Bob Arum and Manny Pacquiao wriggle out of it, but not without scars
January 19th, 2012
By Babatis Banda: The announcement by Bob Arum, that Manny will not be fighting Floyd Mayweather this coming May, came not as a surprise, but a confirmation of what it has been like to deal with Arum the past two years. It is good though, that the events of the past few weeks have opened the eyes of the world on this issue.
In my opinion, Floyd must move on, take on real challenge in Martinez or even Soul Alvarez while Arum puts Pacquiao in with his own fighters once again. I am beginning to think that some of these in-house fights may actually be fixed. Nature has its own way of balancing things. Arum is slowly, but surely building a web which is already creeping up on him. Manny Pacquiao may be sincere in his dealings, but he has allowed himself to be soiled and has lost face already.
While Floyd may have erred to book the MGM in advance, I feel Arum and Pacquiao should have allowed this fight to take place, and then have ample time to build an arena for a re-match. Both ways, Arum would still have satisfied his insatiable appetite for money, while keeping his ego just as high. Now that this is all water under the bridge, those of us who love the sport will wait, God willing, to watch the fight happen November 2012 or indeed 2013. The result will still be the same, even with this delay, no doubt.
As usual, even when it is blatantly clear that Floyd has had nothing to do with the collapse of this fight yet again, sadists and haters will still hunt for something to say, just to put Manny and Arum off the hook and that is expected, especially from his fanatical fan base. The real winner here is certainly not Manny but Arum. He is going to cash-in both sides in Manny’s next fight just like he always does, make the most money and probably later allow a Floyd versus Manny fight to end it in style. Such greed at the expense of everybody else is not just annoying, but repulsive and inhumane.
Time is the greatest teacher, and time will come when all these injustices against the real loving fans of the sport is avenged. For the fanatics, this is yet another opportunity to defend and support these wicked and embarrassing acts of cowardice and double standards. Whatever happens next, this is just a delay, the inevitable is bound to happen sooner or later.
Arum and Manny Pacquiao have wriggled their way out of a fight with Floyd yet again, but not without some scars. People are seeing and people are judging and the truth is as clear as it can ever be. For sure, many more people now agree that Manny is running.

Thank God i don’t pay for fights anymore.
I feel sorry for all the Floydiots here!!!!!Maytweeter said Pacquiao is one dimensional fighter then why ask for RBT.
Maytweeter said I am the p4p king but he only fight Mosley (38 yrs.)Marquez (38 yrs old) and Ortiz (Cheap shot) for the expand of 3 yrs.
Now, let see who is his next opponent and how much money it will generate!!!!!!!
Maytweeter now calling Pacquiao for a fight on May 5. He`s begging Manny to fight him! hahahaha!!!!!he is not a PPV king anymore Pacquiao is.
I think Pacman will retire next year.His fight against Cotto or Bradley will be the last one or perhaps until November 2012.But for sure,Pacman will not fight the scared and coward Floyd Jr anymore.Pacman doesn’t need coward Flyd Jr but coward Floyd Jr needs Pacman very much bcoz of money.Pacman said, who cares anyway…if only you’re good and respect me,i would probably give you a chance but sorry.lol
Pac-Kill R U a child? U talk about MP like he is u’r God. This is boxing not church. MP is a man & like all men can be beaten. As U saw in the Marquez fight. U may not like FMJ but U gotta admit he has never been so utterly broken down N A fight. Nothing wrong w/ being a fan but U R a fanatic and its kinda creepy.
lmao, Floyd called Pac on the phone.
bahahahahah.
So much for yet another Pactard excuse. ‘Oh noes, Floyd does sh1t over twitter.’
Funny how it’s FLOYD who’s doing the calling because the Coward Congressman is in hiding.
Filipinos = a Coward Race.
PAC-MAN IS THE WARRIOR; FRAUD FLOYD IS THE COWARD.
