Pacquiao "I don't need Mayweather"

[Hunter]

I am on Pac's side on this one. Pac doesnt need mayweather and shouldnt have to deal with his rediculous demands. If you look back on Pacs career he has never dodged anyone, he has never been afraid to lose. Why would he change when fighting mayweather?

Floyd is the one that is broke and could benefit from the money this megafight would generate.

And to show that I am just not a Pac fan, I think Floyd will beat Pac when they fight. I think Floyd is just being a spoiled crybaby and this is why people dont give him respect.

Don't put an "s" on the word "demand" when it comes to Mayweather. He only asked for an Olympic style blood test while Pac and his team demanded many things.

He only dodged having his blood tested Olympic style which Shane Mosley had Floyd Mayweather have already agreed to take equally for the upcoming fight.

I am pretty sure Floyd has generated more money than Pac. Has Pac made enough money in just one fight as Mayweather vs De La Hoya?

Like it has been said before. Look at Floyd's demand compared to all the demands Pac and his team asked for. Something journalists seem to ignore as well as Pac's suspicious excuses on not taking a blood test olympic style.

What were the list of demands Pacquaio made?

don't have a link but off the top of my head, $25 million upfront, $10 million each pound over the 147 limit, gloves, and that's all i can remember

[OumaFan]

well they each demanded at the least 50-50 and that was worked out so financially its hard to say one guy made demands, they both did and it was worked out.

Manny made a gloves demand (I guess, I wasn't keeping up with it at the time) and Mayweather dictated where the fight was going to be by refusing to fight in Dallas, presumably so he could use his hand medicine in Las Vegas. Or maybe he doesn't like Texas, I don't either.

So they basically made one big demand. Floyd accepted and Manny didn't. Floyd looks better.

Even if it was just those three, its 3 compared to just one: the olympic style blood test which BOTH would take. Simple math. Pac makes more than 3 demands, Floyd makes one and even agrees to 50/50 (which is hard to believe). Who is making more demands?

[OumaFan]

LOL at the idea that 50/50 was a Manny "demand." My God. This is why I stayed away from the hell hole that was the Manny/Floyd forum.

agree, nothing but 50/50 split made sense, but he is right that Manny did make more demands than Mayweather

[Fenster]

$10 million per pound over 147 was a big joke. I can't believe how many people took that seriously. I bet Team Floyd pissed themselves when they heard it, just like Team Pac were pissing themselves when they came up with it.

When has Floyd struggled to make 147?

It was clearly a reaction to Floyd coming in at 146 against Marquez after agreeing to 144. That's 146. A pound under 147.

This is a total non-issue.

Yeah he does! Idiot!

I do not defend Manny a lot. Although I am fan, I criticize him as much any other person. But this article is ridiculous and misleading. The translation is stupid and far out of context. MMC did a better job translating the true meaning. But of course, when a person speaks in Filipino it is so different in context and substance when translated in English literally. This is why Manny has been dubbed a "humble" guy from which many Filipinos believe he is not because of the language barrier that we have and how we construct sentences.

In this case, I don't see Manny avoiding Floyd. I see him as I have always seen him. A man clouded by his arrogance and pride. Not because he is avoiding Floyd. Manny will not win the elections and he will continue boxing.

[jolz]

this is Pride..but Pacquiao has a point..But on the other side, people are deprived of the fight that they want..

[ono]

To be fair, all he does need is some Nolvadex.

Don't put an "s" on the word "demand" when it comes to Mayweather. He only asked for an Olympic style blood test while Pac and his team demanded many things.

Demands is more accurate when discussing the various aspects of the anti-doping procedures.

If you look back on Pacs career he has never dodged anyone, he has never been afraid to lose

He only dodged having his blood tested Olympic style which Shane Mosley had Floyd Mayweather have already agreed to take equally for the upcoming fight.

He said anyone meaning fighters so don't take this out of context.

Floyd made a lot of money and blew most of it away. So it doesn't matter if he made more money than Manny at this day and time.

And to show that I am just not a Pac fan, I think Floyd will beat Pac when they fight. I think Floyd is just being a spoiled crybaby and this is why people dont give him respect

Like it has been said before. Look at Floyd's demand compared to all the demands Pac and his team asked for. Something journalists seem to ignore as well as Pac's suspicious excuses on not taking a blood test olympic style.

Don't remember Manny making any major demands on this fight other than Floyd to quit creating controversy based on opinion and not verifiable fact.
