Once again I have clear up your lying about Manny with facts. Manny won three lineal championship counting the Hatton championship.
Manny's Lineal championships:
Flyweight 112lb vs.Chitchai Sasakul,
Featherweight Lineal championships 122lb vs. MAB,
Light Welterweight Lineal championships 140lb vs Hatton.
Now that's 3 lineal championships not 4. I just keep proving you wrong with facts. You can fool the dickriding dumb fuck Manny fans on here that co-sign your lies and half truths, but you are not fooling me. Your hate for Maywather is blinding you and the reality of Manny ducking Floyd is making you crazy with hate.
Mayweather resume > Manny's resume Plus add in the fact the Mayweather can actually beat Marquez in the ring without the judges help and it's clear who has the better body of work in boxing. Mayweather!! lol now stop lying to your dumb Manny co-signs.

Good Floyd interview. Can't disagree with anything he says.
Floyd Mayweather: "I Only Want One Person, Pacquiao...Why Is He Duckin' And Dodgin'
Undefeated WBC welterweight and pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather talked about his strong desire to face WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao when he makes his return to the ring on May 5.
FM: The thing is this, I'm ready to fight May 5th.
BT: Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like Pacquiao is ready to fight May 5th. I'm not sure if it's because of the cut he...
FM: (Cutting in) I got cut in my last fight. I got a hole knocked in my face.
BT: (Laughing) I know. According to Arum though, there's a number of reasons why. First he said Pacquiao's cut wouldn't allow him to spar until April. Then he said he wanted to build a temporary outdoor stadium for the fight to maximize profits, but it wouldn't be ready in time for a May 5th fight. Now he says they need more time to promote the fight.
FM: Man, this fight is already sold, you know? The fight is already sold. All he gotta do is sign on the dotted line. I'm ready. He said he's ready to take the random blood and urine tests. I mean, his manager, what's his name?
BT: Michael Koncz?
FM: Yeah, Michael Koncz said he agreed to doing it. Like I said before, Floyd Mayweather don't want to fight nobody but one person. I don't want to fight nobody else but him. Nobody! I want him. I don't want to fight Cotto. Not Canelo. And I ain't looking to fight Marquez a second time. Nobody! I want him! I only want one person, Pacquiao!
BT: I was going to ask you about some of those names that you just mentioned. There's been a lot of speculation as to who you might actually face on May 5th, assuming it's not Pacquiao. Names like Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero...
FM: (Cutting in) I don't even know who "The Ghost" is. I don't even know who that dude Guerrero is. That didn't come from me. I'm not trying to fight Guerrero. I fought a southpaw; I fought Ortiz. Ortiz was a tune-up preparing me for Pacquiao because I thought that the fight was going to happen and that's the fight that I want to give to the world.
BT: Miguel Cotto and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez were also names rumored to be in the mix with Guerrero to get the opportunity. Have you actually considered any of those names?
FM: Like I said before, I recently heard about this guy, Guerrero "The Ghost", whatever, I wish him nothing but the best, but I'm not fighting no Guerrero "The Ghost" because I don't even know who he is. If I did have to fight Cotto, they're going to say I'm fighting Pacquiao's leftovers. I'm not saying Cotto is not a good fighter or he's not solid. To me, I think he's talented. If I'm not mistaken, back when Cotto fought Pacquiao, he fought him at a catchweight. You know me, if I was to fight Cotto, I'm not fighting him at no catchweight, but I don't want to fight him. Canelo, they'll say he don't have enough experience. It could be Cotto, it could be Canelo, but I'm not trying to fight either one of them. May 5th, I'm looking to fight Manny Paquiao. Why is he duckin' and dodgin' me? I mean, you say you're a clean athlete, I'm a clean athlete, let's take the tests and let's fight. Like I said before, May 5th, sure, it could be Cotto, or it could be Canelo, but I don't want to fight them. I don't want to fight nobody but one person, Manny Pacquiao. That's the only one I want to fight. Right now, my team may be looking for me to fight one of the other top guys out there, but I'm looking to fight one person.
