Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: UAE Group Make Huge Offer

[MisanthropicNY]

Why do we even entertain these BS articles... Floyd will NEVER fight outside of Nevada... too many advantages he has with NSAC...

I don't care if they offer Mayweather $1 Billion, he will not take the fight outside of Nevada... you'd be lucky to get Floyd to fight Pacquiao period... now you want him to fight overseas...

Floyd is the most protected fighter of all time... he wines and cries and has no heart...

Let's work on getting Floyd to fight Pacquiao in Vegas... without demanding Pac not wear Reyes gloves or some other BS condition...

By "let's work" you mean exactly who?

As much as i would like this to be true, this looks like something a writer on boxingscene has fabricated, after all their main objective is to get traffic.

Where is the source of this "interview"? There is no trace of this interview anywhere else.
Look at how the interview start. " A Investment group". What investment group? Akbar Productions, LLC? Theres no trace of this other than linkedin page of M. Akbar Muhammad, who has apparently worked at top rank for 12 years? Surely there would be more information on him.

Why is the groups actual name not mentioned in the quotes, surely you would want to be promoting yourself other than referring to your self as the "group".

So did Mayweather ever win that MW title in Dubai?

"let's work" meaning the public. Public opinion and disapproval of Mayweather opponents is the only way to get him to fight Manny... Showtime didn't even release the official PPV numbers for Mayweather-Maidana II... obviously those projected numbers were fake... kind of like how Mayweather's $20 million for Wrestlemania was fake and he only earned like $5 mil.

Public ridicule and the boycotting of Floyd fights is the only way to get him to fight Pac or else... see my sig about Floyd happy to fight "duds"...

There have always been investment groups interested. Some heavy hitters have gone public with their interest now that hype for the fight is back near 2009 levels.

There was even one investment group, Falcon Hawk entertainment interested in making the fight happen and even managing member Roger Mayweather was unable to convince Floyd to get on board.

As I understand it, Floyd should get around 100 million and Pac 80 or so.

If the purse is there, why not fight over seas? I know Pacman is down.

That said, I just hope they get enough together to do it in Cowboys stadium so I can go see it live.

Floyd doesnt fight outside of vegas. No xylocaine available.

Floyd won't accept. He is still dead scared of Pacquiao.

You said it well sir!!!!

Self promotion aligning your self with what ever is current, its basic marketing. I am sure there are investment groups interested and have been previously, but this interview seems faked, which would be very shameful on boxing scenes part. Hope i am wrong..

Mayweather is afraid of pacquiao plain and simple.