IF I WERE BOB ARUM (FORMER LAWYER), I WOULDN’T BOTHER TALKING TO THE JUDGE BECAUSE SCHAEFER, ELLERBE, OSCAR AND FLOYD ARE ALL BUNCH OF LIARS.
The judge asked the Fraud Floyd and his lawyers for a COPY OF THE CONTRACT WITH MANNY PACQUIAO, BUT HAVE HAVE NO CONTRACT WHATSOVER. SO, THEY WERE BEGGING BOB ARUM FOR HELP BY ASKING THE JUDGE TO POSTPONE THE FRAUD’S JAIL DATE.
If the judge extends Fraud’s jail date to July, will he come up with new excuses? You bet, he will.
The Fraud Floyd LIED to the judge that his opponent for May 5 is Manny Pacquiao, so the judge delayed his jail date. Yesterday, the judged wanted a copy and the Fraud and his lawyers were begging Bob Arum to talk to the judge.
Same people, same lies.
@ anti hater Phaser
You are a pillock. No fight was set up for May 5th for Marquez or anyone else. You and your Fraud Maynever idiot fans keep dreaming cos ” You can not handle the Truth ” that Maynever does not want to fight Pacquiao.
Now see that your idol is lying and stop blindly believing him. He lies to fool you and make money. Wake up, buddy.
Deg1180
Let me know write you the quote because you might not be good at searching:
“Contrary to some reports, a member of Team Mayweather advised Boxing S.C.E.N.E that Floyd’s comments about Martinez were in reference to a “fight down the line” and not for Mayweather’s already scheduled return date of May 5 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
I agree, i will not buy boxing its not fun anymore is not like it was back in the days, the Federal Boxing Commision should do something to bring the real boxing back.
Deg1180
Boxing S.C.E.N.E. C.O.M.
Ellerbe now says the fight has been promoted for 2 years and it should go forward on May 5.
This is after he and Mayweather said you need to properly promote a fight of that magnitude this summer. These fools are all talking out their ears, nose, butt… whatever.
Just come straight and say it. You were waiting for Pacquiao to slip…. 6 fights later…. now you’re desperate.

I dont get @Jeff41, if Floyd fights Sergio in 6 weeks time Floyd is weak and making Sergio drain weight? Even though it was Sergio who said he will do 150 to fight Floyd or Manny? Now @Jeff41 says that FLoyd and his camp dont want to fight Sergio but he can prove his source?? Ok….. This guys tells more jokes than Kevin Hart Alright Alright Alright! LOL

Just see the recent developments. Floyd said today he’d fight Martinez on May 5. He knows Martinez fights in late March and can’t fight again in six weeks time. Then his adviser retracted the statement, saying we don’t want to fight him now, but might do in future.
Can you share that link becasue I’ve looked a couple of places and I have yet to see Floyd or his camp say they wont
Martinez is the one thats stupid hes walking around at about 168 an has
to come down to 150 to fight Floyd …he doing this to him self
May 5 is one of is the biggest day$ for a boxing event. Manny was going to fight Marquez on that date but he cant fight Floyd? Arum can control the white media so Floyd brought it to the social network and now the PACTARDS have scattered like roaches. Professional excuse makers equal Die hard Manny fans. You keep believing that devil Arum and you will die a fool.

@ Blackbert
Too bad Mayweather is trying to weight drain Martinez by 10 lbs and gets to add 3 lbs. Thats not fair is it?
pacquiao take the drug test coward
the pactards are hurting lol. its very few left after marquez loss,t hey been quiet lol
pacquiao is pu-c and is done, coward!
Bob Arum thinks he is BOXING, without us the fans the fighters wont fight
so its easy to get the fight we want DONT BUY NO TOP RANK FIGHTS ON
PPV, ( I will never let him rob me like he do pacman ) BOYCOTT HIS PPV
FIGHTS BY THAT THIRD ONE HIS WILL WAKE UP
Pacnuts, wake up! Congressman Duling is scared. LOL.
