wear his preferred gloves).

[ADP02]

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?

Don't you agree that Floyd is not interested in fighting Manny? How many times and how many ways does Floyd have to tell you? So Manny's team has no choice but to move on to someone else.

god you're an idiot! can you read? you keep asking about a dumb poll, i just admitted to you that people want to see floyd-manny more than floyd-maidana but you swear like there is no demand for the maidana when maidana's last ppv with floyd did more than pacquiao's ppv with bradley and rios.......

At least Floyd gives rematch. Even tho Maidana and Floyd had fought already this is the best competitive fight for Floyd. Floyd doesnt give rematches. Base on the scoring from their last fight is wasnt close

Maidana did say Floyd owe him this fight. That a bunch B/S.... No one owe you crap Maidana.

I do feel like Floyd is taking everyone money again b/c the rematch wont be close like some assume. Floyd will box from the outside and it wont be competitive at ALL

Pacman new nickname should be "Mr.Trilogy"
