Comments Thread For: Arum: No Hard Deadline on Mayweather-Pacquiao Talks

[HeGotPacProblem]

Manny said it too and it's in the articles and don't act like you forgot about the infamous instragram photo of Manny telling Mayweather to sign a non existent contract.


Here's some more comedy for you

http://www.*************.com/columns...anny-pacquiao/

That link is dead...what website is it?

Read my above post to IMDAZED. You another one hung up on semantics too. The framework was signed off on. there can be NO contract until both principals sign off on it....thats common sense.

I know. The site is blocking the links. But you can google it yourself if you choose to.

I already googled....there is nowhere where Manny himself says he's afraid of needles. Arum mentioned it a few years ago but that's it.

Actually you're right that it's technically not a direct quote from Pacquiao but Roach and Arum are repeating what they say Pacquiao told them. Since Pacquiao never denied or refuted it, he said it.


Either way it makes him look bad and it was obviously a lie.

Floyd has been at least consistent with whenever they mention Pacquiao he goes on vacation or switches the subject

This the video of the dying kid from Make a wish foundation his wish was to have Floyd fight Pacquiao, the sick teen had more confidence in Floyd than Floyd had in himself.

Floyd shoots down the teens wish in this video cold blooded...

not really....not the same at all. I gave you direct Floyd quotes. Ariza also said that Manny isn't afraid of needles so there you have it...he is and he isnt. Your point is moot anyway as drug testing hasnt been an issue for 1-2 years now. He's not afraid of needles...he's opposed of having blood drawn too close to a fight.

So you're OK with Manny admitting that he passed on a Mayweather fight in 2010 because he thinks potentially having blood drawn close to a fight makes him weak?

Floyd is on Vacation dude

Yall getting too hung up on words now. There is no contract but there haven been weeks and weeks of negotiations , drafts, memos- the framework for a contract. The parts that make up a contract. Technically there can be no contract until both principals sign it. The key points are what's been agreed to.

Yeah so if there is no contract then you can't be screaming for one side to sign what doesn't exist. That's not semantics, that's lying.

The fact of the matter is that it was a lie that prevented the first fight from happening. Pacquiao is every bit at fault for that whether it's true or not. That's far worse than " Pacquiao you're next." The instragram photo telling Mayweather to sign a non existent contract was a lie.

At this point I don't even care about it. That's ancient history. I'm more concerned with what is happening right now.

What does that have to do with what I just said? And where is Manny right now?
