Comments Thread For: Mayweather: My Focus is Pacquiao, Not Amir Khan

[Graphic]

Come on

The people on here that want Floyd to face Kahn make valid points but those who defend Floyd by saying "boo hoo Floyd cant win no matter who he picks" are just whiny *****es. The world wants to see Pac vs Floyd so don't act like everyones attacking Floyd because of a few people. Pac vs Floyd would sell more then 3 million ppv buys and most likely shatter the record. Floyd vs Kahn might hit 1 mill.

Now I will destroy your argument with facts.

Question
1- How has Pacqiuao dealed with defensive fighters who fight nice at the outside?
Marquez and Bradley (counterpunchers)

2 -How has Pacquiao dealed with offensive fighters who fight nice at the inside?
Rios, Margarito, Hatton, Diaz (come forward fighters who throws punches in bunches)

3 - Based on the two previous questions, what would you say is Pacquiao best asset, Outside or Inside?

Checkmate! come again being smart and I'll gladly accept the challenge

outside obviously lol....Rios, Margarito, Hatton, Diaz are offensive inside...which means they come forward and manny beats them from the outside..

Marquez and Bradley fight on the defensive from outside..which makes manny have to come inside ..

you proved your self wrong...checkmate!

Khan say he chased Money out the club lol

That's totally true, but read the whole paragraph to see what's my point, Manny is a fighter who beats easily inside fighters, but struggles with outside fighters, even thou Manny's biggest asset is the outside game,, this only proves that Pacquiao vs Mayweather is all wrong for Pacquiao.

Conclusion - Pacquiao style will never ever beat Floyd Mayweather.

If you can prove me wrong with intelligence I will debate.

No more excuses

I heard Pac say he's ready and I heard Floyd say he's ready the elephant in the room is Bob Arum

Quoted for truth!

One needs to only watch Pacquiao-Mosley to see how potentially easy this fight might be for Floyd. I mean that.

[wlliam]

now that canelo is probably facing cotto in may,floyd is now desperate to face pacquiao so his ppv numbers will be good, he knows if its not pac hell sell shyt ppv's....showtime is really trying hard for this fight so theycan make a lot of money,even if canelo/cotto fight on samedate od floyd/pac,it will have lower numbers, yeah it will outsell canelo/ cotto but that fight will take away a lot of ppv sales from floyd/pac so they still lose

Thats pathetic that Floyd wants to fight Pac and get good ppv #s?

SMH i really dont understand this logic

[KTFO]

Nice to see Floyd stick to his guns. Now all these greedy ****s need to sit down in a room and figure a way to split this money and make it happen. Pac, Floyd, Arum, Haymon, Koncz, Ellerbe, HBO, SHO, Oscar, DuBoef, Schaeffer, Pac's crazy a$$ mom, Miss Jackson, whoever...

[Detroit29]

I'm glad to see Floyd is firing back immediately after Arum says something. Arum said it would be disrespectful to Mexicans to poach that date. Was it disrespectful when Pac fought Hatton and Mosley on those dates? Keep answering Floyd. But you will still have those who will say Floyd doesn't want the fight.

That **** is mad funny! This **** here is all business:

I personally think that Mayweather is looking for the golden excuse to finally back out and never face Pacquiao.

Time is not on Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum’s side. If he pushes for Saul “Canelo” Alvarez getting the May 2nd date against Miguel Cotto, the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight may be lost for good. It’s too big a gamble, Floyd can’t be controlled. He would be willing to go head to head against the Canelo/Cotto PPV fight just to prove a point even if he loses potentially millions in the process. That’s my opinion whether he would be willing to do it is debatable but again not worth the risk.

Mayweather will be out of the boxing game soon enough. As far as fighting is concerned, let him have his dates it’s not that big of a deal. Canelo is still controllable. He’s understanding and doesn’t think he’s above all and would clearly understand what a bad business decision that would be.

If Arum pushes for Canelo having the May 2nd date then Mayweather Jr will no doubt respond with something like ‘I’m the A – side boxer,’ ‘I call the shots,’ ‘A – side gets first pick at whatever date he wants to fight on,’ ‘I gave team Pacquiao the opportunity to fight me on that date and they said no!,’ ‘this was their last chance at it, ‘no more chances!’ Trust my words, if Arum creates waves on this trying to salvage both fights, he will lose the Mayweather fight and a possible rematch which should be the supreme priority here, and in the process give Mayweather the golden excuse he so desperately wants to finally never face Pacquiao and his hands would be clean or at least have some reason to claim it.

Moreover, talks of a fifth fight hit a snag when it came to it came to money. Marquez said he would entertain the idea of fighting Pac is he got a 50/50 split. Pac refused to accommodate Marquez request because Manny believed he was still the bigger draw. Here’s what Roach told the sweet science on April 13th: “I want Marquez right away. Manny and I both want it. But Marquez wants just about 50/50 split. Manny brings but in seats pay per view wise. Manny is the guy…..I think both guys can ask for more (money) and Marquez deserves something, but not 50/50”. Roach also told that same website that Marquez was asking 20 million...

Why do I bring up this point? Pacquiao has asked for a 50/50 split from A side Floyd Mayweather and Floyd has stated it would not happen. Allow me to drop this reality on Pacquiao fans and Floyd haters.

If Floyd had lost his title to Bradley, was koed by Marquez, got his title back from Bradley, fought Brandon Rios and did 470,000 buys, regainec his title by beating Bradley, then fought Chris Algieri and brought in just over 300,000 buys, Bob Arum, Pacquiao, and trainer Freddie Roach, would likely go out of their way to let Floyd and the public know who the B side to the proposed mega would be.

First, Floyd couldn’t fight Algieri and get away with it. The internet would crash from the comments that would fill the blogs. Arum would not let Floyd come anywhere near a 50/50 split. I’m sure Arum would make Floyd take that 40 million dollar offer with 35% upside of the revenue or Arum would go elsewhere.

Pacquiao has said on many occasions that he would take less money to make this fight happen. But when a confirmed 40 million dollar offer with 35% of the revenue was made, it wasn’t enough? So Pacquiao can tell Marquez he doesn’t deserve a 50/50 split nor 20 million dollars and he isn’t ducking or pricing himself out? But Floyd tells Pacquiao he doesn’t deserve a 50/50 split and Pacquiao fans/Floyd haters are saying Floyd is ducking and purposely pricing himself out? How does that work?

Pacquiao gets no sympathy from me nor does his fans until they can explain to me why Marquez doesn’t deserve what he asked for when he CLEARLY earned it. So in the words of Roach and I’m going to add/take away a few words. Floyd’s wants Manny right away. But Pacquiao wants just about 50/50 split. Floyd’s brings in the numbers pay per view wise. Floyd is the guy…..I think both guys can ask for more (money) and Manny deserves something, but not 50/50.
