Pacquiao to fight someone in November
May 31st, 2010
By Jim Dower: WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is going to be fighting in November against someone. If not his preferred opponent Floyd Mayweather Jr., then it will possibly be against fellow Top Rank fighters Miguel Cotto or Antonio Margarito. The number #1 choice is Mayweather, but that fight will come down to whether or not Pacquiao and his promoter Bob Arum can successfully negotiate a deal with Mayweather for the fight.
But that doesn’t mean that the fight negotiations will be a slam dunk this time, because Mayweather is going to want more this time. However, if the fight can’t be put together, Arum would like to put Pacquiao back in with Cotto in a rematch, as long as Cotto can get by Yuri Foreman on June 5th. Cotto was stopped in the 12th round by Pacquiao last November.
The fight brought in 1 million pay-per-view buys, a good number. A rematch between Cotto and Foreman would likely bring in at least 1 million PPV buys again, possibly a little less because boxing fans might not be interested in seeing the rematch given how one-sided the first fight was. However, it’s a win-win for Arum, because he will be promoting both Cotto and Pacquiao, so he won’t have to share the promotional duties with another outside promoter.
Arum will likely put the bout at the Cowboy Stadium, in Arlington, Texas, where it could sell at least 50,000 tickets. This is where Pacquiao fought his last fight against Joshua Clottey in March. A Cotto-Pacquiao fight could sell more than 50,000 tickets if Cotto’s East Coast fans are interested in traveling all the way to Texas to see the fight. Some will, obviously, but it would be asking a lot for fans to have to travel so far to see a fight that Cotto has little chance in winning. Under the ideal circumstances, it would be nice if Arum decided to match Pacquiao against someone else besides Cotto or Antonio Margarito.
Those are decent fights for Arum, but not really for boxing fans because neither Margarito nor Cotto are in the class of Pacquiao. For Pacquiao to be challenged, he needs to be put in with someone like Sergio Martinez or Paul Williams, but Pacquiao would probably never fight either of them. Pacquiao has said that he won’t fight the 5’11” Yuri Foreman, because he’s too tall for him.
However, Margarito is 5’11”, and Martinez is 5’10”, so it’s unclear what the hang-up is right there. Williams is 6’1”, and would be a very tough fight for Pacquiao. I can understand Pacquiao not wanting to fight Williams, but Martinez and Foreman seem like better choices than to see Pacquiao have to fight Margarito in Mexico, because he doesn’t have his license to box in the United States, or to watch Pacquiao beat up Cotto again.

I truly think that we are just wasting our time to even respond to “some people are just dumb.”Can you tell that the way he responds to the comments tells a lot about him/her? I love what “Kano Ako” says, but i could bet right now that “some people are just dumb” will never get the point. Lol!
Y’all Crazy! We all want this fight to happen. So let’s give it up to Pacquiao and Mayweather. Wooo Hooo!!!
@Robbie,
You’re entitled to your own opinion. But, I doubt if Pacquiao wants any other fight than against PBF. He decided to give it one more last shot because of his congressional seat priorities now. I am neighther Pac fan nor May’s fan but, it is a match that I really want to see as an enthusiast. Yes, I do agree with others that Arum and others around him wants to make money out of a match against 2nd rate alternates. We all do not want that. PBF vs Pac this November, we can only hope it happens. But demands from fans maybe will help.
I think if Mayweather fight will not push through, why not Pacquiao takes Shane Mosley? Mayweather won over Mosley in 12 rds. by unanimous decision. If Pacquiao will beat Mosley convincingly within 6 rounds either TKO or KO, that will be a big slap on Mayweathers face. On the other hand if Mosley beat Pacquiao, everybody will get the answer they are longing for. Mayweather is better than Pacquiao. Makes sense!
HEY LEX FUGITIVE
I AGREE WITH U ALL THE WAY
HE IS GOING TO FIGHT ANOTHER BUM, CATCHWEIGHT, DEHYDRATED OR A GUY THAT COMES FROM A LOST
Why is Pac so scared??? Throwing out names like Margacheato, Cotto, and Foreman when their are fighters like Williams, Cintron, Mosley and Berto at 147, Martinez at 154, and a boatload of talent at 140. Manny and his team insist he is small at 147 but refuse to fight at the talent rich 140 pound limit. They refuse to consider the top welterweights or junior middleweights. If Pac is the p4p #1 then shouldn’t he be able to at least be the best in a division? Any division, it doesn’t matter, just for once in his career he should prove hes the best at a weight class by actually fighting the best in a weight class. Nope let Daddy Arum put him in with gatekeepers so he can get $10 million after paying everyone. while Mayweather fights the best for $40 million a bout. Kudos to Arum and Roach they have carefully cherry-picked Manny’s opponents and made a nice sized fortune off him.
