Mayweather vs. Pac was called a cash grab and boring

[soul_survivor]

if pacquiao fights prime crawford it will be about as serious a challenge as anything floyd took during his career. only fights that would really compare are a faded pacquiao, prime corrales.





this whole mayweather pacquiao thing makes a lot more sense when you recognize that one of the two fighters came all the way from flyweight, and that they all box for money. how can pacquiao be cherrypicking a naturally bigger guy who would probbly still be p4p if he hadn't retired? who is less faded than he is?


they pushed off the fight for money
they fought each other when they were past their primes for money.



they both were guilty of pushing off the fight, but when you consider that one guy is markedly smaller than the other, and that he was knocked completely unconscious by a former featherweight in '12 and was much more faded, you naturally start to place more blame on floyd for "cherrypicking." i don't think there's anything wrong with that. both are guilty. floyd's going to look more guilty because he's bigger, and because his career had taken much less out of him at that stage.



cue up some flowmoes trying to convince me that floyd was not only just as faded as pacquiao, but that they were the same size

I understand a lot of what you're saying here and it is quite true, objectively speaking but you're missing a massive issue. Floyd was the only one who said he was afraid of facing Pacquiao. Pacman never said that about Floyd or any other opponent. That instantly opens up questions about whether or not Floyd ever wanted the fight prime v prime.

Some other criticisms were

1. Floyd waited until Pacquiao slowed down to fight him
   
2. Both fighters were out of their prime
   
3. The fight should've happened 5 years ago but Floyd delayed it
   
4. This fight is going to kill boxing
   
5. GGG's PPV numbers were a result of the MayPac PPV and fans weren't ready to buy another PPV.
   
6. Floyd cherry picked his competition and took less risks for higher rewards
   
7. Floyd and Manny should retire
   
8. This fight was horrible for boxing and will turn fans away

And many more criticisms aimed directly at Floyd. So Floyd is retired and Manny is still fighting. He's angling for a Mayweather rematch. He's avoiding the tougher fights at 147 and Crawford at 140 to set up a rematch with Floyd. Choosing Broner was a way to entice Floyd. It worked for Maidana. We all know beating Broner is like beating Floyd

So why isn't anybody complaining about Pacquiao trying to fleece the fans with a rematch with Floyd? Why aren't his actions called cherry picking? Pacquiao is doing exactly what Kellerman just accused Mayweather of doing on his First Take show. They supposedly robbed the fans of $100 dollars and Pac is trying to do it again.

you think floyd cares what you say?'
he still whooped pac and got close to 300 million for doing so.

i doubt he cares what losers on boxingscene say lol.

by the way pac cherry picks also.

I hate both of them and can't wait until the sport finally moves on from both, when they are finally done with fake "retirements" and Father Time makes the decision for them.

When did he say he was afraid of fighting Pacquiao?


Why would he sign a contract with a 50/50 split if he was afraid of facing Pacquaio?


You pacroaches run so many damn lies.

It's like you just throw that last part in there just to discourage people from saying it.


But here it is again:

Pacquiao: 152

Mayweather: 149


You know this already. Don't know why you are pretending it doesn't exist.

[Lords]

It was a cash grab and boring because Pac isn't on Floyd's level, facts.

First off, I dunno why you're replying to a post not aimed at you.

second, I've posted the video in Mayweather goes on arent about how Pacquiao might hurt him so bad he'll end up using a walking stick twice in the last week, I'm not gonna do it a 3rd time. Look for it yourself.

I'm talking boxing. I didn't know someone had to talk to me specifically for me to respond.

Do you mean this video?



Hmm. Interesting that he says, "Y'all know for a fact I ain't scared" right at the end.

Once again, it doesn't make sense for him to sign a contract for a 50/50 split, as was reported, if he was scared. Right? Roach even admit that the first negotiation failed because of Pac's side. So how was he scared? You tell me.

Just before that he said he was a rich coward and went on a tirade about how Pacquiao would hurt him like he hurt Cotto. That last sentence is what is known as an oxymoron. I assume your english isn't up to the standard to understand that.