I wanted to see the fight. And everyone can choose side and say this or that, but the truth is neither fighters or promoters have ever wanted a fight, Just making publicity stunts and dodging real questions. Mayweather did it for a long time and now manny is doing it now. Someone in the boxing world needs to make them fight. I really didn’t like Don King, but he would have already made this fight. We need someone to make it and that i know we agree.
jonnyl says:
@Jeff41 dibella has said that he would give macklin step aside money to make the mayweather fight.
…………….
Yes, but after dibella said so, Mayweather retracted the statement, saying the offer wasn’t for May 5. Sometime in future. I amazed how people still are fooled by this liar.
@pac-kill… u should give pacman sum motivation..call mrs.pacman and ask if u could blow him off to fight …pactard lol
pac-kill, you sound like the ultimate pactard!
Floyd will fight a TOP fighter such as Martinez.
Fake-iou will fight a TOP RANK fighter.
Nothing new here folks. You pactards have been fooled for like 5 years! Wake up pactards! Wake tfu please.. Does any one really want to see Fake-iou beat up Top Rank bums like Cotto or Margo any more? Nope….
We know they already have the contacted Headbutt Bradley! What has he done to be able to fight Fake-iou?
TO HELL WITH BOXING!!!!
Blackbert Spot on
May 5th Sells its self. There is no need for a dam Stadium, pacman has been banging on for 2 years how he will do anything to make the fight happen. Here we are and he bottles it
To the Mayhaters, Pactards, and Arum nuthugers: Floyd has never let his fans down, and I promise you he will not this time. Martinez once said that he’d fight Pacquiao or Mayweather at 150lb. If Martinez maintains that position, he will be Mayweather’s next opponent. Magic man Arum magically won’t need to build a stadiun for Pacquiao’s next bout because not many people are going to buy it, one way or the other. The real $$ are made through PPV buys, and the best way to maximize that is to run ads for the fight during the “Super Bowl,” with a 10 second clip of Pacquiao claiming he’s the best and showing his one punch stoppage of Ricky Hatton, followed by Mayweather claiming he’s the best, then showing his one punch check-hook stoppage of Ricky Hatton. “Who”s Really The Best!! Two Legends! One Era! The Wait is Over!!! May 5th Is The Date. Pacquiao vs Mayweather A Legend Will Be Born!!!” Not enough to promote the fight is the most bogus claim of all. And if you’re a Pacquiao fan, pray that he doesn’t fight Bradley next, especially if Bradley asks for ped testing.
So now that we know that pacquio and mayweather are not fighting each other, who is a good match up for them?
Now i am a Neutral fan and from what i have seen Pacman is just afraid and is Money Hungry. Lets go back a few months when pacman stated he would fight Mayweather anytime anywhere, that including his jail cell. The Marquez fight has made pacman feel human again, when he was fighting all those other picked fighters it built his confidence up and made him feel unbeatable. Now Marquez is not at the skill level Mayweather is, but he picked pacman apart and any real boxing fan knows who won that fight. Reality is pacman realises now he wasnt that good in the first place, he knows if Arum puts him in with a couple more Top Rank fighters he can continue to make cash and retire on top. A Mayweather fight and his world will come tumbling down, the difference is 2 years ago Mayweather was the quiet one, now its pacman who is not saying anything and backing dwn. Pacquiao realises by the time he fights, Mayweather spends 3 months in jail, he is not getting any younger and his skills will diminish. November time Mayweather is nearing the 36 mark and i can guarntee pacman will start to make noise.
manny is bob arums b****. i lost alot of respect for manny for letting bob arum boss him around like his puppy dog.
@Jeff41 dibella has said that he would give macklin step aside money to make the mayweather fight
i will never pay for a manny fight again
If manny wasn’t filipino, do you think we would be talking about him now? probably not, because bob arum knew he could make a killing from the filipino audience abroad with the ppv! thats why manny only fights washed up or has been fighters! think about it, everyone!
Its gonna be interesting to see Pacman in public for his press conferences when reporters ask him about WHY HE DECIDED NOT TO FIGHT MAYWEATHER.
