Why Floyd Mayweather Jr. never fought Pacquiao?

youve twisted a fair bit of what i said, first of all of pacquio says something in an interview or espn or whatever why does floyd not say he lying and i want the fight, there recently he came out with aww he just wants money hes got marquez problems etc instead of that what are we ment to think, the sueing is grand hes defending accusations that floyd made with no proof there he made sure his side was put out there unlike floyd

I didnt say crazy either so why did you quote it, its pretty well documented that floyd had some atypical demands which suggests that hes making it tough for pacquio or believed he was doping, i agree it is fishy with pacquios doping and maybe he was and didn want to gte caught then but since then espically recently it seems as floyd doesnt want the fight

 

ditto.

 

PBF is the face of the sport he has less to gain from fighting Pac than Pac has to gain from fighting him. When you're at the top you can only go down.:deal

 

Floyd has always been a idiot on interviews and has responded in his own way even if it makes no sense he made attempts to answer. There is just this believe out there that Pac has been trying to make the fight happen which totally false. Pac has Bob as his promoter and pac has made no demands to Bob to make the fight happen. In all honesty I think both sides are sick of hearing about this fight and both are happy it has not happened. Both pac and floyd have said that they don't need each other to seal their legacies.

With the law suit? Common man that was complete diva move. Your talking about floyd and floyd Sr making accussations, 2 boxers with no high school diplomas and little education. These guys are all fighters and they act that way, the **** talk is part of the game. And pac taking them to court instead of just taking the test and making the fight happen was just a load of crap. Imagine if Mayorga was ever in the running to fight Pac, pac would of had him in prison for all the **** he talks. I never thought much of the Mayweathers accusing pac of roids, that was their opinion & the test was to fight floyd not to prove your innocence, floyd was also subjecting him self to the test. It would of been crazy if floyd was singling pac out but he was also going to go through testing.

In my honest opinion the only time the idea of this fight mattering was the first round of negotiations when everything was agreed upon but the drug testing. This is the closest it ever got to being made and it's made public and no secret that Pac did not accept the 14 day cut off. I say "crazy" because you said there were a lot of demands from floyd. I don't recall any crazy demands from him and the only demand that does get brought up was him asking for testing.

 

Do your homework! Floyd agreed to fight Margarito, Bob Arum went all cheap.atsch

 

you cant say that its totally false that pac and arum wanted the fight, i know its impossible to know what exactly is going on at times but surely arum must have wanted the fight at several stages, i mean it really seems like that and makes lots of sense. and you cant just give the mayweathers a pass becuase their uneducated or whatever they were hurtung the pac brand and they may have been right its not really trash talking. when your on about mayweather not making sense its always in a bad way where he seems like he doesnt want to fight pacquio and its usually in an arrogant kind of way or talking about the drugs. I thought there was a decent bit of demands and the drugs thing was new enough, obviusoly it doesnt excuse pacquio but its a thought out obstacle by mayweather,
Then just from seeing the two guys act it just seems like floyd would have an easier time ducking and add this in with nearly all the media and boxers insiders etc its hard to look past it

 

Of course pac and floyd both wanted the fight at one point. The idea of either being scared is a stupid one. The problem was drug testing with simply pac did not want to take. I respect your opinion on the law suit, but in my opinion I thought that was the dumbest move ever. If we go back in history a lot worse has been said but always handled in the ring. Muhammad Ali would call Joe Frazier a uncle tom, Mayorga called odlh a ******, zab threatened some opponents with with "hood threat" and it goes on and on. Barrera punching morales in interviews, but these guys are all fighters and justice was served in the ring like it was supposed to be. A lot of boxing analysts even believed it was just some tactic to hype up the fight. I don't agree with it all.

 

If u think Pac is the only fight anybody every wanted to see him against out of 47 fights then ur dumb as hell!

Mayweather didnt fight him because he didnt take the test. its very simple, i wouldnt fight that dude either

 

Floyd aint the richest athlete ever. Lol

 

Because Floyd is smart!

 

Bull****!!! Floyd took less $$$$ to fight Baldomir because he was scared shitless of Tony Margarito

 

8 million to fight Margarito with an extension to Top Rank

8 million and a dollar to fight Badly for a belt and a chance to fight Oscar

Look it up bro.. Don't take our word for it.. Ask Bob himself...

 

Being fast does not make you skilled !!

Kahn maybe fast but it would do little to help him against a fighter like floyd.

 

Floyd did agree to fight Margarito for 8 million but he also wanted Hatton and Cotto also as well and Oscar.

Bob agreed to pay flody 8 million or so for Hatton and 7 million or so for Cotto, with no chance of fighting Oscar.

Floyd thought Bob was under biding him for the Hatton, cotto fight with no chance of fighting Oscar, floyd opted out of his contract with TR.

 

Truth = Appreciated :happy
