Just listened to the video again it's been a while since I last did that. In the video Mayweather states that he is one of the first athletes to talk about Olympic random blood testing, however, he doesn't do Olympic random drug testing. As far as I know there are only two fighters out there that do Random Performance Enhancing Drug testing and one of them is Nonito Donier who has been doing it for years for everyone of his fights, the other fighter I cannot recall his name. Also Mayweather talks about Pacquiao needing to solve the Marquez problem and Bradley problem. Which if anyone saw the Bradley vs Pacquiao fight you would see that Pac won that fight and he was robbed by the judges. Also, Pac has already beaten Marquez three times, the reason why these two fighters keep fighting is because they put on wars in the ring and the fans are entertained, and win, lose, or draw the fans have a hard time deciding who really won...minus the fourth fight in which Marquez knocks Pac out. Mayweather then says "he needs to beat these guys before he can step into the Lions Den with Floyd Mayweather". Never actually having been into a lions den, I'm assuming that's a dangerous place to be, however, if Floyd is referring to himself as the Lion...that doesn't seem like it's a very scary place anymore, unless he is referring to the judges as the lions, since that's how he actually wins his fights is through the judges score cards, then maybe it is a scary place for Pacquiao to be in.
The first time I heard a champion ask too many conditions before fighting somebody. Never heard Ali, Foreman, Duran, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Tyson, Holyfield etc ask that much.
The more obstacles a Champion/Boxer puts up to prevent a fight from happening the LESS that boxer want that fight. Floyd is a ducker and dodger, we all know that...
mayweather can never claims he is the best fighter until he'd fought and beat pacquiao. mayweather is very clever, he'll not fight mosley when mosley was at his best. he will do the same with pacquiao. ali was voted the fighter of the century because he's never dodge fighter.
@ sengchanh you seem to think Mayweather always had the clout that her currently possesses How many time s did Mayweather call out Mosley? here is what actually happened: Mayweather was very good & the pay off would be worth it to people like De La Hoya & Mosley opted not to fight him until Mayweather left them little financial choice. as for Pac why does May need Pac but Pac doesnt need May? Through out their Careers Mayweather has been the higher ranked P4P fighter the bigger draw & has the better record. Arum will never let Pac fight him
I'd never seen any fighter dodge a fight like Mayweather did to Pacquiao. Make no mistake, the fight will be fought between these two. Pacquiao wants this fight because he just want to challenge himself. Mayweather also wants this fight because if he is retired without facing off with Pacquiao, he will be regarded as the biggest running chicken in boxing history. Pacquiao is still dangerous but his power and footwork is not as great as say 3-4 years ago (2010/11), when he was regarded as P4P king and 7 times world champion. A year or two from now his power and footwork will be even less lethal, then Mayweather will want to fight Pacquiao. you have to give credit to Mayweather for being cunning. Why would you want to go to war with someone when your enemy is at their lethal best (Sun Tzu, the art of war).
Mayweather knows if he fights Pacquiao and loses, he'll be the laughing stock of the boxing world...why? Because he's talked so much trash and portrayed himself as undefeatable that one loss can ruin his legitimacy for the title of pound for pound king and his marketability status.
He says Pac needs to get past Bradley and Marquez to go up into his level to fight him, but then he contradicts himself by stepping down and fighting a lower rank fighter like Maidana, what a lying coward Mayweather is.
You are forgetting that many all time greats like Ali, and Ray Leonard were just as arrogant. Ali was probably the most arrogant boxer during his press conferences and even in the ring, he would talk smack.
***** "Lennox Lewis beat Klits and Lewis was only 60% fit for that fight. Oh and guess what, Klits and his brother are the Heavyweight champs. Lewis was also 38yrs old compared to Klits at 32yrs old. So your point is what exactly????." My point is that Lennox Luis beat all the great fighters of his era at the end of their careers never when they where on top of their game or at their pinnacle. Klitchko was just starting he was a newby, and he was winning the fight, until the doctor stopped the fight and everyone booed because he was winning. The same way Mayweather has beaten all these former champions, with the exception of Diego Corrales and Gotti, but lets face it Gotti was no champion, just a very exciting fighter who fans loved to see whether he won or loss, unlike Mayweather.
Sorry, but Floyd's not the greatest figher of all time, in many peoples' books, because of his reluctance to fight Pac while they were in their primes.
