How do you get the mega-fight that just ain’t happening? While Floyd Mayweather made headlines today with his judicial problems, Manny Pacquiao’s promoter, Bob Arum, took the opportuinity of Pacquiao’s media day workout as he prepares for his Juan Manuel Marquez fight (November 12) to declare how much he doesn’t believe we’ll actually get the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight.
Working both angles, trainer Freddie Roach keeps insisting on how this fight is crucial for Manny, how important it is for him to get this deal done and beat Mayweather, as his career won’t last forever. Roach said Pacquiao will probably be hanging up his gloves in two, three years, to pursue his political career. That means about four, five more fights left before he says goodbye to the ring. It’s important to his legacy to fight Mayweather.
But back to pessimism – Bob Arum, Top Rank CEO, just doesn’t belive it’ll happen. That fight will never, ever happen, as he put it. Why? …Ever, ever happen because of Mayweather. Simple enough right. Well, putting it that simply wouldn’t get Floyd Mayweather any more interested than he is right now, which isn’t a whole lot. Arum needed to do a bit of explaining to get the Mayweather camp attention.
When Mayweather talks about how he hates Top Rank he’s talking BS. What Mayweather hates is Manny’s right hand. Mayweather has no chin and Manny will knock him out. Pacquiao and Mayweather is a three or four-round fight. Period. And who knows that best? Mayweather. Does anyone believe Mayweather will keep his mouth shut to that kind of talk? No way. Will he be moved enough to take the fight? Too soon to tell. Probably not. So why not add some more?
He understands boxing and Mayweather can not compete with Manny. It’s the right hand of Manny that is preventing that fight from happening. If Manny agreed just to jab with the right hand the fight would be made in 30 seconds. Don’t kid yourself. I know Mayweather, Everything else is BS.
To end his verbal assault on Mayweather ego, he mentioned how Mayweather tarnished boxing with his dubious KO against Victor Ortiz. I’m agreeing on Mayweather not taking the Manny Pacquiao fight because he’s afraid to erase that 0 from his losses column, but he didn’t tarnish boxing. It wasn’t great sportsmanship, but Victor Ortiz has only himself to blame. The sport has plenty of other problems doing it’s Tarnishing.
Roach, like we already wrote about yesterday, is taking a different approach. The good for boxing, good for Mayweather course – I think it would be good for boxing and good for the world if that fight happened. f Floyd ends up undefeated but didn’t fight Manny Pacquiao it’s going to haunt him for the rest of his life, but I don’t think he thinks logically. It’s always something with him. Only he knows why he won’t take this fight. They’re both in their prime right now and I think it needs to happen now. People around the world are getting tired of it. They need to fight already.
As usual, everybody’s blaming Mayweather. Manny Pacquiao didn’t have a lot of words on the matter, but did mention money as a likely issue. Really? Or more Psych tricks to lure the big fish into the net – Maybe the promoters can not afford him. I think that’s the reason. The promoters cannot afford him. What he’s asking is hard.

Floyd Mayweather doesn’t need Pacquiao. The idea that fighting Pacquiao will cement Floyd’s legacy is only in the minds of Pacquiao fans. Floyd is undefeated and he hasn’t built his record fighting bums. If he retires undefeated it shouldn’t effect him stature in the sport any more than Rocky Marciano having fought the big names of his time when they were way past their prime.
All this talk trying to psych Floyd into fighting reminds me of the schoolyard attempts to pit one kid against another by saying one is afraid.
Pacquiao needs Floyd for the money because he can’t make the big money without him. Pacquiao wants a big money pay day to get his azz whopped and if I was Floyd I wouldn’t let him have it either. Floyd is cagey and not just in the ring.
Flobyy Sr and Jr are needed to fight PACMAN (yes tag team dad and son), when Jr gets around 65, he would be telling street kids how he wuzzy out of a big fight … but he would ofcourse tell the kids fighting isn’t everything. LOL
PacMan is richer than the black dude and got more maids than that black dude could ever imagine
Yo Kthor just shut the F up talking stupid…you sound like a hating a** redneck. Pac don’t have any money because Arum and Roach taking over half of his pay checks. Go do your research and then come back. If he have so much money tell him to feed his poor ass country, those are the only maid he probably have and they working for free…
@diop:
Stop covering up flyods stinking cowardly ass. All of the boxing world knows that Floyd is scared shit. Yo boy ain’t gonna fight pac. Floyd would rather die of aids that fighting pac. Nuff said
@Q: I didnt saw the name gayweather on the 2011 Forbes list richest sporstmen, so what are you saying nigger?
