Khan says Floyd afraid to fight Manny
October 6th, 2011
By John F. McKenna (McJack): In a surprising turn of events WBA/IBF light welterweight champion Amir Khan (26-1, 18 KO’s) is accusing World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26 KO’s) of being afraid to fight WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KO’s).
In response to a question as to who would have the opportunity to fight Mayweather first, Khan or Pacquiao, Khan was quoted by Fighthype.com saying:
“I think I’ll get that fight before Manny. Mayweather’s scared to fight Pacquiao.”
Golden Boy has been the promoter for Mayweather since he fought Oscar De La Hoya on May 5, 2007. The Mayweahter – De La Hoya fight generated a live gate of over 19 million dollars, the largest live gate in history. The fight also generated the largest ever Pay Per View (PPV) buys with 2.4 million.
Since the De La Hoya fight, Mayweather has been a cash cow for Golden Boy Promotions as well as HBO. Both entities bend over backwards to avoid alienating “Money” Mayweather.
It will be interesting to see how Golden Boy and Mayweather respond to Khan’s charges that the Mayweather – Pacquiao fight has not happened because Floyd is “scared” to fight Manny.
It is anticipated that some sort of response will be coming from Mayweather, who reverts to his old standby that all “Pacman” has to do is “take the test” and the fight will happen.
For the last couple of years Mayweather has made numerous insinuations that performance enhancing drugs (PEDS) are responsible for Pacquiao’s success in the ring, which includes winning championships in eight divisions. However when Manny brought a defamation lawsuit against Mayweather, Floyd did not show up at a scheduled deposition on June 17 to give evidence as to why he thinks Pacquiao is on PEDS.
In addition Floyd failed to give deposition on numerous dates offered by Pacquiao’s attorneys claiming that he was too busy preparing for his September 17 match with Victor Ortiz.
Many boxing fans, frustrated at the “Dream Match” between Mayweather and Pacquiao not taking place, think “take the test” is just another gimmick Floyd employs to avoid fighting Manny, thereby protecting his “O”.

KHAN is not the only one who arrive at the conclusion that Floyd is afraid to fight Manny.
Foreman, Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr all Hall of Famers have come to that conclusion as well.
FLOYD IS AFRAID LOSING HIS “O” CLEAN SLATE against PACQUIAO
Nick
DEFENDING MANNY PACQUIAO:
“His 3 defeats”: his first 2 defeats happened when he was a teenager. When he lost to Morales, he came back and destroyed Morales twice. In addition, Pacquiao did not have proper training early in his career like Mayweather has had all through his life.
“He gets hit alot”: that only means he can take punishment, brush it off, and come back and destroy his opponent. Pacquiao loves to get hit and bleed, it makes him to a more vicious fighter. Mayweather cannot hurt him.
“Performance Enhancing Drugs”: First, Pacquiao is a religious man and humanitarian and political figure, he will not throw that away by taking PEDs. Second, he is already a big star in boxing, why should he listen to Floyd’s demands. There is no blood test requirment in boxing. Mosley took the test because he was desperate for a big fight. Also, Mosley already tested positive for steroids prior to fighting Mayweather. Manny is not desperate because he’s the biggest attraction to boxing since Mike Tyson. Manny is also way richer than Floyd from making all that money in his country by being a singer, actor and commercials. And if Floyd thinks Manny is taking PEDs, then this shows that Floyd is intimidated by Manny’s fighting skills. By Floyd accusing Manny of taking PEDs he is in a way complimenting Manny’s skills. If Floyd believed it would be an easy fight then the fight would had happened years ago.
“60/40 Purse Split”: The Pacquiao Mayweather fight will be the richest fight in boxing. Why? Because Mayweather + Pacquiao= 3 million PPV buys. Not Mayweather= 3 million PPV buys. Mayweather cannot make a pay day like that without Pacquiao and vice-versa. Mayweather is smart by making these demands because he knows that Pacquio would reject them and thus Mayweather can keep his undefeated record.
“Catch-Weight Advantage”: People criticize the Pacquiao/De la hoya fight because of the fact Oscar drained himself and was no match for Manny that night. The fact is Oscar challenged Manny not vice-versa. Manny was never a junior middle weight but Oscar was a welter weight, so it makes sense for Oscar to go back to welter. It’s not Manny’s fault that Oscar did not hydrate himself correctly before the fight. And when it comes to other fighters losing weight to fight Manny, it is totally understandable since it is Manny who is the cash cow. So if these bigger fighters want a big payday, then they should sacrifice the weight.
“Manny fighting boxers who came out of losses”: So what! Don’t forget that Manny is a business man. He fought Hatton, Cotto, Margarito and Mosley, and made a lot of money. He should be the one they call Manny “Money” Pacquiao!

