Strange isn't it...especially when you think about how Arum didn't attack Mayweather after the "deadline".
i dont doubt for a minute that pac wants the fight...arum himself said that with king he could make the fight, so that leads me to believe that he is the roadblock (from pacs side).
manny isn't the smartest guy. 1) Floyd doesn't even care about belts and championships at this point of his career. It was live on HBO broadcast for the entire world to know. Even back then it was all about the WBC. manny is holding a worthless belt and championship in Floyd's eyes. 2) He keeps saying he's already accepted to the demands but never mentions the details. The 50/50, 14 days that was taken off MONTHS ago?
Because Arum hates Oscar Delahoya and hates Floyd Mayweather. He hates King too, but King is old school like him. Arum used to promote Oscar, now he has his company calling shots against him??? The stubborn old man can't stand it! He also probably believes King will get Floyd to drop his demands, in where GBP kiss Floyds ass and do as their told :deal
I love this in a fighter, the willingness to fight even if their opponent appears to be a tough matchup for them much proprs Pacquiao if this news is true. Screw the "once a year" crap Floyd and get the fight done people are dying to see it.
I used to favor Mayweather by a large margin in this fight. However, with the recent statements that have been made, and Pac's seemingly overwhelming confidence, I would now favor Pacquiao to win. In the past, I would've called it 70/30 for Mayweather. Now, I like Pac 60/40.
It's from Pac's official blog. It will be on other news agencies soon. Pac has accepted Floyd's demands in writing and is asking for a fight. All up to Floyd now.
This reminds me of some Harlequinn romance. Emmanuel and Floydette are about to marry each other, everyone around thinks they will be a great couple:love But before the wedding Floydette has a suspicion that Emmanuel is addicted to drugs so she tells him to get tested or there is no wedding... :bart Emmanuel says 'if you want the proof then you don't love me for real' and the wedding is cancelled.:-( They both have some litlle love affairs but they both feel that these are just nothing compared to their true love. And everyone around think that.:happy So Emmanuel in the the name of love agrees to the tests. But Floydette seems to be afraid of her feelings now...:admin Emmanuel is deeply upset and decides to marry another woman.:| It seems it is all lost but Emmanuel speks... For the last time. Saying that his wedding isn't certain yet and he's still waiting for Floydette... HE LOVES YOU FLOYDETTE! MARRY HIM FFS!
Testing: All the top level pros should do what Conte suggested which is year round testing. Other than that, Floyd needs to make this fight happen. Tired of his b.s. as well. 3 options for me to watch Floyd's next fight: Pac, Williams, and Martinez. That's it. Hope the same for everybody else. Don't be a fool. Unless of course you get it for free than more power to you. Just don't put money in his pocket. Same for Pac: crappy fight = don't watch unless you get it for free
I consider it a close match. The only time I would have truly favored Floyd is if you can somehow take a time-machine and get the version of Floyd that fought from 130-140 and matched him up against the version of Pac that fought there. Now, forget it. Floyd's a different fighter both Mentally and Physically. And being on Roach's hit-list, yeah, doesn't look good. I'm interested in the fight because I want to see if Floyd can pull it off. He talked a lot of **** about past fighters and how they lost but forgot to note that many also had losses past their best...and some of those guys, like SRR, like Ali, won big fights against prime fighters, younger fighters, while being past their best. Can Floyd do the same? We'll see. He needs to fight the best or he needs to STFU about past Great fighters.
I think it's pretty obvious Pac doesn't want to fight Margarito. Which makes that fight all the more dangerous. Floyd needs to stop the games and just make the fight already. Really, no one wants to see these guys fight anyone but each other.
Can you imagine if a low-activity Floyd comes out somewhat tentative early? That would be Floyd's worst nightmare.
Arum must be fuming...I'm made up Pacquiao has come out and pretty much said he doesn't want Margarito.