45-0-0 17 years undefeated champion..fought 22 world champion at their own weight class never been ko never been knock down never ever took no punishment in that ring..always fought fighters that came from victory wins,fighters at their best...where was pac 17 years ago??pac was a pro before floyd where was he.??got KO 6 times..been knocked down ...took a bad asswhoopin by morales..last time I checked every body thaught marquez just killed lady boy pac...just bring pac s record!!TMT
then why he wont fight back then?? if u think that way why not fight manny??? HAHAHA. JUST SCARED ? if gayweather think he is the best why not fight manny when he was the best?? he wants to fight manny now that hes old. pussy moves Hahaha
Got KO'd 6 times? Mate, he has only last 5 total so I think you need to check your facts...He also ended up agreeing to the random drug tests so I didn't see where the problem was, only to see the Mayweather's greedy, arrogant ass demanded that he receive more of the royalties, which is absolutely pathetic. He is undoubtably one of the greatest of all time, but he is ridiculously cocky and self-centered. This interview portrays him just building himself up, even goes as far as talking in the third person lmfao.
man..floyd doesnt need pac//pac needs floyd+ pac is just an employee bob s slave so he needs to shut the fuck up cuz he calling up shit!! floyd is the boss and pac s boss said they were building a stadium...where is it??then the cut after the marquez fight was a problem..then the needles..dont blame floyd for the fight not to happen..floyd even called pac on the phone..but lady boy and his master always had an excuse..been ko 6 or 3 times dude got fucked up any way so i dont see no diffrence!! pac was smart he would leave top rank and make big money..and that 50/50 when floyd is making way more money then pac by not even fighting him it s scilly..40 mil it s more money then pac will ever hearn in is career..floyd already making more then that..pac maximum pay day it s 25 mil with ppv and now dude is broke ..go on espn boxing they r talking about that..dude didnt pay his taxes and is reported to being broke so when floyd offerds him 40 mil he should have take it but no he ws playing thine mouth and now he s broke and master bob is happy...pac is dumb!!40 mil was gonna be his biggest pay day and a chance to fight floyd..now it s over,he fights floyd he wouldnt get 40 mil ..probably like canelo 12 mil!!
-"Pac said no" Pacman agreed to take the test before the fight, at the night of the fight, and after the fight. -"he went on other fighters for less money" Pac agreed for 45-55 split, still denied. Then Floyd fought other fighters for less. -"Floyd called Manny, no response." They had a conversation, nothing was agreed.
I've never seen a guy so scared and Hell bent on avoiding one fighter in all my life, all the past great champions fought all comers, but Mayweather comes up with nothing but excuses.
I'm really trying my hardest to like Floyd because of his topnotch boxing skills and his sense of humor. He's entertaining, inside or outside the ring, and that's always likable in a fighter. However, I really don't understand why he isn't pushing the fight against Manny when he says that boxing is business and he's all about the money. A fight with Manny would definitely earn him the biggest paycheck of his career, and a victory would only prove, once and for all, without a doubt, that he is the best P4P boxer and greatest champion of this era, or even of all-time, yet he doesn't show any interest in doing the fight. Why?
People seriously need to learn what that means before trying to use it as an excuse. Floyd and Marquez fight the same style, even Bradley fights similar the way he defended against Manny. Manny struggled with both of them, I see no reason why he wouldnt lose to Floyd, sorry if you disagree.
I cant understand why this man has so many haters, if you love boxing like i do you gotta love watching this guy fight, in my opinion, the greatest pound for pound boxer the sport of boxing has ever seen, and im up for anyone to debate it
I've heard from a few people (white college guys for whatever its worth) I know who've actually met him off camera in Michigan that Floyd is a really nice, down to earth, cool dude especially towards fans. It looks like he plays a role, like the WWE wrestlers do, when the cameras are on to get paid.
You can totally disagree, but the facts are the facts. I think Mayweather could beat Pac - or anybody else out there - but for some reason, at the time, he was reluctant to fight him.
Marquez's losses to Pacquiao worked him into such a frenzy he was able to workout double time, he worked really really hard, so much the head of the anti-doping agency announced they strongly believed he was on steroids, but really it was just his work ethic, everybody knows that. At 39 years old he got into the best shape of his career and somehow managed to double his punching power moving up in weight after seeming to have no power at all in his first fights at welterweight.
PACQUIAO: It's up to my promoter. FLOYD: He(pacman) doesn't want to fight me.All he needs to do is step up to the ring. PACQUIAO: AnytIme, anywhere. FLOYD: Random blood and urine tests.
Please just fight Pac! No more excuses, let's not bring the past back. Just fight him what's important is Pac is ready to fight. Win or lose just give this to the fans please.
Finally someone who sees it for what it really is.. He agreed to all his terms, & he still won't take the biggest fight he can have. Lets be real, there's no other big fight for Mayweather left.... Mayweather won't ever fight Pacquiao.. Not as long as he's a left hand fighter, with speed & power.
Pacquiao fought a drained Oscar, catchweight 145 lbs. Pacquiao also ducked Mosley to fight Margarito, didn't fight Mosley until Floyd beat him. Miguel Cotto was at a catchweight 145 lbs after suffering a KO loss, Hatton suffered a KO loss already. The one thing you can't deny is that Pacquiao has a history of fighting guys at catchweights and when they are coming off a loss. Floyd-canelo is only Floyd's 2nd catchweight. and he fights winners.
