Comments Thread For: Hopkins Explains Mayweather-Pacquiao Doubts For 5/2

[MDPopescu]

Hopkins keeps talking about money. If the money was important enough to Floyd the fight would have been done along time ago. It's like Floyd himself said "you can keep the money, I'll take my health".

Yes. If it was about money, they would have had signed by now -- with a rematch clause or even a trilogy included... Nicely staged...

Well that's been the conundrum since day 1.

Floyd 'Money' Mayweather doesn't want a fight for $100m that would be easy work, he wants young hungry lions for a fraction of that.

The idea that they need to fight down the line and make it even bigger is over. That is no longer feasible. If they walk away, the fans walk away, and the casuals walk away. If it doesn't happen next, it is done. And so are Mayweather and Pacquaio, they are finished.

They have no option but to make the fight next because if they don't, the fall-out is going to be huge.

Hopkins hinting at a possible matchup sometime in 2016??? Haven't we all been waiting 5-6 years for this fight? They're not even at their peak anymore and they're gonna wait for a later date. What a bunch of shi.t, if they don't make the fight in the next week we can all just fkn forget it.

I love boxing. Ive spent money supporting both fighters and its a shame the fight hasnt happened yet. I say fack both fighters, HBO, Showtime, arum and haymon. Im done. I will not shell out another penny...ii actually hope their ppv flops, if indeed they do fight.

I have already talked 6 other people (boxing fanatics) in the last 24 hours out of ordering this fight, because of all the b.s. they are putting us fans through. That is only the start I will try to convince as many people as possible to not buy this fight.

I honestly felt that these negotiations would be different. Something in my gut just told me it was finally time. I don't care who's fault it is, I'm just done with both fighters. And Hopkins is right about wondering who Floyd will fight next. May 2nd is like 2 months and 3 weeks away. If Floyd is fighting on May 2nd he better be announcing something soon here no matter who it is.

Bernard Hopkins blames Mayweather. What else is new... Did he really need to use that many words to say it? And with all of those words he used he still really didn't explain his position at all.

Is he going to run his contract out with Showtime and then do the fight (50-0) with HBO and Pac?

It's Arum that's teasing the curiosity of the public to sell a few more PAC puff fights. Arum would never let PAC fight Floyd until he's ready to throw in the towel and cash out on Pacquioa. Mayweather is too big of a risk to PAC losing.

U Really think, The FRAUDSTER, will Stop PUNKING OUT...Ha ha ha!

[Rolaz]

Hopefully, both Champs can work out that Contract allowing them to settle the issue INSIDE the ring.

Another may-pac thread? Someone ban this fool already

[CJRock]

I don't know why anyone is surprised at Floyd ducking Paquaio AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
Floyd explained why he wont ever fight Manny with this one sentence

" My health is more important that $$$$$$$$$$$$" That says it all Floyd is SCARED he will get hurt if he fights Manny Because he knows in his heart Manny Paquaio is the better man & the bona fide #1 ATG

[SterlingStained]

just as i suspected.

this is what ive been trying to tell people. floyd and showtime are not gonna risk their future earning potential by allowing floyd to fight pac before his showtime contract is up.

floyd will fight pac when its the last fight on his showtime contract.

pac and arum are more than happy to oblige and wait for floyd by feeding pac the rioses, algieris, and vargas of the world.

both pac and floyd are using the possibility of them fight each other as a come on for fight fans to buy their fights. floyd is more guilty since he is trying to protect future monies with his undefeated record.

pac has already lost. he doesnt need the undefeated schtick to sell fights the way floyd does in order to compensate for his lack of captivating actual fights.

Instead of pac making upwards of 40 million he rather fight top rank fighters and make.around 12