@ Diop & Q
We know that riches are based on cost of living, Pacquiao is a simple guy who just had his ferrari later in his career. Gayweather is a one day millionaire kind of guy with a lot of tax evasion issues.
The truth is its Pacquiao making Mayweather relevant in sports and Gayweather will avoid it because that is his last ace. If he loose to Pacquiao everything is gone.
I remember when Floydie retires and cry out like a baby because he’ll be irrelevant to the sport. That is why Floyd is very much afraid to lose his marketability and retire like Diaz, Dela Hoya, Hatton
Its not about keeping the zero but fighting the fight of a lifetime, its true it will hunt him down when he let go of this fight.
That makes Mayweather a gay fighter, intelligence is part of a true warrior but not everything.
thats why….Floyd Gayweather LoL wahahaha
Its not what Mayweather family say is B___S___. Its them and their personalities are B___S___.!!!
What says you diop n Q??
Arum is right!Floyd is wise enough to avoid the Pacman ‘coz he has something to be afraid of!If Mosley who was already old & past his prime when they fought can stagger him, so much so for in his prime Pacquaio! Add to that his double-edged weapon! An H-Bomb left & an A-Bomb right! Not even his vaunted defense can avoid these two!Compounded by the relentless flurry of punches, Floyd realizes that it’s game-over for him once he agreed to enter that square ring with the Pacman! So just hide in your shell like a turtle Floyd! That will cement your great ducking legacy!!!
To Diop:
Your idol Floyd is doing everything for the unevenful demise of the proposed fight with Pacquiao.He throws wrenches,fences,alibis,excuses,demands,rules,regulations,hardships,
obstructions,or anything under the sun so this fight will not push through.I don’t think he is afraid of Pacquiao.He is probably just nervous or jittery because his “O” might go from the dangerous Pacquiao.
If he is unsure of himself,then just retire.Instead of calling the shots as if he is the boxing comissioner or drill instructor.I can guarantee you that the Filipino is not his orderly and he won’t obey any order from Mayweather.It’s now 2011 not the 1800’s.
Has anyone seen Ben Pompoms latest cheer on floydhype.com? This guy is a piece of work. He is always acting like fans are too dumb to figure out that he is Floyd’s oficial cheerleader. Here is the link, see for yourselves. How much Floyd actually pay this guy to lie for him?

i think theres not much to argue with this potential super fight. its obvious. mayweather is fucking scared. well to diop and q: you guys are fucking comedianne. just like mayweather he’s entertaining in fucking ways. hahaha.
The current Cheap Shot champion is a disgraced to the Americans. The USA supposed to be the land of the braves. True, he can keep his undefeated record but It will be also in the boxing history that the Cheap Shot is a coward for avoiding to fight a midget from the third world country named Manny Pacquiao. What a shame to the Americans.
Gayweather created his own monster for talking a lot of BS in the past few years until today, that’s why he is so afraid to his own monster
@ Q & Diop: i hate racial slurs. but you floyd nincompoops always draw the first blood. if your asses are black then go back to yo history dudes. your african-american just like there are filam mexam an shit. i hate to do this coz ima fan of ali tyson and leonard. so to you floyds idiotic apes just stick to what yo know about pacquiao but nevah say any shit to his country. where u came from is not any better.
Just take the fight floyd… Its really obvious that you are just ducking the PacMan as you ducked margarito and cotto before.. Why are you so scared???
every average-thinking boxing fan knows that mayweather is a ducker. he retires, makes ridiculous demands just to avoid fighting feared opponents like margarito cotto now pacquiao. but he can trashtalk good. his ‘leftovers’ just revealed his weaknesses coz pac beat the same guys like a walk in the park! during the nego the only demand camp pacquiao made is a penalty for excess weights given what floyd did in marquez fight. now his estranged pop still talks about the test citing arum n ariza. come on you manipulative cowards u know pac has already agreed. he made it clear to the whole world. drug-testing is not an issue anymore. just fight! even your fellow blacks called u a muthafckn shame n disgrace for being a chicken. anyway pac likes chicken. he would eat you alive for dinner if ever you fought. haha
if this will be the way to get floyd so be it because its something that needed to happen.with the dismal performances in the recent fights the fans this time must be treated well.the problem is when ego ruled one’s head its always detrimental to the sports survival.whether the act of befriending or antagonizing somebody can be alluring is one thing but the guarantee of having an exciting match is another.i believe the floyd vs manny fight is a sure blockbuster in terms of gates revenue but the fight could be a snoozefest which i can attribute solely to floyd’s hit and run tactics.there are reasons in everything that happens and in this match there is reason why it must not happen.
