Mayweather may have to give into Pacquiao about the blood testing
March 14th, 2010
By Chris Williams: In reading some of the comments made by Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, it seems like it might be a better idea for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to look in another direction for a fight rather than pursuing a fight with Manny Pacquiao. At Yahoo Sports, Arum said when speaking about negotiating with Mayweather, “You don’t negotiate. Neville Chamberlain negotiated with Hitler in Munich, and look what happened. Let the commission set whatever kind of drug testing. It has to be amplified, then that’s up to them. The only way a fight can be is if Mayweather want to fight and signs a contract like [everyone] else signs a contract.”
That might leave Mayweather feeling less than pleased, especially if he had given in about the blood testing that he wanted. Mayweather might want to forget about the whole thing and look in another direction. If he’s able to make $10 million per fight against good fighters, he doesn’t need to have to cave in and not accept what he wants in a deal with Pacquiao.
It would, of course, take longer for Mayweather to make the back the kind of money that he would make in a fight with Pacquiao, but he has time on his side. Mayweather isn’t planning on retiring and going into politics like Pacquiao at some point in the near future. Mayweather can make big money fighting guys like Edwin Valero, Andre Berto, Saul Alvarez and Paul Williams. He doesn’t have to give in if he doesn’t want to and take less than he wants in a fight with Pacquiao.

Everyone says FM wanted olympic style testing to avoid fighting MP. If that’s the case, why did he agree to the Harder Fight(with the guy MP avoided, even after he agreed to all of their demands) Shane Mosely…Who I might add, is the welter-weight champion, and not some scared opponent who fights under the same promoter? I no that statement/question will be avoided…but I like that…LOL. Even Shane Mosley said he was very impressed that MAYWEATHER stepped up to the plate, whe TEAM PAC didn’t….Mike
You Know I’m Right, YOU will doubt Manny here in America. There are AMERICAN journalists, AMERICAN boxing analysts and AMERICAN fans here in AMERICA who have no doubt Pacquiao is the P4P King. They are, afterall, the ones who gave him that title. Manny never claimed that on his own. Open your eyes.
floyd failed to to smear the name of his rival, hes seen now as nothing but a green eyed monster
HE’S A FAILURE!!!
nobody’s buying his ped talks anymore. it was so yesterday.
No matter what, the damage is already done. Th burden is on Pacquiao to prove to the world whether he is clean or not. That cloud of suspician will forever loom over his head until he does something about it. Should Pacquiao NEVER do anything about it…an asterisk will be next to his name forever more.
So Pacquiao, don’t take the test…They will continue to love you in the Philipines.
We will ALWAYS doubt you here in AMERICA!
@motownhitman
The ordinary fighter?
- Boxer of the year award,
- Boxer of the decade award,
- P4p king for how many years now?
Dude, are you with us?
@motownhitman
correction : the extra-ordinary fighter who’s just doing his JAB!’
@motownhitman:
Toxic…Riddle me this. How did Manny become P4P King? By beating Floyd’s leftovers after he retired.
========
Ha ha ha. Your man couldn’t even beat him like Pacquiao did. If you are going to boast about your man, be sure you can back it up strong. Your Floyd beat those guys like a sissy, unlike Pac who beat these guys with devastation. Pac beat these guys to retirement!
Here’s the top ten reasons why Floyd asks for Olympic Style Testing (Part 2)
10. He knows Pacquiao hates being taken blood from.
9. It was stipulated in the contract but then he stretched it to his favor
8. He is a master-manipulator
7. He wants to emulate Martin Luther King Jr and clean up the boxing world (clap, clap, clap. yeah, right!)
6. He is a megalomaniac who believes he is still a P4P King and so he demands this unprecedented OST.
5. He is jealous of Pacquiao’s achievements so he resorts to character-assassination.
4. Since he knows he cannot beat Pacquiao inside the ring, he beats him by slandering him, (and his screwball fans
believe him
3. His looney father told him that “No way he could beat Pacquiao, so let’s put up a deal-breaker”
2. OST is the best – and blood and only blood will detect an illegal substance. He doesn’t believe in other methods.
(Short like saying ‘Fire the people of NSAC)
1. He is just plain coward!
floyd would turn into a turtle from being a chicken the time he face pac.
