Pacquiao wants Mayweather bout
March 14th, 2010
By Sean McDaniel: After easily defeating former IBF welterweight champion Joshua Clottey by a 12 round lopsided unanimous decision on Saturday night at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium, Manny Pacquiao is now calling for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to fight him. Pacquiao says “I want that fight, but it’s up to him. I’m ready to fight any time. Maybe if [Shane] Mosley wins, I’ll fight him. Floyd’s style isn’t that difficult, though.” There’s one problem with Pacquiao fighting Mayweather and that’s the Olympic style blood testing that Mayweather wants.
Roach has been saying that it’s up to the commission (the Nevada or Texas Athletic Commission] to decide what kind of testing that will be done for a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao. Since neither of these states require blood testing, the only way that blood testing will be done is if the two fighters agree to it. Without the blood testing, Mayweather probably won’t be interested in fighting Pacquiao.
Mayweather was agreeable last time to limited blood testing that doesn’t truly fit into the category of random. It was random up to a point, stopping at agreed upon day before the fight. Mayweather wanted 14 days while Pacquiao wanted 24 days. This is the problem. If Pacquiao is agreeable to the blood testing, then there should be no problems setting up a fight between him and Mayweather.
Pacquiao looked great on Saturday night, defeating Clottey and making him look like a punching bag in the process. Pacquiao landed over 1200 punches, although most of them were blocked on Clottey’s gloves. There were over 50,000 boxing fans in the Dallas Cowboy Stadium to witness the fight. Instead of an action packed bout like the one that Roach and many people thought it would be, the fight was a dull affair with Clottey holding up his guard and blocking punches all night long.
He did an admirable job of blocking the shots, but forgot about throwing punches back at Pacquiao. The fight, along with the high number of mismatches on the undercard, was disappointing to say the least. It was a bad match up going into the fight because Clottey wasn’t known for being an offensive fighter and had failed in most of his previous attempts at fighting 1st tier fighter.
Clottey looked even worse than he had in his losses to Carlos Baldomir, Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto. At least in those fights, Clottey attempted to throw punches for a small amount of rounds before tiring. In Saturday’s fight, Clottey never did get untracked and made the fight look like a sparring session between two Top Rank fighters that new each other.

PACMAN is the champ right ?? he has the belt and recognition to prove that… so I PERSONALLY THINK that Mayweather should just accept that fact and stop making excuses!!
Mayweather fans make a petition to get Mayweather in the ring please. I want to see this fight. I want to see Mayweather get knocked out. 100 punches per round, I want to see Mayweather deal with that for twelve rounds. Mayweather’s new technic will be called the TURTLE/CHICKEN technic, COVER UP and RUN!!!! LOL!
@Smada199: HAHAHA! LOL! LMOF! Mayweather couldn’t knock Malignaggi out without numbing his hands!!!! LOL! It don’t matter anymore because Mayweather is going to jail with his uncle Roger. Mayweathers can wear their dresses all they want in jail, BUBBA don’t mind after he makes them his BIAAATCHES!!!LOL!
Listen to this…. (tapped conversation)
ShineMostly:
Listen modapucka. I don’t care if you beat me but i gotta retire with a big moneyweather (means retirement money). I don’t want pacman to send me to retirement plan. It’s better if its you buddy.
Moneyweather:
Alright aright now we talking business… this is what money is all about. Well DeloHeyya is thinking maybe i should make more money by picking fights… can’t fight pacman yet, maybe when pacman turned 40 or so. So I’m thinking you and I can make money just like what you said on your TV interview…
ShineMOstly:
That’s the message I was saying brotha.. that’s it. I gotta get out with my pockets full of dough man. We can both make money. I’m glad you got my message..
Moneyweather:
Well u know. If it’s business I’m down…. i don’t care if you we’re taking steriods before.. doesn’t matter as long as I ammm… I amm..
ShineMostly:
Win? yean modapucka.. u will win this fight. But we gotta be carefull doug. I don’t want to be obvious like what Clottey did. I want to throw some punchess too..
