Mayweather Talks: Not Interested in Pacquiao Right Now - Boxing News
fight still not completely off.
also bradley calls out pac in another article.
Mayweather is lame. He has the oppurtunity to make the biggest pay day of his career in the twilight of his career and he wants to "spend time with his family"? Why not just do that after November and buy them a few extra special presents while he is feeling flush?
Mayweather has ducked Pacquiao now and it's still the same old :blahbla::blahbla::blahbla:
I have no real desire to see Pac fight Arum stablehorses. Margarito is a dirty cheat and Pac has already beaten Cotto. Why not Williams, Martinez or even Bradley. These are all preferable fights for me. As for Mayweather? Well, he has comeback and beaten a LW and a seriously inactive and old Mosley.
I couldn't care less about him and his career. He has made his choices and they will reflect on him when it's all over. His career at the higher weights has been smoke and mirrors as far as I am concerned.
This should be a interesting thread :p
Luckily, I happen to have my "Floyd-to-English" dictionary handy for cases like this.
Floyd: I don't want to rush things right now.
Translation: I'm having WAY too much fun keeping the fans dangling at the end my string. Why risk my beloved "0"? I'm the center of attention without doing JACK, and I can keep claiming to be the world's p4p in the process. Life is GOOD.
You have quite a good translator, I thought that Uncle Roger's problems might have been a part of his pending answer but now that he says that... Quite ironic for a guy who went a year and a half away to come back for 2 fights and now requiring again "time with family".Quote:

I 2nd the notion that this thread is going to get very interesting (or verbally violent).
I don't even know what to think anymore. I used to think both promoters were just delaying to build up hype, then I started to think Mayweather is the one delaying it himself cause of his massive ego, now I'm starting to believe it has something to do with Roger and his charges. In the end, I'm just losing interest and am tired off all the BS that's going along with making this damn fight happen already. If they won't fight each other, throw them in the ring with someone so we can see them in some shape or form. They're both getting old and all this posturing is taking time away from seeing these two all-time greats.
this drama is getting annoying already, if the fight happens cool, if not well whatever i'm already over it, they've turned the damn fight into a fucking soap opera
....on one hand this is supposidly the biggest fight ever. The two best, all time great fight blah blah, then in the same breath the same people call the guy a pussy a ducker so on. If floyd is so horrible and people discredit and hate the guy so much. Then what's the big deal ? Get off floyds nutsacks and let manny fight someone else. Floyd's crap so hype up another better fight and fighter. All the floyd being scared or pac for the matter is silly. Why would floyd be any more scared of pac than he is anyone else ?? He could loose to anyone he fights. If he were scared he wouldn't fight at all. This is a sport of inches mitchell, judah, baldo, oscar, ricky any of these guys could have beat him. So screw floyd let pac fight margo or cotto, everyone thinks those fights would be better since floyd is supposidly scared, then let's move on.
Gotta agree.Too old and too cynical for this diva runway walk by these guys.Might be off topic but this is a part of why I'm becoming more convinced that "24/7" features and the like are not really good for boxing in the long run.What we have playing out here is a reality show of the worst kind.Way too much posing for the camera...it's all become a catch phrase.Just fight....or move outta tha way!Quote:

but if Roger gets off and then the fight is still not made I will let rip some serious verbals ;)
All I hear is: "I already worked this year"
Lazy bastard.
Damn, I wish I could say that and be done with work til next year...Quote:

This is so old and boring, this is not boxing discussion, this is soap opera discussion. I hope that Pac gets a diff opponent quickly. Then retires so we can all say Mayweather ducked him and hang that over his career forever.
I always gave Floyd the benefit of the doubt when it came to his opponents (except Marquez) but if either man goes without this fight, it will hurt Floyd's legacy more. That's just my opinion. Even though Floyd stood in the shadows, Pac and his team made it very clear how much they wanted this fight. Now Floyd can continue to use the "all roads leads to Floyd Mayweather," "I don't call anyone out, they call me out," or "I'm not looking behind me, I'm on top" lines he wants cause Pac is the one giving in to Floyd's ego.Quote:

Well floyd has legit resons for not wanting to fight anyone at the mo what with Roger's legal problems.
Floyd is still the best pound for pound fighter on the planet. If pac wanted this fight he should have taken it months back instead of shitting himself about the drug tests and backing out to fight clottey.
This could easily go down in history as the greatest fight that never happened. If Roger doesn't go to prison Floyd will be ready to fight but something tells me pacquiao won't be. One of the combatants will always some issue that will keep them apart.
I'd be very interested to see what floyd does if roger get's sent down. He may retire.
Did that reason come from Floyd or his team or is it your assumption? Just asking.Quote:

