I don't think these posters want the fight made at all..cause then they will have to stop calling Floyd a coward and make a new excuse to discredit him...watch if/when..the fight is signed there will be tons of new excuses

Thurman not a bigger threat than canelo when he was undefeated - thurman last outing wasnt atrocious

i have to disagree with this. i saw many flaws in canelo going into the mayweather fight. i completely expected floyd to win that fight. canelo's stamina issues and his lack of devastating power gave me little reason to think he would somehow beat floyd. i don't think thurman would KO floyd but he could hit mayweather with something that makes floyd flare up and get more aggressive. this fight would be very tense and very competitive. he is also better technically and moves well. people say thurman looked bad against bundu but he was still winning every round. thurman would not get white washed. he would get some of those early rounds against floyd and if he puts him on ***** street things will get really interesting. if he beats floyd i would not think the world has ended. if canelo would have beaten floyd i would have been in shock, like when matthysse lost to danny garcia.

Pacquiao lives the same lifestyle as mayweather, owns 5 mansions and 22 sports cars, however he also donates a large portion of his money to charity. He just gave 7 million to a church 3 weeks ago.

Do you ever see Manny bragging about being atop the Forbes lost or posting pictures on Instagram when he buys a new Ferrari? No but he still does those things. Instead of ******** his mo ey away like Floyd he gives it to charity.

Hes not begging hes calling mayweather out like hes been doing for years but your false idol is scared.

I hate to bring up the facts to you, but Mayweather donates to charity as well (and has paid for boxers funerals-Hernandez and Frazier,etc) and Manny had such a bad ******** problem that he had to BORROW money from Arum....that's a fact.

Floyd and Pac live the SAME lifestyle-they just play differently to the media.

I guess you forgot that when Manny had a new sports car he had to display it to the public as well. If you keep your eyes open they live the same lifestyle.

Manny was knocking up hookers, cheating on his wife left right and center as well as ******** himself broke. Neither guy is TRULY a role model in the strictest sense....it is all about the good that the media has shown and what you choose to put your stock into.

People buy into the rags to riches story from Pac, but easily forgot that Mayweather was poor also and worked hard through boxing to provide for his family as well-BOTH guys have had their share of struggles...it is all what you choose to buy into and whom you choose to praise.

Its simple. Manny is plan out a threat to floyd and he knows that. A loss would be devastating to floyds empire. Everything he has built and how he has marketed himself can come crumbling down at the hands of manny.

Avoiding Manny has always been the smart business move for floyd. Not only breaking his zero loss record but it would destroy everything floyd claims to be.

And manny has the motivation and skills to do it. I don't blame floyd for wanting to stay away.

meanwhile floyd is not pleased that it is still continuing haha where the hell is he hiding now? i thought he was his own boss?

Truth is, Manny was the one who turned down the fights two times....what sorta facts do you think that Floyd was "ducking" when in fact he initiated two of the official negotiations? Why was Manny resilient towards the negotiations??? Both guys at least are talking-that's a positive sign.

As far as Floyd having more to lose in the event of a loss...Floyd has always had something to lose whomever he fights? He hasn't been an underdog for many years, nor has Pac. Anytime either guy lose their stocks drop...hell, Pac's stock hasn't been great since he got sparked by JMM.

At the end of the day, this is boxing and anything can happen when facing big punchers but I would say Mayweather has put himself out their against tougher and bigger punchers recently than Manny, so it isn't the risk of losing that has prevented the fight. Don't think for one second that Manny hasn't taken the easy path recently as well.

Umm...tell me how Floyd negotiating this fight several times equates to hiding. Looking at your picture tells me all I need to know why you are biased.

why would pac even say something like that when negotiations are taking place in a serious manner unless hes hoping floyd gets mad and walks away i dont get it
