    Pacquiao's camp and Mayweather's camp have avoided the fight period. It's just sad and pathetic.

    Imagine Ali not fighting Frazier, Duran not fighting Leonard, Hagler not fighting Hearns, Sanchez not fighting Gomez, Chavez not fighting Camacho, De La Hoya not fighting Trinidad.

    All the greats became great by fighting the best of their era. Mayweather and Pacquiao are pathetic sportsmen.

    Trying to downplay a win over Alexander by saying wins over Broner and Berto are more impressive is LOL stupid.

    floyds in a tough position where his next fight - khan, pac, or cotto at MW is a legit threat. I'm sticking by my prediction that he announces retirement shortly.

    2. Cut needs 8 months to heal

    11. Purse has to be 50/50, even though Pac said he would take the smaller purse
    12. Arum said he is not pushing for fight because Floyd is really fighting Guerrero
    13. Pac is running for president and fighting Floyd would not be good press because of Floyd's disrespectful ways.
    14. Arum doesn't know who to call to reach Floyds business
    15. Floyd must first guarentee his purse (yet Floyd and MoneyTeam have more money than all inverstors combined).

    23. Mayweather is fighting Erik Morales so pac has to fight a possible other 4 guys.
    24. People won't pay to see Mayweather's style
    25. "I don't even know what ees a steroid" -Manny Pacquiao -Future President of the Filipines
    26. Maywaether may not get a licensed by the boxing commision, so we can't negotiate fight- Bob Arum
    27. We need a bigger temporary stadium to have lower ticket/ppv prices for the fans

    This content is protected

    29. Mayweather camp are negotiating through the media
    30. Arum is giving him a dose of reality, thats why he's not making the fight.
    31. Pac and Arum playing games with floyd to mock him.
    32. Mayweather had his chance but he blew it in 2009.

    Assuming both were retired now and regardless if they had fought or not, which of all his demands will never be forgotten from your mind?

    1. Take the test. (if you dont, then you're on PEDS)
    2.

    The whole ducking thing can be judge on many things, when Pac beat De La Hoya, Hatton and then Cotto, it was I beat De La Hoya at 154lbs, Pac beat him at 147lbs so doesn't count, I beat Hatton at 147lbs, took his 0 so when Pac beat him at his natural weight of 140lbs in 2 rounds in brutal fashion, it was Hatton was done, when Pac destroyed Cotto at 145lbs, it was again it doesn't count as Cotto had to drop 2lbs. Wonder if he thinks beating Canelo counts because he made him drop 2lbs to 152lbs for their fight? Of course he does. The crazy thing about the whole situation, is he implied Pac was a drug cheat for wins that he downplayed any chance he got, complete contradictory but that is his style. I actually think Floyd would fight better when scared, but when you have so much control/power, can earn fortunes for beating guys that you believe you will be without any problem, why take the risk when your 0 is the most precious thing to you? The new Khan business is just usual nonsense, if Maidana had not beat Broner last year, it would have been Khan facing Mayweather in May 2014 and not Maidana, he was able to somewhat manipulate the Maidana fight because Maidana beat May's quote on quote little brother, the guy to take over from him, Floyd got lucky, now he looks around and who can he fight? I don't see Garcia because unless it's huge cash why would his dad feed him and his 0 to May? There be no point. Only way he fights Pac is if he gets everything his own way and then some.

    You don't like facts I see. Simply read the excuses that came from Pacquiao, Arum, Roach, and his fans and you shall see that Pacquiao's camp did everything to avoid either Mayweather, or OSDT.

    , but that excuses were made and are there to avoid the fight, the proof is in the pudding if you care to use your God given common sense.

    your just a duckweather fan just admit it

    why did duckweather even come up with the homemade testing anyway?

    if duckweather never asked for the homemade testing back in 09 WHEN IT WAS UNHEARD OF you honestly think the fight would not of been made?

    that in itself can be seen as ducking he asked for something which was never done before

    Bob Arum reveals that 48 million homes watched Manny Pacquiao in China event, and that the boxing legend will judge Miss Universe in January 2015. But Arum believes May 2, 2015, in Las Vegas should feature Mexican fighters.

    Manny Pacquiao's defence of the World Boxing Organisation welterweight crown in Macau, China, in November was watched by 48 million homes in China, promoter Bob Arum has revealed, and he insisted that the proposed May 2 date for Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather is "disrespectful to the Mexican people".

    Arum believes May 2, 2015, is not the best weekend to hold Mayweather-Pacquiao. "May 2, that Cinco De Mayo weekend, is a Mexican holiday. It is a big Mexican-American holiday. It's a fight date being talked about for Mayweather, Pacquiao, even Cotto, but they're not Mexicans or even Mexican-Americans," Arum told The Telegraph.

    "The only Mexican who is a draw on that date is Canelo (Saul Alvarez)," added Arum. It has been proposed that Miguel Cotto – a Puerto Rican – fights Saul Alvarez in Las Vegas on that date, the same date Mayweather has suggested he would fight Pacquiao.

    "I think it's disrespectful to the Mexican people not to have Canelo fight on their holiday," Arum added, telling The Telegraph, "I see Mayweather as poaching on a Mexican holiday and being disrespectful to the Mexican people."

    "Everybody agrees with that, except Mayweather. He is putting his ego before respect for people. April or June would be fine for that fight (Mayweather-Pacquiao). What difference does it make?"

    Meanwhile, Arum has revealed that Pacquiao's landslide 12 round decision in the headliner in Macau against the American Chris Algieri – 119-103, 119-103, 120-102 – draw a massive viewing audience from mainland China.

    "It was a huge success. Forty-eight million homes watched it," Arum said. "That's effectively over half the population of the UK. Boxing is becoming a major sport in China. I want to build the audience as much as possible before we even think about pay-per-view."

    The Chinese population were also tuning in for the double Olympic Games champion Zou Shiming, who is now promoted by the octogenarian American promoter. Is Pacquiao a bigger draw than Shiming ?

    "That is not the case. They are interested in Manny Pacquiao more than any other international fighter, but it does not surpass or even equal their interest in their own boy Zou Shiming. He is number one."

    Arum will turn his attention to Pacquiao's plans for 2015 imminently. "A lot of it is working around Freddie Roach's schedule (for Pacquiao). He has Zou Shiming March 7 fighting for a title. Then he has Miguel Cotto and he's got to schedule his fight, probably May 2. So Manny will be either in April or June."

    Meanwhile, Pacquiao is back in action in January – as a judge – not of boxing, but of beauty. "The only thing we're planning with Pacquiao (early in 2015) is that he's going to be a judge at one of these beauty contests – Miss World or Miss Universe, the one in Miami, in January," added Arum.