That’s why he calls him self “Floys Moneyweather” The money maker or Money or..what ever… He got obsessed with “Business” not “Boxing” He’s got skills but he discovered the formula – SKILLS+Business Strategy = $$$$ Mula or Money!! It’s a disgrace for Boxing World but hey MR. YOUNG Entrepreneur got’s to do what a Young Entrepreneur gotta do!! It sucks if all boxer’s will start doing it Floydie’s way. If all boxer’s will throw excuses not to fight and just pick fights all the time. It’s unfair for the GREAT fighters who didn’t had a chance to study (online business for boxers)at Floydie University..
Floydy decided to fight Shayne nowwww.. (when he’s a bit older) and it’s a sure win for Floyd and a great retirement income for Shayne
both of them will go home happy. THat’s Floyd’s deal. He masters business in boxing (ooops secret revealed). He learned it from Harvard Business School (online!!!). He calls it My Greatest Boxing Business. He says that in his interviews.. It’s a game master plan where he will always run a winner. WINNER I SAY!!! WINNER.. He got you fooled guys. He’s not the best champ. He’s a great Businessman Boxer. How can you argue with that. It’s the best money making strategy. Ahhhhhh.. Now you know..
Did the greatest champs like the great “Ali” asked anybody to do drug test? NOOO! They didn’t did it before, and y ask now? THey just fight like real man. If pacman agrees to do blood test Mayweather will come up with another excuse like My Toothfairy says I can’t fight tonight… or ..ok sorry i’m not good at this maybe we should ask Floyd. He can come up with a great one (instantly). Just like he did when he was ask to fight Cotto (was the a tough fighter at that time) or Shane (younger at that time,-maybe not smarter) or Margarito.. and list go on and on.. He’s got lots of excuses and he can make a book of all his excuses. Help him write it guys.. It will be a best seller. Let’s cut the crap and just sign d damn contract and fight… fight damit fight!!! or should we ask pls? floyd fight? pls?
KIng of Excuses, not champions. All of u Mayweather fan should dig more about pac floyd. Mayweather is the King of all excuses (google it and you’ll see). Pacman never asked any one to do any stupid test since boxing doesn’t allow it anyway. He just fight the greatest fighters. He doesn’t ask y. He doesn’t say it’s unfair for a little guy to fight big guys. Since he was 13 years old, never he made any excuses not to fight anybody. He eats what blocks his way. Just like pacman. You are a victim of Floyd greatest excuses…. you’re just like him… run and excuse. pick fights. Think….?
Quit hiding and take the test Pac Man and your wish will be granted to take on Money May if he can get past Sugar Shane…..
taurus…first of all would Floyd not be subject to the same testing so honestly what’s the real problem here? Pac thinking the reason he lost to Eric M in their first fight was due to having blood drawn just prior to their fight? Floyd asked for 14 days? So is Pac really that mentally weak? Let’s just suppose Floyd did not agree to the Million/pound weight stipulation people would be complaining. it is all part of negotiations…you ask for one thing I ask for another. By the way I don’t think Manny is afraid of having blood drawn I do however think he is nothing more than Arum’s little boy and we ALL know how Arum feels about working with Floyd…so the real culprit here is Arum NOT Floyd or Manny.
@ motownhitman, if Pacman is really one dimensional fighter like KFC said, then tell KFC to fight Pacquiao rather than fabricating accusations and pretending he want to clean up boxing
Some of you Pac fans are completely blinded by your love for Pac. Listen I get that he’s a source of National Pride to many of you but there still needs to be a level of objectivity. The fact that Clottey fought his USUAL fight and the fact that Pac fought his USUAL fight is not impressive. When Manny decides to do more than throw a bunch of punches and avoid more punches than I will give him credit…but until then the statement that he’s a “one dimensional” fighter is true.
why would pacman fight clottey? answer easy payday was clottey as dangerous an opponent as mosley i dont think so. floyd is disliked because of his talent much like ali.ps jim lampley should try and be a little impartial next time didnt know he was a pacman fan thought he was a fan of boxing!