nice piece of writing bud
@Anonymous, why do you say that??
To all you illogical guys supporting Mayweather – the reason there is a debate as to who would win, is because Floyd won’t get into the ring to “settle” it.
Therefore, Floyd loses – especially his self-respect.
kken=killa!
@moonshine, ok your opinion. Explain how you came to that conclusion. ie. Examples please
Mayweather doesn’t want to fight Pacquiao, because Mayweather is slowing down, losing his edge. He is in no way the fighter he used to be.
@An Honest Pac Fan or @Questionaire, I don’t know who made the comment, LOOK HOW WELL PAC USES HIS FEINTS NOW but yeah his face FEINTS right into his opponents gloves on a constant basis!
@An Honest Pac Fan, Dude this is boxing everyone gets hit but Pac gets hit wayyyyyyyy more thatn Floyd!!!! You said that Floyd gets caught by slower fighters than Pac??? Ok, but Pac has been caught by wayyyyyyyyyy slower fighters than himself and Floyd. I mean those slow, robotic, no defense having stiffs pound his face as well as he pounds theirs. He(Pac)always battered, bruised, red and swollen!! FACT
True or not, if the fight doesnt happen, mayweather will be remembered as being afraid. Too much internet hype!
What else can i say…Yes honestly speaking,the scared and coward Floyd Jr is too scared to fight Pacman. the reasons are as follows:
1) Coward Floyd Jr doesn’t want to have “1″ lost.
2) Coward Floyd Jr doesn’t want to be humiliated and booed by the people.
3) Coward Floyd jr doesn’t want to experienced the same fate as Morales, Barrera, ODLH,Cotto and Hatton.
4) Coward Floyd jr knees are trembling when he heard Pacman’s name.
And that’s it….you still want more? Bwahahahahaha!
An Honest Pacman Fan says:
Yes he is, he got an O and pac got 3, lol.
Paquiao will always be good for sluggers like cotto, margarito, hatton. but for Boxers I don’t think so i he can’t land one on retreating mosley how much more if it’s mayweather and his counterpunches. Paquiao will be a dead man come fight night. lol There is a big difference between guarding a space and protecting yourself.

@Questionaire
Only problem is that just one of those shotgun pellets can put Mayweather to sleep.
Don’t be silly, as good as Mayweather is with his Defense, other slower fighters still managed to land on him….
Don’t make it out as if he is untouchable….
All I can say is: In Australia, in the Northern Beaches area, at least, nobody watches Mayweather fights. OZ’s love exciting fights and Floy’ds style is boring. He should join the marathon and I will sure be a fan.
A great offense always defeats a great defense. Mayweather can run but he can’t hide. Sooner or later Manny will catch him.
@Questionaire

An Honest Pacman Fan says:
It will be a battle between shotgun and sniper rifle. Paquiao needs to get closer to fire his shotgun but he will be hit by a rifle shot before he even think of firing his gun. lol

@kken
Look how gre@t pac uses his fe!nts n0w…
As good as Mayweather is with his defense..
He’s nowhere near what Pac’s got in off3nsive artill3ry…
It’s the same as Pac not being as good defensively compared to Mayweather…
Khan is speaking from his other mouth below. Floyd is the best there can ever be in boxing.
@Kamote, yeah right whatever!! Lol. @zdrx, you wish, in your dreams!
If floyd is weak, mosley should have dropped him in the 2nd and yet Pacquiao dropped Sugar in the third… right Kken? Convinced now that Pacquiao is Floyds Kryptonite? lol
kken,
so it is floyd who’s on PEDs…and trying to deflect suspicion by pointing at pacman.
@Simon, Also, what do you mean Floyds limited energy? What? Floyds conditioning is legendary. He’s never ran out of gas or known to get fatigued during a fight!! So once again where did you get this from? Making things up again!!
@Simon, his(Floyd) body is weak????? What?? How did you come up with this??? You guys just make up anything!
@Simon, are you bi-polar too simon. The other day you agreed that Ortiz was the fighter that did the retreating 90% of the fight, now you’re saying this? Floyd walked right to Ortiz and tell the truth Simon, not only did Floyd pot shot him, he was giving bombing him with lead rights and check-hooks too!! C’mon Simon you’re at it with the silliness again?
the FRAUD is the most defensive fighter because his body is weak and must protect it. he cant fight toe to toe with ortiz because he cant sustain it. he uses pot shot to conserve his limited energy, and uses his elbow to hit his opponent.
@archie, WHAT?? I never called myself an expert, you called yourself that!!! Lol!! Dude you’re bi-polar! Go back and read your own comments? Wow!! I mix it up with anyone dude, you’re nobody! Where is my man KAMOTE?? At least he will answer a question with a logical answer instead of trying to get on another topic or say crazy stuff without any thought!
khan is correct, there is no other word to describe it, CHEAP SHOT is afraid of manny. no more PED excuses. ordinary man do not understand it and many do not care about it.
@archie, dude do your have COMMON SENSE to JUST answer a question that I’ve asked about THREE or FOUR times?? Do you see Pacs face after all of his fights???? That’s your kind of defense??? A red, battered and bruised face plus a busted ear drum from the Margicheato fight?? That’s what you call defense arch, to take just as much punishment as you give?? Is that COMMON SENSE???? Lol, man I’m done with you and once again for the FIFTH time answer the question….you know what forget it, I’m done talking to a non-expert who can’t answer simple basic BOXING questions! Dueces
@kken
Come on… give cr3dit where cr3dit is due….
@kken
But c0me on “N0 D3FENSE”… r3ally? Mayb3 you n33d to consid3r that his @ll out off3nse actually @dds to his def3nse.. add to that his sp33d, his mov3m3nts…