Just see the recent developments. Floyd said today he’d fight Martinez on May 5. He knows Martinez fights in late March and can’t fight again in six weeks time. Then his adviser retracted the statement, saying we don’t want to fight him now, but might do in future.
@DEG1180
I don’t hate Floyd. I think he’s a great boxer with great skills. But I believe he’s avoided Manny since he destroyed Hatton in round 2 and de la hoya. Now, he isn’t serious about Manny fight either, just lying to fool his fans.
Yeah Martinez cant draw a PPV crowd! In his last venue Martinez drew a crowd of 500 people! And, they all worked there!
Pactards are critisizing Floyd for fighting Martinez in a catch-weight of 150(that Martinez demanded) . but lets not forget Pacquiao wanted Martinez to come down to 147,hahahaha!(remember pacquaio demanded this weight) to fight him. when he actually knows that Martinez at his age can’t lose too much weight or else he will starve to dead.is just impossible!
@deg
I agree these guys look @the paquiao as a hero and not a boxer.
Man I cant read this anymore. Its a sport people. @Jeff41 lying every chance he gets because he dont like Floyd. Ppl talking about war, race etc…. Man this is worst than Bloods and Crips! Its a boxing match between 2 ppl nobody on heres prob knows! Stick to the point and leave the personal stuff out of it
Why didn’t boxing news submit my last comment bs
Mayweather = the man who didnt fight Pacquiao
Pacquiao = the man that didnt fight Mayweather.

Lets get one thing straight here, If Manny and Arum walked up to Floyd and agreed to May 5th at MGM, you REALLY think Mayweather would agree?? You know he come up with some other demand! there both as bad as each other, meaning Mayweather and Arum.
Ok Danny, have Bob to go up to Richard and say May 5th its on and lets see what Floyd does……….. Oh we cant becasue Arum already said no….. Stop!
Pac will lose to Floyd
@money,
You said, “pactards…lmfao” That’s all you’ve got?
Fraud floydards were born with half brain. imfao…
this babatis banda sound like a real ma chod
I too believe that the Clottey and the Mosley fights were fixed!!! And for those who think Manny beat Marquez 3 times answer this question: Why is a 4th fight being talked about if there was no controversy behind those so-called wins? Team Pac knows he loss that last fight and they don’t wanna risk him fighting Marquez again. I predict a Cotto or Peterson fight because both are fights Manny has an advantage in. If a Bradley fight is made that would be Arum’s way of cashing in on Manny cause Bradley would beat Pac. Let’s see if Im right.
floyd has been running and running for over two years…
Enough? NO, he will keep running from Pac into retirement.
pactards…lmfao

pac keeps on runnin runnin runnin in to the future
@Foreal,
Pacquiao gave the crying marquez THREE chances, but all failed. Pacquiao beat him TWICE fair and square, and tied one.
Marquez should be thankful to Manny for giving him the three opportunities to make millions of dollars. Without Manny’s courtesy, marquez is still the poor marquez living under-poverty in Mexico.
@foreal,
At war (fight), you don’t listen to your enemy. You want to kill your enemy (floyd) without following his demands. Get it?
I saw the third match. It was close but Manny won fair and square. Three judges thought the same. Your opinion doesn’t count.
@ Jeff41
Hahaaaa……we know what happened in the Marquez Vs Manny 111. you need not ellaborate. You should have seen it on Manny’s face, or his wife after the fight.
Just read packill’s blogs definition of a pactard at least the rest of the Pactards went into hiding and admit what we all said mannys overrated fighter. But Pactards take that as being a mayweather fan.

hahah, and the breaking news is that Floyd’s adviser says he won’t fight Martinez next, and Floyd meant in the long run. Says Floyd’s statement was misinterpreted. Can’t believe this liar.
@Pac-Kill
You are right, if Arum allows Packman to fight Floyd, he will surely die. For the first time, you have reasoned!
Manny beat Marquez twice and knocked him down four times. Get over it.
