    I honestly believe that Manny is No way in Hell afraid to fight Floyd. But i do believe that Roach and Especially BOB "GREEDY" ARUM is.

    Arum simply wants to capitolized on the Interest from the Casual Fans Love of Pacquiao and make as much money as he can by fighting opponents Already under the TOP RANK INC. UMBRELLA.

    Sure, a fight with Floyd would be HUGE...But Arum will still have to Share that Money with a Fighter who gave him THE FINANCIAL FINGER!! Although I think Floyd is a JERK...He said something awhile back that we all have come to see...WAS DEAD SPOT-ON!!!!

    After leaving Bob Arum, Floyd had an interview with ESPN's Brian Kenny, and Floyd was asked: "Why did you split with Arum". And Floyd's response was: "Bob Arum does not lookout for the BEST INTEREST of his fighters!"

    I think we all truly understand this now:-(.

    No I think it proves he is no cheat and wouldn't jump through hoops at floyds request and be his ***** and that floyds camp kept changing the demands and pac just ended up saying **** you i'll fight someone else then.
    This is how it went

    Floyd: do you agree to A if so we will fight
    Pac: yes I agree lets fight
    Floyd : erm okay but now we want A and B
    Pac : pushing your luck but yea okay i agree to A and B lets fight
    Floyd: erm erm yea okay but we want A B and C now
    Pac : yes yes i agree lets just fight
    Floyd: **** you we want A B and C and D now
    Pac : ah **** off then i'll just fight someone else

    Floyd : see I told you man he's a drugs cheat, proceeds to be on every camera in the world talking about pac and how he wouldn't fight blah blah blah
    Pac : Quietly goes about his business with his usual quiet dignity and class

    Lets see if boxing journalist today have the guts to do their jobs and question Pacroid with, "You cut the random drug testing line with Mayweather at 24 days. Why did you allow someone to draw blood from you for a physical 20 days out from the Clottey fight????

    I would bet you anything that Pac would deny anyone having drawn blood from him 20 days out from the Clottey fight!:yep

    Why is it people give celebrities a pass no matter what pieces of garbage they are? They defend there stance on everything they do. Floyd makes an ass of himself where ever he goes. Micheal Jackson was a good example, how can people allow people to behave like scum just because they are celebrities. Floyd has behaved like a ****wit for years and people like you defend him.

    1. Pacquiao has no history of ducking a fight.

    2. Pacquiao is not afraid to lose.... he has taken on fights where he's been underdog or is virtually given zero chance of winning.

    3. In Pacquiao, he left home at 14 years old to fend for himself in a 3rd world country with a 6th grade education.

    .... and people actually believe without a doubt that he's afraid of Floyd??:huh

    For a poster who claims to have common sense, I wonder why you do not know the differnce between a proper channel or proper way of doing things.

    Pac refused the Mayweather and Golden Boy/Girl Boxing Commission but not the Nevada Sports and Athletic Commission. And if you do not know the difference, you are more idiot than I actually think you are!

    Both boxers and both camps made unreasonable demands, Pacquiao with the $10 million per pound fine, and Mayweather with random blood testing. This means both camps are to blame.
    It doesn't make a difference whether Floyd agreed to Manny's stipulations but Manny wouldn't agree to Floyd's stipulations. Yeah Floyd agreed, fair play, but that doesn't necessarily mean Manny has to agree to Floyd's rules.
    In all honesty, I think it was down to Arum trying to gain the advantage in the negotiations. He had to settle for 50/50 in the money stakes so he tried to gain an advantage from something else. We all know Arum and Floyd aren't the best of friends, I just don't think Arum wanted Floyd dictating any of the rules .

    I think when they come down to negotiating next time (assuming both win next time out), they should get the blood testing out the way from the off. If Pacquiao has agreed for a 20 day cut off against Clottey, I think that would be a very reasonable starting point.

    we always knew that PAc never wanted to fight Floyd. PAc is lucky that Floyd even asked for the testing to begin with...

    :deal

    Un-****ing-belieavable.


    And these anti-Floyd or Pro-Pac people will defend this guy and his actions blindly. It doesn't matter how many inconsistencies come out of their actions.


    Can you imagine if Floyd had done that ****?

    Bull****. Floyd's behavior and how you perceive it has absolutely nothing to do with the issue. Stay focused.


    This is about Pac's flat out lies. You can try to hide behind the "Good Christian" or "came from a poor background" or "Bob Arum is at fault" excuses, but ultimately Pac is responsible for the lies that have come from his camp.


    Now... You want to address Pac and his lies? Or do you want to pull the same tired, lame-ass "Floyd is a scum" argument???
