[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

At the very least, Manny Pacquiao is keeping busy while awaiting word on whether or not a long-exhausted awaited showdown with Floyd Mayweather materializes. The Filipino superstar has traveled the globe in the past few days, with his whirlwind tour making a stop in sunny Miami, Florida, where he served as a guest judge for the 63rd Miss Universe pageant.

chickenfloyd should step-up...the ridicule he gets anywhere is too much...he should be man enough to fight pacquiao or retire...the term coward, chicken,yellow or words of that sort is now attached to his resume...

Meanwhile Floyd is going to Australia. A lot of publicity. Looks like it is going to happen. Yes.

If not, oh well.

can a real reporter hurry up and askin him about franklin gacal jr...is he still in the manny camp or no? did he advise manny to leave arum b/c he would hinder making the floyd fight or no?

i need answers..i want my finger point to be right this go around

i blamed floyd at first and then understood that i should be blame pac b/c even his camp said too

i blamed floyd for the 40 million low ball offer, but i blame pac for not negotiation and taking way less money to fight tim bradley will floyd made a near 40 million purse...and also koncz first said,"floyd said we would talk about ppv after we agree to 40 million." he had to drop it to "he offered no ppv at all" when manny and arum, who did no negotiating, both came out contradicting his first statement while saying "no ppvs at all"..had make the team look in unison, but it didnt get past me...sports illustrated was the first to break the story with koncz speakin and praising floyd about how easy he was to talk to about the fight..

now i want to get it right on the head this time...THATS IF THE FIGHT DOESNT HAPPEN

First of all, it is well known that Gacal hasn't been Manny Pacquiaos lawyer in years. He was last seen next to Pacquiao after the Brandon Rios fight, and Bob Arum confirmed that he hasn't been Paquiaos lawyer in years. That is why that Fight Hype article was so bogus.

Second of all, go watch Floyd Duckweathers interview with Bob Costas on YouTube. He told Bob Costas that he called Manny and offered him that lowball 40 million offer, and admitted Manny made a counter offer of 50/50. He also admitted Michael Kontz who is Pacquiaos advisor actually flew out to Las Vegas to meet with Mayweather to try to get a fight made, which Mayweather then admitted he was not willing to budge off his offer nor split any ppv revenue with Pacquiao. Obviously 40 million was a lowball offer because that was before he lost and pacquiao would make over double that right now even after the losses. Second of all, Pacquios counter offer of 50/50 was actually a realistic offer back then because he was number 1 p4p. Mayweather declined that offer and was unwilling to negotiate. Pacquiao was the one trying to make that fight by sending his advisor to Vegas which Mayweather was the one who said that to Bob Costas. He is a joke and has people like you fooled. Pacquiao has wanted this fight the whole time and has proved it. Right after his fight with Clottey he said he would take random blood and urine so that excuse was invalid 5 years ago. He claims he will work with Arum so for 5 years Mayweather was using a bogus excuse and people like you give him a pass. He is the one who is dropping hints about wanting to fight Cotto, by thanking ariza for setting the record straight when ariza said mayweather is fighting cotto. His silence speaks a million words about how bad he really wants this fight. Go watch on YouTube type in Mayweathers excuses, there is hours of footage of mayweather giving every reason under the sun over the last 6 years. Everything from I am a rich coward to Manny Pacquiao has a boss and I don't. Its pathetic and you guys want to point the finger at Arum who always puts his fighters in with the best? #sign the contract.

Chicken as always

Arum and Manny have said they already accepted 'ALL"... I mean "ALL"... All, all, all of Floyd's demands. How hard is it to understand this? HBO and Showtime may be having their own differences at the moment, but I believed there is nothing that cannot be resolved between these two giant networks. But at the end of the day, no matter how bad anyone wanted this fight to happen, if the man who call himself 'his own boss' doesn't approve, then nothing will materialize.

Over a year ago, Showtime vice president for sports Stephen Espinoza said that the fight is doable, " We would do that, as long as we're not chasing our tail" Is this what's happening now? Chasing their own tail just because Floyd is reluctant and being a chicken as always?

.....and will end with Pacquaio fighting another no hoper moving up or a perceived gimme fight....4 fights left @ the venetian and 2 years left with Top rank

Rios, Algieri, and cherry pick gone wrong 40 year old JMM....Look for provodnikov and Jessie vargas next.....Mark my words he will fight for the vacant 140 WBO title

i've saw u on here telling the story the way it suits you best time and time again...i dont believe a word you say, and i actually know tons more on this situation that u could ever tell me..first of all it is not well known that gacal is not with manny..u wont find a link anywhere to support that..yes it came out of bobs mouth..but so does cigar smoke..
the costas interview floyd never said he wasnt sharing ppv..he simply said that in his fights he keeps all of the ppv...and he was talkin facts..manny doesnt keep all his ppv..floyd believes in fighters getting all the money so why would he give manny 50% ppv if bob is going to take 25%...shti he was actually giving manny a heads up..but like i told u koncz said floyd was willing to talk ppv if they would have took the 60/40 purse split that gave manny 40 million

manny was p4p simply bc floyd left the sport we all know that..floyd was the money man and manny was second..floyd did over 2.5 with oscar..manny did 1.25 nothings about that say 50/50...it took manny 3 fights with marquez to do what floyd did in one money wise...floyd outsold him in all ppv of head to head opponents...there is nothing 50/50 about that..i ***s with manny, but i speak the truth..i root in the ring and keep it facts outside the ring..manny will kill floyd imo...but he should have played ball long ago instead of all this media crap ...B side cant be making offers..not to an ego like floyd