he’s going to turn those wings into shell to take cover from a rain of fire
and turn those shell into wings again to run around the ring like a chicken to be slaughtered
whose got nothing?!?
no boxer of the year award,
no boxer of the decade award,
no p4p king,
no title belt,
not in the 100 most influential people,
not in the top 10 highest-paid athletes,
no new sneakers from nike,
no nothing but dissing from the the ruggedman,
no nothing but talk talk and more talk that the average dumb joe out there would easily buy,
no nothing but explanation every end of fight on why it sucks!
no nothing for the GREATEST BOXER who ever walk on this planet??!?
‘…and the award goes to……
the ordinary fighter whos just doing his job!’
OUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST SWALLOW THE INEVITABLE!
Well, Toxic, a nice job of presenting your argument, and technically trying to pick apart the other one presented.
However, there are some rather stright forward matters that it would be interesting to hear how you will respond to ? First of all, please allow me to advise yo of the fact that I have been involved in boxing for some thirty years, having boxed and also trained. What I say next is very much rooted in what I see, what I have experienced and what I tend to feel is right via gut-instinct :
1) Manny has moved up many weight divisions and in each new weight division he has taken on bigger foes. When doing so, not only has he beaten these guys that are generally well established at the new weight Pacman has moved into, but he has decimated them and has not even remotely been bothered or hurt by punches from these bigger more powerful men ?
Note : Now I can tell you that carrying yoyr speed up is always a plus, but when you get wobbled at the original weight you fought at and then not remotely troubled by harder hitting guys in new heavy weight divisions, this IS ‘abonormal’. … No arguments, but rather a statement of utter fact ! Pacman has not only become more bullet proof with each new weight division, but has gotten faster and even stronger time and again … this also runs counter to what is generally naturally obtainable by moving into succesive weight divisions !
** So, overall, I would have to tell you that Manny and his corner are without doubt under heavy suspicion and rightly so. As for me, I do believe that Manny has been using some form of advanced steroid … and for some time in his recent journey up the weights. I predicted the same about Roy Jones Jnr and Oliver McCall and was right on both occasions …
I think Floyd is totally right to insist on blood testing and I would only add that it should be done right up until one day before the fight and and again immediately after !
Toxic…Riddle me this. How did Manny become P4P King? By beating Floyd’s leftovers after he retired.
When Pac fought Cotto who had the belt? Last time I checked it was Cotto, yet Pac asked for the catchweight and made more demands as the challenger.
Honestly who has the greater SKILL SET? Floyd or Manny? Who has been in the highest grossing fight of all time? Against common opponents who has generated the higher PPV numbers?
Zorro
Here’s the top ten reasons why Floyd asks for Olympic Style Testing.
10. He has stakes with the co. that does this. (imagine all boxers will have to undergo the OST) – Foolish comment
9. He is a scientist who knows a lot about PEDS. – He may not but Conte knows a thing or two about PED’s and has stated that boxing’s drug testing is out dated.
8. He and his clan are a drug user. – His dad using drugs has nothing to do with him, in fact he doesn’t drink nor smoke
7. He wants his unimpressive 0-loss intact – 2 of the people that Floyd had already beaten are who helped Pac’s claim to fame.
6. He thinks OST is the only method that can detect the mysterious A-Side Meth that purportedly make a person bullet-proof – Ridiculous comment
5. He listens to his misguided fans – misguided fans? hmm ok and Pac’s fans aren’t like sheep??
4. He thinks Pacquiao possesses super-human body – Actually he would be subjected to the same test…so what’s the problem? Sounds to me that Pac is saying having blood drawn is his kryptonite.
3. He couldn’t believe how delaHoya, Hatton, Cotto and Clottey were demolished by Pacquiao which he couldn’t do. – Actually he had already beaten DLH and Hatton before Pac got to them and the Clottey fight happened AFTER the negotiations with their fight fell thru.