Mayweather is def!n!tely m0re techn!cal than Pac….
But c0me on man… you make it sound like Pac got no sk!lls?
@archie, complete fighter Pac is??? With no defense?
@archie, no no dude answer the question!! I’ve asked you about 40 min ago. I’m still waiting. Like I said before what else besides Pac fans same old, but but but Pac can punch with power from all angles! Ok what else does he have in his arsenal skill wise. Should be easy to answer arch……you’re the so-called expert right?
@kken sorry im about to go out..well get back to you on that..happy blogging..
@dp, ok I wasnt talking to you but ok that’s you’re opinion about Floyd………what else does Pac have in his arsenal??? What other Skills? I’m waiting……..
Mayweather didn’t say pacquiao was on PED’s, I said it and I can prove it.
My Proof?: Pacquiao, take the test in the US.

Ortiz would knock Pacquiao clean the FK out.

hahahahaha… youre stupidity is longer than great wall of china. Ortiz was just a sparring leftover of Pacquiao, then there goes your idol Floyd whom cherrypicked Vic. The next one is Khan, another sparring partner? LOL
Pacman’s new demand to floyd: Wear gloves on your elbows.
@kken “but but but Pac has power and he throws punches from all different angles. Whatever but give me more..”
c’mon can floyd do that? the guys no power compared to manny, and he uses his elbow a lot sometimes we got to thinking thats where the gloves should be worn on his elbows..lol
Amir is a little bit slow. We all know that Floyd would never fight Manny.
@archie, Pacs boxing skills are better that Floyds? Lol?? How? No no no, answer the question. No blah blah blah, tell me what PURE BOXING skills that Pac has. I know what you’re going to say from the start…….but but but Pac has power and he throws punches from all different angles. Whatever but give me more……….I’m waiting and please dont say he has defense because he has NONE!! I’m waiting
@questionaire, you are a pisot, show it to the world now that you are being accused.lol
“TAKE THE TEST MANNY” you are being accused of taking PEDS. Take the test and show it to the world you are clean… LOL

Most people here are bakla. Arguing behind their keyboards, beating each other with words, hey are you all floyd fans? rofl
Chi_town,,,do you know floyd is a pac-man fan? when pac-man fought morales floyd is on the front seatter cheerring for pac-man!
@KKen, man, don’t even sweat Archie and the Tards. They have nothing else in their lives. After a day playing in the mud, dirt and filth, Pacquiao is all they have. When FMJ whoops his butt, AND HE WILL…the internet will be empty of all of them…
@archie, when it comes down to PURE BOXING skills, you know Pac skills don’t even compare with Floyds!! Not even close!! And you call yourself some kind of expert?? Are you serious?
pls, experts, boxers and celebrities dont favor Pacman over Floyd just for sake of this fight, you scared Floyd thats why he dont pick Pacman as his next opponent!
@archie, did they say that Pac was a better BOXER than Floyd?? And my opinion does count skippy!!! Who the hell are you?? What makes all of your OPINIONS right and everyone else’s wrong
U know what a pac-man fan is? A used to be Oscar fan, that jumped band wagons threw Hatton, Mosley, Marquez an Ortiz now there die hard pac-man fans, lead by Larry merchant, a Floyd fan is a Floyd fan always was always will be, Floyd is 42- 0 with no band wagon
Manny Pacquiao cannot beat anyone with quickness or intelligence. They must be slow…and lethargic.
JMM will give Pacquiao problems. AGAIN!!!
What can you expect from filipino experts? if there is. lol

That second knock down was FUNNY as hell, Khan was having a seizure or something with his head propped up on the ropes!! Watch it on youtube man, funny!! This Khan mofo really doesn’t want anything to do with Floyd……easy 50 mill for Floyd!

