Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Applies Pressure, Dares Mayweather To Fight

[jayblack]

Sorry but like I'm doing now, I highlight and even bring up your silly excuses. Like the above, you blaming Manny for Floyd and company making the mistake of ACCUSING Manny of using PEDs with no proof. Previous post you used as an excuse that Manny is "desperate now".

You use excuses as to why FLoyd doesn't want this fight. Understand? Get it?


It's a fight that I wanted to see. After all these years, it's obvious that Floyd doesn't want it. Stop defending him like you did above because that is a pathetic excuse! Isn't it enough the excuses that Floyd has used? You are ready to give him more excuse ..... just crazy bud!

Number of times Mayweather walked away from negotiations - 0
Number of times Pac walked away from negotiations - 2
If people and the media would put more pressure on Pac and Arum to make the fight, then we might actually see this fight in the near future. But people want to continue to blame Floyd, because Floyd demands a higher purse split, or wants random drug testing? News flash Mayweather deserves a higher purse split, and every sport does random drug testing except Boxing.

Okay so it's settled, 43 pages later: The ball is now in Mayweathers court. Don't run Mayweather.

I got a kick out of this post from another site, short list of Floyd's excuses:

Do these sound like the words of a man who actually wants to make the fight happen, or one who continues to create roadblocks and excuses?

1. Slanders him as a cheat then demands he take drug tests in order to fight.

2. I cant do business with Bob Arum.

3. I'm retired. I'm not thinking about Manny Pacquiao

4. Where was Manny Pacquiao in 96, 97, 98?

3. Everyone wants to see me fight Pacquiao but my health is more important.

4. $40mil flat fee with no ppv upside for Pacquiao (for a fight that would be the highest grossing fight of all time)

5. And yes Pacquiao you're next. Next day...I never said that!

6. Pacquiao must become his own boss first.

7. Pacquiao has Timothy Bradley problems

8. Pacquiao has JMM problems

9. Pacquiao has IRS problems and wants to fight me for a payday (notice how Floyd admitted that Pac actually wants to fight him)

7. Pacquiao must join TMT and give me some fights before I fight him.

8. Pacquiao must leave Bob Arum (mind you Pac is under contract)

9. Mayweather Promotions must promote the entire fight. No Top Rank (like Bob Arum would allow this. LOL)

10. It can only happen on Showtime ppv not HBO (mind you Showtime and HBO are willing to co-feature the event). If they're willing, why should Floyd care?
