Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather: My Focus is Not Manny Pacquiao

[MDPopescu]

All it's in Cotto's hands... It is said he will fight Canelo on Cinco de Mayo.
But if Cotto agrees to fight Floyd instead (for, let's say, a purse above $15 million) things are settled and Mayweather doesn't need a Manny fight for that date.

Not being sensitive...but come on... if you wanna blame someone, blame the managers and promoters. And the sanctioning bodies who ruin the sport. Along with the corrupt judges and refs. And the Cowards who ducks fights....

Agreed.

Shame to those who argue with blanket statements without actual analysis.

To blame Pac or even May simply because there is controversy is an attempt to take the high road without any foundation.

Screw-em all is not a position here. It is merely lazy ass trolling with the camaflouge of taking the high road - but it has no merit or foundation.

Conflict is at the root of this sport. If some are tired of this tension and conflict then they should follow another sport with more predictability and less controversy.

With that being said, Pac has glorified this sport and not ruined it. Not since the days of Ali has a pugilist been able to transcend the sport and attract celebrities and others who normally don't even follow boxing.

People really have bad memories.

It was Manny who refused random blood testing. It was Manny who was afraid of needles. It was Manny who said giving blood drains him and that's why he lost to Morales. It was Manny who refused a 14 day cut off when a mediator was introduced. It was Manny who refused 40 mil because he thought was treating him like a "bum fighter."

Tell me, what did Manny do to try to make the fight when we all wanted it? Please educate me.

It's not Manny, it's Bob Arum. Manny is merely a puppet with Arum holding the strings. If you listen to Manny answering questions to the media, more times than not he says, "Idk I need to talk to my promoter." Everything that comes out of Manny's mouth is Bob Arum talking. Remember, the whole Top Rank and Golden Boy feud stems directly from Mayweather and Arum not liking each other and refusing to do business with each other. At this point Arum doesn't want to split profits with Floyd, Floyd is too big and would cost Arum too much money.

Manny wants to fight he does, the man loves fighting and he's good at it. Bob Arum won't let Manny fight Floyd cuz Bob won't do business with Floyd. And I also recall a few years back that a fight was almost made, but Arum insisted that a special outdoor stadium be built in Vegas for the fight. A date was set up and Arum said he would need more time to build the stadium. So that ruined an opportunity right there because of scheduling problems, all cuz of Arum.

Don't blame Manny, blame Bob.

Told you so, Pacman you're next! every after ugly fight of Jr.Then the next day, um um No, I DIDN'T say that!

FLoyd ducks again!. He ignores the question about fighting Pac near the end. Note the swollen lip & nose. Maidana surprisingly did more visible damage this time.


Reporter: "Floyd, so are you now trying to fight Pacquiao?"

Mayweather: "We had a tremendous show tonight. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that we did good numbers. I want to thank everybody that tuned in and bought on pay-per-view, and everybody who covered this fight. Without you guys, Floyd Mayweather wouldn't be where he is today, so I'm very, very grateful."

" i am scared of manny pacquiao "...why cant he just say it straight save all the floyd f@gs the trouble of reading between the lines....

I like how Floyd gives himself credit for Pac getting KTFO by JMM. Yeah, Pac got KO'd because he was thinking about you and not because he got caught by a perfect shot.

Floyd is really full of himself right there.

No one really believes he was thinking about Floyd.

[royjonesjrKTFO]

Floyd is feeling that heat ( pressure on the Manny fight ). I'm so disappointed since I'm a long-time fan of him. He doesn't try to fight the best guy out there, but instead does the opposite.
