This is a fight that the whole world as well as the boxing world wants to see happen .
For sombody who loves and spends money like Floyd it amazing he is unwilling to cash in on the biggest payday of his life.
If the fight was to happen I think Floyd would be favorate but it seems that he is unwilling to risk his unbeaten record.
Only in boxing...:(
hey at least he has the 0 to "protect", what's Haye's excuse not to fight Wlad?
have said before in another thread - am reserving judgment till after Roger Mayweather's court case
is that next week does anyone know ??
funny thing about it is when he was interviewed he never mentioned it. just said something about relaxing and enjoying the time with his family.Quote:

Floyd is scared and ducking pac so let pac fight someone else.....everybody hates floyd yet all these fighters keep trying to use his name to elevate themselves. Talk about him like shit in one hand, but yet cry about not getting to fight the guy in the other. What happened to fighting the best, floyd by all this ranting and crying ain't the best so go find and fight the guy who is. I don't see the big deal. The sad thing is as big of a prick as floyd is i bet he is sitting back just loving all this attention, and we the fans keep constantly falling for it. While we sit and talk about fights that aren't happening there are fights that are happening that are getting no shine. One way or another floyd haters keep this guy at the top of discussions everywhere.........silly. People seem to belive that like 3rd grade they can tease floyd into fighting or not fighting. Stop letting this guy get free marketing with all the floyd this floyd that. In the ring i actually like the guy....but even i'm getting tired of hearing about him
The thing that pisses me off the most is how the entire Mayweather camp is handling the negotiations. They haven't said sh*t!! If Floyd doesn't want to fight again this year, so be it, but just come out and say it!! If he doesn't want to fight without Roger in his corner fine. The only comment to come from their camp after Arum's deadline passed was that they hadn't been any negotiations at all. WTF. It just makes them (especially Ellerbe) look pathetic.
Every time Manny fights it could potentially hurt the negotiations as well but what's Pacman to do?? Sit on his ass and wait for Floyd? What happens if he fights Margarito and the PPV doesn't do well? Then we got to go back to the table for Floyd-Pacman fight and it fu$k's with the numbers again. What if Manny loses? The entire slice of the Floyd-Pacman money gets lowered as well and once again were right back to arguing over the split.
Like it or not the ability to not get this fight signed is clearly (in my mind) the fault of the Mayweather camp. It's retarded on their part.
If Floyd not agreeing to fight Manny has anything to do with Roger Mayweathe's case, then why didn't he say so? Do you know why he didn't? I believe it is because he is afraid that it might later come back to bit him in the butt. What if Roger is cleared? He would not have any excuse left to duck Pac.Quote:
