by Daniel Ciminera: All I have read about in recent months is Pacquiao v Mayweather and to be perfectly honest, I was completely sick of it a long time ago. Forget Mayweather snr. Forget Golden Boy. Forget Arum. Forget Malignaggi. Forget everything but, Floyd and Manny. Why, if these are supposed to be two of the best fighters in history, is there any avoidance going on?! In my opinion, they have both shown themselves up badly and done the sport no favours whatsoever with their recent actions. Or rather, lack thereof!

By William Mackay: Promoter Bob Arum says that he’s been given instructions from his fighter World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao to look for another fight, according to the Mirror. Arum says “We contacted Manny [Pacquiao], and his position is firm, irrevocable. He instructed us to pursue another fight, period. I don’t see the fight happening now.” Arum doesn’t exactly seem optimistic about making the huge potential mega fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao happen.
Fights for 2010 that we want to see!
By Simon Hirst:
Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao
Wouldn’t it be great if we could all get along? Unfortunately, it seems as though this mega match will happen in the courts rather than the ring. I would love to think this is all part of a media stunt in promoting the bout, but I can’t see it myself. Worlds pound for pound best fighting each other.
Is Pacquiao too small to beat Foreman?
By Dave Lahr: I’m not even thinking that the bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao can be salvaged at this point. It looks as if neither of the two fighters are going to give in about the drug testing methods, and the lawsuit by Pacquiao that was announced yesterday, probably spells doom for the potential mega fight. That’s good news for World Boxing Association light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KO’s), who has been mentioned as a possible next opponent for Pacquiao by Manny’s promoter Bob Arum.
Pacquiao vs. Yuri Foreman: Does anyone see this as an interesting bout?
By Sean McDaniel: Yesterday, Manny Pacquiao filed a defamation suit in Nevada against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Floyd Sr., Roger Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoy and Richard Schaefer, the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, because they allegedly made defamatory statements about Pacquiao using performance enhancing drugs (PED). This is some terrible news for boxing fans who were hoping to see the mega fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao. It doesn’t like it’s ever going to happen now, not with all this going on.
Pacquiao vs. Mayweather: Winners and losers
By Gibney Desmond: Whether you’re a Mayweather or a Pacquiao fan, you’ve got to be disappointed by the whole sordid affair of the botched negotiations, the foolish allegations, and the unending frustration that you probably will never be able to enjoy the undoubtedly brilliant show that could and should have been.
Pacquiao could win millions in lawsuit against Mayweather, De La Hoya and Schaefer
By Jason Kim: As reported by The Grand Rapids Press, World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao could stand to win tens of millions of dollars if his lawsuit for defamation against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather Sr., Roger Mayweather and Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is successful. Pacquiao has hired famous American lawyer Daniel Petrocelli to represent him in this case. Petrocelli said in an interview at Grand Rapids Press, “They’ve already done untold damage, in the tens of millions of dollars, and we’re going to see this doesn’t happen again, and we’re going to recover for all the damage that they’ve already inflicted.”
Pacquiao-Mayweather, The Saga Continues
by Kaygee Ocampo: When the news broke out that Pacquiao-Mayweather fight will be set on March 13, the news was too good to be true, however as they say, some good things never last. Demands were raise from both camps, demands that generate million questions from boxers and boxing fans alike. Demands that generate doubt to solidify the legacy of Money and Manny. Demands that set the fight not to happen. Demands that if could be answered from both camps with evidences, will turn the dream fight into reality. Here are some of the questions regarding and the fight and relating to every people around it.
Will Pacquiao’s lawsuit against Mayweather make it impossible for the fight to be made?
By Jason Kim: I don’t begrudge Manny Pacquiao for wanting to file a lawsuit for defamation against Floyd Mayweather Jr., his father Floyd Sr., Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, as reported today, but I think this may make it much harder to make the mega fight possible between Pacquiao and Mayweather now. It’s not impossible for the fight to still be made, but this likely won’t help matters. Besides that, Pacquiao is taking a lot of heat from boxing fans in internet boxing forums and in the comment sections of blogs.
Mayweather has got under Manny’s skin
By Michael Taylor: Floyd Mayweather Jr. is known so well by boxing fans for his torments and the way he gets under opponents skin, but usually does it when they stand face to face, and when the fight is arranged. But this time Mayweather has already enraged Manny Pacquiao, and Manny wasn’t short of words in a recent interview back in the Philippines. Manny has now agreed to do urine tests before the fight but still the fight is still in danger.
