Pacquiao calls Mayweather coward for refusing to fight

[g3org3]

1st off I'm a huge maywather fan I truly believe he's the best ever. Saying that i think he needs the pacman fight more than pacman needs it, if mayweather doesn't fight him, that's what everyone is going to remember him for and now pacmans willing to jump through hoops to make this fight, if it don't happen it does look like floyds ducking him. Floyds says he's all about making that money, so if that's the case fight pacman and make a record high payday, who gives a shit if arum gets a piece of the pie.

We know Floyd is highly favored to beat Pacquiao but I still want to see a Floyd vs Pacquiao fight compared to seeing Floyd vs Khan or Floyd vs Maidana fights.

Same here

G3...You really think Mayweather needs Pac...?....With all due respect my Friend...Have you been paying attention...?...Have you seen the recent number`s for their respective PPV`S..?

I would bet that Mayweather could fight Brandon Rios right now fresh off his lost to Pac,...and he would Easily double the PPV numbers of Pac/Rios...

No he doesn't need pacman for the money but he sure needs him for his legacy. Floyds wants to be remembered as the best ever that's impossible if you don't fight the biggest threat of your era

I hear ya,..but,...Mayweather will go in the HOF first ballod,...will be regarded as One of the very Best to ever lace em up,..and if he retires undefeated....[][]...He`s not going to have any "Legacy" issues...Some will point out that he never fought Pac,...but then other`s will also point out that Pac had been KO`D ..What..?...Two,Three times in his carear,was beat by A battle worn E.Morales,fair and square,fought real close with Bradley,...and for those in the real know,..it will also be pointed out that Bob Arum was Pac`s promoter...Mayweather cannot make Arum sign A deal...and is not willing to concede to much to Pac,due to his recent marketability decline,Arum would have to be more willing to concede to the FACT that Floyd is firmly in the Drivers seat,regardless if he like`s it or not...I dont believe the fight has A chance of happening,..until Pac is free of Arum...If Pac was not promoted by Arum,and was his own boss,like Mayweather...Pac would be Mayweather`s next fight..

It doesn't matter who's beat pacman floyd hasn't. I believe floyd would beat him quite easy but if they never fight the real boxing fans will not forget this. Let's be honest pacman and arum would jump at the chance to fight floyd now so if the fight don't happen, I'm blaming maywather and I'm a huge mayweather fan.

Well,we dont know what.."Jumping through hoops" really means...Mayweather is in A position to flat out dictate terms for the fight...Neither fighter needs the other One for legacy...Both are on record stateing this repeatedly......Arum will not give in to Mayweather in negotiations according with were the Two fighter`s are at in their respective carears,...On principal alone...We are not talking about A couple of Guy`s who are strapped for Money here.....There is bad blood to say the least between Mayweather and Arum...When Pac leaves Arum,Mayweather will fight him right away,just like he did Cotto...

Lol a couple of guys who are not strapped for money ? Pacman has serious tax issues. As for legacy mayweather does need pacman, mayweather wants to go down as the greatest ever and that's impossible without beating pacman. I know there's bad blood with floyd and arum but arum knows if pacman gets beat again this fights probably gone forever and he's ready to cash out on pacman. This fight needs to happen sep this year or may next year if floyd wants to cement his legacy he better step up and make this fight happen cause it's him alone that's holding it up.

I'm wondering if there's an instance where Mayweather also called Pacquiao a coward??

Been awhile since I have posted here...Just want to give my 2 cent on May/Pac

First off...I`m A big fan of both fighter`s,with that being said...It`s very hard for me to believe that anyone would think that either of these Two are "scared" of One another..Silly really...Mayweather is A absolute Boxing prodigy..Maybe the very best to ever enter A Boxing ring,if he is not he is certainly in the discussion,has been fighting his entire life,has fought,smaller,bigger,faster,stronger,longer,talle r...and has seen it all...Absolute dedicated student of the game....