2. He thinks he is bigger than the boxing world – Before he RETIRED he was the P4P King…so Pac only obtained the status by DEFAULt
1. He is a coward of the utmost degree. – Coward? Ii guess you win several championships by being a coward huh?
@Nopacman
i’ll indulge your stupidity and actually lower my bar in responding to your idiotic ” top ten reasons” but this time i’d actually use some boxing pedigree.
10. every fighter in the history of boxing has and or have some personal belief/superstitions/luck in gear/way of preparation/mental preparedness before the fight. ( every one is entitled to this you stupid child )
9. Paq has never ever personally said that he was afraid of needles, ( prove me wrong retard and show me an actual insert of paq saying ” im afraid of needles ” before then get the F#@ out of this boxing website.
8. Paq is the OFFICIAL/LINEAL/POUND FOR POUND KING in the sport of boxing or do you fail to FULLY and i mean FULLY understand this, a person with this type of title does not agree on un realistic/ insulting demands. ( again understand the un realistic/ insulting parts in the entire fiasco that is the drug testing)
7. Do we have any proof from all those corner men who trained with paquiao, all the different comissions paq was involved with about drugs in he’s system. ( stop the stupidity that only olympic style drug testing can detect this and that) the commissions have highly qualified/sanctioned doctors.
6. Do we really see a physical difference in paq in relation to peds/hgh/steroids use.
5. are we fast becoming so jaded to our favorite fighter that we FAIL TO SEE FACTS. ( I LOVE BOTH FLOYD AND PAQS WAY OF BOXING) IM INTO REALITY FOR REALITY’S SAKE.
6. IT IS NOT THE RULES YOU DIP. or again u fail to understand the boxing commisions actual rules in fighting and drug testing.
5. the break down of the blood testing demands was because of difference in date and the randomized dates of blood taken out. ( you fail again in fully understanding this)
4. as much as i like and respect floyd mayweather but he cannot get top billing nor get more money from a potential paq fight why? DOES FLOYD MAYWEATHER HAVE ANY BELTS AT THIS MOMENT? DOES HE? NADA KAPUT, ZERO NONE, the only thing he has going on for him is the undefeated status he has. let’s wait for the mosley fight and see if he can take away mosley’s actual ww belt,
3. we all say that manny should have just taken the 25 million and subjected himself with floyd’s demands, the hell is this it ” we all say that he should just say yes?) ridiculous what ever happend to pride and respect of oneself regardless of whatever money is dangled in front of you. we don’t have personal respect anymore because of money? bulls. i support paq walking away from that amount of money.
2. yes manny does not need floyd, in reality there are the following names that could be a potential fight of the year contender in valero vs paq,margarito vs paq,mosely vs paq, williams vs paq all this boxers are pure sluggers to the highest degree, what about floyd?? are we sure that a bout with floyd and manny end up being a slugfest?? No im pretty sure that it would end up being a boring fight as the way floyd fight pretty much sums up to back up, counter punch, roll shoulders and move away. so no we are no longer vying to see this fight there are better fights out there.
1. Manny Paquiao is the current champion, p4p holder he is the one to be challenged not the other way around. we all need to understand this. until he is defeated any boxer must submit themselves to the current boxing commission rules in the sport they’r in.
@tBONE
U sound like your having menstrual pains…tsk tsk

Wilson, if Mayweather defeats Mosley, how the hell does Pac deserve the bigger pay? haha are you kidding? Second, there was no signed catch weight for marquez-mayweather up til weigh in night. then they made a deal on it. and mayweather payed for it. 10 million dollars is a little excessive. its just down right bull. but did you hear mayweather going to the papers and complaining about it? no, pac is a woman. and if they fight in september, hes gonna get put into place…
@dayyammmm and all Floyd believers
That’s what I don’t understand about you Floyd nuthuggers. You’re so sure about Floyd whooping Pac’s ass. But you know what? YOUR MAN IS SCARED. HE WOULDN’T GET INTO THE RING WITH THE FREAK OF NATURE!! It doesn’t take a genius like me to figure this out. What’s with this stupid demand of his about Olympic style test? Isn’t this a clear sign that he is scared? Who wouldn’t be? He saw what happened to delaHoya, Hatton and Cotto with Pacquiao. Floyd will get the beating of his life! He knows it! But you Floyd nut-huggers are still in denial!