@ Peple are so dumb – Golden Boy pimps Mayweather FACT!
it’s really really hard to negotiate when they are very rich. before being loaded with money,they will fight without drug tests. without the 30 days cut off,without the 24 days , 14 days, 3 days and 30 seconds cut off.they forget their humble poor beginnings.we should forget this deadly sport. it’s barbaric.intend to left up or make the break for the poor. now they are talking millions and won’t settle for less.forget them!
gar30,
That is precsiely the point! Pacquiao needs to have more control over who, when and where he fights. He’s the boss, right? Enough of this “I do fight who ever my promoter tells me to fight.” Grow a pair Manny; take charge of your career. Make you own decisions about who to fight. No way should he accept a fight with Margarito–the guy tried to load his gloves. And don’t tell me he didn’t know. What would a rematch with a completely destroyed Cotto prove? Grow a pair and tell Atum to buzz off with that nonsense.
If its ok to put the midget in with Margarito, wouldn’t it be even greater to put the midget in with the fighter that beat Margarito?
He would regain the leverage that he now doesn’t have.
Midget logic is like fuzzy math.
@Zorro, no…David was not a midget, nor was he Filipino.
PUT HIM UP AGAINST THE BLOODTEST
U DONT GET UCLERS DRINKING PEPSI
I wish Bob Arum would stop putting Manny in the ring with top rank fighters, Pacquiao is my favourite fighter of all time (to watch not saying he’s the greatest) but it’s really starting to p**s me off now with the talk of his next fight being against Margarito or a rematch with Cotto, those fights just don’t interest me at all, when Manny has a fight coming up I am normally looking forward to it for weeks in advance and don’t get me wrong I would still watch them to support Manny becouse it’s not his fault he just fights who ever they put in front of him but Arum is milking the cow for his own milk and coudn’t give a toss about his legacy.
In my opinion, the Mayweather camp should have welcome Pacquiao in his willingness to do the 14-day window since it was the original demand. They should be thankful to Pacman Team in the cooperation of what we call “cleanliness in boxing”. But I think, Mayweather camp is still silent until now…Im hoping for a positive outcome. May the world be able to witness “The Fight of the Century”….
@ plazma01:
I agree with you that if Floyd believes that Pacman is nothing to him, then why does Floyd needs a lot of conditions even he said that facing Pacman is an easy one. I really dont understand why Floyd is always turning back.
A fighter having an overall advantage would even usually ask the other be-little fighter his requests to make a face off deal.
i strongly suggests for floyd to retire NOW and not face pacquiao or risk that zero ‘0′ thing.the word ‘risk’ is probably what scares floyd in my opinion.
signs:
1.OSDT – he wanted to gain an upperhand psychologically
2.purse split – last ditch stand for fight not to push thru if pac aggrees to OSDT
so if there is no real risks that he thinks of, the dotted lines just wont fit in namely:
1.pac is the smaller guy
2.one dimensional fighter
3.no defense at all
4.shorter reach
5.had 3 previous defeats
stop PED-accusations and mind conditioning coz it just wont hold in legal arguments and if you put it in public arguments it will just go full circles everytime as people are myopic.
*on the side note Floyd’s skill in my opinion is the antidote to Manny’s aggressive style*
since Floyd said it himself that he is the greatest then he, Mayweather, has to stop talking and just accept the fight and make it happen.if he wants to be the best than everybody else,as based on his statements,then it all comes down to him to make this fight happen. no more B/S. fans on both sides will wait and see the conclusion and will have the last say on this matter after the fight.
plaz
Manny’s agreed to take the test for all you idiots out there, get your facts right.
If this fight doesn’t happen its Mayweather’s fault. That’s a fact.
@Zorro please answer one question how is Floyd scared when it was Manny who wouldn’t take test 14 days before fight, that is two weeks if you pactards can count so maybe it was Manny that’s scared. A -he’s either a cheater on hgh or b-he knows he cant win I say answer is all of the above chump
Floyd fans are so full of assumptions that their fraud idol will beat Manny. Yeah, come on! Bring some more! You flomos are the exact opposite of your idol who we all know is scared of Manny. Hek hek hek.
i for one will watch pac fights
@Zorro zip it up pactard
@Jesus j smartest thing you said get some rest I know your knees and mouth are tired
The man behind “some people are just dumb” is dumb. Hek hek hek.
