Mayweather: "If Manny wants it, I'll pay Juan to step aside"

I really think people are placing a bit too much importance on this comment. I don't think it was a serious invitation for Pacquiao, more intended as 'I'm not ducking anybody' kind of comment. He goes on after that about how he rates Marquez as a better fighter than Pac, so I really don't think he's planning to shaft JMM.

If we didn't make too much out of things here and there we'd have nothing to talk about. Its better than Bilbo talking about how dinosaurs are really dragons or some shit.

It doesn't surprise me to hear he said JMM was better, its good hyping of the fight (whether or not he believes it) which is why talking about skipping over JMM was a bit of a dumb moment.

He may well believe it, a fairly sizeable number of people do. I just think some people want this to be some rosetta stone of proof that Floyd needs Pac, when in reality its a pretty dumb comment probably blurted out as he got all worked up when someone asked him a question about Pac

I completely agree with you. People are running with this comment like PBF is new to them. We all know PBF runs his mouth and with running your mouth you often blab and say whatever is at the top of your head. Besides, JMM would have to accept the step aside money if the Pac fight were to happen and if he did that then that means he was satisfied. Plus, lets keep it real. We all would rather see the PBF/Pac fight.

Floyd needs to cut to the chase and just re retire.I think its eating him alive that Manny....or anyone.....has just past him by and is the new shot caller riding the headlines.Its an insult but not a suprise at all...it was all geared towards a Mayweather/Pac fight in the first place.Floyd has to realize that he is not driving the car.Floyd does not put azzes in the seats!!