[…] Victor sparring with Manny and they went at each other for two days until we stopped …Pacquiao Camp Trying to Reel in MayweatherSportigeBob Arum doesn't see megafightESPNMayweather knows Pacquiao can beat him – ArumABS […]
Arum is right, Floyd will never fight the pacman. He knows he will lose. Floyd knows that if he lose all the thrash talking, ego talking, crap talking will just fall back on his face. He knows it.
Pacman does not need Floyd but boxing fans just want to get them in the ring. So what does a warrior like Pacman do who always wants to please his adoring fans? Answer them by saying yes.
What does Gayweather do when asked by his fans? “He’s next”, “he got to take the test” blah blah blah…. Bullshitter idiot.
doesnt it really show floyd jr is basically ducking pacquiao? from his ardent denial “pacquiao is next” to his increasing demands “take the test and we got a fight”, the “pacquiao should only train in the US” and “only USADA regulates the test” issues… omg, as if he is pacquiao’s personal trainer and promoter! no wonder arum had expressed an exhausted middleman. we’ve been only feeding from the surface of negotiation arum’s been busy doing with WADA vs USADA selection to floyds new demands. this items wont just pop up without something stirring it from behind. now paid writers wish to divert, modify and twist reality to blame the very person who tried to make things work. arum is so much wanting to earn money from floyd/pac fight but floyd is clearly unwilling because, ye, he hates top rank. make sense to me!
For the nth time, I would repeat this…. “This fight will never, ever happen, simply because Floyd knows he can never beat Manny. Arum is right the right hook will put him to dreamland and his “0” will be gone forever.” ….And, he will have nothing more to brag about.
To Q and @diot, I challenge you to convince your man to fight Manny, or I’ll call you both “as coward as your gay boy Floyd.”
What scared Floyd so much is Manny’s ferocious and almost non-stop punches coupled with a machine-like stamina. Now, how can he defend against them…… Now, Q and @diot, ask Floyd about these.
Q,
you’re the one who dont know anything… pacquiao is presently the richest congressman in his country with a staggering $3billion asset. he was even rumored to have bought a 5 star hotel worth P1Billion, and recently bought $220K ferrari. hhmm… you know you dont have to be hateful of pacquiao. know him and you’ll find it easy he’s not that greedy and arrogant, unlike floyd jr.
TO NAME A FEW OF HIS MANY BUSINESSES OR COMPANIES , LET US START ON HIS 7 STAR HOTEL HE JUST BOUGHT IT LATELY AND ITS WORTH BILLIONS.BEACH RESORT, SHARE HOLDER OF SAN MIGUEL CORP.TV NETWORK SHARE HOLDER,TAXI CABS, REAL STATE,PROMOTER AND HIS ENDORESENT ARE ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN TIME MAGAZINE RICHEST ATHLETE. IF SOME CAN ADD MORE ITS MY PLEASURE BECAUSE I BELIEVE THERE ARE LOT MORE BUSINESESS THAT WE DON’T KNOW. REMEMBER HE IS A POLITICIAN AND POLITICS IS A BIG BUSINESS IN OUR COUNTRY LOL.. PEACE CONG.MP I JUST GOT PISS THESE PEOPLE WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YOU..
mayweather is a coward,he avoid the fight with pacquiao,mayweather is bullshit!
if floyd is a Filipino boxer who acted what he is portraying ( manny alibis & excuses) against pacman , then its a nature for Filipinos to junk him publicly bec no Filipino wants to be called “COWARD”. try it and you will be hit on the spot..! it’s a fact..! no Filipinos will support a coward fighter.. no filipino promoters will handle coward fighters and finally no filipino fans will support a coward fighter.. what about Floyd’s fans..????? Is he a Shame for ur country..?
THIS WRITER IS PLAIN STUPID.