MAYWEATHER CHERRY PICKS THE LITTLE GUY AS ALWAYS
***********************
Really? and paquiao is picking bigger guys (Old, dehydrated big guys) lol
pls! Floydrats convince your king first to fight Manny and grows his eggs before you say Floyd can beat Manny, Floyd himself not sure if he can beat Manny thats why the fight not happen yet! Floyd only pick none dangerous opponent!
@Thrak, of course archie isn’t an expert nor is he a boxer!! He’s just another babbling fool who talks nonsense. @archie, all those boxers names that you called actually know the “sweet science” and I bet most if not all would say that Floyd is on another level!!
@THE HYPE IS BIGGER THAN THE FIGHT…
But isn’t it a common complain that Pac fights come forward fighters and that they are tailor made for him?
Doesn’t make sense… Pac struggles with technical boxers… I don’t see Ortiz as one….
Who is this Khan? Is he the one who was knocked out by Prescott?
Who is he to challenge the best? he went life and death with snail Maidana and now he want Floyd? I don’t get this is he drunk or something?
@THE HYPE IS BIGGER THAN THE FIGHT
I think your name is bigger than your brain, if you got one.
Mentally Floyd already lost to Manny. If they fight and Floyd lost, he will hang himself. But for Manny, if he lost he will retire and life is normal. This is the scary part of Floyd, this is why as much as possible he will make all the excuses until he retires.
If you think Pacman is on PED’s.. fine that’s your opinion. It is an indication that Pac is doing something out of this world…..
BUT PLEASE… don’t say Pac is an easy fight in the same breath…..
Makes you look foolish!!!
Manny Pacquiao…I DARE YOU TO FIGHT ORTIZ! I DARE YOU!
Ortiz would knock Pacquiao clean the FK out.
Styles make fights…
Floyd got hit with a dirty head but an then he knocked that fool out, an where is Kahn coming from with his pac-man pom poms? One minutes he began to get knocked out the next he got on a mini skirt an mascara, Floyd will get his chance to knock pac-man out then his fans will run behind somebody else
@Blackmoon
Floyd Resume looks much better. This summary really tell the story as to who is the better fighter….MBA and Erik Morales were overrated because they were old when the fought Pacman.
—————————————————–
Blackmoon
Mayweather’s resume:
Ortiz (W Berto) Dela Hoya (W Mayorga) Mosley (W Margarito) Hatton (W Castillo) Marquez (W Juan Diaz) Baldomir (W Gatti, Judah) Gatti (W Dorin) Castillo (W Stevie Johnson) Corales (W Manfredy, Gainer)
Pacquiao Resume:
Dela Hoya (W Forbes L Mayweather) Mosley (Draw Mora, L Mayweather) Clottey (L Cotto) Cotto (W Clottey L Margarito) Margarito (L Mosley)
Hatton (W Malignaggi L Maweather) Marquez (W Gainer 2nd time W Juraez) Morales (L Barrera, L Raheem) Barrera (W Hamed)
Even if pac still trains in da philipinnes, pac is going to be at wild card for a month before the fight,isnt a month of testing good enough? Mosley, a known ped user, was cuttoff 18 days before the fight. It doesnt add up on mayweather’s end.
Pacquiao stands NO chance of beating Mayweather….NONE!
khan is right Floyd is dead scared to fight Manny!
Ok, if mayweather is using “take the test” as a ploy, why don’t pacquiao just agree to do it here in the states so he can beat mayweather? Khan is like David Haye, the great British floor mop. Khan fight Prescott again if u ain’t scared. or even Oritz… Let’s see how good u are.
5. This means that for the fight to be made, they will need to appoint a WADA Accred!ted agency just like USADA is, to do the testing while Pac is in the Phils
4. Arum mentioning WADA is of the fact that WADA is the organization that USADA follows standards from. WADA doesn’t actually do the testing themselves
3. USADA can only do their testing while Pac is in U.S.A
Let’s clear this out:
1. Pac’s team has agreed to testing
2. The argument left is who does the testing
@ mma
Ufc has turned into alot of dryhumping and winning from just takedowns. Yeah there are alot if a $ $ whoopings but not alot of good “fights”. Bad punches wit weaker chins! Mma is good but not epic like boxing.
pac n floyd are both gurls they are riding yo @ssses to the cleaners.all you boxing nerds are getting played …. its wwe all the way in mma ufc is all about hunger and straight up fighting hahahahah clowns
@archie
are you a boxer?
@archie
boxing is not just for boxers… millions of ppv subscribers are not boxers and you don’t have to be boxer to know boxing…