MANNY does not want to fight FLOYD. He is just FRONTING. He knows damn well that he is not going to take the RANDOM BLOOD TEST and He also knows damn well that FLOYD is not gonna back off of his demands for the test. This is all a GAME BY MANNY FREDDIE and BOB that is gonna back fire on THEM just like the FLOYD /MOSLEY FIGHT DID.
i do think pac will fight a better opponent next time.. hopefully its floyd or shane.. that whole card was so bad i dont think pac-mania can carry another farce by itself.. i think the public is seeing manny for what he is.. a great brawler, that fights moslty guys washed up or coming off a loss or two..hes like the the warrior arturo gatti but a little better..pacs people are protecting him from good fighters with superb defense like mayweather..cause it would be like jmm all over again ouch!!
Mayweather will knock him out end of discussion
Bottomline, big Flo is scared of Pac… drugged or not.
Pacquiao wants Mayweather bout… but Mayweather does not want to. His zero loss is ever too important, can not risk that.

With the amazing fight of PAC against Strong and Stone-Hard Clotty… I came to realize that the PAC has nothing more to prove….. PBF should not keep himself hiding behind drug testing issue… but he has to come out great with PBF vs Mosley Fight… at least a convincing win over Mosley… (Which I doubt he can…)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Are you serious with what you are saying? Did you actually watch the fight? Because what i saw was not impressive. All Clottey did was cover his face without throwing any punches,nearly no movement..He was like a punching bag..That guy was a fluke and he just wanted to get paid and he did. I can’t believe you Pac Fans are calling this a great victory. I could have thrown 1200 punches if someone was there just standing in from on me not moving or punching back.
‘ 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? ‘
This is the only angle any future discussion about this fight should take. Manny and his lot are talking nonsense and all should be seeing it for what it is : manny has something seriously wrong and is e=terrified of being found out ?!!

Floyd won’t fight in TEXAS, Why?!?!??!??
that superdome is HUGE!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Your answer is simple, its the same reason Pacquiao chose to fight there, because they don’t make it mandatory to test for PEDs..What kinda crap is that?
How many times does it have to be repeated?
Arum doesn’t want Pacquiao to fight Mayweather. He’s terrified that Floyd will make Pac look like a Filipino Gatti.
He doesn’t want to lose his little cashcow. He’s already lost Cotto and Margarito. Pacquiao is his only superstar in the welterweight division now.
Study your boxing history. The evidence is all right there. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Floyd Mayweather was caught in the very same situation that Pac is caught in right now.
At the time, Floyd wanted the biggest fight in boxing, which was a match with Oscar. Arum despised Oscar for leaving Top Rank and creating a competing promotional company, Golden Boy. So Floyd left Arum and made the fight with Oscar on his own – turned out to be the BIGGEST boxing match in history.
Fast foward to the present. Pacquiao wants the biggest fight in boxing, which is a match with Floyd Maywather. Arum despises Floyd for leaving Top Rank to fight Oscar, another guy he still despises for creating GBP. It’ll be a cold day in hell before Arum allows Pacquiao to fight Floyd. If Pac wants that fight, he’s going to have to leave Top Rank.
If he doesn’t, expect more garbage matchups with other Top Rank fighters – Joshua Clottey will be the just the first in a long line of mismatches promoted by Arum.
With the amazing fight of PAC against Strong and Stone-Hard Clotty… I came to realize that the PAC has nothing more to prove….. PBF should not keep himself hiding behind drug testing issue… but he has to come out great with PBF vs Mosley Fight… at least a convincing win over Mosley… (Which I doubt he can…)
@ Anonymous
Under what ground will Pac demand random blood testing for Floyd? Because his Father is a convicted drug user or because his uncle always talks ?
Unless otherwise Pacquiao believes that Floyd is alien he would have strongly push on getting Floyd on random .
wowza,
What does that prove? 24 days out is a stupid number. Remember that Roach said himselfthey were ok with it “…as long as they cut it off a few days before the fight…” until Arum publicly slapped him down over those comments. Floyd agreed to 14 days, TWO FULL WEEKS out, yet they wouldn’t sign. You know as well as I do that Arum would not let Pac Man sign that deal. The random blood test were in the original agreement that Pac Man agreed to until Floyd agreed to the $10 million per pound penalty, which Arum thought he would balk at. Once Floyd agreed to that, then Arum had to use the blood test.