@ Pac Kill
What are you talking about? This shows what a dead brain you have. This has happened for ages, the MGM has held the biggest and the most prestigious fights from time to time.
@Anonymous,
If you allow your son to do exactly what your son’s enemy wants him to do, your son will be dead. Be smart, my friend!
Arum will feed rubbish to Manny next so that he gains his confidence after the Marquez beating.
@Anonymous,
Will you let your son fight with his enemy on the DAY his enemy wants to fight?
Will you let your son fight with his enemy on the LOCATION demanded by your son’s enemy?
If you answer yes, I feel so sorry for you.
Anyone that watches another pacfraud fight is against boxing.
@Anonymous,
You know and we know you are one of floid’s biggest followers and servants. How’s that.
There is one fact, you can not reason with an idiot, especially a Packfan.
Pacman wont knock Floyd out, look at the Marquez fight, he got beat, and he didnt have any illegal substances in his body for that fight and it showed, Floyd will walk all over Pacman if he takes the test and Arum knows it, I am not a supporter of either fighter but Floyd is hands down the best fighter around. Pacman seems to be genuinely afraid
AGAIN, TIME and LOCATION are a part of the negotiation process. Doing so without the other party’s knowledge is a FRAUD and FAKE. Anyway, floyd has NO intention whatsoever to fight Manny with fists, just with his mouth.
PAC-Kill & Jeff41
Are the two biggest knucleheads on this blog. If you believe Arum, its because you chose to be in the dark. Whatever happened to Manny saying that he fights for his fans and not for money. Manny is a robot and does what he’s told. Arum didn’t expose Mayweather because the way to do that would have been to call his bluff for May 5th with Arum did not. Arum and Pacquaio have been exposed as fruads and trust me the boxing experts will hold this against Manny bacause this fight did not happen.
WHENEVER I MAKE A STRONG POINT TO ANSWER THIS WRITER’S ARTICLE, HE AUTOMATICALLY DELETES IT. COMMON, YOU HAVE THE GUT TO WRITE WHILE WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO WEAKEN YOUR FAKE POINTS. STOP DELETING MY WINNING ARGUMENTS.
PACQUIOA TORTURES AND LECTURES ANYBODY THEY PUT IN FRONT OF HIM.
Pacquioa is the Lion King. Anybody that messes with the Lion King will face bad consequences.
Both side are playing games. Floyd with the judge said I can’t fight on any other date and Arum contraditing himself
@Jeff41,
My friend, you are right! I absolutely agree with you by saying, “Manny would never knock Floyd because Floyd will never enter the ring with Manny.”
Right, Manny beats his opponents up inside the ring only; not like the fraud floyd where he beats his ex in front of his three children, and now is going to jail.
RESERVED THE MGM FOR MAY 5 WITHOUT PRIOR NEGOTIATION WITH PACQUIAO AND ARUM IS…..VERY DISHONEST.
TO FIGHT THE “LITTLE FELLA”? WHO IS THAT LITTLE FELLA? MAYBE THIS WRITER.
THAT’S HOW DISHONEST AND UNCLEAR THE FAKE AND FRAUD FLOYD IS.
FLOID IS A LIAR. EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS UNTRUE. MAYBE SOME OF YOU FLOID’S FOLLOWERS DON’T HIM WELL, BUT TIME WILL TELL.

truthbetold says:
pacquio pu-c. im glad floyd is showing interst in fighting martinez.. pac was scared to even fight him and wanted em drain to 147, the catchweight queen.
……………
Such a hypocrite! Didn’t you see Floyd want to drain him to 150? Where are all those Floyd fans who called Manny the master of catch weights?
Arum exposed Mayweather big time. After all he’s a lawyer from Harvard so he can’t be fooled easily by Floyd like Floyd’s fans. He read all court minutes and proved that the court does not obligate Mayweather to fight on May 5, and that any day in May is ok. Another lie from Floyd.