Signs of steroid use:
Acne flare up
Fluid retention
mood swings, depression
aggressive behaviour
Premature balding
t3xA$ M@D3 <<<== MORON
Pacquiao deserves a bigger pay with Mayweather. Pacquiao is the champion and Mayweather is a challenger. Pacquiao is also the current #1 P4P king. $10 million penalty for the overweight limit is justified because Mayweather cheated his last fight with Marquez. He never have an intention to make the weight. He called Marquez early that day that he could not make the weight.
I read in another website that Manny’s mom is telling him to retire. Manny will be talking with her when he arrives back in his mansion.
Let’s just see. If Manny wins the elections, maybe this fight will never be made. With or without the drug tests!
Here are the top ten reasons manny refuses random blood testing :
1) drawing blood makes me weak
floyd would get a phycological advantage..
2) i dont wanna be bullied
3) im scared of needles
4) im superstitious
5) its not in the rules..(i guess 10 million per pound is)
6) i dont need floyd i can make millions fighting paid statues
7) i dont have time to give blood cause im running for office and shooting a commercial tommorow..
9) because floyd agreed to all other ridiculos demands, i needed a way out of the fight!!
10) and finaly, i dont wanna get caught !!

it not the only thing he have to give in too.what floyd dont understand is? the 40 million is for fighting in Dallas staduim only ,floyd refuse to fight their,vagas dont have that kind of cash or seats, as the contract was 45,000 +seats = 40 million each.so why do he keep saying manny dont want that cash/fight. floyd has to also give in to fighting manny at dallas staduim too.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
lol.. FUNNY because they had to see 3 times the number of seats as the MGM because the prices were 3 times more starting out at the MGM.. $50 at Dallas stadium compared to $150 at MGM. The highest priced ticket at Dallas stadium was $700 compared to $1250 dollars at MGM.. You do the math you have to sell more for if they are cheap. You leave the $50 dollar tickets for the PPVs. Its an executive event not a YMCA membership. You pay top dollar to see prize fighters. I bet you can’t purchase a $50 ticket for a Dallas Cowboy Football Game..
Why talk who needs who? Manny doesn’t need Mayweather to earn big bucks.
Mayweather has only this career to rely on. While Manny has his endorsement and commercials both local and abroad.
Oh, please don’t talk of other business because whatever business Mayweather have, Pacquiao has it too and much more. People abroad doesn’t know how much pacquiao’s business has expand in the Philippines. From commercial buildings to resorts.
Mayweather has only his mouth to be able to stay in the business. Punks grow old too just like his father.
If paquiao go for being a politician and get retaire in boxing..Im sure the boxing world won’t be exciting at all that may cause of it’s …So why do other hates him?..I don’t think so

@ dayyammmm
You’re saying Arum is still all talk, no walk..? Don’t look too far dude, use a magnifier just in case you don’t see your guy Mayweather. Don’t you thick he’s all talk!!!?? Prior to his fight nego with Pac, he’s saying that he’ll kick some ass.. Now he’s afraid to trade leathers with Pac and so all these demands came…
If Mayweather already have the balls to step the ring with Pac, let’s see the accuray your talking about…But for now, this fight will remain a “dream” fight.
……………………………………………………..
He is not afraid to trade leather with Pacquaio he just wants a clean fight thats all. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Everyone wants to see athletes doing the right thing and not cheating to do it..Thats just the American Way.