kamotie is superpactard!
Floyd can’t sell his fight. No PPV result yet, sign of weak numbers.
If mayweather really wants to clean the sport(Ooops! forget about cheap shots) he must force the COMMISSION to use the Olympic Style Random blood testing not just for his own fight but for all. Or, since he got lots of money… why not finance a study or laboratory that will proves that there is a drug that can’t be detected by the current drug testing style. Hmmm… maybe he knew that drug already that is why he insist it?
@Kamote, what’s going on man?? I come on the site for the first time today and you’re going at it with someone. Don’t hurt them Kamote! Lol
Not scared.. Terrified!
mayweather knew that mosley used steroid but he still fought him. Do you think mayweather really scared of steroid man?
Where is the boxing comission step in and mandate that mayweather either fights pacquia or turn over his belt. This is not the mayweather comission the –last i knew. If the boxing comission is mandating chavez to fight martinez know later than 2012 why the hell hasnt the boxing comission ordered yellow weather to fight pacquia know later than 2011.. Considering the excuses that floydd has made regarding pacquia back in 2010 and the accusations, there is know facts to support a claim of steroid use. Its time that the comission step up and do unto mayweather as they mandated chavez to fight martinez period ……………
Sweet potato translates to “kamote” in Tagalog, the Philippine National Language. Kamote is also a derogatory name you call someone who is not sharp in the head.
packman?
@kamote: Is that all you can give!? sorry “A” pinoy who don’t have a clue about the sweet science! Hey, franklio called you out and i see you haven’t responded back to him…now, that was pretty funny what he said to you! I think he hurt your feelings!
@kamote: do me a favor since you’re bored, watch packman vs. torrecampo on youtube! you’ll be laughing at the commentors!
Floyd, instead of using Xylocain for your hands, try Viagra next time.. maybe youll get away with it.. LMAO
Black boxers are the best blacks rule
To all Floyd fans, the only line of defense you got is TAKE THE TEST. Why don’t you look around you. Floyd get booed in his homeland. Casual fans yelling on him fight Manny. People around the globe are not stupid not to see that all Floyd demands are excuses to avoid fighting Manny. And to be fully blinded with take the test is just pure ignorant and stupid.
kaMOTE you are a wind-up merchant
Mayweather loaded about 20oz of Xylocain on each hand for the cheap shot against Ortiz. Well, in fairness he didnt use XYLO against his wife and security guard LMAO
kamotie is just a pac cheerleader. he is not a real boxing fan.
Manny often fight boxers that are in their weak time or come of defeat. now maquez that he is still trying win for the 3rd time. A boxer FMM dominated completely. Manny chose to fight him because Marquez cant completely dominate manny when he was fast and younger, How can marquez do now that he is older slow. all odds are on Marquez. What a boring fight. Manny is waste of time. Mark it. history will catch him with his drug cheating habit.
Poor Floyd fans. They really think he wants to fight Manny. So sad!
@kamote: hey potato, the truth hurts about manny, huh! bwahahaha!
Mayweather’s resume:
Ortiz (W Berto) Dela Hoya (W Mayorga) Mosley (W Margarito) Hatton (W Castillo) Marquez (W Juan Diaz) Baldomir (W Gatti, Judah) Gatti (W Dorin) Castillo (W Stevie Johnson) Corales (W Manfredy, Gainer)
Pacquiao Resume:
Dela Hoya (W Forbes L Mayweather) Mosley (Draw Mora, L Mayweather) Clottey (L Cotto) Cotto (W Clottey L Margarito) Margarito (L Mosley)
Hatton (W Malignaggi L Maweather) Marquez (W Gainer 2nd time W Juraez) Morales (L Barrera, L Raheem) Barrera (W Hamed)
@Kamote: packman would get embarrased and humiliated by fighter who would just be coming off a big win..I don’t ever recall packman ever fighting one..I think it’s fair to say that most of his belts are illegitimate! So get off his bandwagon and get on Andre Ward’s! By doing so, you can consider yourself a true fan of the sport!
Manny is half brain dead with all the beatings he’s taken in his boxing career as well as a 3rd grade education..How do you really expect him to be a real politician who can actually make his own decisions to make philippines a better place to live?!