BT: I think you've made that pretty clear over the past few days, but all of them- Arum, Pacquiao, Koncz, and even Todd [DuBoef] - are saying that they're not sure who to speak with on your team in order to negotiate.
FM: Everybody knows that all my business is handled in a professional manner. I got people that work for me that handle my business. Everybody knows that Al Haymon is my go-to guy. What's that guys name again, his manager?
BT: Michael Koncz.
FM: Michael Koncz came to my boxing gym to tell me that Bob Arum is not in control. He gonna tell me, "Bob Arum don't have nothing to do with this at all." He basically said that Bob Arum is out of there; that Bob Arum is not in control, but he [Koncz] is in control. Then the next time I asked him about Bob Arum, he said, "Let me handle Bob." Come on, man, which one is it, let you handle Bob or he's under control? He said, "Don't worry about nothing. Bob Arum listens to me." Which one is it, Bob Arum listens to you, or Bob Arum is not in control? He came to the gym with a few different people, Joe Jackson and some other people, but like I said before, he told me me Manny Pacquiao would take the tests, random blood and random urine. Once he told me that, I said, "Yo, we can make the fight happen." Then I told him, "How can y'all even negotiate a fight if y'all got a lawsuit against me. If it's defamation of character, why are y'all even coming to the gym to negotiate?" I said, "I want to fight him, but before y'all can even negotiate the fight, drop the lawsuit so I know y'all serious." It's obvious they're not serious because they didn't drop the lawsuit.
BT: Yo, speaking of Koncz and these investors, I was actually contacted by one of them who explained their offer to me. I was kind of surprised to hear that they were going to break Bob Arum off with like $40 million of his own.
FM: Anybody that's bringing investors to the table are probably trying to take money from people. It's no different than Bob Arum trying to cut a side deal with some investors and saying something like, "Pay me $40 million, give it to me, and I'll step aside and let y'all do the rest." In my opinion, Michael Koncz probably brought the investors because he's trying to put something together so he can get money behind Manny Pacquiao's back. There's so many different people they're getting involved with.
BT: Ah, that explains where Arum got his story about you supposedly meeting with investors this week. Well the latest coming from them is that they're willing to fight in late May, but they say you're going to have to find someone to guarantee your purse, and it sounds like Arum and Koncz still want that temporary stadium to generate an extra $40 million in profit.
FM: Now let's get this straight, if there's $40 million, that's probably money he owes Pacquiao on the backend. Y'all talking about $40 million? I'll be honest, I was guaranteed way more than that on the first go around [of negotiations]. How can a fighter that's supposed to be making eight figures...I mean, from what I'm hearing, he made, what, $6-$6.5 million?
BT: I believe that's what was on his bout contract, $6.5 million, but he was supposed to be guaranteed like $20 million, or something like that.
FM: How can a fighter who's making $6.5 million even negotiate with a fighter of this magnitude, you know what I'm saying? Bob Arum is talking about he gotta pay Pacquiao. Listen, Floyd Mayweather can make $50 million with a cab driver. In my last two fights, I made more money than Pacquiao made in his whole ******* career. Talking about can't nobody guarantee him $40 million. I made more than $40 million with Ortiz. Like I said before, Bob Arum is lying about that. All he did for years was tell people that I'm scared. Okay, he said I'm scared? Well why was he [Pacquiao] scared to take the tests. For two years he didn't want to take the tests. If he's going to take the tests, okay, let's fight. In my opinion, what they've been doing the whole time was piggybacking off my name and lying to the public, telling the public that I don't want to fight when it's really that Bob Arum don't want to put him in there to take that chance because that's his cash cow. He don't have Cotto no more, so if Pacquiao loses, he won't have no crazy revenue no more. Basically, that's what's been going on. You can call me whatever you want to call me, but I ain't no cheater and I ain't no loser.