Stupid is stupid does. I rest my case.
Arum pimps Manny known fact
@Jesus j for one chump I’m grown and for two all you pactards can’t defend Manny for not taking test anyone that knows boxing knows Floyd will win adult pimps Manny known fact so wipe your mouth off chump and spit don’t swallow
@ Some People Are Just Dumb
It hasn’t happened yet kid. Floyd needs to get his confidence check before you can start talking about crushing a nations heart and all that hoopla.
You notice that all you talked about was the past, the prior drug test and the negotiations and why he didn’t take it. Now you talking about how Floyd’ss is going to crush this and that and make a nation cry.
You’re just a dumb kid. Go to be before your mama catches you talking to grown folks. Matter of fact, I best stop commenting before I get myself in a jam with a dumb @ss kid.
Get real, It’s what’s life is all about.
And if I recall may was ready but it was Manny that got in ring alright with clottey what a joke, he just got pimped by arum does what ever Bob wants dummy
@Jesus j shows how dumb you are if they fight and pac loses which he will a nation will be crushed similar to all the fans that were crushed when they followed Hatton over here only to see there idol get ko’d Manny followers will be crushed believe that!
@ Some people Are Dumb
No one cares if Floyd Jr will destroy Pacuiao. Only you and the rest of your kind does. If this was fantasy boxing yes, go on and celebrate but this is real life. All we care about is the fight happening because like Manny, we all just want to shut the phuck up and do the talking in the ring… It’s obvious Floyd and like yourselves are in this fantasy boxing fight. Floyds is to big, to strong, to fast, to skilled, longer reach and has no blue print to be beaten by a smaller guy who’s one dimensional, short arms and can’t speak English very well.
Doesn’t that just sound stupid to you. The bell rang kid, you best get back to your first grade class before your teacher outs you on time out. SCHOOL SOME MORE.
@pekpek proof huh I mean blood test pac rejected was 2 weeks before fight right but I wonder why dummy or should I say you wonder why
@some people are just dumb
you can’t defend Mayweather regarding my comment so you resort to name calling…very childish!!!
Also, if you think Manny is a user where is your proof?
@Jesus j just like a pactard, who has Manny beaten cause nobody to me and do you really think that Manny can beat Floyd please Manny even said if he fights Floyd he needs to get faster even he knows he can’t win but you Manny blowers don’t see it dummies!
@ Some People are just dumb
Move on numb nutts. We are living for today and not yesterday. the more you dwell in the past the more you fall behind in life. Stop catchin up with the sun, you are not going to beat it. It will come up from behind you again. Don’t you have a father or a mother to tell you these things when growing up?
Anywayz, Pacquaio will be in New York soon to receive his FIGHTER OF THE DECADE AWARD…
Pacquiao’s legacy is cemented and drying fast. Floyd Jr is just icing on the cake. As much as all of you might think that Manny Pacquiao’s need s Floyd Jr. to seal his legacy is totally out their minds. That only goes for these Pac haters. Pacquiao is in a group of it’s own and Floyd jr don’t even belong in it.
Floyd’s legacy as great of a fighter he is is still wet and no where near drying. He’ll be fighting for the next 5 years trying to grab the missing pieces to be an all time great. The man is gambling on his undefeated record. Get real, there’s already a retired undefeated fighter and we no longer talk about him as will be for Floyd when the dust has settled.
So hurry up and fight Manny while he’s still around. Don’t gamble on that undefeated record for it will hold no weight. It’s a great accomplishment but so was my perfect attendance at school in my 4th 5th and 6th grade. I was not in the top of my class all those years but my record was perfect.
GET AS LIFE. Get Manny while he’s still available and stop making yourself like your the wanted one. Realize this before the manny cement is high and dry.
It’s funny how Mayweather fans want to see Manny take on Berto, Williams, Martinez and Bradley and yet fail to mention that their idol Mayweather hasn’t fought anyone of them either. Mayweather fans are a bunch of hypocrites!!!!!
