    I said I'm not interested in these two guys anymore, as long as don't fight each-other... No matter their reasons. I want to watch big fights -- and not to agree on whatever reasons because these big fights are not made...
    Yeah I heard you. I also heard when you wrote at least Manny still wants it and I responded. Sorry that made you sore.

      .

      PAC was willing to negotiate and made compromises regarding cut off date and post fight testing.

      Floyd kept coming back with new roadblocks... He kept moving the pylons and goalposts.

      Drug tests, gone on vacation, Don't do business with Arum, Must join Floyd's promotions company,... PAC's not worthy beating beat by Bradley.... must beat Bradley and Marquez first (this one is from Floyd Sr, I believe)

      Proof.
      Who wants the fight. And who doesn't seem to want it?

        When did Pac try to negotiate again? I'm not talking media chat.

          No way... In fact I'm rather leaning towards Floyd... I like his style more.

            when did i defend pac for this? LOL. u asked a question and i answered it. take a chill pill fan boy, im not defending anyone or anything here. if u wanna make fun at manny for taking on this fight like how i would make fun of floyd, then go for it, aint nobody is stopping u from doing that LOL. and why should i care if pac becomes a free agent or not? and why do u care so much about it, ur not even a pac fan remember? LOL! also why do u care how much cotto makes now after becoming a free agent and how much manny could be making? definition of a fan boy!!!

            Fan boy...Hilarious coming from you! I am talking about u defending Pac for signing with Arum without even exploring other options. Did u just notice how Carmelo Anthony, Lebron James, Chris Bosch, Dwayne Wade all talked to different teams before making a decision on who they would sign with?? They try to maximize the money the will make as well as try to give themselves the best chance of winning a championship. Could u imagine any of them not accepting other offers and just signing with the team they had been with. Any sane person would call them a fool. Get the point?? Why should u care? Well the way u defend him and make excuses for ANYTHING that happens with him shows how emotionally invested u are in the guy. I am not concerned about "making fun" of Manny for taking this fight. It is what it is....he doesn't have many options because he signed a deal with TR. I want him to become a free agent so he doesn't get Robbed by Rob Arum, he could make the fights that we want to see and so there would at least be a chance to see a fight with Floyd. I'm a fan boy because I don't want to see a fighter go broke...and I want to be able to see great fights? Ok...whatever? More like you're the fanboy for defending him. When did I ever say I am not a fan of Pacquiao? I have bought most of his fights and enjoy watching him. Just because I believe Floyd is the better boxer doesn't mean I don't like Manny as well.

              again when did i defend pac for this? i explained to u why manny prolly resigned with TR. thats not me defending him LOL. pac resign because its less work with the same amount of money in return. u wouldnt resign if u were in his position? like i stated already in my previous post, manny has other interest outside of boxing.

              when he retired from boxing im pretty sure he's gonna venture out into those fields. this is prolly why pac is not really looking to invest more of his time with boxing, he's not looking to depend on boxing when he retired like some of these other guys are.

                This is something that sounds very strange to some ears...

                  New roadblocks.
                  More excuses.

                  There is nothing else to be said.
                  Floyd didn't want the fight then, and doesn't want it now. Or he's waiting until Manny ages more.

                      for example floyd is looking to become a promoter and to run his own company once he retired from boxing. this is why floyd is pushing and is trying to build his brand up. pac is not looking to do this, this is why manny spend less time trying to invest himself into boxing.
