As a neutral observer I'm floored that his fans keep buying his excuses. The guy actually said, "what if I lose?" Yet his fans really believe he was or is willing to make the fight.

***8220;If I don't ask for a larger share, and then what if I lose? He's fine because he's a congressman, but I'm just a boxer,***8221; said Floyd Mayweather Jr. according to Manny Pacquiao, during Manny***8217;s interview with ANC***8217;s HeadStart.
While in general, it***8217;s hard to distinguish a truth from a lie when it comes to boxers criticizing each other in an attempt to shift blame, I think that in this case, Manny misunderstood, mixed something up or is simply making up information to point more fingers at Floyd Mayweather Jr.
This, to me, is as ridiculous of a story as Floyd saying, without any hard evidence, that Pacquiao was using performance-enhancing drugs. I am sorry, but I just cannot see the ****y and overly confident Mayweather Jr. saying anything like that to anybody.
First of all, I doubt that anybody reading this article would label Mayweather Jr. as ***8220;just a boxer,***8221; including Floyd himself. We all know that at this very moment, he is an unbeaten dominant champion, just like Manny Pacquiao, and nothing less.
Questioning his chances of winning also doesn***8217;t sound like Mayweather Jr. He has never, throughout his entire career, shown any lack of confidence against any opponent. Voicing any fear, now, would be an image suicide.
The whole circus of events encircling these two and their long-awaited, much-anticipated bout is becoming not only repetitive, but most importantly boring. Boring things lose momentum, they lose value, and thus effort to make it a reality depletes. Their prospective of fighting each other, despite still being a blockbuster of hope and excitement, is getting boring.
***8220;Even if he has a bigger guaranteed purse than me, that's fine. There's no problem as long as we have a 50-50 split on the pay-per-view revenues,***8221; concluded Pacquiao.Last edited by The Big Dunn; 10-03-2014, 01:22 PM.Comment

Those are the only Floyd fans you see defending him still. Because it makes absolutely no sense to even rationalize his responses and prolonging of fighting Pac.
Some Floyd fan even said they wont give Floyd credit if he beat pacman, well no **** it will just further justify the criticism that he waits for guys to lose or look vulnerable before fighting them.
Floyd could have shut all the critics up and beat Pacman in his prime, no one could have said jack. and anyone who did would just be a hater at that point.Comment

Because the few fans who defend him unconditionally have racial pride or bias.

Hey ****rider, I did read it, and you bolding certain aspects lets me know you thought what manny said was bull****, understand? If he didn't say that Floyd would have sued him, that's how this situation has played out, one big legal mess.Comment