You have to admit the whole “…taking blood makes me weak…” argument is pretty lame when you have fourteen days to recover. Lets just call a spade a spade, Arum doesn’t want the fight to happen and it won’t happen. Arum will blame Mayweather and idiots will believe him.
It is too bad that Manny doesn’t fight for someone else because I KNOW he wants the fight and it would have already happened if arum was not involved.
alot of people believed a-rod wasnt roided up and they interviwed him and he sayed no ive never used it 1 year later a-rod is on tv talkin bout how he used roids.
i jus wan ask all u guys something. what if pac demanded the blood testing and floyd went and scheduled a diff fight?. would u guys take floyds excuses? or would u tear him up
IN MY ANALYSIS PACMAN AND MAYWEATHER BOXING BOUT WON’T STILL HAPPEN ON THE FOLLOWING GROUND: IF MAYWEATHER IS DEFEATED BY SHANE MOSLEY. 2ND IF PACQUIAO WINS CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION THIS COMING MONTH OF MAY. I DOUBT THERE MAY BE BOXING MATCHUP BETWEEN THESE TWO GREAT SPLENDID FIGHTERS.
JACK FLORES
BOXING ANALYST
haku,
The FACTS are Pacquiao signed after mediation for 24 days out, Floyd chose not to sign, facts.
duke,
And why not trust him for his attitude? Yea people give him the benefit of the doubt because of the way he acts. He doesn’t seem like a person to cheat a sport and let his people down. I’m not saying he’s innocent, but his persona speaks volumes.
Either he’s not taking PEDs or he’s the biggest con man in today’s world. Cover of Time magazine, Fighter of the Decade by BWAA, Jimmy Kimmel twice, 60 minutes, Good Morning America, and now GQ. People are capable of it, more so sociopaths, not saying they aren’t. But you really think he’s fooling EVERYONE??? The way he acts is all a sham?? Wow, you’re quite the cynic, not a healthy way to live life.
if u guys think mannys gon throw that many punches and miss 80% and floyd wont catch him uguys dont know shyt. manny is perfect for floyds style. u can swing all u want against clottey and not have nuthin but floyd will catch u. u guys know how they beat hatton?. cuz floyd exposed him to the left hook. so team pacman used that strategy. if he landed 20% against clottey hed land 10% against floyd. manny didnt wan take the blood test not cuz hes scared its cuz he knows floyd gon embarace him.im tellin u guys the fight will b stopped by the 9th round. either a ko or corner stopage. u guys think floyds this glass chin fighter hes not he can take a punch. hed jus rather dodge em. if u seen an incoming vehicle would u not move away from it?. or is that runnin
@Jhon. yeah reading the books about filipino people don’t give you much info. you have to live with them to know them. thing about them is they are very stuborn and hard headed when it comes to pride and principles. the righteous way.
If for a reason or excuse the fight between Manny and Floyd is not gonna take place again in case Floyd won against Mosley it will not be because of blood testing, this time it will be about purse sharing with Floyd demanding a much bigger share because of PPV results between their respective fights.
i wonder why floyd’s camp did not answer…
all that paksman camp is asking is “WINNER TAKES ALL”…
never heard from them again… did you????
what floyd dont understand is? the 40 million is for fighting in Dallas staduim only ,floyd refuse to fight their,vagas dont have that king of cash, as the contract was 45,000 +seats = 40 million each.so why do he keep saying manny dont want that cash/fight.its has to be in dallas which floyd refuse to fight .why?
I wonder if mayweather fight manny will he still be so open ? keep his left hand at waist level and right below his jaw. that means he have to duck and weave 1,200 punches. ha,a knock out,
pac was jabbing was hitting well last night.a new thing to counter floyd jab.
@KIdboxing
Pacquaio never signed the contract. It was Floyd who signed the contract…. Once again get your FACTS straight.
