Comments Thread For: 50 Cent: I Don't See Mayweather Taking Pacquiao Fight

[MisanthropicNY]

When Floyd is 50... he'll try to look for the spotlight with a book or some BS movie or something on his life... and everyone will laugh at him when he says he's TBE...

Nobody is buying that bag of **** Floyd is trying to sell...

It will be Ali or Ray Robinson 1-2 considered the greatest of all-time in most people's eyes...

Floyd doesn't even make the top 10...

I can see if Mayweather is not fighting Pacquiao because he's moving up to fight Cotto/Triple G for the Middleweight title which would add to his legacy... but look who Floyd has been fighting instead of Pacquiao?

Maidana who lost 12 rounds to zip to Alexander who was dominated by the Bradley who Pac dominated twice.. Needed a rematch for Maidana?

The Ghost is a one-dimensional tomato who has beaten nobody at WW (Berto is trash and doesn't matter)

Canelo was a good fight for Floyd but he fought him 152 after he said draining a fighter makes the fight not count...

So Floyd fights a decent opponent once every like 3-4 years... and that's so lame......

Good points, I'm sure Floyd fans will come up with **** to justify fighting them but the truth is they're not very good aside from canelo who was being outboxed by Alfonso Gomez, so it's no shock Floyd could school him.

To question who Floyd is fighting instead Pacquiao is debatable. Whether those opponents are better than Pacquiao's opponents is NOT debatable. Floyd's opponents are way better than Bradley, Rios, and Algeri. Again, it can't be said enough, Manny/Arum turned down 2 fight offer! One for blood testing, Two for cuts, stadiums, etc. You have to stop blaming Floyd WITHOUT blaming Manny/Arum also. It makes you lose all credibility.

So Dan Rafael and Yahoo Sports and all of the other media who are saying Mayweather's camp is not helping to make the fight... that's just Bob Arum propaganda?

The media is just making it all up that Mayweather's camp isn't trying to make the fight happen???

Yeah, sure...

Dan Rafael also clearly blamed Arum for the failure of the 2nd negotiations, when Arum blamed cuts, stadiums, etc. Again, 2 offers, 2 failed negotiations due to Arum/Manny:

Friday's turn of events made that pretty clear. There have been previous negotiations and lots of rhetoric. At various times throughout this whole ordeal, I believe both sides have been to blame.

But at this moment, the fault of a fight not being made falls squarely on the shoulders of Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, who, in my view, simply doesn't want to make the match at a moment when there seems to be no legitimate impediment.

Look, as long as I have been watching this sport I can tell you Floyd is one of the best to lace up a pair of gloves but when it comes to dangerous fights he steers clear of them and always has. Now he did fight Canelo and Castillo who were dangerous but both were slow fighters. He will never get in the ring with Pacquiao because he is faster, and definitely the bigger puncher, and a south paw on top of that. He knows in his heart I believe that he would get KO against the little Filipino. That thought frightens him, especially in the biggest fight of all time. I also believe that Floyd will get passed over in the HOF his first eligible year, because of him dodging this fight. (He will get in, but not his first year of eligibility) Just my 2 cents

[FloydvsPac]

I have news for you, rookie. All fights are business decisions. Do you actually think that Bob Arum picked Rios and Algieri to fight Pacquaio because that is what the fans wanted to see? Do you think he has Jesse Vargas lined up as Pac's next fight because Pac's fans are demanding it?

Do you actually believe that The Bradley/Chavez fight this weekend is being held to please the fans wheh fans would be much more pleased to see Bradley/Provodnikov or Bradley against another quality fighter? Do you think Amir Khan is fighting Alexander this weekend because he wanted to give the fans the fight that we missed out on last year instead of the fact that he wants to get a shot at Mayweather and beating a decent opponent is the only way to do it?

Are you ****** enough to think that any fighter (especially Pacquaio) fights for the fans?

You haters write BS like this on a daily basis about Floyd, but you bury your head in the sand when it comes to Pacquaio and every other fighter on the planet!"peeleft:

You are a troll. You gotta get over hating Pacquiao. I understand someone getting annoyed with some of his rabid fans. But you seem to irrationally HATE the guy. You seem to be one of those floyd diehards that lives vicariously through Floyd's greed, vanity and criminal and obnoxious behavior because deep down you want to be like that too, but you can't. Why else would you try to rationally defend his antics? It's sad.

Lol at the paid bums of TMT telling the media Floyd is very eager to make the fight...nothing can make lil Floyd fight pac. He will cherry pick to retirement.

The bold is a flat out lie; Bradley is better than anyone Floyd has faced since Cotto.


Don't be a ******.

I don't care how great a boxer Floyd is, I'd rather watch Pacquiao fight Marquez ten more times than watch another one of his comfort zone fights against the Guerreros and Maidanas. And where has he been on the recent revival of talks about fighting Pacquiao. Silent! And meanwhile Manny is making commercials calling him out.

2009 - 60/40
2010- 50/50 Ost
2010 - 50/50 14 day cut off
2012 - 50/50
2014 - $40 mil + 35%

All those offers were fair and all were turned down by Pacquiao.

Floyd: I will never do business with Arum

2010: PAC with Arum
2011: PAC with Arum
2012: PAC with Arum
2013: PAC with Arum
2014: PAC with Arum
