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

[JazMerkin]

Here's a more detailed briefing of the conference call showing that Floyd did just make the Marquez comment after getting worked up & also seems to demonstrate that his issues are with Arum & a lot of what he's been coming out with. Not that he hasn't said some dickhead things today though.

lol so now all of a sudden the training Marquez does matters and its an insult?

Weren't you people the same guys that were bashing Mayweather to fight Marquez in the first place? saying Floyd was just fighting smaller guys and everything else? So now when he wants Pacquiao you say its an insult to Marquez when you weren't picking him in the first place and bashed Mayweather 3 shades darker for taking that fight and yet you support a Pacquiao vs Cotto fight? You people just find ways to try to hate on someone don't you?

I'm bashing Mayweather because he's completely disrespecting Marquez. I can understand, you're a Mayweather fan and you're defending him but you don't see anything wrong with his actions or how he's running his mouth here? He's saying he rates Marquez higher than Pacquiao but is looking to fight Pacquiao instead. How is he trying to make himself look?

the oh Floyd is so persecuted shit doesn't work anymore since Manny is clearly the most bashed fighter in the world today. Manny has gotten far more shit for fighting Cotto at 145 than Floyd has for fighting JMM at 144.

And seriously have we not gone over this? People have seen Pacquaio fight at 140 and 147, they haven't seen JMM and so they are more skeptical about his ability to do this. You would think at some point this would get through to some people. In addition to this JMM is old and seen as regressing while Pacquaio is seen as improving.

And yet still Floyd has gotten remarkably little shit for fighting JMM (personally I don't have a big problem with it) mainly because Pacquaio has taken his place as boxing's lightning rod.

This is more about Floyd just being an idiot. Shocking I know.

Seriously! Pac is trying to get Cotto to drop a couple pounds and he getting bashed. Floyd is making Juan move 12lbs up!! Juan is in his mid-30s. He should be getting more heat. I can see why people are getting so worked up over Floyd and Manny though. They're two of the best fighters in the world and the best always has their fair share of critics.

You & Ouma are Manny fans though so you see less of a problem with what he's doing, whilst Majesty & myself stick up for Floyd despite what he does, so none of us can really claim to be impartial & no doubt come off like 'haters' at times. This can be said though, neither of the 2 best fighters in the world & of their generation are covering themselves in glory with some of their recent behaviour.

I don't see a big problem with what Floyd's doing really fightwise. The only time I really criticized Floyd was when he decided to take a vacation from the second Castillo fight through his early run at welter. That deserved criticism.

Floyd's resume is underrated and he gets too much at criticism at times. I would say the criticism of Manny has been even more absurd lately (unless he demands 143 or nothing for Cotto, I don't have a big problem with a Cotto fight at 145 as I've said now 8, 435 times) considering what he's done over the course of his career but as you say I'm a fan. Although the funny part is the main reason I became a big fan was because of all the absurd criticism.

The only thing I'm critical of with Floyd here is he's an idiot when he opens his mouth but meh its like criticizing George Bush for being an idiot when he opens his mouth, it loses its sting after a while.
