    I've never heard so many excuses from a fighter on why he shouldn't be a free man.
    He's like those Negroes on the plantation that after emancipation wanted to stay on the plantation and continue to work for massa for free.

    Sure, I could understand how he would be loyal to TR for 3-4 years sharing his purse with countless middlemen during this period.
    But now, he with all the 100s millions of dollars he has generated over this time, what does he have to show for it? $68 millions of dollars of debt which he has to pay 40% of each fight to make up, plus the usual 30% IRS, plus TR's share, plus management and business expenses.
    By now I would think Manny would be smart enoug to drastically reduce his costs by eliminatibg some middlemen.
    From the looks of it, it will take Manny 2-3 fights to clean up his debt.

    You *****s get worried about what Bradley said about Pacquaio? Excuses running dry for your master. A fight or 2 more and the pressure is going to be back on. Floyd might just retire early.

    :hey

    I disagree. Pacquiao will be a stain on Floyd's legacy for as long as his legacy exists.

    Floyd needs to stop screwing around and beat Manny and get that question off his legacy. There's just no question about it. I think it's a safe fight for Floyd at this stage of their careers. He needs to take it from Nike and "Just do it". Besides, it's a great payday, to boot.

    :huh Fixed that for you because you aren't making any sense. Put the crack pipe down, let the high wear off, and then try again later with some semblance of rational coherent thought.

    Say what you want about Manny Paquaio but the bottom line of why he'll never get a fight with Mayweather isnt anything to do with Arum Nothing to do with his supposed tax debt. Nothing to do with testing.

    God's Truth is..........................

    Hey I'll make a bet with ya.....
    I say that in 10 yrs time Manny Paquaio will be living a far superior life than Floyd Floyd will be penniless on skid row. His hangers on robbed him of all his $$$$ . Mike Tyson will be a millionaire compared to Floyd:hi:

    Think about it, you piece of ****.

    Why you think I want you to get all ****ed up?

    I don't.

    My point is, if you show no loyalty and you're all about money and nothing else, karma can **** you over.

    So your girl might roll your ass in the closet.

    That's all I'm sayin.

    Loyality is a serious thing. You need to take it more seriously.

    Even if Manny left Bob (and we ignore the time lost and expense of gaining this "freedom"), do you really think Floyd would fight him unless he signed his life away to Mayweather's team just so Floyd could hedge his bets? Even then, there's no guarantee he actually gets the Floyd fight

    The same guys ragging on Pac for sticking with Top Rank would be ragging on him for being dumb and gullible enough to believe Floyd and leave a sure thing for an empty promise. No wonder he'd rather stay with the devil he knows.

    true, but pacquiao has pretty much been a 'silent partner' when talking up a fight against Floyd - and if he has now said he'll take arum over Floyd, then it's very disappointing
    part of me can't understand why pac has never seemed enthusiastic about this fight, and thinks arum will lead him to glory without a Floyd fight (which will always remain the most meaningful fight either of them could have taken...)

    Floyd deserves criticism because he can't stop telling people how great he is, but there is that small writing at the bottom of his claim which screams the loudest....but pacman is also a great fighter, and he's been a passive passenger for the most part when it comes to a Floyd fight

    disappointing stuff

    Is this true?

    is sad that pac or floyd don't care about the fight.2 biggest P4P stars,fighting in same weighclass.both have huge fanbase,are the only boxers who casuals know.

    I have already gave up seeing this match,i blame both.

    I don't care who wins this match,only want to see the fight.

    Boxing is not sport anymore,boxing is only business.

    Fererer says to Nadal i make enough money already,we ha have different promoters.i don't want to play tennis against you.makes sense?

    LOL!

    Pacquiao fight not happening won't effect Mayweather's legacy one bit. At worst people will wonder how the fight might have gone, but anyone that knows boxing understands that Pac never really had any chance to actually beat Mayweather. This is especially true when you look at what JMM did to Pacquiao and what Mayweather did to JMM.

    Mayweather is sitting in luxury, the highest paid athlete in the world. He is tightly connected with Al Haymon and has the best financial advice in the country. He runs his own promotion company and is very likely to be in line to take over from GBP when he retires.
    He has been rated #1 on the p4p list for how many years now? I don't see him giving up the 31 p4p spot any time soon.

    LOL! What the hell does Floyd need Pac for?
    Not for money.
    Not for legacy.
    Not for ****!