Fans of both Mayweather and Pacquiao should be mature enough to have conversations without insulting one another. Both Mayweather and Pacquiao have their faults and blame on each can be made for this fight night happening. At no time in history has there been a promoter who has had as much say so over a fighter than Arum has over Pacquiao. Arum is the main reason why this fight has not happened, and the only way to make him pay for his disregard for the boxing public is to boycott all of his fights involving Pacquiao and his Top Rank boxers.
Its amazing how an entire race of people believe and follow like sheep. What an interesting race of people! No ideas, no thoughts, they just follow…MODERN DAY SLAVES TO BOB ARUM!!!
Manny Pacquiao stands no chance vs. Mayweather. Arum, Roach and Pacquiao himself, are well aware of this…
Manny Pacquiao wants Antonio Margarito!!!
i like manny , i have a lot of friends who manny is there hero and is something that has to be respected , but i think they really pushing pacman a bit to much now , the marquez fight was an absolute blockbuster and i think that is all pacman had left pac needs to have some time off.
Arum’s greed of money is the reason why this mega fight never happen. For all out there who are avid comment contributors on this site, I never seen a Filipino coward and please don’t include the wife of Manny Pacquiao on your hatred to our boxing champion. As a true gentleman, please respect all women!
@ Hahaha
You Fraud idiots are all the same, only see what you want to see. You are blinkered and would believe whatever you saw as long as it matched your view.
The truth of the matter is you know @hit what happened over the last 24 hours. And as for slamming someone for wanting to make as much money out of their last 2 or so fights, well you should be ashamed to think your self even a fan.
@ foreal
brother you have hit the nail on the head as usual, and im sure you can remember this site used to be filled with pactards and now they have diminished.
yes pactards used to say manny fights for the people not for the money…..what happened? floyd told the whole world manny pacquiao has the worst contract in sports and now the world can see that he makes pennies on the dollar.
bob arum is the pimp manny is the ho and floyd money mayweather is the private eye who 1st exposed them
@ Foreal
Pathological liar is Fraud Maynever and several un-named supporters here. What do you know of any approach in the last 24 hours ? Nothing.. But I will bet you there was a conversation and Maynever was not willing to move dates. From the outset of Fraud calling Manny out on Twitter the response has been NOT May 5th please let that sink in,,FROM THE BEGINING. Pacquiao will have to do RBT something Maynever insists on lmao ( but only ever done 2 )
Your insistance that Fraud will school Pacquiao is based on what?? Marquez lol Why not base it on Hatton or Oscar or Mosley? Ofcourse you will have your usual lame excuses OLD, SHOT blah blah blah Get over it allready. And mark my words you will hear nothing about an approach to fight pacquiao later this year by Frauds team before Pac next fights, but you will hear all sorts of smack talk from Maynever as per norm.
Shame on manny and all fillipino’s. He is a coward, no1 wants to see the fight next year, they will both be too old. Floyd, just fight sergio martinez, he is a real man, not a coward like manny.
filipinos are cowards, they should never show their faces in public.
Gentlemen, it is a matter of tims, Manny will get expossed again. What Marquez did was just the begining. Soon Manny wil kiss the canvas again.
Inside rumour the real reason Manny & Bob turned the fight down was because they wanted a catchweight with Floyd May Jr at 142lb
MAYWEATHER JR IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME
Arum understands the politics at hand. He knows that manny will definately lose against Floyd and the small liverage he has will thus disappear. He is trying to bank on this liverage as much as he can, but for how long?
The world is watching, and this might be the begining of nasty things for Manny. He will get whopped by Peterson, just like his mate Khan.
@ Little Man
hahaaaa….you are not even ashamed of yourself? Floyd is wounded? Wait and see what will happen. This has just proppeled Floyd into a better fighter than Manny, he will fight Martinez next, beat him and you know what the world will say. Even if Manny wins against the lightweight Peterson, Manny is in a lose-lose situation.