@ Jesus Jones:
I agree that it’s with Floyd’s table to make the mega-fight happen. I hope he should consider his advantage over Pacman that he’s taller and bigger…and should sign the deal to fight…otherwise the boxing world will be disappointed including Pacman’s fans…
@jesusj all Manny had to do was take test first time and instead of clotty would have been may who wants to fight an ugh user like Manny, Floyd was ready was he not, get real pactard
The 60/40 Winner option is a road opener towards the fight. If Mayweather really believes that he’ll dominate Pacman, I think he should make it an option and has to sign immediately. If not, there’s something wrong in him. And he must not forget that we also call him “Money”.
@ Tommy only fights I think if not may, berto, Alexander, or Bradley no one else
This fight is good to go. Bigger FISH have stepped in and want’s this fight to happen. If it doesn’t happen, all you Floyd Jr. fans will be hearth broken when you find out that FMJ is just a plain old b1tch.
Outside forces (Corporations) have stepped in to make the fight of century happen.
Mayweather VS Pacquiao “BAD BLOOD” November 13 2010.
Only Floyd Jr can stop this from happening.
Pacman is the “Fighter of the Decade”. He deserves it. He is an exemptional fighter…win or lose, he’s very exciting to watch…
Why didn’t pacman take test first time I mean it was 2 weeks before fight so who was really scared pactards are suckers!
HOPING AGAINST HOPE MEANS MAYWEATHER IS TOTALLY SCARED TO FIGHT THE REAL HERO OF THE P4P KING. IF THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN, LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT MAYWEATHER IS SABOTAGING THE BOUT TO HAPPEN, THERE IS NO DOUBT. IMAGINE HE IS THE BIGGER GUY, THE HEAVIER GUY AND THE TALLER GUY, AND YET HE DEMANDS TOO MUCH, INSTEAD OF THE LITTLE GUY WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE DEMANDING IN THE PERSON OF MANNY PACMAN PACQUIAO. IT IS VERY SHAMEFUL IF ONE TRIES TO VISUALIZE THE SITUATION. HE EVEN WANTS TO SHARE A MUCH BIGGER PORTION OF THE POT MONEY? IT WAS A 50/50 BEFORE. HE HAS AGREED TO 14 DAYS CUT OFF WINDOW AND NOW HE CHANGES THAT TO ONLY 3 DAYS! LET US USE RATHER OUR COCONUT, WHO IS DERAILING THE FIGHT NOW? PACMAN WILL NEVER CONCEDE EVERY MAYWEATHER’S DEMAND. THIS FIGHT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. WATCH OUT, HE COULD HARDLY FIND ANY OPPONENT IF EVERY TIME HE FIGHTS, HE IMPOSES HIS OWN RULE OF BOXING. NOT EVEN ONE IN A MILLION KIND. NEVER BEFORE HAS THERE BEEN ANY PRECENDENT CASE IN THE 20′S, 30′S, 40′S 50′S,70′S – 2009′S
you all guys stop bickering because it is not good for your heart. let us just wait and relax. comes NOVEMBER, all of us will become tensed and excited. just plan your schedule and enjoy the fight of the CENTURY. no trash talking and hold your sentiment to each other because our past and sour conversation will finally be over. if it comes to be no winner on that first bout, there will be next and you guys know the game of boxing a.k.a. BUSINESS with lots of $$$$$$$ sign. peace to everybody and i can sleep peacefully because the fight we want will finally happen this coming NOVEMBER.
Pacquiao brings more passion and excitement in everyfight!!!!
@Some people.I’m all for the big fight if it happens.I just think Floyd will walk right through Mannys non existent defense.Margarito would be a good fight in my opinion.Nothing but action.Maybe Manny would destroy him.Maybe not…Cotto is ridiculous.That has nothing going at all.
If the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight will not push through, why not consider a Pacman-Marquez III? I think that fight will generate at least a million PPV considering that their last 2 fights were not decisive.
Mayweather VS Pacquiao “BAD BLOOD” Coming November 13 2010
no one but a pactard wants to see Manny fight anyone else but may get real cotto or margartio top rank boxers give me a break
As far as another opponent? I say Margarito would be a great fight if he can get his visa.Say what you want about loaded gloves and what not.The guy throws 1,000 punches a fight.It would be a war.Just the kind of thing that die hard fans love.Manny is the Mexicutioner right? fight him in a soccor stadium in Mexico and announce it’s your last fight.2 million buys easy.I’ve been saying for weeks that a fight with Floyd would to one sided.This could be an all time great fight.I would rather see this fight.
Who killed Goliath? Isn’t it David the midget? Now, the same thing will happen to your Goliath Floyd, little David Pacman will hit Floyd with a piston like punch right between the eye and the rest is history. But just in case you forgeot or don’t know what happened, Floyd fell dead on the canvass. I repeat->DEAD.
