Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Hopefully I'll Face Floyd Mayweather Next Year

[IronDanHamza]

I think that fight is too horrible to happen

Same but I thought the same about Algeri so who knows.

Now i'm just confused. One day he says he is planning on going back to 140, the next day they say his next opponent is jessica vergas and today he is saying he wants Floyd Mayweather Jr.

wich one is it manny?

He didn't say when or what order.

Say what the people want to hear, then allow your career to be steered in an entirely different direction. I don't care for this fight, I can't express that enough, just fight credible opponents and I'm good. At the very least do that.

Very well said! I can't understand Pacquiao. How does moving out of the welterweight division help you get a fight with Floyd? At least Floyd is not even talking about fighting you. Why is Manny still talking about a Mayweather fight? And Mayweather is not the entire WW, or Jr. WW division, there are other credible opponents! Oscar, Haymon, and Roach, are all onboard for a Pac vs. Garcia bout. Why not that? Why not Khan or Porter? Why not Kell Brook? Algeri? Vargas? Really Manny?

I can't think of an undefeated fighter who's had as many questionable victories, that guy is horrible.

all posters above me are mayweather fans that dont want the fight to happen. predictably the blood test, arum and dontaenation interview will be mention.
vargas will be also discuss in passing- as in a concrete fact that pacquiao would be fighting him. manny's move to 140 will be repeated over and over again- they are very sure that manny will drop his 147 title because manny has not ever hold two division title at the same time because only floyd could do that.

Plenty of good options as well, they can't say it's because Mayweather is "ducking" now, there isn't any excuse not to fight Garcia or Kell Brook. I'd even be fine with Matthysse, Maidana or Porter.

So should we ignore what Roach has said about moving down? Should we ignore what Vargas has said about fighting Manny next? Should we ignore what Oscar says about talks with Arum for a Danny Garcia fight?

Not only that, they can't use the "Haymon" excuse either because Oscar said Haymon was all in for a Danny Garcia fight too. The only excuse i'll give Manny is Arum, but that's a weak excuse too, because he re-signed with the guy after he killed the fight in 2012.

vargas should be ignored.

manny wanted floyd at 147. so what if manny move down to 140.

manny got a fight in november. and no one knows who will floyd and manny will be be fighting in 2015. its too early.

right now we are just making some predictions about everything. and its rather silly.

You might be correct, time will tell (don't hold your breath). I can ignore Vargas, but I can't ignore the fact that Roach has been saying Manny will be moving down since the Bradley fight. I can't ignore Roach saying "We don't want Khan, we want Danny Garcia." I can't ignore that Mayweather has plenty of other money-making opportunities (Cotto, Canelo, GGG, and Khan) without involving Arum. I can't ignore Mayweather threatening to fire his father/trainer for saying Pacquiao is next. My money says no Mayweather fight in 2015.
