Comments Thread For: Pacquiao on Mayweather: Maybe He's Scared To Lose

[smoothsmg]

Obviously Floyd as the A side would have his lawyers draw up a contract and Floyd would sign it and send it to Manny. Hes said many times hes waiting for them to send him a signed contract why is that so hard for you blow hards to understand

Really? This is why this site has not been fun. Instead of having an adult conversation about boxing, most resort to name calling. Sad!!!

i'm tired of hearing "a" side and "b" side....I think those are the new excuses used now to not fight,we already know who the a side is in a fight,but these fighters are taking it to another level and using that as an excuse to avoid certain fighters

[tiliheels]

I doubt Manny is lying, he agreed to whatever, and it makes sense, he really doesnt have a choice, last fight was a dud on PPV and he really doesnt have a plan B opponent. So i do believe he agreed to Floyds terms.

My guess is Floyd is waiting for Super Bowl to announce the fight.

look this is fact..manny said he would take 40 million..on showtime floyd said all he could get is 40 million...this 60/40 split would be more than that..why u would u give a man more that he agreed to? there is room for a possible lie...in plus pressuring a man normally means u want him to make a hasty decision..there were multiple deals on the table i hear..if manny picked the one that suits him best thats not a sure fire figth maker..

right, if they (well actually only manny) stops then i thnk the fight gets made..pressuring floyd telling everyone a possible lie about signing is not the way to make this fight

When he wasn't pressuring Floyd, everyone thought Manny really didn't want it and the fight was never close to being made. Ever since the foot locker commercial everything started happening like the negotiations and Floyd saying he wants the fight. Public pressure is the way to go because now there can be no excuses, there will be a huge Floydcott if he ducks this fight again

Yet more ether from manny

Floyd needs to hire a PR team because it's looking bad for Floyd out there

Watch the video on espn's boxing site.

Pac says he's waiting on the signed contract from them and added that he agreed to their terms.

So basically, preliminary negotations had Floyd's team set out terms for the fight. Pac agreed to all the terms and made his intentions clear. Now Pac is waiting on Floyd to sign off on it.

So simple. Watch the video. Look at Pac's body posture and speed in answering the question regarding Floyd. Pacquaio is a lot more believable and his talk is genuine.

son i'ma film producer that video had cut after cut..when u see that dont believe much..i felt it was like reading class for him..a piece that espn knew they need..he likely got paid for that btw..i dont think there is any truth to this figth in the media..btw im a manny fan before u killm e w/ ***** talk..

Manny never ever said he would agree to 40 million, he laughs about that whenever someone brings it up. He found it offensive that he was offered that and he should have. You guys are just searching so hard and twisting words and making stuff up and taking little things they say and develop whole big conspiracy theories. Face the music dude Floyd is ducking and he always has been. He said right before the algieri fight that he would fire his dad for even mentioning that he should fight pacquiao, he said he would rather fight two bums instead. That was an interview with fighthype, then after the algieri fight after Manny called him out he started acting like he wanted the fight but as you can see he really doesnt

ok pressure is used to get to the table..its should not be used to look like a cry baby B side..that wants the A side to make a hasty decision about the networks...I'm not a floyd, but a huge manny fan, and i'm losing respect for my man and his team..b/c they are about to let this fish swim out again due to bad business tactics..to me it looks like they are looking for the best deal b/c they dont think they will win and wont get a rematch..so make all the money they can make now..wotn work b/c floyd wont **** himself for arum, manny, or even his fans..and his fans dont even want him to **** himself over they want him to get all his money and demands

Floyd to Manny: "What if I lose? We need to make as much money as we can from this fight." #Facts