Pachaters! call him wut you want “midget” wutevur! The fact that he whoops on opponents bigger than him makes him a giant killer! Wow what an insult that DLH, Cotto, Clottey, Hatton, Diaz, Marquez, Morales, Barrera – were all victims to a midget! lol lol lol
Pachaters are so worked up on the idea that Pacquiao avoided Mosley on the basis of Roach statement. Ha ha ha! Anything to belittle the Fighter of The Decade awardee, and 3-time Fighter of the Decade. Pachater’s couldn’t just think outside the box. When the time Mosley was challenging Pacquiao, Pacquiao was just new to welterweight division. As a coach, would you pit your best boxer who is just 5’6″ and new to welterweight to the dreaded Mosley who is 5’9″ and was also fighting in middle weight? As a coach you would give your boxer some time to get acclimated in welterweight.
Yeah, Pachaters couldn’t even give Pacquiao a little slack. They would rather defend Floyd who is a long-time welterweight but wouldn’t fight the best in the division. So who is a fraud now? Hek hek hek.
@Bullet Proof says:
Mosely would knock the midget the FK out!!!!!
=============
Judging by your name, you must be Roger Mayweather who came up with the A-side Meth that makes Filipinos in WWII bullet proof. Hek hek hek
Pacquiao is the biggest FRAUD in boxing history. He has never unified a division for 15 years even though he went though 7 div. He has never defeated a prime, undefeated fighter for 15 years! His trainer, Freddie Roach has already trained a fighter who was taking PEDs. Manny Pacquio had turned down 40 mill to avoid random testing. For the past 5 years, he always fight a fighter who comes from a crushing defeat. He had turned down shane Mosley. He is avoiding the Four UNDEFEATED: Mayweather, Bradley; Alexander; Berto.
Bullet Proof says:
But…Oh, Oh…Pacquiao wants Margarito! He says Martinez is too tall…isn’t Margarito an inch taller than Martinez?
============
Comments like this clearly shows how deep his hatred against Pacquiao is. See this guy doesn’t understand that his pu*sy boy Floyd is 5’8″ but would rather pit 5’6″ Pacquiao against Martinez. If your fraud idol is a tad like Pacquiao, he [Floyd] would’ve gone up in weights and fight bigger fighter like Pacquiao did. Floyd should’ve fought the like of Martinez and Paul Williams. If he beats them, then he could be the fighter of the decade.
pachater are really blinded by Floyd’s semen.
LOL at you Mosley… wuld beat Pacquiao…. WTF are you on drugs…
i lose to Pacquiao and i beat Mosley before..
@Anonymous, Think about it…If Pacquiao KO’d Mosely, he could regain the advantage in negotiation leverage. He would do what Mayweather didn’t do!
Mosely is in Pacquiao’s best interest…
BUT…Pacquiao or Roach won’t go near Mosely!!!!
Mosely would knock the midget the FK out!!!!!
@JOKER, Mosely slammed Margarito…Why not Mosely?
Forget about Margacheato! He can’t even fight in the US!!!
Pacquiao is already a midget at 145, who in a sane world wants to match a “midget” welterweight to a “normal” superwelter weight? If a “big” welterweight like “Mayweather Jr.” don’t want to fight a superwelter, then why would a midget do? even Haye don’t want to fight either bigger Klitschkos even if they are in same class.
As far as Pacquiao vs. Mosely. The fighters that Floyd couldn’t put away, Pacman retired them: the Hatton KO in 3 vs. Mayweather KO in 10, De La Hoya in 8 then quit! vs. Mayweather the distance! Mayweather already softened up Mosely for Pacquiao to destroy him! Mosely would suffer the same fate as Hatton & DeLaHoya! And, Mosely was already beatened by Cotto! That’s why a Pacquiao vs. Mosely is not in the best interest of the boxing fans!
@ dilinger
sure just becareful on your weight…. dont overweightyourself…..you have a contract to abide….
I gues the only fighters that Manny can
fight outside of Mayweather, would
be Paul Williams, Sergio Martinez,
Yuri Foreman, or Andre Berto. I wouldn’t care much about a Pacquiao-Mosely fight, because Cotto already beat Mosely. And, I wouldn.t waste
my money on a Pacquiao-Cotto 2 rematch! Maybe a Pacquiao-Margarito
fight, but Mosely already beat Margarito! The fight we all want to see,
Pacquiao vs. Mayweather!!!
