Where is that damn stadium?
How was Joe Jackson going to pay for the fight when he has to borrow money from Katherine just to live bc Michael kept him out of the will? Why was Bobby Brown going to perform there? |

Unpatriotic bastahds!
Seriously though, both will never be the same by the fight that never was... More so with Floid as he lives in America where he will be more disgraced by the unforgiving American press, living in the ridicule for the rest of his life--while Pacquiao on the other hand continue a hero's life with a bright political future in his native Philippines when he retires. Floid has more to lose and his team should think that over IF they truly cared..

It's all Pacquiao's fault!
He shouldn't have Knocked Out Hatton in 2 Rounds and TKO'd Miguel Cotto and took their belts! The stupid thing was, why did Pacquiao have to damage Margarito's eye? Which Margarito out weighed Pacquiao by 17 pounds that night. Shouldn't have Knocked Mosley down. ![]() He ruined it! |

It's despicable. What type of a fighter is afraid to lose or afraid to fight?
Floyd should be exiled from boxing and his name struck from all boxing records. |

After years of fruitless back-and-forth attacks between the camps, Koncz met with Mayweather last spring in Las Vegas in a series of meetings that seemed to gain traction. Ultimately, Koncz said Mayweather insisted on an offer no fighter of Pacquiao's stature would accept.
"He was always stuck on, 'We'll give you $40 million,'" Koncz said. "We know that the fight would generate, conservatively, between $150 million and $175 million. How foolish would we be to take a $40 million guarantee, a flat fee? It's insane." In other words, Mayweather made an offer he knew Pacquiao could — and would — refuse. Smart — if you want to avoid the fight. The man they call "Money" just doesn't want to fight Manny. |

From jump, Floyd's negotiation tactics have been everything one should NOT do if " serious" negotiations are taking place......Floyd turned negotiations with Pac into a circus and is the main reason this fight still has yet to happen. |

The closest thing we will ever see that compares to a wide UD between theses two will be it Pac wins by a KO.....if the fight goes 12......its always going to be close.

Floyd asked for random testing from the very beginning. Manny got what he wanted and Floyd asked for the testing. Team Pacquiao actually agreed to do the full testing from the very start and then they backed out on it and wanted cut offs. Floyd went into mediation just to save the fight and offered a 14 day cut off. Manny himself said that he would do it but he just didn't want to to a blood test the day of the fight. When Manny was told that he had a 14 day window he said that was too close to the fight. Now anyone in their right mind would think that was suspect and that is when Floyd started talking shit.