The thing that connects Pacquiao and Mayweather is boxing. The only difference is, Pacquiao can do more after boxing life is over and Mayweather future is a questionable one cause he knows nothing aside from boxing. Floyd probably tried a lot of other things but nothing really suits him other than gambling.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Mayweathers future is in Nevada County Jail, He can count his money all he wants in prison.
Mayweather would be on his butt after six with the same stupid look Tyson had on his face. Manny is at another level that Mayweather will never approach.

No doubt Khan heard it inside GBP workers themselves. People working there just can´t say anything outside GBP, they are kept to secrecy, cause Floyd can still bring a lot of money for them. We know Khan by now, he is ambitious, talented boxing newcomer who feels, he´s nobodys trash.
Manny and Roaches wished they had spotted some weaknesses in Floyd. Deep down they that it would be Pacman last fight if and when he faces Floyd.
Pinoys should all gather and thank God Manny hasn’t accepted a fight with Floyd because if he had, he would be retired from the beating and humiliation that losing bad to Floyd would cost him.
manny is not nor will ever be in floyds league.hate him or lve him has nothing to do with it.the mans skills and natural ability and dedication put him in a leauge of his own.manny is a great fighter.floyd is a phenomonum.the end.
I don’t need to fight twice a year! Bob Arum does not keep all my money any more! I am the worlds best paid athlete! I think I’ll go on a vacation now! See you tards in 18 months when I need the cash….
The blueprint of beating Floyd is easy. Let him fight twice a year LOL
..I beat ALL fighters and make it look easy! Pacquiao beats stand still no defense punching bags like Clottey and looks like the looser afterward. All people can say is “Floyd is a coward” or “He is scared” because they have no answer how to beat me! There is NO BLUEPRINT on how to beat me! It will never be done!
I am the greatest fighter ever!
.. I am not one of those human statues that Pac fights, I’m Pretty Boy Floyd! I am not one of those paid to loose , signed with Top Rank fighters.
Come get some of this!
Pro Floyd always say Floyd beats Pacquiao easily this and that… blah blah blah. They don’t even realize Floyd himself knows he can’t beat the Pacman. Like I said before RBT demand is a cowarly act. And now since Manny has already agreed to it, Floyd doesnt want him to train in his own country? LOL
Never ending excuse.. how G A Y
my son manny dont patronize drugs because he knows how bad it will affect your health. just like my friend floyd sr. saying about his son. if you take my opinion i would suggest that floyd take his drug test before any interview or broadcast that he is great and he wants my son Mannny. Drugs makes PBF so coward. that’s where people go when they are afraid.
According to Pacman fans Floyd is scare of every fighter out there. Including his own shadow….
I guess Froyd is afraid of Khan, Manny, Cotto, Mosley, Oscar, Martinez…Hey why not…these fools seem to know the man better than the man knows himself…Manny is not even in Floyd head….Floyd is a prize fghter and the PPV king…
Manny is merely a hype job and I guess he is king the the cheap tickets live gate…..
So Manny sold 50k tickets at Cowboy stadium…but I heard most of the tickets were $20 a pair with a freebie…
@polo
Yes, a bunch of back and forth between camps! Another wait and see! Until all the boxing fans actually see Bob Arum, Richard Schaffer, & Leonard Ellerbe all together, broadcast live on television, annnouncing that the fight between Pac and May is official, all we can do is speculate, come up with our own conclusions, all opinion based with only the facts that are available.
maybe hair sample is better idea. my son will give hair samples whever they wanted. but the problem is that Floyd always in clean cut. i wonder that his dad can give hair from his nose to see whose on drugs.
@floyds on roids….. Arum wanted wada to do it. The agency wada said would do it in the u.s.a. Would be usada. Arum then came out a few weeks ago saying wada would do testing. They would have who ever represents them in the phillipines do testing there while manny is in his home country then when manny comes to the states wada would have usada do testing. That it was no issue. Floyds camp comes out and sais manny is refusing to do testing. People said they are lieing. Two weeks ago ariza makes video statement on manny official internet sight that they will not do any f…ing tests to fight floyd. Like i said he doesnt want to do tests cool but stop coming out and saying u will do tests then for the third time edmit u are lieing its stupid.
@polo
Everyone wants Manny to take Floyd’s test! The tests should be on neutral grounds and Floyd should agree to it! A neutral body should perform the tests, and that neutral body should have no affiliation with either fighter.
Baby Floyd should avoid Pacman…a loss to Pacman will cause depression…50 cents will also be affected.
@floyds on roids. Its not about the state its about the type of testing. The ones emplemented dont detect hgh. And all other types of thing people can do to increase stamina and strength. Its his body his life and his millions on the line. Nothing wrong with manny not wanting to take the tests but stop coming out and telling everyone u will take the tests then turn around and say u wont take the tests as has been said on his own sight two weeks ago. But floyds the lier.
Why does boxingnews24 allow PAC fans to write essay,but block Mayweather fans from using certain words?
If Floyd Mayweather Jr. doesn’t trust the Nevada State Athletic Commissions drug & blood testing protocol, there’s 49 other states, and 49 state athletic commissions in the U.S., not to mention 196 countries around the world! A potential Pac/May showdown doesn’t have to be confined to the state of Nevada!
ariza already came out and said they are not doing any tests two weeks ago so. Its the same old story. No fight without tests. So time to let it go. But khan realy needs to stop talking about floyd every day. People might start wondering about him.
Bam Bam Rios i meant…not the dude below…
does khan have a secret man crush on floyd. He doesnt go by one day wthout mentioning that guy. Get off his nuts and let them breath. Why not spend your time promoting ur fight. Most people probably dont even know he has a fight coming up.
@r.dunn
You are right. Bob Arum does not want Manny fighting Floyd. The Usada excuse is weak. Why would Manny not trust the Usada, but yet he fully trusts the NSAC? lol Team Pacquiao is feeding everyone B.S. And apparently, many people out there like the taste.
Floyd Mayweather is not under the “auspices” of Golden Boy Promotions.
Haaaaa, Bam Bam definitely DOES…or HAS many times..read his articlein latest ring magazine….But he’s the man so KEEP A’ SHMOKIN taht like the 80′s Bam Bam!!! Knock’m all out after!
Bam Bam definitely smokes crack