@ bulitpruf
because no one belives to mayweather anymore….no one will ride to mayweather antics anymore…..no ONE believe his talking…….because mayweather is a boring fighter afterall
boxing fans wants EXCITEMENT…..mayweather last 2 fights are boring….mayweather promise a good fight and millions of people were dissatisfied after the 2 boring fight…..FANS WANTS EXCITEMENT…..PACQUIAO BRINGS EXCITEMENT IN BOXING….THATS WHY PACQUIAO IS NO.1…..PACAQUIAO IS EXCITEMENT…..mayweather is boring
@Bullet Proof
your obviosly a hatter. why else would you call a guy why knocks larger men around the ring a midget?
I pray that no one ever fights margacheato EVER AGAIN
the answer tho is because they r promoted by the same guy, bob arum, who is trying to push this fight for his own profit.
margacheato doesnt have enough of a defense to last 6 with manny.
Pac’s move is good. Why waste your time for Mr. Perfect who will just find endless demands and excuses. Floyd age will catch up with him and by the time he realizes it, nobody would even be interested to fight with him. He would have no money value in a year’s time.
Yo MOO, Mosely destroyed Margacheato, so why is Pacquiao wanting to fight Margacheato rather than Mosely?
Could it be fear?
Is the midget afraid of the old man?
You muchkin Pinoys are all jokes!
mayweather will probably fight another old man couse we all know he likes te beat up guys close to 40. or mabey he will find another lightweight to bring up to welter. we all know he loves to beat up on smaller guysd.
not like pac who fights mostly young guys that are all bigger than him.
@ Bullet Proof,
And who should Mayweather fight ? Williams ? Will Mayweather still insist on a blood test up to the day of the fight and then it mysteriously stops 18 days before – for him ? If Manny fights Mosley and KOs him in the second round will you say Mosley was done because he fought Mayweather 1st ? This is BS and anyone that can’t see it is retarded !! If Mayweather refuses this fight he’s scared period,regardless of the blood test cut off,glove size,ring size or head size !Floyd knows that Manny will not stop fighting and he can’t pay him enough to make him stop .Floyd has never delt with a fighter that doesn’t have to submit to his over powering wealth since Oscar D. and you seen how that worked out with the rematch clause. Mayweather thinks he can own the negotiations after the Mosley fight but that’s BS because everyone knows Mosley was over hyped in that fight and only wantabee boxing fans watched it and didn’t know any better.If Manny and Floyd do not meet it’s Floyds choice not Mannys.
manROID will probably fight mosley next. It fits him well cause he likes guys coming off losses. If we are lucky manny will fight margarito next so he will look good because he dont want no part of floyd mayweather..
every fight should be 60 to the winner and 40 to the looser. It would make things go so much more smothly in this messed up sport that badley needs more regulation.
I agree on 60/40 winner/loser split, that can make the PBF vs PAC fight happen.
no more boring fights…. no more mayweather antics…..sweet science is good to see in the ring…..but time changes…..excitement speaks for itself……..MMA brought excitement….thats why there are many followers…..changes evolved in different ways….people wants to see differnt things……and excitement gives them satisfaction…. mayweather last 2 fights shows sweet science one he overweight himself to fight a smaller man, the second a grandpa boxer……the results 2 boring fights…….what a sweet science….a complete dissatisfacrion
@Carlos, that’s an obsession to make Pacman & Marquez. Accept it, they will never meet again in the ring. Move on.
Whatever bs we say about pbf and pacman, we altogether need to push this fight. They owe us fans where they are now. If they don’t fight this year they better both retire. They are killing this sports.
Andy before comenting you need to remove your head from floyds hole.
Carlos if you think Cotto or JMM have any chance against pac at this point your delerious. JMM is almost 40 now and fighting 2 weight classes over whare he was best. And cotto was so thouraly beaten by pac especialy after the 4th that i cant see cotto even wanting a rematch. I see pac beating both of them faster than before.
Only real challenges for manny or mayweather for that matter is eachother, or paul williams, or sergio martinez.
Any other match up is a rip off for the fans.
I hope there’s a rematch between cotto vs pacquiao…. Miguel cotto will beat manny pacquiao this time and if it doesn’t happen again then pacquiao should fight Juan Manuel Marquez again
conversation between PAC and ROACH:
Pac: I need my drugs in order to fight big money Floyd.