What a suprise Pacman shows his true colours, it just shows Pacman is a coward and should be ashamed to say he fights for the people, cos he fights only washed up fighters
After all these, I believe it’s Floyd who is really wounded. I wonder who he will fight next. He can’t make the rules anymore. No more demands and in the end he will beg for this fight to happen. No more “TWEETS”
@ Annonymous
You are a sorry pathological liar. Arum and Manny backed out before any negotiations could start. Your star is just hidding, and if it was Floyd behaving this way, all of you fools were going to have a field day with your foolishness.
I want manny to avoid mayweather at all costs. I know pacman is a warrior but floyd is smarter and will probably win. Good job bob, lets stay away from floyd.
Yeah pacman will probably fight peterson next. A jr welterweight.
But deep down inside I know pacman is afraid. Manny Pacquiaos a joke and Bob Arum is telling it.
“Mayweather is a coward, but I will support the boxer who sued another boxer for calling him names, yea that sounds right, because that is a real boxer, one that goes to court after his feelings get hurt, one that says he fights for the fans and wont fight may 5 becuz that aint enough money for the fight, I’ll support pacquiao because he hasnt fought a threatning opponent in over 2 years and the last fight he lost but was given a gift decision to a 38 year old man that he has faced twice before.”
……..thats how all you pactards sound
lmao pactard butthurt just off the scales right now.
all hail to the CATCHWEIGHT KING
ignorant fools! Ever care to find out what exactly happened? That coward would not settle on 50 split with pacquiao.
But u watch, that coward will settle for a 25 or 30 mil fighting someone he could easily beat.
Floyd has been the one with all kinss of excuses from the getgo, now that arum wont budge coz of floyds greed, ll of sudden pacquiao is scared.
Again, u watch, floyd will settlw on a cheap fight he ould easily win.
U all pachaters shut up ur BS and stop acting like a professional analyst! You have no idea to be a famous fighter like Floyd and Manny! Just shut up and wait Pacquiao’s announcement on Friday. Don’t be fool!
Anyway, it’s going to be Pac-Peterson showdown!
i knew from day one floyd was a magician and there is no way manny can put up with floyds defense. im glad more poeple see it now.
i thought manny took on all comers and wanted floyd really bad and i though it was mayweather who dodged everyone has thhe world gone mad or can u finally see it that manny and bob the butcher has been conning us ??? and manny wanted no part of floyd
well this proves it all flyd will be known now as the p4p king and the best welterweight in the world period
Pacquiao is now more interested in money than his fans. Hahaaaaa, those idiotic Pacfans boasted about a this for years and yet it was a facade. Poor Pacidiots.
Any doubt that Pacman is a fraud? We are vindicated, and we have been consistently telling everybody that Manny is a creation of Arum for years now. There it is!
thing is pac cant put a catchweight on maywather cause hes already naturally 147lbs thats why pac is scared to death cause he cant drain floyd.
run pacquiao run pu-c
Bob despite being in the evening of his life, he is as greedy as a 25 year old. Pacquiao must wake up and see things in real colour. Learn from Floyd and make your own money.
These people make me sick they talk about money as if they are broke, arum is a gready sob he is 90 years old his going to die soon what’s does he need anymore money. Boxing needs his fight badly
What joke
ITS TIME TO BOYCOTT TOP RANK, TIME FOR BOB ARUM TO FIND OUT THAT
THE FANS AINT STUPID…LIKE PACMAN AN THE REST OF THE TOP DUMMIES
THAT HES ROBBING, NO MORE IN HOUSE FIXED FIGHTS. ( I for one will
NEVER buy a top rank fight on PPV again ) if the fans keep buying the
fights we might as well be top rank DUMMIES TOO
I can tell you one thing with absolute certainty. I will never again pay the PPV fee to watch these two money grabbing idiots fight ever again. Gonna stream online for free because they have conned us for long enough. forget this Arum robbing Pacman bs! THEY ROBBING US! If May 5th dont make sense then why not have a rematch clause in place that will generate even more revenue. Disgusted with boxing again. At least Dana White and the UFC make the big fights happen
pacquio scared of dangerous fighters. floyd was first to pick on the best hatton, delahoya, shane, bigger ortiz, possible martinez. pac only fights weight drained retired beatup leftovers from floyd..
