I was wrong about Floyd... he really IS trying to get a fight with Pacquiao

[MMASUX]

First i want to say that i don't defend Floyd in anyway. I just find it hard to believe that Pac-Floyd are in negotiations while Pac is in training camp trying to get ready for a fight. Afterall this whole $100 million talk is coming from Arum, is he lying or telling the truth today?? I would have to say lying.

I don't see what Arum or any promoter would stand to gain by pushing an agenda that eliminates all possibility of a fight. Needless to say that everyone involved would benefit greatly from a Pac-PBF fight. Floyd, on the other hand, has all the money he'll ever need, and does not financially need this or any other fight. What he DOES need, in his own mind, is to preserve that precious "0" he's so much in love with. IMO, he'll continue making outlandish demands, to at least give the impression he wants a Pac fight..... fight a few more bums along the way, and eventually retire with his millions and his record intact.

Floyd doesnt want to fight Pacman, period.

In fact, he plans to fight another undefeated, unknown fighter - Paul Spadafora.. Yes, its Spadafora...

Its time for another Floyd show...

[Spicoli]

Floyd has great boxing talent but his actions are not that of a great fighter. Shut up and fight son...or retire again. Shit's just flat out tired.

And personally I think Mosley has a solid chance of tko'ing Manny

If the originator of the demand were not Mayweather Jr., Mayweather Sr. would have said it was BS rather than offer another opinion. And this is you trying to offer some defense for Jr.

Here's the logic of Floyd about Pacquiao:

“The thing is this I’m an American citizen and I represent this country with the red, white, and blue. The only thing I want is the people in my country to stand behind me. I’m in my own country and I have a lot of people against me. Our country is a great country, it’s a clean country, and all I ask him to do is take the test, that’s it. He takes the test and we got a fight.”

“You guys must realize this about Pacquiao, that’s just a media creation. That’s somebody who just came around. For someone to beat me would be abnormal, for someone to be him is normal because he has already been beaten three times and knocked out twice. It’s nothing new.”

"I’m in my own country and I have a lot of people against me". And he wonder about that?


Lol. Here's a very good article in response to that radio interview...

Manny Pacquiao is making Floyd Mayweather look pathetic without doing or saying anything � Now Boxing

By Superstar Billy Graham

On an Espn radio show with Carmen, Junko and Harry, Floyd Mayweather was their guest and of course they spoke about Manny Pacquiao and asked the most obvious question when will Floyd finally fight Manny Pacquiao.

From what The Superstar heard and the 3 host heard is something quite disturbing for Floyd fans. Floyd Mayweather absolutely has an inferiority complex against Manny Pacquiao. He brought up that he is an American and Americans should not support a foreigner like Manny Pacquiao. Floyd began spouting red, white, and blue colors and feels his birth country is against him. Why is the good ol’ USA against Floyd? Most Americans are against Floyd due to him being such an egotistical, narcissistic self absorbed trash talking foul mouthed SOB. He has never tried to endear himself to the American public. How can anyone be loved when practically every word that comes out of his mouth is laced with profanity especially his favorite word something resembling an Oedipus complex. Someone should tell Floyd making that racist homophobic video against Manny will not get people to give “LOVE” or the support he is trying and begging to get. Floyd doesn’t get it. Don’t beg or demand for support. People will support you when you demonstrate great unselfishness and gratitude.

Then Floyd goes on mentioning of course Manny being defeated 3 times, which is so pointless now. Has Manny’s 3 defeats hindered his growth to becoming the number one pound for pound fighter in the world? Fortunately the Boxing Writers Association of America did not hold the 3 defeats against Manny Pacquiao when they awarded “The Pacman” fighter of the decade. But Floyd obviously will hold that over Manny’s head. It is his only recourse to convince people or the boxing public he is superior to Manny. Fortunately most people with sanity and appreciation for the sport of boxing understand those 3 defeats are so pointless. It is about as pointless as Floyd’s 6 losses in his amateur days.