How were floyd ppv numbers before the odlh fight? Ppl go see floyd lose!!lol I mean come on even on the 24/7 series when he was feedin the homeless there were only like 3 homeless there!! Lol ppl when to cheer oscar hatton n marquez!! Floyd is nuthin without a opponent who brings fans!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You just proved a valid point..That point being, that whether you pay to see Floyd loose or win people still have paid to see him fight. You say Floyd is nothing without an opponent that draws a huge crowd then, why did the 3 guys you just named had the largest pay out in the boxing careers. Just think about what you saying, it make perfect sense to someone who has common sense…I love the way you Pacquaio fans try to twist things. I bet if Floyd vs Mosley would have been in the Dallas Stadiu they would have sold 70,000 seats.
I doubt Floyd would have the guts to fight the likes of Paul Williams. His “0″ is to precious to him and is in the way for him to be an all-time great. Sugar Ray Robinson may have lost 19 fights but he won 173 and he fought anybody. Floyd is a cherry picker.
Floyd is totally right to stick by his absolute insistance that Manny undergo thorough drug testing and screening in the run up to any proposed fight between the two !!
I am sorry, but Manny one of the strongest suspects for steroid use that I have seen since I got it right about Roy Jones Jnr back in his hay-day. Pacman shows all the signs of ‘using’ steroids … lump it or like it ?!!
I think the utter BS that has come out of manny, Freddie and Arum’s mouth thus far about avoiding blood testing should of got the entire boxing world and fanbase smelling their sh.t ???
@ dlamotta
AMEN
Mayweather doesn’t need Pacquiao. Pacquiao needs Mayweather. It’s become more obvious in the last couple of weeks. All Team Pacquiao talks about is Mayweather if they don’t need him why talk about him so much? They need him all roads lead to Floyd Mayweather. When he said that everyone hated. And now we all see how true it is.
There’s nothing more to prove here…
The winner of Mayweather Mosley must face Pacquiao
or else retire… Only Mayweather has the athleticism
and skills to match Pacquiao. But it would be interesting
if he can handle Pacquiao’s relentless attacks, power,
and footwork. Pacquiao Mosley would be a better fight,
but I doubt if Mosley can keep up with Pacquiao. Other
than that, nobody in the welterweight division can bring
any challenge to him. Must fight Paul Williams at 154.
Mayweather is to stupid to have his egg ness grow if a Black Athlete wants to make his money grow than he has to get rid of the leech thug brothers who will suck him dry and have Intellegent White Businees Men make money for him . Just the facts, many Brothers make millions only to become broke after the sport days end.
can someone answer me this question please….floyd offered to pay marquez i,000,000 dollars to step aside, to secure a fight with pacman and asked pacman to step up to the plate and this was when pacman was out on a limbo with no one to fight after he beat hatton…..why did pacman not step up to the plate,..why did waki salud, mannys adviser say floyd could embariss pacman in the ring lol
Floyd can make his money without Pac Man so there is no reason for him to give in. He is STILL the bigger draw and he is going to make $30+ million for his fight with Mosley once the PPV number is counted.
After Arum ruined some of Pac Mans reputation for putting on entertaining fights last night with another Top Rank fighter (not Mannys fault), he will have to fight Mayweather or Mosley to get big money. I think he got about $12 million for that fight last night, which is good, but he needs Floyd or Mosley to carry him to big money.
Heck, Floyd made over $15 million for his fight with JMM and noone expected that fight to do anything. It sold a million and Floyd got his money.
Floyd will get $15+ million for any fight he choses at this point. There really isn’t any disputing that.
Arum just needs to get the heck out of the way and let both of these guys fight. Make no mistake about it, ARUM will never let it happen if he can help it.
floyd doesn’t have time. IRS has been lurking around him
floyd would never go near that $40M fighting Edwin Valero, Andre Berto, and the likes. he’s not the hot cake anymore as he thought he is. he’s a cold french fries soon to follow the bankrupt footsteps of holyfield and tyson due to his “business” savvy
could not have said it any better @ t3xA$ M@D3…was gon write something but @t3xA$ M@D3 said it all…..facts are facts, and facts show that manny dont want the fight or that he’s on steroids…miss me with the psychological b.s, drawing blood wont affect you…AND OH ANOTHER FACT, THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN BY SCIENTIST!!! So Pacman fans be a lil more open minded
jhon,
How is Manny a liar? He complained about the gloves, but in an interview soon after that fight he said it was because of the blood test. He didn’t just say it recently, that was right after the Morales fight. Facts first, post later.
