Floyd is in a nobody else is left to fight situation. What's behind door Number 1: Pac Door Number 2: Pac Door Number 3: Mosley Pac doesn't need to go to Mayweather because the public's perception, and rightly so, is that he's the type of guy who will fight anybody. Mayweather doesn't have that kind of benefit. He's outta options. The way to negotiate with Mayweather is to make him come to you. If Pac goes to him, Pac is sellin out his portion of the fight, and it's easier for Mayweather to make negotiations. It's a power play. Everybody is gonna call Mayweather a ***** if he fights anyone but Mosley, Pac or maybe Paul Williams.
Even if he does it doesnt gurantee a fight I mean Mosley in Mayweather's opinion disrespected him in a major way and it wasnt enough. Pacquiao looked perfect on Saturday it wasnt the struggle Mayweather was hoping for IMO. Floyd needs something to hang on to for him to make big fights being age, weight or whatever. Pacquiao shows no vuneribilty right now and that scares Mayweather.
I thought about the same! Excellent post! Thats why arum wants negotiate in silence! Thats the best way dont take it to the newspapers! Let them handle it on their ones!
Can't argue with that. Manny beat a top welter convincingly, was never hurt, and looks great in Floyd's weight division. Why negotiate against yourself by acting like you need a Floyd Mayweather to cement your ATG status? Makes sense....
Pac will get paid, and he doesn't come off like he really cares about the money. He knows he'll make his money, and if chasing Floyd makes him come to him, so be it.
Pac don't need to be callin out Floyd right now. Let Manny enjoy his victory & Celebrate the history he just made with his family and countrymen. He needs to clear his head of all that for the moment, Let Arum and Roach deal with who's next.
