    pac sent koncz to floyd directly but floyd said he is only there to take his picture. then floyd put another demand to drop the suit before he starts negotiating. so floyd went to twitter and fighthype next...

    Roach saw flaws in cotto during that fight, hence why he chose him as an opponent for Manny. # CherryPICK

    So given that Mayweather and the world think Marquez beat Pac, why should that fight take place either?

    Ever made a topic not about Pac or mayweather?

    ellerbe said that cotto was a non-draw back in 2008 and floyd instead went to WWE and fought the big show. duck

    Who the **** is Koncz? He's a ****ing nobody. That would be like me saying PBF sent one of the Watson boys to see Pac.:deal

    Because it would be the fourth in a four-part series? As opposed to taking on someone who you feel isn't at your level -- and whom you don't have a history of fighting in the past?

    No, in my 5 years or so with this account, every thread I have ever started was either about Pacquiao or Mayweather. Honest. Fingers crossed and everything.

    The fight would have been a lot different had Clottey not intentionally butted the **** out of Cotto early on. Plus, a 50% Cotto still won. I say he was 50% because this was a time he had no trainer.

    It was a pretty close fight and Clottey did block most of Cotto's best work and score very cleanly.

    It doesn't make Cotto a poor opponent choice for Manny or Mayweather

    Yet you guys always put his quotes in arguments about pac/floyd like he is extremely relevant, yet now he isnt when it doesnt fit the agenda.
    Tomorrow if he says pac is ducking floyd he will be relevant again.

    Would make a difference from Pacquiao waiting for Mayweather to drill someone before fighting.

    De La Hoya, Hatton, Mosely, even fighting Marquez after Floyd destroyed him.

    so when koncz said that they have accepted only 7 days cut-off, you are all over him and believe him more than arum and pacquiao. but when he was sent to the mayweather camp to jumpstart a possible negotiation, you guys would say that he is a nobody.

    well arum had already talked to haymon via greenburg before but floyd just took a vacation. so now, pacquiao is making sure that they are talking to floyd directly. but floyd said that koncz was just taking his picture and pulled another demand before starting a negotiation.

    Different issues, Koncz knows what Manny has agreed too as Manny's manager. He has no power to negotiate on behalf of Bob Arum as he isn't a TOp Rank representative

    Who knows though maybe Konkz is really a Top Rank employee and maybe Arum wants to get Mayweather away from Golden Boy and Al Haymon so he can make money out of him. Maybe that's why Konkz was there. We don't know what goes on behind the scenes

    What part of Pac doesn't want anything to do with PBF don't you understand? The guy is seeking a 4th fight with a 38 year old JMM. He also is suppose to be suffering from a cut that would keep him from fighting PBF or anyone else but he's about to fight JMM again.

    True but Manny did the same thing,there is an interview where he talks about not fighting Shane and saying out of Shane,Margarito,Cotto that Cotto would be the easiest fight and how Cotto is not the same fighter so Pac is also guilty of that.
