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

[GRUSTLER]

That has nothing to do with loyalty. You lied. You're a fanboy.

No I didn't. Pacquiao is saying he wants to fight Mayweather now correct? After he fights his opponents he says "It's up to Bob Arum" when he is asked this question. Why would he say HE wants the fight and then when is asked after his opponent say "It's up to Bob Arum"? He should be saying it throughout the whole ordeal and not speaking like he is the one calling the shots (which he should be) when it's Arum. And for the record, do you even know what the word "loyal" means? Saying he wants the fight is not being disloyal to Arum because that is what he is supposed to say and we know Arum would be involved no matter what so how is it not loyal to say talk to me if you want to fight when Arum would be the one handling negotiations? Manny is the guy Arum works for. You one fighter fanatics let emotions dictate your thinking. I have pointed out that "Floyd BS's a lot too" but you guys can't see it because I said some things you didn't like about Manny which were the truth. Cry babies.

So you admit Floyd is capable of slinging BS as well. Great. You're still a Mayweather fanboy. It's written all over your sig.

Even if Pac was broke, even if Pac was desperate for a payday, he wants to amend that by fighting Floyd...Key word there being 'FIGHTING'.

Weather or not Pac is broke and desperate or still financially very comfortable he is STILL saying he will fight Floyd, regardless of money situations...

I like Floyd, but his need to compare bank accounts with Manny as a means to act like he doesn't need to fight him is pathetic and anyone that declares him/herself a fan of this sport and is even trying to pretend that it is ok and cool for Floyd to deny a Pac fight based on the comparisons of their estates, ridicules themselves to the point of cringeworthy embarrassment.

You make no sense. First you used the word "loyalty" when it wasn't even warranted and second you accuse me of being a fan boy when I have gone on record to say that Floyd BS's too? What point are you trying to make? I just proved that I look at it from both sides and could not possibly be a fan boy but YOU still say I'm a fan boy for admitting that I'm not a fan boy? hmmm.... someone is confused.

Floyd BS's a lot but when it comes to this situation and debate that has been going on for years..... Team Pacquiao made it get to this point by refusing the tests demands they now feel are necessary in the sport.

I made it a sig to be a reminder to guys like you that in life there are always two sides of the story and it doesn't pay to blame only one party for what has transpired because Roach admitted it was their fault but both would be to blame so how ****** are Pacquiao's fans to believe it was Floyd all along when Pacquia's own trainer takes responsibility for the fight not happening when it was the most relevant and lucrative? Seems to me like YOU are the fan boy because this important fact eludes you. So go ahead and give me a red k.

Yeah yeah yeah. Keep dreaming that your sig is to remind me that there are two sides to every story by only presenting one side of the story. Peace out.

There is no doubt that Floyd should fight him and not use the excuse of money and PPV #'s to justify him not giving Pacquiao the pay day. My only thing is that Floyd tried to fight him on record twice and both times Pacquiao balk at his demands and walked away without trying to compromise. Pacquiao should realize he is not in the same league as Floyd anymore and this has been like this since 2011. Both need to compromise a little to make this fight happen and leave the ego's aside because in my opinion they both are content with not fighting one another due to their ego's and pride. Floyd should give Pacquiao some PPV and Manny should fall back on requesting 50% because #s don't lie and Mayweather is the top earner. Only way the fight gets made is if cooler heads prevail AND they have to want it by not making it a pissing contest.

First off a boxing fanatic doesn't get insulted off of another person's post about a topic that has pretty much been stretched out over the years. Second, can you take anything out of that post that made me out to be a fan boy or that wasn't facts? Ego's are to blame CHECK. Pacquiao doesn't want to give into Mayweather's demands CHECK. Mayweather IS the bigger fighter/boxer of the 2 value and money wise CHECK. Arum did say he needed to build a stadium before they could fight, CHECK. So what exactly did I say to make me out to be a Floyd apologist?

Look at your sig, it automatically makes you a floyd fanboy.

Please answer me this question, in floyd's last fight against maidana was it a fair boxing match?

Floyd told maidana what gloves to wear, he had a huge ring, bayless would tell them to break even if they werent clinching so Maidana couldnt work on the inside (his biggest strength btw).

Maidana had to get the ko or completely dominate which is a hard task against someone as skilled as floyd.

Yeah yeah yeah. Keep dreaming that your sig is to remind me that there are two sides to every story by only presenting one side of the story. Peace out.

I'm only presenting one side but in this article it pertains to both parties. One tried to make the fight (Floyd) and the other didn't (Pacquiao) and now almost 6 years later..... here we are with the wack ass back and forth from both.

I agree, both need to see their place in the situation and act accordingly but as we have seen for years they can't do it. I agree Manny and his team have been hard to work with at time also and that there are many many factors that need to be agreed/sorted through for this to ever take place and money is only one of them, it annoys me to see Floyd use it in this way. It's not like he even came out and responded to Manny's comment and said 'Ok, we can fight but I want 60-40 blah blah', or any comment remotely close to a negotiation standpoint, Instead as a reaction to Manny saying he would fight him he dove straight in with a 'No coz he is desperate for money' attitude. It's pathetic and seems to me that more and more people are slowly seeing that for what it is.

So having this sig makes me a fan boy but what about if you had a sig about Manny would that make you a fan boy also? I have this as a sig because frankly I'm tired of people being blind to what is reality and truth because of personal out looks and views about the situation. Lets be real about the Maidana fights. First fight the other referee (Tony Weeks) let Maidana get away with kicking Mayweather and not to mention tackling him, headbutting and doing all other dirty tactics to win.

And I could remember Maidana saying the gloves were not an issue if he had proper time to train in them (rematch) but in the first fight Maidana got caught with illegal gloves and Floyd got nervous and didn't let him wear the same gloves which were deemed legal. Dude got spooked and could you blame him if someone tried to go into a fight with gloves with less padding in them? All the blame always goes to Floyd but Maidana made it that way. He is a grown man and must accept responsibility for his actions as well because prior to that...... Mayweather was going to let him wear the gloves he preferred in the first fight.
