Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Says Mayweather Fight is Not About Money, Ego

[puroylan]

I like both fighters for what they have done in the sport of boxing in the last 10 years but if Floyd refused to fight Manny this time around, then it will not be fair for the boxing fans. Whether you're a Pacman or Floyd fan, we all deserve to see this fight happen.

Why would it be different now? So Floyd is not fighting again if they don't fight? Wonder what would carry more prestige..Floyd fighting a WW against Khan, Thurman, Cotto rematch or Manny MOVING DOWN, fighting Vargas, Crawford, Garcia??!!

manny has been criticized for not consolidating titles. this would be the first time he would be holding all titles in a division. and getting his 6th lineal title.
legacy wise it is better than fighting khan, thurman.
and retiring being an undisputed champ at 140 is better than having a a paper title at 147. floyd fight wont happen so no one would be undisputed champ at 147.

Ok, so why are u saying that one moves towards and one away when they both have done it? He changed it because that was what he originally wanted, Pac declined and then Floyd had more leverage. What's strange to me is that you are condemning Floyd for changing the cutoff, when there shouldn't have been any cutoff to begin with! We found out later that there was absolutely NO realy reason for it! So why aren't you condemning Pac for demanding it in the first place, rather than Floyd for changing it?

Ok, but u could already see he was trying to bypass Arum when he called Pac.

So why would he change it back to make it worst if he really was trying to make the fight! He changed it for the worst why are u acting like ur not seeing that? Like I said I can understand floyd changing his view on giving manny 50/50 but why would he change a cut off date if he was really trying to make the fight?

Yes, both have changed their minds but u can't even argue that manny changes his to make it worst. It's not like pac is coming out with new demands, "I want 50/50", "12 days cut off", etc.

Pac is actually changing his mind trying to compromise on this situation. he has done what floyd and his fans wanted, he's being the b-side in this but now it's a bad thing?

Floyd has also asked for catch weights but manny has never ask his opponents to wear pillow gloves...

Again, since when are 8oz gloves EVER pillows?


Of course we ignore the first part though, right? And Pac has a lot more catchweights and requests for them. I don't see you mentioning that in a derogatory manner.

when floyd retires and the hype died down. floyd will never be at the top 20.
manny's jmm loss means nothing to his atg status.

remind me to never take u seriously again.. the most devastating KO arguably of the last 30 years will mean nothing?? what about his two KO losses in the Philippines. .oh let me guess they dont count cuz he was too young lol .. with or without manny floyd goes down as the better fighter, pac stans wont agree but then again their opinions really dont matter, history books will speak

Beause there was no reason to have a cutoff date in the first place.

I just showed u how. They originally said that OSDT(all the way up to the fight) was ok, then moved to 24 days. That is making it worse. In fact, it was the only reason the fight didn't get done. Why do you keep ignoring this. You are talking about stuff that never would've even happened had Pac not changed to make thing worse, yet you are ignoring that part.

Pac is actually changing his mind trying to compromise on this situation. he has done what floyd and his fans wanted, he's being the b-side in this but now it's a bad thing?

Now he is, originally he wasn't and that's why we haven't seen the fight. Not to mention, if he had the leverage you and I know that he wouldn't be doing it. Why do you try to make him out to be a saint when history shows differently?

they'll be counting hof opponents- specially right now that there are so many paper titles. pacquiao got more.
duran also got knocked out the same way but he'll always be greater than floyd in any atg list.
and floyd will be remembered as the one ducking manny, not the other way around.

Lebron James bet ... interesting.

Yeah. the king of the basketball court backs pacquiao to ko mayflower... I mean mayweather. And he's backing it up with 50 million $$$s if mayweather dares to take the fight and then his challenge. Lebron knows what he's doing by choosing the best fighter ever. nitramzaid@hotmail.com