The next response from Floyd is the most alarming and should really hit the head to all Floyd fans. Hopefully it may knock some sense into them. Floyd clearly made it crystal clear that he fights for himself and not for boxing. Not for boxing fans and that’s including Floyd fans as well. He goes on to say he’s the one who pays his bill not his fans. The private school for which his children go to is not paid by his fans. Which is totally false and also insulting. The fans are the ones who fill his pockets with money and without the fans he won’t be making those huge bets in basketball and football games. He won’t be strutting around with those $500 designer jeans and riding around in his custom Bentley. Without fans, there is no boxing. This is total disrespect to every boxing fan, especially the die hard boxing fans who are doling out money to buy Floyd’s PPV fights. We are all for Floyd to supporting his family but we as boxing fans are just asking Floyd Mayweather to give back to boxing and boxing will pay him well. Boxing is not telling or asking Floyd to fight for free. Boxing is asking Floyd to give back by fighting Manny Pacquiao. But Floyd clearly made his point over again that he is in it only for himself. Not for boxing. Not for his fans. And certainly NOT FOR ALL BOXING FANS. But then Floyd questions why people are so supportive of Manny Pacquiao while they are against him. His answers clearly gave the exact reason why not just Americans but most boxing fans around the world despise Floyd. He wants the support of Americans especially from American boxing fans but he will not fight for American boxing fans and for boxing, PERIOD. Floyd is questioning Americas and boxing fans loyalty but clearly made his point and stand, he doesn’t fight for his fans or for boxing. While Manny’s concern is not so much of his performance but giving great entertainment to all boxing fans. Manny wants to give honor to his country, boxing and it fans. While Floyd doesn’t, and he clearly made that point.

The final words from Floyd, Floyd said Manny is a media creation. Media creation? Like it was the media who elected Manny as a Congressman? Was it the media who created Manny’s poverty stricken background? Was it media creation when young Manny was living homeless? Was it media creation when Manny was only eating one meal a day? Was it media creation when Manny had to leave home because according to Dionisia Pacquiao “Manny left home because he believed I could not afford to take care of him”. The fact is, Manny has gotten attention by his accomplishment in and out of boxing. From growing up in a poverty stricken land to becoming and acknowledged by his peers as the best fighter in the world. While Floyd may have some champion belts and money in his bank account, he still doesn’t hold a simple High School Diploma. While Manny was able to get his high school equivalency. Furthered his education by getting a college degree in Business Economics and also an honorary degree in Humanities. Now Manny Pacquiao is spearheading the first hospital in his province of Sarangani. Is that media creation? No it is not. This creation was created by Manny’s hard work, sacrifice, and dedication. And from God. It is so interesting Floyd is so consumed with Manny’s accomplishments. How come Floyd is so compelled to question Manny’s accomplishments? How come Floyd feels the need to discredit Manny? Manny is not the one who laces is comments with extreme profanity. Why is Floyd expending so much energy trying to taint Manny’s legacy? Manny Pacquiao is not taking money out of his pocket. Manny Pacquiao is not the one who is attacking or making offensive racist videos. In fact, Manny has not done anything to offend Floyd. While contrary to Floyd, who is clearly the one making all the noise. The ugly green monster has finally reared its head on Floyd Mayweather Jr.

I could not agree more with that writer.

Floyd never fails to amuse me with his contradicting statements.. He wanted USA to back him up, but 20 seconds later, he tells everybody that he dont give a damn about fans and that he fight for no one but himself.. What a jerk.

This is NOT me trying to defend Floyd. I want him to give up all his crazy fight demands and just make it happen. This is me just doubting Bob Arum, he's the one who put it out there. We all know Arum is the biggest liar in boxing.

[Julius Rain]

If floyd wanted this fight this fight would had happened already. Floyd suddenly wants to clean up the sport because pac is so impressive he must be using PEDs. Exactly Floyd is scared, he knows pac is going to hit him two times for every one he lands. Shoulder roll aint going to work against pac, you stand still against him your dead. Pac hits you everywhere and they are coming from everywhere fast. Floyd knows this is a tough fight and thats why it isn't happening. Thats the bottom line, Pac haters and Floyd lovers can say what they want but Floyd is scared, Pac impress them wife beater so much they believe pac is on peds.

[Master]

Hurry up and make the fight happen, only one guy is active and fighting. The other may miss the gravy train.

[Mar]

People act like floyd is the only guy in this sport. Actually he's the on showing he doesn't want to fight and could care less about boxing as a whole, which is why it amazes me why the guy is in the media and every forum every other day. Hate the guy ? Then fine give shine to some of the guys actually fighting and giving us shit to watch. He doesn't want to fight mannny .....so what Find someone else that does. He isn't the only boxer in this sport. Floyd does and says all kinds of retarded stuff cause he knows peope will run with it. This guy is working opponets in the ring, a suckering people into keeping his name relevant out of it.
