Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao Money Trail Leaves Mixed Bag Of Emotions 5 Years Later

[hugh grant]

Floyd and Pac were in the same weight class so why didn't Pac fight GGG, Canelo and Martinez?

Again, you're complaining that Floyd didn't prove himself because he beat Canelo at a CW. So to keep consistent and to not be a hypocite, why didn't Pac rematch Margarito, Cotto, De La Hoya at the correct weights and not CW's?

You really do have a policy of say anything when you've got no answers.

Again, ggg, sergio, Nell didn't want to fight no 5 ft 5.5 inch former flyweight.
with 7o fights under belt. They knew pac wouldn't disgrace himself against them but it's not a good look. It's only Floyd and his fans with delusions of grandeur who thought pac was meal ticket to greatness. Even horn and bradley a knows a win over pac isn't a meal ticket to anything. Pac s still got better wins and resume than you so why boast of win over him?
Floyd is the one who said they're easy!. Please respond to this fact im bringing up! Stop pretending you want to discuss with me.
Lol, you really think margarita, dlh, cotton wanted more of pac! They were ready for scrapyard after beating pac gave all 3 of them lol Stop being emotional.
Nel o wasn't ready for scrap yard. He learnt from floyd and was ready to fight floyd. Desperate for floyd just like Sergio and ggg was

Lots of Floyd stans running around this thread salty and defensive I see...says a lot.

The article states that Pacquiao killed the fight in 2009 because he wouldn't do drug testing.

But then states that Mayweather was good at waiting for the right time to make fights.

You can't blame Floyd for waiting for the right time. He was ready in 2009 but it was Pacquiao who fucked it up.

yea I picked up on that... that was shoddy/inaccurate journalism, just like we endured back in 2010

blaming one man, for a decision that was made by another man... is beyond ret4rded

This fight was gonna be the same in 2009, 2010, 2011, as it was in 2015. Fans and media want to act like if this fight happened in 2009, that there was going to be rainbows and unicorns in the arena, and that Pacquiao was gonna throw 1,500 punches and Mayweather was gonna get outworked.

In reality, counterpunchers like JMM and Mayweather always drop Pacquiao’s work rate considerably and Mayweather vs Pacquiao was always going to be a somewhat competitive fight with Mayweather edging Pacquiao in any year they fought.

The way the fight turned out in 2015 was my exact, and a lot fans exact predictions. It was going to be a rather boring 12 round fight that was never going to stylistically live up to the hype. No Pacquiao was never going to KO Mayweather, and no Mayweather was never going to beat Pacquiao 120-108. Mayweather was always going to beat Pacquiao at least 8 rounds to 4, with Pac’s best probably being winning 5 rounds out of 12. At his very best.

So writers and some fans can imagine the magical time of 2009-2010 when this fight was supposedly gonna be a barn burner or something, but is is all imaginary in the end.

good post !

I didn’t read the article, i’m about to, but based on your post I already know who wrote it. If i’m wrong, I will admit it. But i’m 95% sure I know who wrote it. He is sneakier with his Floyd hate now, but he used to a lot worse. Your post describes the writer I have in mind

Edit: I was wrong, it’s not who I thought. Shocker

I didn't check, but that is shoddy journalism

I thought the mods would ban your troll self already.

What a boring article.

[ShoulderRoll]

Pac did eventually fight old Sam just to show he could beat him as good as Floyd without being nearly knocked out by 39 year old and to show how past prime Sam was.
Pac s not claiming its a great win like Floyd fans try do

Pacquiao ducked Shane Mosley when he was still good. Freddie Roach has admitted it.

But they had no problem fighting Mosley after Floyd beat him first.

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Injured one-armed flyweight Pacman out of his prime years and got KO'd but ...

Still managed to make a bigger man run from him. Magnificent.

[GrandpaBernard]

Watched the fight again

manny only took rounds 4 and 6

MAYBE round 10 if you like his come forward aggression more than Floyd’s clean punches

Goodness gracious me you are so ******, it defies belief.

You keep going on about Pac being a flyweight, what does that have to do with anything? At the time GGG and Martinez were around the lower weight classes, Floyd and Pac were in the same weight class, too. If you are so hot on Floyd not fighting them, again I ask, why didn't Pac fight them? It really is a simple question.

Floyd schooled Canelo for 12 easy rounds and I didn't hear Canelo desperately requesting a rematch.

If you are going to keep insisting that Floyd should have rematched Canelo at a higher weight, equally, Pac should've rematched Clottey, Margarito, Cotto and De La Hoya at their natural weights. Can you not see the simple logic in that or are you too simple yourself?

Pac s still got better wins and resume than you so why boast of win over him?

Me?