Where have you been? That’s a good comment. Best I’ve ever read so far besides McJacks articles.
Khan and Manny are the only two boxers today that can beat Mayweather ful stop……
Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacqioa won’t even be close. NOT AT ALL!!!
Floyd will beat Pacquiao as easily as he did Ortiz. Regardless of the way the Ortiz fight ended, Ortiz was getting KO’d within the next 2 rounds anyway, because of the way he was getting hit and dominated.
2″ in height, and 5″ in reach is HUGE!
Yes Khan, you will be next to get $3-$5 Mil and a butt whoopin from FMJ.
THEN IT WILL BE PACQUIAO’S TURN…
@ the writer McJack…..
Good article.
Arum is the real scared one milking Pacman during his prime. Floyd will win. better complete figher …Hate it or love it
Khan is trying to be relevant, using Mayweather’s name. He just doesn’t want to put the work in to prove himself first, before he fights Floyd. I am not impressed with Khan last few wins. Yes he needs to avenge his loss and his near loss to Maidana. Hell, he should even rematch with Judah. That blow looked low to me. Khan just wants his payday and wants out of boxing. I wish he would just get out now.
@Nick
Like it or not, @white rice is right. Manny doesn’t like blood, and he has a sorted past. Using his religious conviction or political standing are NOT reasons to support Manny not using PED’s.
That said, I don’t believe he has or does use PED’s. The whole charade if you trace its origins began with Floyd. Since then Manny has made several versions of a negotiation, including most recently agreeing to “everything”, and still Floyd cries foul.
It’s definitely on Floyd now, from where I see it. Manny has to beat JMM in November, and then we will see what these two men are made of.