All I'm asking is one thing, let's give the fans what they want to see. I want to take the tests; he said he's going to take the tests. This sport is too tainted. Everybody is cheating. They putting stuff in their wraps, they cheating with the gloves, everything. And guess what? What I believe in my heart is the majority of the cheating is going on in my weight class. No wonder Antonio Margarito was trying to fight me so bad. Everybody talking about I was scared of him. All the fighters they say I'm scared of are all Top Rank fighters. When I was with Top Rank, I was never scared of no Top Rank fighters. When I was with Top Rank, I fought all the best fighters that they had, but they didn't want to let me get the fight with De La Hoya because, at that particular time, that was their cash cow and they didn't want to risk their cash cow losing. It's the same thing going on with the Pacquiao situation right now.

I always had my senses. what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong. Mostly I just defend pac from the stupid shit people like bigface say discrediting his resume, saying he's on juice, or whatever else shit he may say. If bigface was a Pactard this entire time I'd have spent most my time defending floyd lol.
whatever happened in the past is the past. but right now, what's going on now, no one can blame floyd.
whatever happened in the past is the past. but right now, what's going on now, no one can blame floyd.
so pacquiao accepts May 5th and top rank/bob arum say no. damn, be your own boss pac
Top Rank says May 5th date is not for Pacquiao and Mayweather
Despite reports coming from the Philippines that Manny Pacquiao has accepted the May 5th date to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr., Top Rank, promoter of Pacquiao, as of early Friday denied reports that the mega-fight has been made. Bob Arum, after spending three days with Pacquiao was en- route to Las Vegas and was expected to have a comment later today.
The next opponent for Pacquiao could be another meeting with Miguel Cotto, or a fourth fight with Juan Manuel Marquez
The Mayweather camp on Friday continued to call out Pacquiao. Sources have confirmed that Mayweather has chosen Canelo Alveraz to be the opponent he meets for the WBC welterweight title on May 5th from the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
“It is all rumor at this point and Manny will be fighting in early June, not May 5th,” commented Lee Samuels of Top Rank also a spokesperson for Arum. The stipulations as to a purse, whether it be a 50-50 split and a venue also have to be arranged.
Arum has contended that Pacquiao is not avoiding Mayweather. And Pacquiao, as of late Thursday indicated that he was acceptable to the anticipated and long awaited fight. However, it appears that conflicting reports about the May 5th date, partly due to rumors and blog reports have everyone believing that the fight has been secured.
A major issue at this point to solidify the fight is where it would be held. Mayweather started the speculation a few months ago by securing the MGM for a May 5th date, also stating that he wanted “The Little Fella,” with obvious reference to Pacquiao.
Pacquiao has agreed to the Olympic drug testing procedures, a main obstacle that derailed the fight that was planned almost two years ago. Then last week, Mayweather had his 90-day jail sentence for domestic violence pushed to early June which opened up the door for more speculation that his may 5th date would be a meeting with Pacquiao.
Arum wants the fight to be held in a 40,000 seat venue. Mayweather has reportedly stated that he wants the fight to stay in Las Vegas which also has become an issue.
Adding to the fury of all the rumors is speculation that Miguel Cotto would be the opponent for Mayweather on May 5th. As of Friday, Cotto has not re-signed his deal with Arum and Top Rank. And Golden Boy Promotions, a middle man for Mayweather, has done business with Cotto in the past.
Calls to Golden Boy were not returned and Richard Schaefer, CEO, could not be reached for comment. Any negotiation with Top Rank and the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight from the beginning have been conducted with Schaefer.

I think it's also because arum gets more money having pac fight guys on top rank than if he has pac fight someone on golden boy, like floyd.
if pac fights, say timothy bradley or marquez (top rank), bob arum gets a % of each fighters purse. whereas if he fights floyd, first off it's a 50/50 split (instead of the usual 90/10) and bob only takes a % out of pac's money, not floyds.
so I bet bob wants pac to fight as many of his top rank fighters as he possibly can, milk him for all that money, then when there is absolutely no one left and only then, fight floyd.

Junior Lightweight is known as Super Featherweight today. I would love for any Manny fan to name the fighter that Manny beat to become the Lineal champion at super featherweght?? I listed the other three fighters he fought to win his lineal championships, but i can't for the life of me find the 4th guy he beat to win the super feather weight one??