no dallas no 40 million.
not sure if this is true but heard pac made 14 millions last night and cottey made 3 +millions
it not the only thing he have to give in too.what floyd dont understand is? the 40 million is for fighting in Dallas staduim only ,floyd refuse to fight their,vagas dont have that kind of cash or seats, as the contract was 45,000 +seats = 40 million each.so why do he keep saying manny dont want that cash/fight. floyd has to also give in to fighting manny at dallas staduim too.
whether you like him or not Manny fights for all of you, the boxing fans. that has to count for something. mayweather doesn’t care about you, all he cares about is the money and himself. I won’t take anything away from his in ring talent but the way he’s presented himself, I can’t respect him and people with any sense shouldn’t either.
Don’t you see the obvious? Of course, you can’t go against the P4P King Manny. He’s the Ultimate Champion and if you want to take a shot at him, fall in line and don’t negotiate.
Sign the contract!
No doubt in my mind that Floyd has nightmares about Pacquiao.
ok guys all bull sh*t 2 the left if floyed and manny fight floyed is going 2 win i dont think floyed is scared i think manny is scared of testing bacause we all no n our body and mind that we would take the test i dont like giving blood but i would 4 25mill u damn right so manny can keep saying what he wants it’s not going 2 happen and who else can he beat now mosley berto no way n hell they would kill manny i really want 2 c how this summer play’s out who will he fight next maybe no 1 lol but he is a good fighter no lie
floyd can strut all he wants but manny will just give him that 3stooges-both hand earmuff slap like what he did to clottey
reading the GQ scope on pacquiao will give you a clue on why he doesn’t want to take the blood test, it’s simply because nobody tells him what to do….
no, not floyd.
any joe out there will buy those floyd talk about himself, that he is this and that….
but not manny.
How is asking for BOTH fighters to prove they are clean a stupid demand?? I cant beleive how people are defending anyone who refuses random blood testing. It’s really a no brainer-Pac should take the test or just stfu. how can you say ill fight him anytime anywhere as long as im not tested for drugs?
Floyd has painted himself into a corner with this blood testing gimmick, He will now insist that all of his succeeding fights have the same condition. Otherwise, his credibility will be questioned and he will be the laughingstock of the boxing world. Nevertheless, many boxers will still want to fight him, being lured by the big paycheck. The future will tell whether he is right or whether many people have been suckered by his improvised gimmick because he is afraid of Manny Pacquiao.
All these will be academic once Sugar destroys Floyd come May 1st. I used to be a fan of Mayweather but all these trash talk and bashing of reputation are just in poor taste, and frankly I now see Floyd as an obnoxious fool. Put up or shut up already. In contrast, Mosley and Pacquiao look honorable and command well-deserved respect from boxing fans including aspiring fighters and the youth today. I hope Floyd’s sudden silence right before Pacquiao’s fight last night indicates that “he gets it already” – the boxing world is averse to under-handed tactics, baseless accusations, and smear campaigns. I hope Sugar wins and goes on to fight Pacman.
This just in!
Breaking News!
** NEW REASON WHY MANNY CAN’T TAKE STRICTER DRUG TESTING **
“I do laundry on Tuesdays.”
Yea you’re right Chris. The LWW division is stacked, I’m sure Floyd is licking his chops to bring the small guys up in weight.
Yall manny fans are stupid,always saying mayweather wants to make a whole bunch of demands to get out of the fight peep this.MAYWEATHER wanted 60/40 MANNY WANTED 50/50(MANNY DON’t fight for money. lol)Mayweather agreed.Manny wanted a rediculous weight penalty of $10million for every pound over 147 they came in.Mayweather agreed.Manny chose the gloves.Mayweather agreed.Manny chose the size of the ring. Mayweather agreed.Mayweather ask for random blood test for both of them.Manny throws a hissy fit and the fight doesnt happen cause manny don’t wanna take a drug test.Then yall say mayweather don’t wanna fight mosely. Mayweather challenges him.Then yall say mayweather is going to demand alot of stupid things to mosely to get out of the fight.Mayweather ask mosely to take random blood test and Mosely accepts and the fight is going happen.Now yall say mayweather is finna lose and he most likely finna prove yall wrong again. So what yall wanna predict next?
its is now floyd mayweather who in the spot lite. how will measure up with the w.w crowd .will he be blow out by mosley? or will he rediscover himself.? aka balls.
