Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Held To One Point in PBA Basketball Debut

[puga]

Somebody really needs to show pac a reality check "hey you suck at bball and whatever dream you have on it, forget it before you embarrass yourself any further"... pba is a f0cken joke if you ask me allowing **** like this, they just lost all credibility imo...

[doom_specialist]

It's a shame that a man who has pretty much dedicated his life to the sport we love is being **** on, because he had a terrible pro debut in his second sport, at age 35, and while also training for an upcoming fight. That he's even on the court playing pro ball is an achievement. You've got to respect that a little bit, even if you aren't a fan.

Twice with unfair conditions and demands compared to Moseley, Cotto, Guerrero, Ortiz, Maidana, etc.

But 20+ excuses not to make the fight.

Stop it with that unfair conditions garbage. If they were so unfair why would Roach say it was their fault? Or why would Pac impose those same "unfair conditions" on other fighters? Unfair compared to Mosley etc? They all took the tests so nice try. Let's forget Pac's unfair conditions and demands......not to mention his 20+ excuses not to make the fight right?

But Floyd went on to say other controversial, hypocrite, contradicting things throughout his life. If he said it was going to be the end of the world tomorrow, would you believe that? I mean I signing a contract when the other party is there doesn't count. If he signed the contract in the room with Manny Pacquiao, and Manny Pacquiao said no and left the room, that's more convincing.

But the fact is, is that Floyd accused Pacquiao of PEDs for wrong reasons, he wasn't KOing guys easily like some other boxers do. He didn't want to fight the man, he checked Vegas odds and saw he was the underdog, he saw Pacquiao obliterate Hatton and said, "**** that!"

Why would Pacquaio being there be more convincing? The contract was signed, sealed, delivered. Yahoo sports doesn't have a reason to lie about that, and it clearly says they retrieved the document. It detailed everything from purse spit to who gets on the scales first at the weigh-in. So nope, not buying your opinion that he was scared. His actions point to him being ready to go. We all know Pac walked away solely because of drug testing, and that's shady to say the least.

Manny Pacquiao averaged a million, Floyd was around retirement, he probably dropped from p4p ratings while Pacquiao was still at the top. Steroids accusations was an insult especially because it wasn't huge of a deal. Floyd and Pacquiao were basically the A-Side. Pacquiao imposing the same conditions, he was the ultimate A-Side. Mosley took the test, because he was the B-Side obviously. What unfair conditions and demands did Pacquiao say? They weren't excuses not to have the fight.

Floyd has more of a reason to duck Pacquiao compared to Pacquiao ducking Floyd. Please use your brain brother because I know you're not this slow.

That's not how you negotiate and sign a major contract. You need to learn the business in general. Who signs a contract and mails it to the other? Are you serious? Pacquiao took tests and passed them all. The document was written by a lawyer, why did Shaefer say he didn't recall saying 50/50? And why didn't Floyd offer 50/50 in the 2nd negotiations and instead offered $40 million with no PPV buys?

Like I said before, Floyd has more to lose in this fight and has more of the reasons to avoid Pacquiao than Pacquiao avoiding Floyd. Please use your brain.

10 mil per lb overweight penalty. If you want to see one is unfair, then so is the other. Floyd has NEVER come in overweight to a weigh in, no matter what you are gonna say next about Marquez.

They weren't excuses not to have the fight?
1.Taking blood close to the fight make me weak? That wasn't an excuse when now we know it turned out to be a lie?
2. Can't take the tesst within 30 days?
3. Cut needs 6 month to heal?
4. Stadium needs to be built?
5. Arum doesn't know who to call?

Really? Please tell me YOU are not this slow!


I am using my brain and my ears and eyes too. You want to believe your OPINION, yet FREDDIE ROACH himself, someone who has no reason to admit it, says that it WAS THEIR FAULT! He knows more about the situation than you do and he represents Pac. By the way, go back and look, there were LOTS of excuses from Pac's side. Why are you ignoring those and concentrating just on the things Floyd said?

1. This was Floyd NEGOTIATING. He started low, didn't even bother to negotiate. Ariza has said since he was still with Pac that he wasn there and Pac could've negotiated and didn't even bother.

2. Why would he offer him 50/50 again when Floyd had proven to be the much larger draw?