WHY DONT YOU ASK YOURSELF WHY FLOYD KEEPS ON RETIRING AFTER FIGHT AND HAVING A TWO YEAR LAY OFF?
WHY DONT YOU ASK YOURSELF WHY FLOYD SAID HE DIDNT SAY HE WANTS TO PACQUIAO NEXT?
WHY DONT YOU ASK YOURSELF WHY HE’S ASKING FOR A RANDOM DRUG WHEN IN FACT HIS FIGHT WITH MOSLEY AND ORTIZ AINT RANDOM?
WHY DONT YOU ASK YOURSELF WHY FLOYDS ASKS A 100 MILLION DOLLAR GUARANTEED PURSE?
WHY DONT YOU ASK YOURSELF THE FORMER HBO PRESIDENT ROSS GREENBURG BACKSUP BOB ARUM SAYING HE HELPS TO MAKE THE FIGHT WHEN GBP AND MAYWEATHER PROMOTION SAYS BOB IS A LIAR?
WHY DONT YOU ASK YOURSELF WHY YOUR SO STUPID TELLING EVERYONE WHY THEYRE BLAMING MAYWEATHER WHEN IN FACT YOUR THE ONE BLAMING IT ALL ON TOP RANK BOB ARUM AND PACQUIAO?
YOUR SO STUPID YOU KNOW THAT?!
IF PACQUIAO SAYS HE’LL RETIRE, ID PROBABLY BELIEVE HIM THAN MAYWEATHER WHO KEEPS ON RETIRING! PERIOD!
To Diop: You’re a hater my dude. Pacquiao Doesnt need Floyd, Floyd needs Manny for legacy and money. Pacquiao buys a 9 million dollar house, a 4 million dollar getaway house in LA, and recently a 458 italia, does he seem like he need Floyd to you? Floyd doesnt get money anymore, he owes millions in taxes, mortgages, and other unknown debts while Pacquiao overpays in millions in taxes and gets rufunded by the IRS. Pacquiao is good whether he fight Mayweather or not.
floyd fans says “floyd doesn’t need pacman”. pacman fan says “pacman doesn’t need floyd”…. yes its true they don’t need each other…But you people are all boxing fans don’t you…. the boxing world and boxing fans need this fight!!!!!! It must be done… if floyd and pacman really loves boxing they have to fight…
I have been saying all along, coward Floyd Jr. will never fight Manny Pacquiao. Like father like son, Floyd Sr. a convicted drug dealer, and son are both have big filthy mouths, that’s all they have.
Floyd is a Coward and a Disgrace to the United States. It’s really Pathetic that the same country that gave us Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, ALI, Joe Frazier, Walter Payton, Mike Tyson, Marvin Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard also produced a COWARD like FLOYD. Floyd will never fight Manny as he does not want his Children and Grand Children to have other Kids Tweet the YOUTUBE where Manny Brutally Knocked him out and ended his Career…FLOYD U IS PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!

floyd mayweather winner take 80% of the purse
Floyd needs to correct this assumptions now!! Articles upon articles,blogs after blogs, postings upon postings,he is being labeled as “coward”.He needs to address this soon,or it will stick to him forever.He needs to fight Pacquiao soon without too much demands to his advantage.Gladiators must fight at even terms.He has already advantages over the supposed to be midget Pacquiao in terms of height,reach,weight or skills.Pronouncing himself as the best in the world,Floyd must prove it,or he will be called “coward”incessantly.It’s becoming evident as days pass by that he is ducking the midget from the East.And if he is cocksure that Pacquiao is on PED,then go to the deposition ASAP.Prove to the world that Pacquiao is positive.And he must not insist that whatever he wishes in the boxing world to change ,his words are the “edicts”.He is not the Nevada boxing commission,or the California commission.He is not Julius Caesar ,either.He is just a regular boxer with an inflated ego.Is he scared to get trounced by a”midget”? Getting cold feet now?
Mayweather is a notorious scam artist. He’s been scamming boxing fans throughout his career.Boxing fans should wake up now and avoid his fights against any fighter other than Pacquiao.
Glad I didn’t pay a dime for this scumbag!!Fuking crooks cheated money out of stupid fans who’s foolish enough to believe this con artist’s fixed/planned fight.
Floydiot will pay even with their food-stamp money to watch this monkey dancing on skirt. Wake the fuk up FLOYDIOT!!
