IMO a tune-up is ok since Mayweather was out of the ring for long and Marquez fight offered little to him. That being said Mayweather is no longer the champion
Believe it or not I have no problem with this either. I think he should take a tuneup and Pacquiao is planning on taking a little break anyway. Pacquiao should settle his marital problems now and make sure that shit is all over and done with by the time he hits his next training camp.
Mayweather's already wasted two years. He got his tune-up when he faced Marquez. A great fighter, but a lightweight. His next opponent must be Pacquiao, or Mosley. I suspect the link is just b.s. and Pacquiao and Mayweather will fight in the spring.
I doubt that. Maxboxing had a similar story a week earlier but I waited to hear more on it before I posted it. Although it isn't official yet it sounds just like Floyd to take another oppurtunity to "steal some more money" as he puts it, before he takes on a dangerous opponent.
Thing being - Floyd won't regard it as a tune up. he'll regard it as another 10m pay day & EVENT which needs to be promoted for 4 months and can't happen till late May or some crap. If he had a genuine low key tune up in mid january or something and was ready to fight Pac in May I'd be all for it, but we all know that isn't gonna happen. More bitch tactics from Floyd, bottom line.
Pacquiao is a bitch. He had the opportunity to call out Floyd and he ran scared. That's why I loved Tito so much. Remember when he called out Roy Jones in his prime and he was still a welterweight. He's still calling out Hopkins despite doing nothing at home but eating lechon. Pacquiao whimpers "it's up to my promoter" what a bitch. Cupey
:: Yeah. Pacquiao's a bitch. Gimme a break. What he's not is a punk, like PBF. PBF is banking on (rightfully so) Pacquiao's friendly demeanor as a way to continue to avoid top competition and instead face, Matthew Hatton? Gimme a fuckin break. And he wants to tour the world? No doubt, taking on more nobodies? The sad thing is people will buy into it. PBF is a scared bitch.
At least he is not using WARPED logic while CRITICIZING other fighters as to WHY he shouldn't fight an opponent. "Huh Manny, I have here a contract, base plus % of PPV. We're looking at 3 million ppv sales AT LEAST. You'll be making more than $40 milllion." Pacquaio: "Where do I Sign? And Master Roach when does training start? SIMPLE.
it's possible he's simply demonstrating that he has other options, as if to say, "I don't need Manny Pacquiao."
In fairness, if he thinks mentioning Quintana and Mathew Hatton as potential opponents demonstrates that then he's more delusional that any of us imagined.
Sounds like bullshit. I mean come on guys, Mathew Hatton or Quintana in the UK? The article presents a lovely opportunity for Floyd's haters to tear on him so, go ahead I guess.
I agree. But what's sad is that it wouldn't surprise me one bit if PBF really were planning to fight the likes of Matthew Hatton. I mean, the guy is shameless.
What difference does it make what Mayweather says. You can't negotiate if you don't say "I WANT TO FIGHT YOU". We know Floyd wants no part of Shane because he won't even say his name. Pacquiao is the same. He won't dare say I want Mayweather. Marquez called him out like a real champion. Pacquiao is a bitch. Cupey
x2. Pac fights every single guy out moves up about 3 classes further than was prudent to do so and he's a bitch because he doesn't smack talk or call people out in interviews. One of the most retarded statements I've ever read.
I think that we should post Whiskey's post about Floyd everytime Floyd is mentioned until he grows balls much like Brother Ilusv posted a flying pig everytime we wanted Roy to step up.
Please show me footage of Pacquaio calling out ANYBODY and I'll stand corrected. I think the only obvoius thing Pacquaio did was he didn't want a THIRD Marquez fight after he defeated him at superfeather. Did he retire or fight a lesser opponent? NO. He went up in weight and captured another title with a spectacular knock out. On the other hand, if Pacquaio went on to fight Mosley instead of Mayweather, especially if negotiations done by his promoter fall through, nobody would find fault with that move.
He fights Diaz and a shot DLH. Wow, how impressive :notallthere: He's a punk fighting shot fighters. Cupey
I'm waiting for Floyd fans to justify this one. This is definitely not the first report of this I have heard either, so it's no bullshit. Greg Leon mentioned Salita weeks ago and he's on Floyd sack more than rjjp4p and REED combined. ::
Did you not see him beat the shit out of Cotto last week? Oh wait, I forgot you don't actually watch boxing.