We all know Bob Arum is not really your most honest person out there (a guy who defends a cheat, go figure). I am not sure who to really trust in all this or who's saying the truth or lying:rolleyes:.
People said Floyd was afraid of ODLH, after some long drama, they met in the ring. People said Floyd was avoiding Mosley and after going back and forth, they met in the ring.
i think all of this misinformation concerning mayweather jr. from bob arum is an attempt to save face for pacquiao. why in the world would pacquan alledgedly agree to do up to the fight drug tests now instead of six months or so ago? the fact is this, bob arum knew roger mayweather's trial was coming up and so he made up this crapola about pacroido wanting the fight now? arum knows mayweather jr. will not fight anyone without his trainer, roger. this is just an attempt to discredit mayweather jr. and make it look like he's afraid of pacroido, where in fact, it was pacroido who was afraid of taking a itty bitty blood test before. and the sad thing is, pacroido's fans are eating all this crapola up. just goes to show how ignorant and uninformed and shallow his fans are!!!
Arum is definitely a snake. He is a promoter. I just don't like how Ellerbe is trying to save face here. How can they say we didn't hear anything about negotiations when all this talk about what Pac and his team is willing to do to make the fight is out there in all the boxing sites. So if you hear Pac submitting to your demands and you currently aren't in formal negotiations then you wouldn't follow up on it? C'mon, Ellerbe and the rest of the Golden Boy team is just playing dumb...Quote:

This is the biggest money making fight out there but Floyd has his head stuck up his arse like its not going on.
No wonder Floyd keeps taking the easy options, he ain't as good as some believe or he's pretended to be.
What a fake.
Totally. You can't have it both ways. Both have ducked out of fights against the biggest possible matchups in their respective divisions.Quote:

Floyd in recent times has been more smoke, mirrors and fraud than the greatest fighter of our time. Pac has steamrolled ahead in this regard.
No it's stating the blindingly obvious.Quote:

Steve Farhood & Bill Dettloff made some interesting points, the main one being that 75% of what we think we know is probably pure bullshit. The person I want to hear from is Ross Greenberg because we was apparently the 'negotiator' so he can shed light on what did or didn't happen.
They also interestingly mentioned 3 other occasions when the #1 & #2 P4P guys have fought in the past. Hearns-Hagler, Spinks-Tyson & Whitaker-Chavez. On none of those occasions did the fight take place when people first called for it, with Tyson-Spinks being the shortest, happening a year after talks began. I mean Hearns-Hagler took 3 years before they finally fought.
Floyd will beat Pac man so really do not know why he is not signing, it just does not make sense.
Ever think he may want to see what happens with his Uncle Roger's case in August? Why would he sign for a fight and then risk losing his main trainer? You could say that Roger went to jail when he fought Baldomir but Pacquiao is no Baldomir, and Floyd wouldn't want to spare any expense. Arum is making all this noise while in reality not trying to make a deal with Mayweather at all as Ellerbe has asked Arum to prove he even tried to reach Mayweather, and so far Arum has been quiet. What Arum wanted to do was like a smart promoter lead people to think one fight isn't happening so that they can get you to order them fighting someone else in 'support' of them. Heck it worked with Clottey vs Pacquiao.
Notice how Arum loves to say how Pacquiao will fight anyone and he tries to make these fights, but it seems like its only Mayweather as the guy outside of his stable he would allow Pacquiao to fight?
Bring up Timothy Bradley or Paul Williams and he will say they can't fill arenas and he gives out "no free rides" and then tries to make us buy that a rematch with Cotto or a Margarito fight makes more sense.
Don't know how long people will buy into Arums BS.
So, it means Floyd didn't say it .....Quote:

At one point in time the rumor was that Floyd needed the money so what's the problem, sign on the dotted line and call Manny names until fight night. If you screw around with the fan's budget remember this Floyd there are other fighters that hold our interest and your fifteen minutes of fame isn't worth it's weight in sh** if you don't fight often and with the proper opponents. You are not boxing you are a by product just like those ingredients in the so called all meat dog foods.
I find it hilarious that people are saying "Floyd better hurry before Pacquiao picks a better fight etc"
I bet Floyd is rushing to the phone with the knowledge that Arum won't let Pacquiao within 100 yards of Tim Bradley or Paul Williams because they 'can't fill arenas' and is making his next prospect of fights with Cotto or Margarito.
Oh yes, a Cotto rematch or a Margarito fight with Pacquiao would just leave Mayweather in thr dust so badly..
Floyd doesn't have to rush anything and Arum knows that too.
@Majesty
I could agree the Floyd seems cannot be rush well i say its talked for a couple of weeks, a months i guess have already been on negotiation at first but just collapse , Boxing community, fans are already want this to make it happen even you i guess
Just wondering why he's back in an instant prior to Hatton-Pac fight when Marquez want to challenge him? do you think he's back for almost a 2 year lay off to challenge a lightweight champion to be be back for p4p stature or just for easy money? How bout Floyd-Pac can you call that an easy money?
Correct me if i'm wrong but what i see the Floyd-Pac is more then just what he did to Marquez or Shane, Floyd knows this that's why he was called Money May :D unless he didn't really want to fight.
Floyd is the biggest dickhead in the sport. He could fight 3 times a year and earn fucking crazy money againsed the top guys, but no, he don't wanna lose his fucking '0'
Same old same old
Maybe, Floyd's hands cannot fight more than once a year?
