Floyd Mayweather Jr-Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[Newzz]

@Black_Jesus, both ODLH and B-Hopkins are basically calling out Floyd. Hinting around that Floyd may be possibly scared to fight Pacquiao or risk his zero in a fight

"I can not understand why this [fight] has not been done. I can not understand why, because in my day, during Chavez's time, we saw the best fight with the best. I have that pride. I wanted to fight with the best, win or lose, but it was against the best. I can not understand these things," De La Hoya told ESPN Deportes.

"Mayweather will not fight [him], because he thinks that if leaves the sport undefeated [he will be considered the best ever], but he won't be - because people will respect you more when you face the toughest, the strongest, the most dangerous. It doesn't matter who, all of the biggest names lost - Sugar Ray Robinson, [Muhammad] Ali, Pacquiao. What matters is the legacy we're leaving behind."

"I think if Floyd Mayweather really wants to fight him, he would be announcing it right now. That's one side to look at it," Hopkins told BoxingScene.com.

"Khan, Cotto, Pacquiao - all three of those individuals that I mentioned, they are not coming and saying 'please give me a fight for $3 million dollars or $5 million dollars.' That was over with with the Maidana fight. That's not happening no more. The dead-end [for is next fight] is with the three guys I just mentioned - Cotto, Pacquiao and Khan."

"We got to hear something soon. I believe that he wants Pacquiao last. Nobody who loves money would walk away from $80 million dollars or however much he would make with all the bell and whistles. When someone has that mentality and loves money - they always want more. And I'm not saying if that's good or bad. But I don't think he wants Pacquiao right now, because it would be a bigger hit if they both win their next one, or the two fights that Floyd has on his contract."

Ricky Hatton going to BOTH Floyd and Manny

"The pair of them [are to blame], [because] it's up to Manny and Floyd to make it happen. The reason I got into boxing is to be the best. You don't want to be on the sofa, 20 years from now as an old man, thinking 'could I have beat him, could I have not.' I fought both of them and they don't want to fight each other. A massive fight for boxing. I bought my flight just in case [it happens]," Hatton told BoxingScene.com/Be Real Boxing.

The fact that Floyd just posted that bullshyt 10 second plea coppin video talking about "we've got to make this fight happen" was enough confirmation for me that Floyd AINT fighting Pac in May...

Be on the lookout for a Mayweather/Cotto 2 announcement in the next few days

The video was sneaky as hell


Manny thought they were having negotiations and discussing the fight, Floyd was there to put on a show for the camera....literally That's why I said he's playing chess, when's the last tine that Mayweather gave Pacquiao props on anything But face to face, he's all "we both have had great careers" "we need to give the public the fight we want to see" or whatever he said


It was so fake to ME that it's amazing that people buy into it


Again, I have no doubts that MANNY wants the fight 100%...he would fight anyone imo. Floyd wants the fight as well, but he's trying to preserve his public image from Arum it seems, which is why he had to pull a "candid camera" type trick on Pac in order to let people know how he feels


Honestly, I still believe that Arum doesnt want that fight at all, which is fukked up, because Manny is good enough to pull off something special. I wouldnt bet on him, but I wouldnt be surprised either

If Arum didn't want the fight he wouldn't be meeting and negotiating with Moonves, head of CBS..

Floyd called Pac again this weekend

 

[Newzz]

He needs to be meeting with the head of HBO Sports or Time Warner


Arum meeting with Les Mooves means nothing really...they cant make a deal


HBO and Showtime needs to make a deal, and the problem lies on HBO's side which is TR's problem. Arum needs to fix it if he really wants this fight


Pac is not a boss or the problem. Floyd is onboard with the fight and, as Michael Koncz said, is the A-Side.....which means Showtime/CBS is. Arum needs to talk to HIS network and get this fight done

Fight hasn't even been made and we have an official stickied fight thread If and when the fight gets finalized, one of the boxing heads from the Ring should be making the official thread.

 

[unit321]

It's all about the money. The promoters should be looking at a big payday, so I don't know why they aren't hustling harder to get a finalized date and time.
