I don't see the need for mayweather to fight Pacquiao. He was given the chance a few years back which Pacquiao declined (even with a 50/50).

Its ironic that he has never publicly called out or spoken bad about mayweather until now.

Probably because he was hammered by Marquez and then beaten by Bradley.

He has been given an easy money match against Rios and is simply trying to rebuild his name off Mayweather.

I wouldn't say he is a has been, far from it. I think he takes out Garcia at 140lbs, i think he beat Rios, Alexander, Khan and Broner.

Mayweather will have zero interest in fighting someone that avoided him in the first place, and only wants to fight now after two back to back defeats.

Saul Alvarez undefeated huge LMW and young.

Why waste time on negotiations with Pac Man?!

Not to mention Mayweather will easily win any way in my opinion. IM not really a massive fan of either, but Mayweather by UD all day long.

Mayweather's biggest pay day?

If it is easy money, by far the most he will get, why turn it down.

The only name on Alvarez's record is Trout.

Chisora is fighting an unbeaten fighter this weekend, but I think we all agree that fighters such as Haye and Wlad with multiple losses on their record are much better fighters.

IM not disputing the fact that Pacquiao is quality D4, but Alvarez is a tougher fight for mayweather and will make more money. The fight should have been made a few years ago, but i think Arum and Pacquiao knew they would lose with Moneys counter punch style. Just look at Marquez!

why ruin the cash cow when you can milk some more with joke fights against Margarito and Clottey.

Mayweather wont give them the time of day.

If in honest, even if they did fight, and if mayweather won, people will just say he beat an over the hill Pacquiao and the fight should have happened years ago.

Its a no win for Mayweather.

he should fight Alvarez, Khan, Bradley (if he beats JMM) then maybe Martinez if he is still around. Maybe Pacquiao.

Nobody thought he would fight Alvarez, so we never know.

pacquiao needs to keep his name in the news so hes chatting alot of rubbish recently, just recently he said marquez landed a lucky punch, i think he and his best mate donaire sit in a room all day to see who can come up with the best excuses

He was responding to a derogatory comment by Mayweather, who brought Pacquiao's name up on his press tour to promote the fight with Alvarez.


Floyd always uses Pacquiao's name to sell his fights.

Be interesting to find out what's Mayweather's latest excuse in the very long line of them.

My favourite is, "My health is more important to me"

floyd vs pac man would be rigo vs donaire part 2

Rigo actually stepped up and fought, Floyd made excuse.

Why turn down an easy $100m for an easy nights work?

All talk, as the Pacman said.

Need to try harder D4. Put more effort in.

im not the biggest floyd fan and i was pished a few years back when this fight wasent made but now with whats happened to pac man recently i couldnt give a t**s about the fight, like i said pac man making alot of noise now with whats happened to him recently and with his options narrowing its understandable he pushing alot more for the floyd fight, both of the idiots should have sorted this 4 years ago

It should haven't happened years ago, but will Floyd finally step up and make some easy money, in his words, or will he continue to make excuses?

Love how everyone ignores the fact that Floyd kept adding more stipulations when they first talked about a fight. Manny had every right to say no to all these tests Floyd demanded, he knew at the time that Manny was the best on the planet.

You mean he had a right to say no to being drugs tested in order to put things even?

wouldn't you if a guy who started fighting at 116lbs suddenly came up to 147lbs and actually knocked guys out in big ways?? You name another fighter to have done such things.

It should be compulsory anyway with the amount of cheats out there such as Chavez Jr.

it is easy money for Mayweather, but why waste his time on a fighter not at his peak or prime, having come off losses etc etc. I mean, he isn't pacman himself who tends to fight against said fighters. (ie. Maragrito, Rios).

if pacquiao beats rios and then a big name, i can see mayweather fighting him.

or should i say teaching him?

but what will everyone say if he does (this is aimed at D4 as you seem a pacquiao fan)?

Mayweather does not make the rules, Pacquiao stated from day one he would take part in any testing procedures the commission seemed fit to administer.

Floyd also never petitioned the commission to implement the tests.

Floyd only brought blood testing to the table when, everything was agreed and Pacquiao accepted all of Mayweather's demands.

Pacquiao had also stated previously he had issues with blood tests in the past, where he had to miss training and it made him feel weak.

Pacquiao still agreed to the blood testing, but there was a dispute over a cut off date. Because Pacquiao felt it would harm his preparations for the fight.

Pacquiao agreed to full random urine testing.

I love pactards

That was the first negotiations for a fight in March 2010 in a nutshell.

From June/July 2010 the testing procedures were no longer an issue, Pacquiao agreed to Floyd's terms, but Floyd said he wanted to go on vacation for a year or two and was not thinking about fighting and wanted to spend time with his family (who he then assaulted)

Before first negotiations mayeather said this fight is going to be very hard to get on due to the problems between me and arum.
Team pac want 50/50 split no testing.
Floyd wants 60/40 split in his favour random up to the day of the fight.
Team Pac counter with 50/50 split ring size and gloves testing up to 21 days before the fight.
Floyd counters saying ok 50/50 it is you have all the rings and gloves you want and I will give you 14 days before the fight. Final offer and if you refuse this offer will never be on the table again it will be random testing up till the day and the bigger split goes to the one who pulls in the most PPV in their next fight.
Team Pac walk away.

Team Pac comes back a couple of months later and say we will take the deal.
Floyd says I told you thats no longer on the table after you walked away the first time.
Arum sticks a count down clock on his website.

Eventually team Pac agree to random testing up till the day of the fight folyd walks away holiday familt time etc etc poor excuses.

He should have said then lets get it on and he was a t-t for not but thats the way it goes.

Its a sad saga and a shame we never got to see it cause at that time Pacman was the only one out there who you though had a chance of beating mayweather.

let it go D4. Let it go.

I am sure you will manipulate and sway the way the first set of negotiations went in a different way you have done it before hence the reason I am now going to log off and not read your reply to this because I have heard it all from you before.

The manith will talkith pure mince now chaps

Pacquiao said, if they both win their upcoming fights.

Floyd doesn't like easy money

Interesting to see his excuse this time round.

Agreed housedp both boxers deserve equal blame and should be ashamed of themselves. Bob Arum however was the biggest obstacle in this fight not happening.

housedp

You are wrong bro.

Floyd asked for the 50/50 split first time round and Floyd only brought up blood testing at the 11th hour.

RGK,

Unless Arum was Mayweather's travel agent, he can't be blamed.

You got to love, Floyd are you going to fight Pacquiao?

Floyd: I want to go on vacation for a year to two years

d4

your wum tactics wont work on me your wasting your time.

Deal with it then.

Mayweather ducked Pacquiao in the past, present and will do in the future.
