Pacquiao vs Mayweather may not happen

[Intazzz]

Who cares if not happen. Pacquiao don't need Mayweather Jr. to cement his legacy. He already did it without Floyd. Pacquiao is above Mayweather.

Pacquiao is running to make changes and to make different. Pacquiao wants to help his poor country man.

Men, Life is important than boxing. Saving people to corrupt goverment is saving lives.

It would be funny if Pac blew Floyd off, and fought someone else....I would give him props for that.

There was an obvious edit to these Pac interview, but following his train of thought in his vernacular, he was saying or implying that he really prefers if it is PBF for the next fight, because he believes the more they talk, the more they should be shut up.

He really has no respect at all to people with skills in the art of verbal abuse. So much more for fighters whom on matters as such, need to actually talk less, and deal with business more with their fists.

I think there is a strong possibility if negotiations for a fight with Mayweather has too much foolishness, we may end up seeing a 140lb fight with the winner of Bradley/Peterson because of the mandatory defense and then possibly a unification fight with the Mosley/Berto winner to close out Pacquiao's career as a fighter.

The only fight Mayweather will be looking at is a rematch with Hatton. The only other match up that has potential to make a some money is a fight with Mosley, which I'm sure Mayweather won't do either and Mosley will wait for a last mega bout Pacquiao.

i agree with you. i even suggested that in another thread. all the fighters who floyd said should line up should just leave floyd in the dark.

as for manny running for congress, i dont think he will win. coz if people wanted him to win he would have. but filipnos are smart enough to keep him away winning some political position so he wont ruin his name.

After the money he could make from the Mayweather fight he might consider buying the Philippines and be ruler of it.

I got a feeling this fight will be in about a years time no way this fight happens in March.

LOL. Even if Pac earns $200 million in his fight with Mayweather, he won't be able to buy even 1/1000 of the Philippines.LOL.

FYI, our politicians in the Philippines are earning $300 million in just one major transaction (e.g. NBN ZTE deal). LOL.

Conclusion: Politicians in the Philippines are very corrupt and Pacquaio is trying to be one.

Pacquaio should stay in boxing and if he doesn't want to fight anymore, I hope he retires and not join politics.

I agree with you. If he works from the ground up and improves peoples lives more power to him.

He wants to watch his ass though if he ever goes against all the money skimmers in every department; corruption at that scale cant be undone by one man even with all the public backing in the world and wont be undone without blood spilt.
That type of change has to evolve very slowly and naturally after you fix up the sufferers first.

I don't care how noble you may think someone is, another 30-40 million is enough to get anyone to train for 6 months and fight.

That's 1.4 Billion Pesos, that money could go a long way in fixing the infrastructure of the Phillipines.

That might build a bridge over a small river. But yea in the Philippines using the real cost you might get 50 miles of a two lane road. Corruption cost, you might get 10 miles.

I agree the smart thing would be to meet and work out a deal. $30 million is a lot of f*n money.

LOL. 1.4 billion pesos will not go a long way in the Philippines. More than 50% of it will be corrupted. I know. I'm an accountant.

It's only greed (concerning both sides) that is stopping it from happening.

Earlier in the year it was Mayweather who was demanding too much in the form of a 60/40 split. Now Pacquiao's camp is not only expecting the 60/40, but also wanting a ridiculous catch weight (again).
If I were Manny or Floyd I would push for the fight be at 146 with 50/50 split or winner-take-all... but alas, I'm just a fan who wants the corruption and politics in boxing to dissipate.. (I don't think that'll happen any time soon )
