Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: The WBC Issues a Statement

[megadeth]

The only admission that needs to be made is Floyd's ducking of Pacquiao through the years with the most pitiful of excuses. I'm sorry your hero is being thrown to the wolves by the media because he won't fight a fight that should have happened and been done with 5 years ago..........

I will take that as ducking the questions! Thanks Coward!

I see what you are saying but look at the current events. Floyd has been called out by Pac recently. The powers that be are working to make the fight happen (for example, with CBS/Showtime and Arum). People were waiting for what Floyd's response was and all he did was post a video of Pac getting knocked out by Marquez. Remove your Floyd fan-tinted glasses for a second and understand why people are reacting negatively to it.

Floyd's response cast doubt on his intentions (if any) to accept Pac's challenge. So of course, people will think that he's still not interested in fighting Pacquiao.

I don't have "Floyd fan-tinted glasses" on. Sitting back and waiting to see what happens is called BEING IMPARTIAL! Yelling because one side is saying something and the other is not is not being impartial, because we have ZERO idea what is really going on behind the scenes! Boy I wish I had heard these same reactions from these people when Pac turned down the fight!

How does putting up a gif of Pac getting Ko'd cast doubt? Why couldn't that gif indicate what he is planning to do to Pac? It's because that is what you guys WANT to believe, that's why!

You ****** fuck, if you had an ounce of brain, you would realize that those belts mean absolutely nothing to a mega-fight between Pac & Floyd. They both can dump all the belts in the trash and it wouldn't affect the fight in any way, shape or form.

Hmmm okay screw the belts and those pesky sanctioning fee's. Apparently they mean nothing. That's why Manny being an eight division world champ going up against the five division world champ in Mayweather is utterly meaningless

Why doesn't Floyd just vacate all the belts and then no one can force a fight with Mr. TBE????

I agree with you that that is one way to look at it, but what has Mayweather verbally said before? "Pacquiao has Marquez problems" and this video implies that as well. Why blame fans for thinking that when Floyd gave out that idea himself? You can state that Floyd means he's going to KO Pac out like Marquez did but that is just one interpretation: yours.

Mayweather could've easily went on his computer and typed "Hell yeah let's get this fight done" but no.

.....uh.. your welcome... I guess?












That doesn't change the fact that Floyd is a chicken who has avoided Manny Pacquiao since 2009.... have fun living and justifying your support for Floyd for years to come

I guess you don't realize that he did that not once, but twice previously while Pac turned down the fight and yet he was STILL the one accused of ducking!

How you can say that with a straight face, when his own trainer say the opposite, I don't know, but.....uh...ok....I guess!

You're displaying Ignorance at its finest! ........ "peeleft:

Nobody gives a damn about belts, all they know is that the two best fighters in the world, ten years running, are going to fight. That's the punchline!!!!

1st round of negotiations, I can say that the ball was in Pac's court and he should've just taken the test and fought Floyd. So Pac's team screwed up there.

2nd round of negotiations with the $40mil flat fee and no PPV is just straight-up unfair for Pac, so I blame Floyd's side for messing up that one.

Now, everyone's just trying to get this fight done since both are about to retire. I'm sure everyone would be happier if Floyd just verbally stated that he too would finally like to fight in response to Pac's challenge, but all we got was a video of KTFO6.

So were u one screaming about Pac ducking? Especially since it was the very best time for the fight to be made?

Pac could've negotiated but didn't even bother. Confirmed by Alex Ariza. NOT TO MENTION, even if that were true, what was Arum saying about making the fight then?

I would too....but I will be patient, wait and see what happens, rather than talk trash and look like a fool if the fight gets made.
