Pacquiao fans don't get to patronise anyone. Mayweather fans have been with him for a decade. They're not abusive, morons, who jumped on the bandwagon 2 years ago, as they enjoy trolling on boards
Come on. Seriously. The only reason Manny fought Cotto and Margarito is the fact that they had lost recently, were past their best, and were the biggest names in the division. Floyd tended to go for the old, big names as well. Cotto and Margarito were feared, largely unbeaten guys, who were no real draw, and no real name, when they were calling out Mayweather. Not big names, guaranteeing him $25 million
Ahhh, how sweet. You actually believe all of these mystery benefactor stories! Can I save you some time. Bob Arum makes stuff up, to keep fans happy. This time next year, you'll be paying $50 to see Cotto 2
The fight won't happen until Manny goes into negotiations, being willing to do full random drug testing. You know, Manny being willing to accept his own demands, isn't really much
The ...... BUSINESS ....... SIDE of This Whole Thing IS WHATS KILLING THIS FIGHT :deal its not manny's fault .....its not floyds fault ! It's Their ' TEAMS ' that stop it from happening :deal Neither Side will let their fighter have the SMALLEST DISADVANTAGE :-( ARUM Does NOT Want the Fight .....why would he ??? he is making more money selling Top Rank / in house Fights and promoting manny into a mega star !!!!! manny is the new elvis :deal why risk manny in ONE Risky fight which he possibly could lose for 50 million when he can fight 3/4 times a year at 25 million a fight against competition he will easily beat ! Arum wants to keep manny winning and keep the public buying the pacquiao product ......its a Gold mine :deal Arum has played a smart game jumping to SHOWTIME he knows floyd is loyal to hbo and will never sign a deal to give top rank / showtime the bigger slice of the purse . floyd would have to eat humble pie and take less money to the pacquiao promotion ...... money mayweathers pride will never settle for less cash ........ARUM KNOWS THIS :deal Arum will keep on claming floyd is scared and manny is the p4p NOW ON TO FLOYDS TEAM ..... Forget Steroids ...Floyd is not scared of manny floyd is scared of Mannys STATUS :deal Floyd knows manny is the New FACE of BOXING and he can't stand it he knows the public are on manny's side and he is terrified that he will have to eat humble pie and take a smaller chunk of the purse :deal the truth is manny is the bigger superstar than floyd !!!!! Thats why floyd is trying to Demonise manny with steroid allegations to try and get the public on his side :deal weather manny is on PED's...... or Not ...... is completely Irrelevant BOTH TEAMS are Playing ' A VERY SMART GAME ' trying to Demonise their Opponent and get the public on their side ! US THE BOXING LOYALISTS should Not side with ONE SIDE WE SHOULD BE ANGRY WITH BOTH TEAMS The Business teams Behind floyd and manny is what is KILLING this Dream Fight for US :deal Neither side will let their fighter have the SMALLEST DISADVANTAGE THATS WHY NEGOTIATIONS FALL APART It's SIMPLY BUSINESS and BUSINESS is ' MONEY ' Would a Rival Company Cave in and let the other company win ????? I DOUBT IT
The sensible post. All we've heard regarding this fight is dribs and drabs from subjective sources (this includes Arum and Mayweather Sr's). Until someone reliable actually comes out and confirms anything, then what Boom has explained will only really be the evident truth. I can't see any negotiation/press for this fight being at all valid until after Floyd's court hearing. Until then, it's all just a right load of bollox.
Yes they are. Hatton - Not that good & in the wrong division Oscar - Old Marquez - Old & small Mosely - Old
so that is floyd's excuse or is it ellerbe why floyd won't fight cotto back in 2008 when it was the biggets fight in boxing, cause cotto is not a draw? also margarito was not a draw yet both their figths with pac has resulted in 1.25M and 1.15M PPV respectively. floyd has ton's of excuses not to fight certain threats.
Pacquiao fans lost all credibility after the Mosely fight. You guys spent 12 months claiming Mayweather would never face him, and that he was scared of real welterweights Mayweather fans spent 12 months saying he'd school the guy. All you guys do is build people up, then change your mind depending on the result I remember Dan Raphael saying Mayweather was ducking Baldomir...........
Come on. Let's stop playing games here. Margarito and Cotto were old names, bordering on being two of the best known boxers in the sport when Manny faced them. Like Mayweather taking on Judah or De la Hoya basically. Manny isn't taking on hungry, young, guys for bum pay cheques any more than Mayweather did. Manny's equivilant of Cotto or Margarito is guys like Bradley, Khan, Ortiz, Berto As in, $10 million, and a bit of risk