What’s the latest reason for why Manny won’t do random blood tests and make the fight with Floyd?
Hmmmm if Yuri Foreman wins over Cotto… a Pacquiao-Foreman fight might be nice. Another weight division.
@ dayyammmm
You’re saying Arum is still all talk, no walk..? Don’t look too far dude, use a magnifier just in case you don’t see your guy Mayweather. Don’t you thick he’s all talk!!!??

A lot of people are like girls. In public and with their friends they shout it loud how they hate this guy, and how this guy annoys them, how they will get their friends to beat up this guy, all the time talking about this guy and thinking about this guy. Why?
The this guy is Mayweather.
How were floyd ppv numbers before the odlh fight? Ppl go see floyd lose!!lol I mean come on even on the 24/7 series when he was feedin the homeless there were only like 3 homeless there!! Lol ppl when to cheer oscar hatton n marquez!! Floyd is nuthin without a opponent who brings fans!!
Pacquiao is only important to non Filipino people simply because he is thought of as having a chance at beating Mayweather. Take Mayweather out of the equation and Pacquiao is just an ordinary Filipino legend.
Pacquiao and his people are making money out of this PROSPECT of fighting Mayweather, and they are really raking it. They have no intension of actually fighting Mayweather.
Mayweather has stopped talking about Pacquiao now just to kill that PROSPECT of Pacquiao fighting him to stop the tap of cash flowing to Arum as a result.
You hear ‘we want to fight Floyd this, we want to fight Floyd that…’, all to keep that PROSPECT generating hatred for Mayweather and more fans for Pacquiao = more money for Arum. Floyd is putting a stop to that PROSPECT from now onwards.
This coming from Arum, not Pacquiao. Obviously Pacquiao won’t be fighting on ARD television or with Sauerland boxing in Germany (they require olympic style drug testing). I bet after Arum saw Clottey landing clean shots whenever he actually threw anything, he realized no way will he allow Manny to fight Mayweather or Mosley. Arum had been saying before the fight he wants Pacquiao to fight Margarito next anyway. It seems like Pacquiao is more than happy avoiding Mayweather and Mosley.
Mayweather will be fine financially especially since he’s his own promoter. Mayweather is going to earn around $40 million for fighting Mosley and if Pacquiao ever wants to fight him, Mayweather stands to earn around $70 million.
Mayweather won’t give in, he may even ask for more. He doesn’t like to fight Manny Pacquiao, so to avoid it indirectly, he has to demand all this stupid thing. For Pacquiao-Mayweather. bout, don’t think it will happen in our lifetime. We’ll just wait for a Pacquiao-Mosley fight or a Pacquiao-Foreman fight. I think Manny Pacquiao is in for 1 more fight then he’ll retire.
heh Arum still all talk, no walk.
There’s no way he lets his little cashcow in the ring with Mayweather. It’d be embarassing. It’d be a filipino version of the Gatti fight. Floyd would be snapping Pac’s head back all night. You think he looked bad after the Clottey fight? SMH, Joshua barely landed at all and look at how much Pac swells. Floyd’s accuracy and counterpunching would have both those eyes swollen shut by the 6th.
“Mayweather isn’t planning on retiring and going into politics like Pacquiao at some point in the near future. Mayweather can make big money fighting guys like Edwin Valero, Andre Berto, Saul Alvarez and Paul Williams. He doesn’t have to give in if he doesn’t want to and take less than he wants in a fight with Pacquiao.”
Keep dreaming.
Mayfeather is scared its obvious!! Everytime he speaks about pac he studders.