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.
watching the fight last night i really dont think he would beat floyed at all clotty didnt punch much but win he did he landed now think of floyed and he’s way faster manny has fast hands but a slow head look at his fights guys even the 1′s he won he eats alot of punches and he take’s them but thats not a good way 2 fight floyed lol yea im’a eat his punches and knock him out yea that will work and i dont no if it was just me but he looked a lil tired near the end his mouth was open i never seen floyed tired really u guys i no u dont like his mouth but the man is really better then manny but hay maybe we’ll c 1 day
Floyd won’t fight in TEXAS, Why?!?!??!??
that superdome is HUGE!
There’s not much choice for Floyd.
If Floyd tries to beat Mosley and wins, Pacquiao is waiting for him.
If Floyd looses to Mosley, his ego will be crushed and his big mouth silenced. He is beaten by an old man.
So like what he already said, he is in a “no win situation”.
All of his problems are caused by his foul talkin big mouth.
I suggest he quit/retire now before May1, he can always fake
injury like he did w/ JuanMa.
The Pacquiao vs Clottey fight is a preview of what’s goin to happen if it was Pacquiao vs. Mayweather except that Manny will not be treating Floyd humanely but a loud mouth chicken.
this is why pacquiao didn’t want to figt mayweather JUST yet cause he pacquiao needs more time to train for mayweather .look what ROACH HAD TO SAY ABOUT MAYWEATHER.
There’s not much that Manny Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, likes right now about Floyd Mayweather Jr., after the unbeaten fighter wouldn’t relent on his push to adopt strict drug-testing guidelines — a stance that helped scrap a bout that would’ve guaranteed each fighter $25 million.
Yet, when asked to pick who’d win Mayweather’s May 1 bout against Pomona’s Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Roach put aside the hard feelings.
“I like Mayweather to win,” Roach said. “I do hope Shane finds a way; he’s my friend, but he has trouble with speed and the movement he’ll get from Mayweather, so I think Floyd will win a decision.”
Mayweather and Mosley are due in Los Angeles on Thursday for a noon news conference at L.A. Live. Tickets for their fight, ranging from $150 to $1,250, will go on sale through Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. PST Tuesday.
Roach predicted Mosley won’t implement a major change to his fighting style, assessing that at 38 the world welterweight champion, who last fought in January 2009 versus Antonio Margarito, “is set in his ways.”
Asked how Mosley should fight Mayweather, Roach said, “The same thing we’ll have to do if that fight ever happens, but I’m not going to tell you that, in case we do get that fight.”
Roach said he believes Mosley “will go after [Mayweather], and pressure him, and be very aggressive.
“But he has to be careful about doing that because he risks walking into some counterpunches. Floyd’s not just a runner. He’ll set you up. I’m sure Shane knows that. It’ll be interesting to see how he deals with that.”
I thought that Team Pacquiao relented to a 14-day limit. What they did not agree was a random test so close to D-day. Believe me, Mayweather was not yet ready to fight Pacquiao that time and would raise any issue under the sun just to railroad the fight. Am I right, “Chicken” Floyd?
manny is full of it. he had blood drawn 20 days prior to clottey but couldn’t agree with 14. manny is scared. i give him props for shutting out clottey. but we all know manny aint gonna fight floyd. i bet yall that if manny was an a#%#$ just like floyd, we would all be calling for his head if didn’t want to take a blood test. freddie says floyd did the same weight jump as manny. but floyd like every other fighter saw his KO percentage drop as he went up. but since manny is nice and humble we give him a pass for walking around the issue. mosley was and is a good guy but he was juiced. manny can do the same. get off the nuts and realize. watch arum set up pacquiao vs margarito the second floyd brings up random blood testing the second go-round.
I wouldn’t doubt that they would accuse him of using crack. They already accused him of being on the filipino juice that makes bullets bounce off of him.
whats next ,they going to say Mannys on crack,if he is clean 14 days sould not be a problem onless hes not or maybe hes doing dope jeje ,make the fight happend crack or not
I want to see PBF vs Manny so there will be some conclusion to all the haters on both sides spitting stupid comments at each other about how much they know about this and that.