@NICK: My last post was actually intended for you and not for Ex naz fan!
silvercat… i gave it 2 ur mum good n proper last nite, she also had a big mouth to fit this dik
@ EX NAZ FAN: Stop wasting your time and energy and start becoming more of a productive person in life! Your family, Manny, Freddie, Bob, Trevor, Michael Koncz and Bobby Pacquiao would all trully appreciate that!
Why would khan need to fight Maidana again? he beat him fair and square. get over it! as for Prescot, he needs to earn the shot, not get it automatically because he won before! seriously get over all this rubbish from the past and look at the future! too many fighters are screaming rematch these days – NO ONE WANTS THE SAME FIGHTERS IN THE RING EVERY 6 MONTHS!
Oh and whilst on this thread, relating to the actual subject, mayweather needs to man up!
@amir khan……why would mayweather be scared of you, or manny? pacquiao, whos on power pellets and scared to be tested,and CON MAN nobody knows you , and you have no fan base in the states.a guy whos scared to fight prescott, when this guy smacked you retarted, in the 1st rd. hey khan you terriost fight prescott, because mayweather would beat you like you blew up a the world trade building!!!!
khan and alvarez are the future of boxing right now no one beats mayweather not manny not khan
There are undiniable facts, Floyd is the fighter to beat. He renains unbeated, and has never been knocked down. He has the best boxing style ever and nobody will beat him until he is over 40
Khan is now possessed by Floyd. Floyd is on Khan’s mouth day-in, day-out. Khan thinks this is a good stratergy to infuriate Floyd into a fight with him. Let us wait and see.
His “0″ is important to him but I think he is more afraid of getting “knocked out!!!” Imagine what you that do to his fraud image. I think he kills himself if he gets knocked out!!
No need to fear Manny. Floyd wouldn’t lose to Manny on his worst day.
It’s Manny who fears Floyd.
Manny answered in Manny interviews about fighting Floyd is…”I don’t need Floyd”. He doesn’t need a whooping …that’s for sure..
RIP Steve Jobs….The have a tech guy in the after life….
Yes and Khans frighten of fighting Prescott OR Maidana again.
Floyds problem is his precious “0″ loss is more important than what fans wanted to see… “to fight Pacman”. Floyds is a defensive genius, not only inside the ring but outside to. He knows how to dodge punches as well as fighters that are threat to him.
@ Silvercat
Sounds to me like you’re talking about yourself. get a life.
Manny is the Ben Johnston of boxing.
DEFENDING MANNY PACQUIAO:
“His 3 defeats”: his first 2 defeats happened when he was a teenager. When he lost to Morales, he came back and destroyed Morales twice. In addition, Pacquiao did not have proper training early in his career like Mayweather has had all through his life.
“He gets hit alot”: that only means he can take punishment, brush it off, and come back and destroy his opponent. Pacquiao loves to get hit and bleed, it makes him to a more vicious fighter. Mayweather cannot hurt him.
“Performance Enhancing Drugs”: First, Pacquiao is a religious man and humanitarian and political figure, he will not throw that away by taking PEDs. Second, he is already a big star in boxing, why should he listen to Floyd’s demands. There is no blood test requirment in boxing. Mosley took the test because he was desperate for a big fight. Also, Mosley already tested positive for steroids prior to fighting Mayweather. Manny is not desperate because he’s the biggest attraction to boxing since Mike Tyson. Manny is also way richer than Floyd from making all that money in his country by being a singer, actor and commercials. And if Floyd thinks Manny is taking PEDs, then this shows that Floyd is intimidated by Manny’s fighting skills. By Floyd accusing Manny of taking PEDs he is in a way complimenting Manny’s skills. If Floyd believed it would be an easy fight then the fight would had happened years ago.
“60/40 Purse Split”: The Pacquiao Mayweather fight will be the richest fight in boxing. Why? Because Mayweather + Pacquiao= 3 million PPV buys. Not Mayweather= 3 million PPV buys. Mayweather cannot make a pay day like that without Pacquiao and vice-versa. Mayweather is smart by making these demands because he knows that Pacquio would reject them and thus Mayweather can keep his undefeated record.
“Catch-Weight Advantage”: People criticize the Pacquiao/De la hoya fight because of the fact Oscar drained himself and was no match for Manny that night. The fact is Oscar challenged Manny not vice-versa. Manny was never a junior middle weight but Oscar was a welter weight, so it makes sense for Oscar to go back to welter. It’s not Manny’s fault that Oscar did not hydrate himself correctly before the fight. And when it comes to other fighters losing weight to fight Manny, it is totally understandable since it is Manny who is the cash cow. So if these bigger fighters want a big payday, then they should sacrifice the weight.
“Manny fighting boxers who came out of losses”: So what! Don’t forget that Manny is a business man. He fought Hatton, Cotto, Margarito and Mosley, and made a lot of money. He should be the one they call Manny “Money” Pacquiao!
If by Floyd, Khan means Floyd SR – YES! Ding, Ding, Ding.
Go read yall’s history. After Paquiao destroyed Hatton and then Cotto, Floyd Mayweather JR asked Floyd Mayweather SR whether they should fight Pacquiao.
That is precisely where Mayweather Sr said, Hell no – he’s on something. No proof, just purely on emotion. In the hood, that’s what you call an excuse. It’s also what you call scared.
Floyd JR was never scared. And ever since they took that position, its been a silly little PR game of which, 90% of you buy into. Don’t worry about no testing, the NSAC already does that. Sign the contract.
