Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao is Broke, Desperate For Payday!

I really, really, hate Bob Arum, and everything he stands for, and I really, really, hope Floyd never fights any fighter signed to Top Rank ever. I can see a way out, as I told you before (I think), have Manny pay a step aside fee to Arum, out of his purse ($40 million plus a PPV cut), and let Floyd promote the fight on Showtime. HBO (Merchant and Lampley) have been very disrespectful too. It's a long shot but if Floyd still wouldn't fight Manny, after agreeing to that, I would start calling him a duck too.

HBO fired Merchant over his antics though. They did this shortly after losing Floyd to Showtime. He's now stuck commentating for Top Rank/Box Nation.

Of course he wasn't. Gatti was a bum and Mosley over the hill, former roid user, low on testosterone.

Floyd is scared of fighters at their prime. His record is a joke.

Great, thereby showing that those comments alone don't equate to not wanting to fight.

floyd and manny is 1 and 2 in pvp. and it is predicted that it will break all pvp records. one cant do it without the other. manny has settled for 45% since 2012. if floyd wanted his biggest payday and another feather in his cap as being involved in the biggest pvp ever then he should just forget all demands not related to the actual fight. blood test, ring size, gloves are related to the fight. personal animosity toward arum isn't.

I'm not looking this up, because i'm tired of doing all the research, but has Manny done better with any other fighter, than he has with Marquez? Floyd has the largest PPV event, and the largest revenue making fight in history. Clearly, if Manny is his equal or better, shouldn't he be able to break records without Floyd? I mean Floyd has done it twice without Manny. I'm sure that since Manny turned down 2 offers, and Floyd has broke records since then without him, he's pretty much Ok with telling Manny "Go **** yourself!'

Imagine that...Merchant working for TR.

[Bronx2245]

amen,to that bro!

Bim, why won't you answer that "hypocrisy" question? I thought we were cool?

[Southpawology]

Floyd is TBE at putting up roadblocks. BTW, whatever happend to floyds drug crusade to clean up the sport? After the mosley fight it seemed like it fizzled out

[Beater_of_ass]

In no way was I implying or suggesting it was only because of Floyd. See what I mean about trying to fit everything in to one box?

I never used the or implied they were doing great. WHy do you continue to change what I said and then want me to debate it? why can't we just debate the points I made-same way we do with the points you make?

This isn't about winning or losing, its about truth and everyday logic employed when discussing boxing.

Because it basically is all on Floyd man. Floyd makes a million mistakes, it's all nothing major. But Manny makes the first mistake and somehow it is 10 million times more egregious than Floyd. Manny has done his part to make up for the doping issue by saying he'd take any test Floyd wants. To add to that he's said he'll fight whenever, wherever and take less money. What exactly has Floyd done to make up for all the excuses he's come up to make the fight?

You also said I don't debate the points you bring up... you brought up the amount of PPV buys. You spun it to make your point look appealing, I spun it to look at the reality of the situation that half of those buys were over a year and a half ago and your response? Debate me on the points I make... I just did and you're mad about it lol.
