    When team Pac and Arum did their media blitz after the Pacquaio v Mayweather negotiations had failed they had the world thinking Mayweather was scared, everywhere I went on the streets people where disappointed in Mayweather sayin he was scared. O how the tide has changed, making my way around the heart of the east coast of the states (Philly, DC, NY, NJ) I noticed the talk on the streets and boxing gyms have changed it went from disappointment in Mayweather to urban casual fans saying Pac doesn't fight black boxers (their casual fans so they don't no any better), but the true fight fans are talking about how Pac beats up on slow fighters after draining them. It's funny how things change in just a couple of years.
    I remember being in gyms and everybody picking Cotto, and after Pac beat Cotto he was the **** in the gyms, now when I go to the gyms no one is impressed with the Margarito win (which I thought was decent comp), are are disappointed he's taking on old man Mosley on as opposed to the other two.

    A couple reason I think this is happening

    1. Arum and Roach are making bad decision for him, and fighting Mosley just makes everybody think that the theory of him fighting done fighters is true.

    2. Everybody in Team Pac's corner becoming media hores.


    3. Recent quotes that just don't make sense, like Roach saying he wants Martinez at 147, but won't give Marquez a fight at 140 seems like a double standard.


    4. Manny talking in public with out his PR being present, cause he ends up saying dumb **** like -

    "That’s why I made the concession to take anything [blood tests] he wants at any time. Even during the fight before the sixth round if he wanted! What else can I do? I hope we get the fight done soon. Let’s get it on."


    saying you'll take the drug test in-between rounds after the negotiations have failed and in-light of Mayweather's legal troubles is like saying (video below)

    What do ya think and how are views of Pac in your town changed if they have at all?

    I won't be surprised if in a couple years Pac makes some cuts on his team

    No, nothing has changed. That is just your perception from talking to a 0.000000000000000000000001% of the boxing fans.

    I think that you'll find that Mayweather has copyrighted that saying for use on his new line of merchandise which will include t-shirts, caps, mugs, lighters, boxer shorts, washing up liquid bottles and clothes pegs. I'd remove your post unless you want to see your ass in court.

    I was sent a cease and desist letter from his lawers instructing me to remove all mentiosn of that quote from my post, so I though I should give you the heads up

    Well your right that a lot of members of team pac are media whores, i dont give a **** about ariza or that konzcs opinion. only roach and pac are relevant,a rum is a snake anyway.
    But pacquiao getting critisized does not mean mayweather is not a coward, most people still blame him for ducking pacquiao and tahts how it is.

    Its actually the other way around buddy. Floyd is the one losing all credibility and fans due to his reluctance to fight Pac. He wont even put out a statement. That boy is hanging with Bin Laden.

    Nothoing has changed.....the same people now saying Pac dosent fight Black fighters and beats up drained fighters are the same people who were saying he was on drugs during the Mayweather negotiations.

    Nothing has changed at all, the *****s are still the same *****s and the *******s are still the same *******s.

    You should have just took a massive **** on your keyboard and posted it.

    That would have been more productive.

    And funnier.

    If you're around the DC area, than I'm from around your way (Virginia). I've also lived in Brooklyn the previous 6 years, and just got back from a visit last wknd....and I must say most of my peoples still and continue to believe that Floyd is a gutless ducking ***** and that Pac really has nothing left to prove. But touche, to each his own.

    I live in Brooklyn, so I am unsure what he is talking about.
    Both fighters are get massive respect here. If you phish for it, yeah you get criticism, but that is only because everyone wants to give their 2 cents. At the end of the day, they are considered great fighters and people buy their fights.
