Comments Thread For: Merchant: Pacquiao Let Everyone Down With Mayweather

[Lester Tutor]

Merchant shouldn't blame Manny Pacquiao, he should blame Team Pacquiao! It was Team Pacquiao who said Manny was "scared of neeedles." It was Team Pacquiao who said "we need an outdoor stadium." It was Team Pacquiao who ignored the so-called injury, and than "failed to reveal it on the pre-fight paperwork." Why? Because Team Pacquiao painted Floyd as a coward, that he wouldn't sign the contracts, then later admit that there were no contracts. This is what Team Pacquiao was talking about days before the fight:

April 30, 2015:

Over breakfast at his Las Vegas hotel, Pacquiao’s trainer Roach repeatedly told USA TODAY Sports that he fears Mayweather will find an excuse to withdraw from the contest, despite the huge amounts of money spent on tickets, pay per views and the overall production.

When asked for his thoughts on the matchup, Roach interjected swiftly. “If (Mayweather) shows up,” he said. “I am still worried about that. I won’t believe it until I see him in front of us in the ring.”

USA TODAY Sports repeatedly quizzed Roach as to whether he was joking, or merely trying to fan the flames of controversy in the build-up to the clash. Each time he was adamant that he held genuine concerns that Mayweather could cook up an excuse to miss the fight, such as a training injury or an illness...

Roach also claimed to have “spies” in the Mayweather camp that had told him the 38-year-old had missed three days of training last week. No such news has filtered out of the Mayweather inner circle, where information about their fighter’s training regimen and movements are closely guarded.

“I am not (making this up),” Roach added. “I know from people who were there. Word gets out and Vegas is a small place.”

After saying dumb **** like that, how could Manny pull out the event? The fake contracts were exposed, then Floyd did show up, and Koncz ****ed up the paperwork. Manny throws up both his hands in victory, and then less than one hour later, Team Pacquiao reveals an injury! This was a PR disaster!

This is great. Do you know of any links with any such dialogue as good the paragraphs? I am creating a documentary. thank you.

The link I provided is where Roach made the comment, and then other publications simply quoted from the initial source. Simply Google "Roach says Mayweather won't show up."

Pacquiao let "everyone down" the same way Jim Jeffries let everyone down when he faced Jack Johnson. The same way Liston let Every one down when he faced Cassius Clay. The same way Jerry Cooney let everyone down when he faced Holmes. The same way Donnie Lalonde let everyone down when he faced Sugar Ray Leonard.

They failed to beat the dominant, arrogant (black) American.

By Ronnie Nathanielsz

Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao’s longtime adviser Michael Koncz, has admitted that no contract has been prepared as yet for the planned May 2 multi-million dollar showdown between Pacquiao and undefeated pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Koncz said “its still a waiting game and there are no developments, nothing.”

Asked whether there was a contract prepared for the fighters to sign, Koncz replied “No” - which gives credence to Mayweather’s reprimand to both Koncz and Pacquiao to “stop lying” about a contract when they faced off at the Miami Heat-Milwaukee Bucks game at halftime in Miami on Tuesday.

Exactly, merchant is an old racist pos and this is exactly what he really means when he says "pacquiao let everyone down"......the sooner we don't hear from that idiot again the better. He is a certified hater of a certain 'type of fighter' because they whoop all of his favorite fighters.

Appreciate the kind words. Most of my doc consists of endless contradicting dialogue by the Top Rank Empire. This is why audio and video is more ideal. =)

Just remember, THEY ban you on this site for talking or discussing the bs the #48 says or does. lol THE REASON: No reason HOW LONG: forever Why do you think they have a separate forum for Pinoy's? Well here comes my ban for stating this...

[BrometheusBob.]

it's an analogy had Pac won with the infamous fight with a torn rotator cuff and Toradol.... lol

Easy work. IQs around here....

The poster embedded a video where he raises his arms at the end in a previous fight and claims that a fighter couldn't do what he did in that video with a shoulder injury. There is no analogy being made. He simply posted something from a different fight because he saw Pacquiao raising his arms and he saw Mayweather in the video.
