Floyd "The reason I won't fight Pacquiao"

[fan johnny]

I've just read this article from boxinginsider and my suspicion about Mayweather is confirmed. While Pac is CALLING him out.... he on the other hand is trying to make this as an impossible future fight.

Floyd Mayweather Demands $100 million for Pacquiao Fight | BoxingInsider.com

Why don't we have a donation in this forum and raise $ 100 million for Mayweather.

Who's with me?

I have a penny collection.

As a floyd fan or at least former fan, he isn't scared of fighting pac. He does, however, want to begged to do it... To be dragged out of his mansion my hordes of fans that will boost his ego and tell him he can do it. Then after he does it, he wants more glad handing and statues erected in his honor and keys to every city he lives in for the rest of his life and all this nonsense. He seems to forget that he turned his back on the fans with this "money" business before his fans turned their back on him waiting to come out of another temporary retirement to fight someone beat them and demonstrate his supremacy.
No one is saying he has to fight every 2 months, but when he does fight it proves little because the fight everyone wants keeps getting put to the side so he can throw money at the camera... talk crap from a webcam and try whatever else to draw attention to himself outside the ring for months or years. He makes exits just so he can make an entrance later and announce he's back and everyone can love him again. No one doubts the man's skill, just his intent. He does little to act like a serious fighter who is chasing glory the old fashioned way.
He's paid off his debt, has a house a family and disposable income. He's lost his reason to fight and wants what the other guy has. Adoration... Kind of hard to earn that when you're a talented but fickle primadonna with a big mouth that alienates fans with stuff like racist comments. He could have been happy being a fighter, but he wanted to be a personality... .

I quit holding my breath a long time ago for a PAC-PBF fight, and I could care less what Mayweather's reason for not fighting Pac is, or if this fight ever happens. As far as i'm concerned Mayweather isn't relevant to boxing anymore.

This is exactly how I feel about the Mayweather right now.

I now couldn't care less if he fights Pacquiao or even if he fights again.

He's very boring these days & if he wants to be a celebrity boxer, just having the odd fight every couple of years against anyone but Manny, then he should just get on with doing that & stop boring fight fans with his waffle.

I'm with mayweather. If he beat manny everyone would dismiss it and still criticise.
The public and all on this forum are to greedy. Mayweather dosnt care. And manny is one dimensional and a one trick pony

I don't doubt some would do that but it is not the fans as a whole and a completely wracked way to thing. He would prove himself if he did fight Pacquiao and would win more boxing fans because of it. It would do more for his name legacy as long as he is honest and even cement him as an ATG if he beat Pacquiao.

I would love for Floyd to fight Pac. It would be great for boxing and an intriguing fight that would engage boxing fans for months upon end.

The thing I would love more than that, is for Floyd to just fight!!!! Floyd always had amazing talent. In the last half decade he hasn't displayed it nearly enough. It makes no sense to me. He could fight more. It would mean even more money and if those fights had been against very worthy opponents, it would have gone a long way towards helping him get the admiration of fans for his efforts in the ring (that he really desires).

Unfortunately time counts and keeps on counting and there is no fights for Floyd. Isn't the point of a great artist or athlete to produce as much as they can while at the height of their abilities!!!!! Too bad no one ever taught Floyd that.

Why do you think that Mayweather would be criticised & dismissed for fighting & beating the ONE guy that every fight fan in the world wants him to take on?

To be honest I think floyds legacy is pretty much cemented. I think pacquiao needs floyd more than floyd needs pac.

All these old bums manny keeps beating up in one sided predictable contests aren't doing anything to boost his status.

Its a shit time in boxing and theres no one of worth for either man to fight apart from each other. And right now I think that theres no point in floyd fighting manny becasue if he won people would just say he beat up a smaller guy blah blah blah....

and you're the only one who truly believes that Floyd's legacy is cemented and Pacquaio is still blurry.

Are you Floyd Gayweather?

How anyone could say that Pacs resume with out a doubt is better then Mayweathers is beyond me.

Well you said it!

Its clear to all but the most loyal Mayweather fans Floyd is the reason the fight has not happened.

Pac-Man has just carried on without him and has become the Man that the whole world recognises as the P4P No. 1.

Mayweather will always be known as the man who ducked the Pac-Man.

Also remembered as the guy that knocked Ricky Hattons head into the turnbuckle. Both are great fighters with great legacys. Who you think is better is purely your opinion. To call either not great is bullshit.

Personally, I think that Floyd forgot with all his demands with the price of his purse is that we the the fans can only put up with just so much bullshit. Floyd, shit or get off the pot. It's one complaint after another and to read or listen to your crap puts a dent in my aspirin budget. I don't know what he plans to do but there are many other fighters that work their butts off and put what money they have where their mouth is.