ROOOOACH: Don’t be a pu?&&**ssy. He can’t do a thing to you.
PAC: Ever since you enter my a&***&&ss, I can’t box anymore like I used to.
Roach: You will get your drugs. You are the best Pacman front and behind.
pac: I feel so guay today. I love you coach.
Floyd should realise that a fight with PAC would be his biggest takings he would have at his stage of his career (as long as he is not too greedy). PAC would have other priorities besides boxing as he would be busy as a legislator at the Congress. A fight in November may be his last so if Floyd is out, PAC may opt to fight for the super welterweight title to end his career.
So if the fight with Floyd does not happen (after PAC gave in to his 14 day cutoff) it would be Floyd’s loss not PAC’s. Floyd remains the only obstacle to the fight happening.
Pac wont fight a fast welterweight who doesnt trade shots unless they get down to 142… roach said it himself go to youtube and watch the pacman exposed video…. there is video proff of roach saying thats why he turned down mosley because he couldnt make 142 and when mosley said “you fought oscar at 147″ he said thats oscar…. ya’l arent the same people youre better than oscar lol turned him down because he was too good and couldnt be handicapped by a catchweight…. so much for the peoples champ… roach is a crook
@KANO AKO
LOL TOO FAST AND TOO STRONG? WOW NOW IVVE HEARD EVERYTHING lol Mosley hits harder than pac and zab is way faster than pac and a southpaw at that… both of them got HANDLED
Conversation between father and son:
Dad: Little Floyd, Pacquiao is too fast and too strong for you, do not fight him. He’s going to over power you, destroy you, pulverize you.
Son: I know dad, that’s why I’m doing everything to avoid fighting him. I came up with lots of alibis and excuses like taking blood test, bigger share of the loot. I even accuse him of taking steroids and afraid to fight me. Actually, dad, I’m terrified to fight him. I have never seen anything like him. Please do not tell anyone what I told you, uncle Roger will help to come up with more alibis and excuses for me.
Dad: Good thinking son, I will also do the same, I’m gonna accuse him of taking steroids too.
Son: Thanks dad, you are truly a criminal, I would like to be like you. I’ll pretend that I’m also a wise wise like you and we’ll also accuse Freddie of giving Pacquio some drugs to enhance his power and speed.
Dad: Good boy. Son you are just like me, a smart guy.
Mayweather do not deserve to get a fight with the Great Pacman. Mayweather and his father and uncle are not the kind of Americans that America can be proud of. It’s a shame for the rest of Americans to have this family of criminals. Mayweather is afraid of Pacquiao and the fight everybody wants to see will never happen. Mayweather knows that Pacquiao will destroy him inside the ring without mercy. Mayweather wants to be remembered as the greatest undefeated boxer of all time, but you can bet that Mayweather will be remembered as the greatest coward boxer of all time.
Don’t forget BulletProof, pac himself said that PWill was too tall, and they ran from fighting Martinez, yet everyone talks about Floyd?
Nope better yet, since everyone is saying how small Pac is:
Take the Super fight against BRADLEY, or ALEXANDER they are Jr Welters which is “Pac’sNatural Weight”
Yo, Pactards…60/40 split and testing up to the day of the fight!!!!
Or…you can fight Mosely, Berto or Martinez!!!
Oh, Oh, let me guess…you want to fight Margarito right?
Let’s watch those PPV numbers!!!
@Amain, I agree with you man. All these Pacroids know is…PACYOW, PACYOW, PACYOW!
I would bet that they wouldn’t know anything about anything that occured pre-Pacquiao.
They get their knowledge from watching Godzilla vs. Rodan fights and Kung Fu movie marathon reruns.
CEO of Top Rank Promotions and promoter of Manny Pacquiao, Bob Arum has recently discredited the words of a few members of Pacquiao’s camp for putting the negotiations for a Mayweather fight at risk. Bob Arum and Golden Boy Promotions as well as Mayweather camp has expressed weeks ago that they will keep negotiations away from the media this time around to avoid causing unnecessary bad blood that might be instigated by the media like it did in the first negotiations last January.
Eric Pineda and Jeng Gacal have recently been in interviews allegedly claiming that Mayweather is asking for more than a 50/50 cut and that Pacquiao will absolutely not accept. Prior to this, both Bob Arum and team Mayweather have responded to interviews pertaining to the negotiations with a “no comment”.
