    Always gave Floyd the benefit of the doubt, especially with this whole Pacquiao ordeal.

    However, if Mayweather's next fight is not against Pacquaio, I will be convinced that Mayweather is a coward and a ducker.

    Only circumstance I kind of understand is an Ortiz rematch, just because the ending was so controversial.

    What say you?

    If he fought Ortiz again this year, I'd understand
    If Ortiz is a 12 month away fight, I wouldn't.

    Pacquiao and Arum already agreed to Floyd's demand, its up to Floyd now. Or Floyd will create another road block?

    In that case, I think if Mayweather fights another fighter without giving the Pac shot a real consideration then yes, I think he really believes Pac will kick his ass and is therefore ducking him. Same goes for Pac if he fights someone else without attempting a fight with Floyd.

    Ortiz is rich now, he never has to fight again for his entire life! He does need to take acting lessons! Pac refuses to take a dive?! Is that the reason Void refuses to fight Pac?!

    People should just not pay for any fights he is involved in if it isn't Pac.

    If he fought say, Sergio Martinez, I wouldn't have a problem with it. I wouldn't mind seeing him beat Amir Khan either for that matter.

    I really don't see the Pacquiao fight happening until Bob Arum decides it is ok for him. I've always believed that neither Mayweather or Pacquiao have any problem fighting each other, but I do believe Arum has a lot of control over Pacquiao's career and did not want the fight to happen before. Arum wants to keep the money in house and make sure Pacquiao stays on the winning track. A fight with Mayweather will most likely end with a Manny loss, and Bob Arum knows this all too well as he used to promote Mayweather.

    We'll see what happens in the future. I think when Bob Arum feels he has maximized Pacquiao's earning potential, he's going to cash out and throw him to Mayweather for a final payday. I don't think Bob Arum believes Pacquiao has much of a chance in that fight despite what he says for the camera.

    Unless it's Martinez at 154 pounds, I'm not buying it. I haven't actually bought a Mayweather PPV since Hatton. I'll just find a place to watch another one of these Mayweather vs B fighter bouts, but I wouldn't care if I missed it. Same goes for Pacquiao.

    I don't understand how you can put ALL the blame on Arum when you have quotes that read like this....
    As for Floyd’s future, Roger seems very much uncertain, but pointed out that WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is unlikely to be next in line.
    “I don’t know. I know he aint going to fight Pacquiao,” said Roger. “So, I don’t know who he’s going to fight but I’m sure somebody will fight Floyd. He fought all the biggest names in the sport of boxing.”
