Is Manny Pacquiao ducking Floyd Mayweather?
- Thread starter Tony
- Start date
Bob Arum said that in the post-fight conference, Pacquiao never said he wanted a rematch, he said he would consider giving him a rematch. Then just a day or two later, roach/ariza/pac all started talking about mayweather. Once that happened you notice bob arum didn't mention marquez again.
At the end of the day arum has to try to do what pac wants. If he doesn't want to fight marquez, he's not going to fight marquez, nothing bob can do about it.

that's a stupid argument. That's like me saying if floyd wasn't a pussy and afraid of pacquiao he never would have asked for the most advanced testing in the history of boxing after they already agreed on everything else.
But we don't need to go there, it's the same damn argument for almost two years now. The chicken or the egg. Just goes in an endless loop.
I don't even care about what happened then, I don't care about floyd going on vacation and the supposed negotiations that never happened according to ellerbe. All I care about is right now and what happens in the next month or so.

Pacquiao Won't Confirm Mayweather Bout Pushing Through
By Ronnie Nathanielsz
Ring Magazine’s pound f or pound king Manny Pacquiao says a proposed fight against undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. programmed possibly for May 5 next year will be a good one – if it pushes through.
Pacquiao who represents the lone congressional district of Sarangani was speaking to members of Congress and friends who gathered at the Resorts World Hotel and Casino for a dinner party hosted by the Hotel and Casino in honor of Pacquiao.
Pacquiao said "Hopefully, the next fight, is Mayweather. "However," he quickly added "I am not saying it will push through" leaving some doubt as to whether negotiations would succeed.
Pacquiao expressed confidence it would be a good fight should it push through and invited the congressmen to watch.
At the same time he predicted that he will win decisively in his next fight, considering his third fight with Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez was close. In fact Pacquiao’s majority decision win was somewhat controversial.
The eight division champion and “Fighter of the Decade” admitted that fight fans were disappointed that the Marquez fight was close since they expected him to win handily . Trainer Freddie Roach had predicted a knockout win in a maximum of nine rounds while strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza had said the fight wouldn’t last more than three rounds and could possibly end in one.
Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz who met with Mayweather at his Las Vegas Gym was visibly angry that stories on his visit came out and appeared particularly upset with Top Rank promoter Bob Arum who confirmed the meeting in an overseas telephone conversation with BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard.
Mayweather’s adviser Leonard Ellerbe was quoted as saying Mayweather and Koncz didn’t talk about the fight during Koncz’s Las Vegas visit while Mayweather himself asked Team Pacquiao to begin negotiations and sign a contract for a May 5 megabuck fight expected to be the biggest fight ever..
Mayweather said to fighthype.com "I've been told May 5 is open" adding that "Losing is in Pacquiao's mind because he lost just last week. He lost to Marquez three times. May 5 is the date, sign the contract, I'm waiting."
However, the undefeated Mayweayther who had earlier scored a lopsided shutout win over Marquez said "I can't be sitting waiting all day, you want to fight let's make it happen. I'm here, I'm waiting, what's going on? I can sign today. If I sign today you better sign tomorrow."
Pushing his demand for blood testing Mayweather went on "You said you're a clean athlete and you said you'd take the test so let's do it.I can't be sitting waiting all day. You want to fight, let's make it happen. If I sign today you better sign tomorrow."
Following Pacquiao's points victory over Marquez, trainer Freddie Roach was quoted by CNN saying he hoped a clash with Mayweather would happen because he added, "I think it would be the best fight in the world and I would love to see it."

Watch the vid and you'll see Floyd calling him out and saying the date is for May 5TH. Floyd also talks about the Manny's money situation, and like I said in a past thread on here, Manny's shit is kind of like a record deal.
Fuck what all these advisors, investors, etc are talking about. Fuck Bob Arum, fuck Top Rank and fuck Roach if he doesn't want to do it. What do YOU want to do Manny?
Sign the contract.
Take the test.
Fight.

Well we can get a contract made if Manny and Top Rank start negotiations. It's kind of hard to draw up a contract if Top Rank and Manny is too scared to even start negotiations.
But then again I'm talking to Manny teabaggers, just like the real teabaggers logic, common sense, and facts don't matter in there world. Keep on making excuses for Manny ducking the fight.
