Comments Thread For: Ariza: Mayweather is Fighting on 5/2, Not With Pacquiao

[Johnny Rubber]

No he won't. Mayweather just thanked him on Twitter for setting the story straight.

This farce is getting better and better. Will boxing survive 2015 as a reputable sport?

Bob arum has been left by fighters..al haymon can get anyone he wants, but fans dont see something is going on here...if there is a contract dont talk about it show bob...i'm tired of you ruining Manny bc u know he has to much going on to really look into things and b/c of his loyalty...

Have you even been following the news or have you been on vacation to the moon for the last 3 weeks? Pacquiao has agreed to all of floyds terms and he's waiting on a signed contract to be sent to him. There is no contract because mayweather who is the A side refuses to sign one and sent it to pacquiao because he knows that will ensure a loss on his carefully orchestrated boxing record. You sir are not a Manny pacquiao fan and its obvious by you saying " my brother is a mayweather fan and also uses this account" you pretend to be a Manny fan so you can trash pacquiao even though you've been rooting for mayweather in all your previous posts. Wow desperate times for mayweather fans. You may be one of the lone holdouts who still support mayweathers cowardly actions

Look on the bright side, you will be part of an exclusive club of around 5 people total that will be purchasing mayweather cotto 2 during the floydcott!

Why doesn't Pacquiao leave Top Rank or cut all ties with Bob Arum ? I don't know what's going behind the scenes but I'm fed up with hearing the same **** from both camps.

Doug Fischer at ring tv . com answers all questions about Pacquiao-Mayweather with a hashtag #TheNeverendingStory . Why don't we all do the same? Public's obsession with this fight borders with psychosis. All the articles like "Boxer X says the fight will happen" and "Promoter Y says Mayweather won't fight Pacquiao". Enough is enough...

#TheNeverendingStory

Hahahaha now the Floyd Fruits finally see they've been worshipping a gutless yella Turd.

[KnockoutKings]

So is Arum a problem in the Cotto rematch? You know, since he co-promotes him...

[Pago007]

ARUM doesnt co-promote cotto he just bashed about missing.the canelo deadline - if cotto decides too use top rank he can - pac u looking real suspect right now

Why should Pacquiao leave TR just because Floyd says so? Who do you think Pacquiao is? One of the P2P greatest of all time or Floyd Maywether's b****?

It will. It will. But boxing fans, especially Pacquiao fans, can't continue to delude themselves. Not those who really just hate Mayweather or whatever their hidden motivations are. The true Pacquiao fans who support and cheer for him regardless of who he's facing. Why would you make the same mistake twice?

The last time the fight was this close to happening, Pacquiao made a terrible decision by bouncing from the table, leaving a fair offer on it. His competition level waned and while he remains a household name, his drawing power has dipped considerably. Even worse, he's lost a controversial decision, won a controversial one, and suffered the most shocking and worst KO in a long time. A fight his promoter chose while spellbinding his fans with stadium and cuts chatter.

But guess what? Redemption is nigh. He's in a similar situation. Except his options are even worse. Provodnikov? Garcia? Vargas? We're talking serious flops on the horizon. Yet his fans continue to delude themselves. "Moonves is gonna fire them all! What, he said he won't? Well then he's lying." Or "Mayweather is cornered now!" You don't believe that, do you? Cotto or Khan? He'll be fine, while Pacquiao risks his legacy against the likes of Jessie Vargas in front of a disinterested Macau crowd. I'm hoping fans don't make the same mistake twice. More important, I hope Pacquiao doesn't allow his ruthless promoter to make that decision for him.