Personally, I think Eric Pineda and Jeng Gacal should keep their mouths shut and read their memos properly before opening their mouth. Many other articles and journalists all over the internet as well as the physical world have already eaten up their claims and rumors and reporting them as facts to the public, thus causing another slight uproar within the boxing community where some are now saying Mayweather is making more demands to somehow avoid the fight.
“They are more than irritating, because so much of this is ego, and when you say that if he [Mayweather] says this, Manny Pacquiao is not going to fight, that’s not the way you negotiate,” stated and angry Bob Arum in a recent interview.
Arum also shared that Pacquiao is urging members of his camp to refrain from making comments pertaining to the negotiations.
He says, “I know Manny is just as angry as I am that these guys, who have nothing to do with any of these negotiations, keep shooting their mouths off and inflaming the situation”.
Eric Pineda is Pacquiao’s right-hand man and the one who manages his business. Jeng Gacal is his legal advisor.
In my opinion, Pacquiao has way too many “extra guys” in his camp to begin with that have too much power. People like Pineda and Gacal should have never been there from the start in the first place, but that’s just me.
@Amain, I agree with you man. All these little fellas know is PACYOW…PACYOW…PACYOW!!!
@xspot you dont know the sweet science, mayweather is the sweet science and real boxing fans appreciate it. watching a living legend completely outbox someone and make a fellow pro look almost like an amature is exiting to me, it is not boring. i love mayweathers fights and i’ve watched about 35 out of his 41. pacquiao is exciting too, i’ve watched probably about 10 or 11 of his fights. those are exciting because they are close (except for his last several fights). mayweather’s fights are typically called boring because they are almost never close fights, they are one-sided and only mayweather can make a fight look like that against top opponents like mosley. i think he is going to do the same to pacquiao, personally.
only way he’s going to fight mayweather is if he makes an actual concession this time. mayweather agreeing to 50/50 split, $10,000,000 per pound, the gloves used, and a 14 day cutoff wasn’t enough for pacquiao last time. now all of sudden it is enough for him. well those are old terms. pacquiao’s going to have to concede something. and fighting cotto again or margarito would be a complete ass joke.
boxing fans already learned their lessons…………mayweather talks too much just to hype the fight…. but did not provide an exciting fight….maywaether produced two boring and mismatch fights. millions ppv were sold….but million were dissatisfied….. boxing fans will not ride to mayweather antics anymore…boxing fans will not ride to mayweather hype anymore…… mayweather is a boring fighter who just talk too much
Why not Mosely, Berto, or Martinez?
Just the mention of Antonio Margarito is a Joke and reveals Pacquiao as the paper creation he is!!!
Margarito doesn’t have a license in the US and Arum is stll trying to force this fight. Arum is trying to make as much money from the midget as possible.
Margarito…Can’t wait to see the PPV numbers!!!
Only pactards will watch this fight if not with may answer this what happened first time your beloved idol Manny didn’t want to take blood test two weeks before fight Manny lovers are just dumb should be my new name suckers
Pac vs Cotto sold 1,250,000 PPV, not 1million.
The first comment actually does have some truth to it. I know I definitely wouldn’t pay to watch Pac fight either Cotto or Margarito. Most boxing fans will agree, these are awful matches. Pac is the most exciting boxer on the planet but that doesn’t necessarily guarantee a great fight. He has to fight any of these guys: Floyd, Sergio, Bradley, Williams. I’d settle for Berto. Otherwise it will be a crying shame. Who the hell wants to see him slaughter Cotto again? Nobody wants to see him fight an undeserving, flat-footed guy in Mexico either.
for anyone hating on mayweather, this article speaks for itself:

This fight has been made ever since floyd made his comeback, the rest has just been hype.
mayweather last 2 fights are boring fights…..VERY BORING FIGHTS..
If manny doesn’t fight Floyd then he should fight berto I would pay to see that fight but margarito shouldn’t be a option..
I’m watching it,this could be his last fight.When he retires…it’s one off my list of most exciting boxers.
This is old news
THERES ONLY ONE FIGHT THE FANS WANT AND IF IT DOESN’T HAPPEN BOTH BOXERS WILL LOSE THE RESPECT OF GENUINE BOXING FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD…..
@some people
Are you referring to yourself with your name? You could also change your name to Douc$heBag and it would fit you as well and you can bet that everyone will be watching this fight, whoever Pac fights because he puts on a great show for the fans unlike other boxers.
“some people are just dumb” LIKE YOU!
Only pactards will watch if its not against may and I bet ppv numbers will be really low
