    Floyd continues to duck Manny. What else is new?

    I'm not saying it's true but I seriously doubt anybody would think it beyond Mayweather. It's sad when pro athletes go broke after their careers are over but not for Floyd. I hope he not only ends up broke, but homeless.

    Did anyone ever post the article of the UAE group offering Floyd 110 million to fight Manny?

    Or for the potential $30 million that the 1/3rd might represent.

    Manny will fight Floyd even for free money or his purse money go to the poor in his country, but Bob Arum will have none of that if he can't get a big chunk of the pie, plus Floyd will retire when he runs out of excuses.
    "I am smart! I am intelligent! I have children to raise and I am retiring healthy and uneaten!"

    Why Oscar DeLa Hoya was called 'Chicken' when the real poultry is Mayweather?

    Right. And the potential upside of a win/rematch, assuming he believes he can win - must be worth it at this late stage of his career. Leaving aside quaint stuff like ambition in the sport he's dedicated his life to.

    Floyd's damaging his legacy with these actions. Even hardcore black fans who hate Pacquaio's guts are wondering wtf is going on with Floyd refusing to take the fight??

    Is FLOYD still doing the OLYMPICS style drug testing or whatever they are called? A remember for a while there it was ALL about "even playing field", "no advantage everyone being equal"...or some shit....then SUDDENLY neither Floyd or his camp were talking about drug testing during their 24/7 or the showtime thing...ever since Marquez slept Pacquiao...IT STOP...Floyd thought he was in the clear....now he has to go back to it...

    Floyd is more terrified of Pacman that Tyson was of Lewis. Tyson finally stepped in only due to being massively in debt and needing the payday.

    I don't think Lennox was a world heavyweight champion during those early sparring days.

    Les Moones is desperately trying to make the fight happen. He knows it's the only way he can make a profit on the 6 fight deal.

    I'm not surprised, I have no fucking idea what Showtime were thinking giving Floyd that much money for fighting scrubs.

    How about what Roy Jones Jr was doing when fighting for HBO back in the day? The guy was picking the worst level of scrubs he could find to the point that there was a mass Roycott petition going on the forums :lol:

    He wasn't getting the obscene amount that Floyd currently is.

    Pacquaio is using social media this morning to call out Floyd:
    .@FloydMayweather, don't be a boxing humbug. Let's give the fans the fight they want. They have waited long enough.

    Didn't know what humbug meant so I looked it up, for those who also don't know:
    1 a : something designed to deceive and mislead b : a willfully false, deceptive, or insincere person 2 : an attitude or spirit of pretense ...

    Floyd has himself described himself as a Khan artist...

    Is he? I thought fighters fought to make the most money, and that's clearly the richest fight in boxing, period. And it's at 147.