Another part of me wants to see Mosley whoop on PBF and prove that he’s the man at WW like I think he is. Then we can see an action packed fight between Mosley vs Pac.
The Manny vs Clottey fight was boring, but interesting at the same time. It reminded me of watching a PBF fight boring, but interesting. Manny haters can say the fight sucked, but it’s pretty much the same you get when you watch a PBF fight. Unless you learn to appreciate PBFs skills you wouldn’t enjoy the fight. If you appreciate Manny’s skills you would’ve enjoyed the fight. He threw 1200 punches in the fight most of the people blogging in here couldn’t manage to throw 100 punches without feeling tired.
rather pac has a habit of making fighter not preform as normal.or just look bad and a no show.
pac shows good boxing skill he kept cottey at a distance with his right jab, if he fight mosley I bet you mosley would make mosley look old over night . and that what they would say after pac make mosey look bad as this is how pac would fight mosley as a boxer.
if mayweather or pacquiao will not back down, this fight ain’t happening. I say… fight mosley or berto instead, Manny! then retire! You’re set for life already!
Manny needs to stop refusing to take the random blood test. With each excuse/refusal he’s increasingly adding to the suspicion he’s a PEDS user and ruining his reputation. Come on Manny, prove you’re clean (Victor Conte of former Balco says boxing’s current testing program is a joke.) and take the random blood tests.
If floyd is all about money why doesn’t he fight in dallas where he can beat manny n make even more money then in vegas? Ppl keep bashin pac for walkin away from 25 mill but floyd blew off another 5 to 10 by no havin the fight in dallas!!
I think Mosley and Pac would be a much more competitive fight than Pac vs. Floyd, If they will still negotiaite with FMJ, it will undergo with a lot of BS! The sad part is if ever they will fight we might get bored. Unlike Mosley, he stated that after mayweather he wants to fight Pac. I think it’ll be more exciting.
Sorry Manny, but I don’t think this fight will happen. With the talent, the power and the excitement you brought to boxing this days, I don’t think Floyd Mayweather wants to face you inside the ring. He’ll make more stupid demands just to avoid a fight from you. He’s just scared stiff. Manny Pacquiao was awesome in demolishing Clottey.
you want the fight pacquiao just take the test its not like mayweather is just asking him to do it mayweather gonna take it as well
Pac should tell floyd he wants to eat his kids!! Lol take a few pages off tyson blackbook
Be realistic, Pac is true to his words. He certainly wants to fight and beat up Floyd. But for now, Floyd has still to pass Granpa Shane who is so determined to whip Floyd ass. If he wins, tell your man just to get in the ring and fight, and drop all these *h**t*. He has always said manny has no skills, easy to beat, one-dimensional fighter, will whip his ass, etc, etc. so why all these bull*h**ts.
@ not so REALISTIC
PACMAN can retire with his head up and not bowing to any of Floyds sh*T.
Paired these two fighters and asked them a question if they are willing to fight each other.
The other says “YES” in a heartbeat! The other will say…you know what? My sport is a clean sport…blah..blah…blah…WTF!
Manny’s power punches amost blew up my surround system!!! It was like bang bang bang u want more here bang bang bang
I think PBF is full of it. Pacman said he would test up to 24 days. I think PBF should stand for Punk Boy Floyd. I understand why PBF won’t take the chance at this fight and take a possible loss. He doesn’t want to blemish his pretty record. Then retire! Fight hard or go home!
Besides Pacman does not need him to get paid (obviously).
after the fight with clottey, now i actually dont like pac to fight floyd else it would be another boring fight, hope pac fights berto or bradley, both undefeated, theyd make a better fight and more fan friendly match
Pacquaio signed the contract and Mayweather didn’t. Personally i think you and Floyd are full of sh*t.
if PACMAN wants the fight that bad he will take the test otherwise his words are pointless. He knows PBF wont fight unless he takes the test so Pacman should stop SAYING that he wants the floyd fight and put ACTION in to his words by taking the test. personally i think he is full of sh*t.