Well there yo go, don’t say I didn’t tell you. Maynever insists on RBT Date and Venue. And I will put money on it between now and when Pacquiao next fights that there is no negotiations by Floyd just like there hasn’t been this time… Tweet tweet.
Remember how Fraud calls out fighters without negotiating Martinez, Williams, Mosley and the Little fella ( No idea who he is because Fraud or his team never entered in to talks .
Bob Arum is to blame but that is FRauds fault also, Kiss and make up lol you might make better money MONEY
If Floyd has been running away, is it reason enough for Manny to run.
It does not matter how and when Floyd has become keen. Manny is potrayed the gentleman of the two, why has he decided to behave like what they accuse Floyd of doing?
We all know what happened, and what is happening. Arum is milking Pacquiao in broad day-light. I feel sorry for him and his supporters.
when they fight if they do they will both be past there best!! Floyd has only been really interested after the jmm 3 fight. He wasn’t no where near as keen when he was doin cotto, hatton etc.
we have to stop thinking about that fight, it will never take a place or if it does it will be later when both fighters are old and want to milk last drop of money out of boxing fans. I personally think that fight would be really a big let down and disspoinment. IT’s been lots of hype, we should not buy in to it, and let the whole saga go away. I am not interested. these horrible promorers killing the sport, and that’s the reason there will never be truly great figters like ali again, by the way happy birhday CHAMP!
I think that the day Bob Arum drops it will be a blessing, were all sick of his mess and his greed, good think he isn’t leaving someone behind either to continue his fk mess.
It’s us the people that pay for the fights so why are some people paying for what they want you to see? that’s like goin to a restaurant and they give you what they got not what you ask for!!!!!!!!!!!! boycott all pacman’s fights see who is control now
Almost all the people here are frustrated by Pacman’s camp decision.You must also understand that Pacman had been waiting for a long,long time.And they even spent time and money for the negotiation…but it failed bcoz of the scared and coward Floyd jr.But now,it’s time for them to make somewhat a revenge for coward Floyd jr.And let’s see if coward floyd jr can earn enough money for his fight.I actually pity coward Floyd Jr bcoz he’s broke now.Bwahahahahaha!
Floyd will not fight any of the following boxers
Martinez,Alvarez or Pacquiao.This latest posoturing is BS.He knew Pacquiao wouldnt fight him next after a poor performance against Marquez.Dont hold your breath for november either as i can smell another pretend retirement coming as i expect Pacquiao to perform well in his next fight hopefully against Marquez again.
Arum is bad for boxing, all greed.
pacquio pu-c. im glad floyd is showing interst in fighting martinez.. pac was scared to even fight him and wanted em drain to 147, the catchweight queen
Pacman I NEVER thought id say this but YOU R A COWARD. An Entertainer only not a real boxer.
Twitting on Twitter is not how to do it Floyd. Who’s gonna buy it? Only Floydiots. Call Arum negotiate a fight against Pac!
Pac/arum are some dirty stinkin p u s s y !
ARUM’S GREED HAS MADE A MOCKERY OF BOXING AND MAKING A MOCKERY OF PACQUAIO. WHAT IS ARUM GOING TO DO WITH THE EXTRA MILS? HE’S GOT ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE, HE AINT TAKING NONE OF THAT MONEY WITH HIM…. ANYWAY – OBVIOUS THEY KNOW PAC GONNA TAKE A BEATING….. PAC GONNA TAKE A BEATING IN HIS NEXT FIGHT ANYWAY – THEN GUESS WHAT STUPID OLD MAN ARUM HAS LOST HIS GRAVY TRAIN ANYWAY.
Stop paying for arums fights and then maybe boxing will change!
Pacquiao aint running lol. Pacquiao wants the fight at the end of may or start of june. If mayweather wants pacquiao so badly he should take the fight at the end of may. A little more jail time for fighting at the end of may wont hurt floydy.