Pac,is A pure fighter from the top of his head,to the bottom of his toes,and comes from A place where he(Pac)would probably fight A world class opponent every week if HBO would pay him..Pac has been fighting like Mayweather since he was A Kid,..and is A Great fighter in his own right...Point is...They are not afraid of each other.....For those who say Mayweather is scared to lose his "0"...That tells me you are A novice fight fan,who has not watched enough Boxing to know that.....Boxing is not pre-scripted..Too many huge upsets to even list...Mayweather could have lost to any One of his opponents...Moseley could have KO`d him when they fought,..Canelo with his size advantage could have done the same,or Corrales,who was A murderous puncher @130...Point is neither One is "Scared" of the other...When A big fight like this does not take place there are reasons for it,and the reason for this fight not happening is simple....Bob Arum...

It is no secret that Bob used to promote Mayweather,and DelaHoya,during that time Arum had A huge stable of well paid fighter`s,but that was not to last,Oscar flew the ship,huge Cash Cow gone there,and then Mayweather in the smartest move he ever made,bought out his contract,and then the Two went on to have the biggest PPV in history...without Uncle Bob....Arum latched onto Pac and turned him into A huge PPV attraction...Makeing tons of money fighting all the fighter`s in the Top Rank stable...In house Money,nothing new there...Arum absolutely despises Oscar and Floyd,and after promoting Mayweather as long as he did,Arum knows better than anybody else,that the One fighter in the entire sport of Boxing that is capable of beating A world class fighter like Pac,with the type of dominateing myth busting Ass whupping is Mayweather,who uses none other then Oscar DelaHoya as his promoter...Now why would Arum want to risk his Money Maker by sacrificeing him to Oscar and Floyd..?

Answer,...He would`nt,and so he did what any promoter would do,he built Pac up against his own fighter`s and kept the Money in house...As of now,..Pac has exhausted all of his options,and provided some great fight`s along the way...At this point it is very clear...Arum is ready to cash out with Pac,it`s been A hell of A run...So know Pac is willing to take drug test,when he had every excuse in the book to not take them before,we are not hearing any Bullshit about temporary outdoor stadiums or the rest of the excuses Arum has made on Pac`s behalf...Pac and Arum need Mayweather at this point...Pac`s PPv numbers in his last fight put the writeing on the wall....And,..as A added bonus...Look what Arum has done to his Prized Fighter...Pac`s Bank account`s frozen in his own Country,Tax Dog`s here in the States barking up his tree..?....Really Sad...Arum should be very ashamed of how he has cheated Pac....I understand why the fight has not happenned...and it is not because they fear each other...

Your crazy if you think Floyd isnt afraid to lose his "0". Of course all the other fighters you mentioned had a chance to KO Floyd. But none really had the total package to actually out box Floyd.

Im not saying Pac can out box Floyd, im saying that if anyone can its him. His speed, footwork, volume of punches, punch selection and etc is unlike anything Floyd has seen.

I dont neccessarily disagree with everything else you said, but I definately disagree with that.

Its at least one of the main reasons this fight hasnt happened if not the main reason imo.

Even Floyd himself is saying he dont want to fight Pac because his health is more important. He says with Pacs PED use there is no reason for him to fight him and risk injury. Thats a bull shit excuse that covers up the real reason.... Hes afraid. Afraid to lose that "0".

The only other possibility is Floyd is telling the truth about why he doesnt want to fight Pac. And if thats the case I take my hate off to him for his honesty but I still think he handled it badly with all his accusations, even if they are true.

He would have been better to just let it not happen without all that so he wouldnt look like a pre-madonna. If Pac would have started in first with calling Floyd out then call him out on it. The way Floyd handled it tho makes him look like a pre-madonna and kinda scared. Made it look more like he is just coming up with excuses.

They will both have legacy issues as it will never be settled who is the greatest of this era.

And Pac's team was allowed to personally negotiate with Floyd in order to make the fight happen.

[KananKrus]

What's wrong with being a coward if health issue's the concern... Respect the man for what he believes, for what he stands for, and what legacy shall he be remembered with! Floyd Joy!

Real translation from Pac: I need financial assistance. Even If I lose I win !!!!

[bradlee180]

1st off I'm a huge maywather fan I truly believe he's the best ever.

Well, he's not...and you're obviously a young dude to make such a statement, probably an American.


He's a very good defensive boxer, one of the best defensive boxers there's been.

But if you're talking best fighter all-time, he's not that all.
