    man at least mayweather can call and let his fans know why he is not able to fight, he is only allowing people to call him a coward because he does not say anything. I respect all boxers and their skill mayweather perhaps has one of the best right now, but years of him not being able to keep his mouth shut and talk allot of bs has came back to fire him. The respectable thing to do would be to address the situation , people will probably still call him coward but real boxing fans can understand if he does not want to fight due to his rogers case

    This is the same **** storm that hit manny over the steroid accusations, only instead of back peddling, mayweather and camp kept going with it.

    Arum is smarter in mayweather in that sense, he accused may of being a coward and realized if he didn't back off, the fight would die.

    Boxing fans are the worst people at jumping the gun and passing judgement.

    I said the day the steroid accusations and drug testing came up "Everyone calm the **** down, there is no evidence pac is on roids... wait for some actual evidence before you convict him"

    That same day like 50 people had an avatar of manny as a body builder or a cheater.

    It's STILL going on now, and mayweather will STILL be the biggest coward ever in a few months.

    Even if he does fight pacquiao now, you realize how many people are going to say it's because he was called a coward in every media outlet in the world?

    That's why you don't make stupid accusations about people based off of anecdotal evidence.

    I can understand people saying that though. Mayweather has prided himself on his reputation for such a long time and it's being torn apart by anyone whose boxing knowledge starts and ends with Ali. Non-fans know of this. It's destroying the credibility he's built up over his entire career.

    If he could shut them all up, I think he would before the deadline ended. It's a new day and still nothing. It's not looking good at all and all this negativity will stick.

    I just can't imagine Mayweather not saying anything, unless it's true.

    Come on Luke!
    Why do u think camp mayweather is quiet?
    Ellerby and void are thinking of a best excuse!

    Void is void, nothing else can be said!

    void is void = manny is on roids.



    I'm not a 15 year old fan boy of any boxer. I want to see this fight and i'm on the outside looking in.

    I don't buy into anything that isn't backed by actual facts.

    Mayweather always goes quiet...it keeps people second guessing. Like someone said earlier...Mayweather was probably sat there last night laughing his ass off. He'll no doubt speak when he feels it's right, but he needs to give us some good information.

    What am I crying about?

    You boxer fans taking sides on every issue with whoever you like more is garbage.




    Are there any BOXING fans on this site?
    Mayweather and Pacquiao are just 2 boxers.

    Yeah, pac is more exciting and funner to watch, but he's still only 1 guy.

    Don't act like the joyboys did over the steroid bull****.

    Floyd has already lost his P4P status
    Floyd has been criticized for ducking in the past

    I really wanted Floyd to take this fight and think Manny would crush but so many boxing heads think the opposite so I really wanted to see this one and either way I would accept the winner as the best in my lifetime.

    Floyd let me down and boxing by not accepting or making a statement. Need to move on and enjoy whoever Manny fights next. He is just amazing to watch and we may never see anyone like him ever again. I am happy with whatever happens.

    Criticized by who? Bob Arum

    You haven't heard anything from FMJ. Until you do? Don't place blame on him.

    Now looking at this whole situation? You see what Arum's agenda was and is in the future. Ok Mayweather is not on board so what's next? Give fans a fight they will love? Hell no! Give them another Bob Arum payday.

    Kind of sad really.
