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

[HIGHNESS]

Why would he accept any offer like that when he was clearly the A side at that time. That would be ******.



He was the bigger draw because he had a larger PPV average larger grosses. If Pac didn't believe this he never would've said that he would take less than 50/50.

Again, this was a starting point where Pac COULD'VE negotiated from, yet he decided not to. Ariza confirmed this.

You're not really being rational nor logical. Of course Floyd had larger averages, he only fought 2 times. JMM and Mosley were big names. Had he fought other opponents with less names, his average PPV would be smaller. Ariza is a bitter man who still hates Roach, nor was he there to listen to the convo. So of course he will side with Floyd so he has a job. Again, Pacquiao's camp counter offered with $50 million, and winner gets 55% and loser gets 45%, but Floyd rejected,

So he is the head coach....and drafted himself with the 1st pick????

Anyway live your life Pacman

lol i was thinking the same thing like couldnt he of just signed or something lol

[JustinFloyd]

manny using his popularity to live his life to the fullest. he sucks at singing and basketball, he enjoys doing those though. most of us would cringe because he's doing the "sucking" publicly in truth we are just jealous because we cant do those things in fear of humiliation.

Actually, KIA is the one using his popularity for their benefits. Well, i thought worst that this! lol! it will more humiliating in few more games for pac! but I think one sport that Pac is good is billiards. I

Um, Floyd came in overweight vs Marquez...this is where you lost credibility. I know Pacquiao went overweight once, but when was the second time?

1. It wasn't an excuse, just a concern, but it doesn't mean he won't do it.

2. Floyd was strict on 14 days, I mean they'll be tested within a similar span anyway, what difference would it make if it was 24 days?

3. Yahoo Sports deleted the link, but the Surgeon did say the wound was deep: http://www.philstar.com/sports/75183...-cut-down-bone

4. Point is, is that they wanted more seats. They didn't give a time span, so it would have been done.

5. You made that up.

You have to use your brain. Compared to all those excuses and they're not even excuses not to have the fight, at most, they're excuses to delay the fight longer for it to happen later on in the year. These excuses are more excuses NOT to have the fight:

Blood test, Blood test dates, Health is more important, $40 million with NO PPV buys, Told pacquiao on the phone "what if i lose?", Semi-Retirement after the first negotiations not thinking about boxing anymore, Manny needs to sign with Mayweather Promotions to get the fight, No Bob Arum (wasnt an excuse back then), Pacquiao needs to avenge his losses to bradley (robbed) and marquez (wont give rematch), Pacquiao got tax problems, Pacquiao dont do high PPV anymore, Floyd says he will vacate the WBC belt if pacquiao the mandatory, Floyd never answered the fight for charity, and most these excuses on repeat by the greatest self proclaimed boxer of all time. New excuse is to have the fight only be shown from Showtime and on Mayweather Promotions banner only. Yet Mayweather screwed up already as a promoter in Maidana 2 fight, hence why he's having problems with Ellerbe, and HBO is more common in households than Showtime. Come on man, you have to be smarter than this, must be all the Jollibee.

Mayweather tells Arum to contact Schaefer to start putting the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight together
January 17th, 2012 |

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao manny pacquiao floyd mayweather jr By Chris Williams: Floyd Mayweather Jr. responded to feedback from Top Rank CEO Bob Arum today on his twitter account, letting Arum know who his management representative is to start putting a fight together between him and Arum’s fighter Manny Pacquiao.

Mayweather told Arum to contact Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer to start negotiating the fight. Mayweather did this in response to Arum saying he couldn’t start negotiating a mega fight with Mayweather and Pacquiao because he didn’t know who Mayweather’s representative was and he wasn’t just going to deal with anyone that contacts him out of the blue saying that they work for Mayweather.

First off the link doesn't work. Second, that's a bias website, always favoring a boxer. Third, isn't Mayweather his own boss? Why all of a sudden he needs Shaefer to go talk for him? Do you know who Floyd's representative is? This is not an excuse for Pacquiao to not have the fight against Floyd...this is not even news at all. A lot of people don't know who other peoples representative is.

You said that already man, you can't say anything else? You're on repeat because you're stumped. Point is, Floyd does not want the fight, he doesn't want it now because of his new excuses that are impossible to comply, and he didn't want it then. And then you call me a troller when you started first? lol I provide facts with links, you and your Floyd fan friends provide opinions from being bias. Floyd doesn't want to fight Pacquiao.

If I've repeated myself, it's because you are too dense to understand anything. No one is stumped. You're just an idiot.

What facts? What links? The one that says Yahoo Sports has the contract? lol. You do realize this ****s all over all of the dense bs you've been spewing. You talk a lot but have no idea what you're talking about. You tried to say you know how a fight is negotiated but had no idea Arum took the contract to Pac in the Phils. You said they can't rescind a 50/50 offer after the fight wasn't made initially. Do you realize how idiotic you are? Don't even respond to me, man. You've embarrassed yourself enough.

I understand your frustration of your hero and you try hard like many Floyd fans to make Floyd the good guy and seem like he didn't duck. But I'm not here to fight. I've provided proof and evidence but you only provide opinion. I can understand you have nothing else to say. How about this, this is what I can agree on. The fight not happening is 10% Pacquiao's fault, 30% Arum's fault, and 60% Floyd's fault. I think this is fair. If you don't agree, then you're just another bias fan.

Both sides are blaming eachother. But if youre an unbiased boxing fan and you see 1 guy who is 47-0 and the other who is 56-5-2...who is more likely the scared one? Pacquiao fighting and losing the fight Floyd will not hurt nearly as much for Manny as Floyd losing his 0 to Manny. Floyd's career and legacy is banking on his undefeated record because his style isn't crowd pleasing and his personality and rep outside of boxing is the worst. It's common sense.

I'm still waiting for your proof and evidence.

The facts are Mayweather made an offer, and it was refused by Pac due to drug testing.

Answer this question: If Pac made Marquez an offer, but Marquez refused because he didn't want to do drug testing, who would you say ducked the fight? That's all I want to know. I'll await your response.

Pacman already said he has agreed to the Olympic testing since 2012 and requesting for a 14 day window initially, not refusing to be tested as you put it...get your facts straight. The latest snag has nothing to do with drug testing.

What's with your rhetorical question in regards to JMM/Pacman? They've fought eachother 4 times already, a 5th would have happened but JMM wanted more than the proposed $10 million.
