Here's the news:

Floyd Mayweather turns down new offer of $65 million to fight Manny Pacquiao - Pittsburgh Fight Sports | Examiner.com


Mayweather is indeed truly afraid of Pacman. No doubt about it.

[Hornfinger]

It's an article that slags off floyd. IT MUST BE TRUE!


Floyd is retired. Simple as that.

[brucelee]

Oh yeah. He's retired

[boxingbantz]

He doesn't want to risk his 0 which is fair enough this late on in his career. Why take $65m to fight Manny when he can make $20-30m fighting someone like Victor Ortiz? Less money but still a HELL OF a lot of money with less risk. If he loses that 0 he loses all marketability. For the record I think he'd beat Manny but if he doesn't want to take the risk, that's up to him.

of course he turned it down, he is a wanna be thug pussy!
Pacman would destroy gayweather!

I think there are a few things to iron out before Floyd fights Manny. First, he has to go through the process involving his ex wife and all the allegations that come with it. Roger has as well to settle the case involving one of his ex protege and finally, there is the lawsuit for diffamation that Pacquiao has against the Mayweathers. Before all of that is solved, the fight is unlikely to happen.

Beside, even if that fight sounds exciting, there are so many other great potential fights that can possibly be made, we should just stop thinking about that one, Boxing doesn't only revolve around Pacman and Mayweather.

I have a hard time believing this. I can't see Floyd turning down 65 million, i can see him turning down fighting in Singapore but not 65 million. I think there is more to this story, or Arum is lying as usual.

Like Pac destroyed Mosely?...

[foxbat1126]

Of course he will turn it down... it is $35 million short of his asking price ($100M).

Mosley wasn't asking Naz to stop the fight against Mayweather.
Mosley wasn't scared absolutely shitless against Mayweather
Mosley didn't claim after the Mayweather fight that he lost 3 rounds after the knockdown (doesn't remember them).

All that being said, I still favor Floyd over Pac. I think it would be a good competitive fight but Floyd has to be the favorite. Of course we have no idea what version of Floyd we will get. His legs were much stiffer against Mosley than they used to be. And that was 13 months ago. By the time a fight occurs, who knows. By the time we get Pac vs Mayweather neither guy is going to be in his absolute prime anymore. Such a travesty.

what a shock another thread by a Pacquiao nuthugger talking about how Mayweather supposingly turned down X amount of money to not fight him

why is Manny offering him anything anyways he's already set to fight Marquez in the fall

[FinitoElDinamita]

Ludacrious, how stupid. Why would Floyd be afraid of some one dimensional fighter like Pac? lmao

Pac would receive a beatdown of a lifetime and he's lucky that Floyd is on vacation...

TAKE THE TEST

Yea that's why i'm having a hard time believing this. Why is this coming out now that a JMM fight is already set I don't believe it, just another BS story by Bob and the boys.

exactly, but well leave it to the fanboys to clutch to anything they can in hopes that it "elevates" Manny's status