That's because Floyd wasnt intersted, like I said he never took Manny seriously. It's all a bunch of media propaganda that leads people to believe he's a threat to Floyd. Manny didn't want to take the test, he turned it down for 5 straights and only agreed last year and decided to go back on his word when he said he was willing to go 50/50. The fight is only canceled when MANNY cant agree to the terms. Manny says he's the people's champ and doesnt fight for money, yet...
Commercially? Yes. As for americans not paying for ppv dont be mistaken Khan has a very large fan base outside of the USA and will give mayweather a run for his money.
Answer my question what would be more impressive? P acquio was fighting twice a year while Floyd was taking long layoffs fighting every year and half pacquio has fought more fights than floyd
Hi my name is Floyd Mayweather Jr and I have never fought anyone even close to a top 50 GOAT anywhere near their prime and the one I had a chance to fight I ducked, I'm the greatest that ever did it.
exactly hatton hurt floyd early in there fight. it took manny three punches to finish hatton off .it took floyd 11 rounds to finish off hatton . a smaller hatton had to move up in weight to fight floyd. floyds fans will never say that though
There was nothing tough about Floyd's fight against Hatton. He outclassed him from start to finish and won 8 of the 9 completed rounds. Walk in the park.
So your saying Pacquiao agreed to money less than a 50-50 but didn't agree to drug testing, then a year or two later Pacquiao agreed to the drug testing but wanted a 50-50
Excuses? Floyd said he will fight Pac if he takes the test, Pac said no, and came up with excuses. "Its weakens me" "I'm superstitious" etc. Floyd offered Pac a guarantee 40 million, the most Pac will ever make. Pac said no and he went on to fighter other fighters for less money. WTF!? Floyd called Manny directly on the phone after the 3rd fight with JMM. No response. Arum came up with excuses like "we need to build a stadium" "Pac's cut needs to heal" Pacwoman has too many excuses.
In the very 1st negotiations Manny Pacquiao agreed to the money, less than a 50-50 split but didn't want to take random blood and urine testing that's a fact! Then later on Floyd offered Manny the same deal, Manny then agreed to the testing but wanted more money. It's not Floyd's fault.
Floyd is the talented guy that will easily outpoint slow fighters. Yes he loves to fight slow fighters. If a Brawler fights slow fighters, he will still take punishments because he is always in attack mode.
Floyd has a speed advantage and that's what keeps him winning. The only boxer that has speed is Manny and Manny doesn't just hit fast and run, he does combos fast. He is the only one that might do it.
Well lets see...Saul Alvarez is undefeated coming off a victory over Trout, Cotto had 3 consecutive wins all due to stoppage, Ortiz had just taken the wbc title from Berto and had the biggest win of his career, Mosley was coming off a tko victory over Margarito, Marquez had just beaten Cassamayor and coming off a tko victory over Jaun Diaz, Hatton was undefeated and Koed Castillo in 4, DLH was #1 at 154 and coming off a tko in 6 against Mayorga. Do I need to go on or do you get the point?
You think Pacquiao is still a threat to Floyd? You would change your tune if they did fight sometime in the future and Floyd won, then you would say Pacquiao was washed up. So whatever.
Pac called Mayweather's bluff and agreed to all his demands, Mayweather's camp moved on to a different stalling tactic. I know there's a lot of talk around the subject, but if you properly research it, Mayweather dodged Pac. The danger for Mayweather now is that he faces a tarnished Pac somewhere down the line and loses the fight, that would look really, really bad for him.
he waited pacquiao to be hit alot so that he will take advantage and let pacquiao body weaken and thats what happend.. and now the fight i thought is no longer a wait because mayweather is a smart fghter he knows when the right tym to fights his opponent and he thinks that this time manny pacquiao has no chance of winning against him with the lost to bradley and a knockout lost to marquez,, even though he won his last fight with rios. c what happend to mosly mayweather and cotto mayweather.. after so manny years finally they fought because those fighters is not on their best shape.eventually pacquiao mayweather. mayweather win. hahaha mayweather is a smart fighter.
GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE... People just knew Canelo & Mosley was going to beat Mayweather, didn't happen. Now if Pacquiao fought Floyd, yall would say "Aww Pac-man was washed up." so cmon and get over it, Floyd is the best in boxing.
floyd fought mosley when he was ranked #1 in the world at welter weight. when pacquiao beat delahoya easy after the weight drain. mosely called out pacquiao numerous times and pacquiaos team declined everytime and freddy roach even said in an interview that mosely is to good and better than delahoya and would fight mosely if he came down to 142 pounds. floyd fought cotto at 154 when he was champion and won three in a row with KO. manny fought cotto at 145 after a close win/margo beat down.
Mosley admitted that he used steroids there is no proof that pacquio used steroids Floyd never said that pacquio was on steroids the testing was to benefit both sides
How has he not proven he is the best with 45-0? Just like he said, his whole legacy is supposed to be defined by 1 fight and who has Paq beaten that Floyd hasn't? Paq is still struggling with Marquez.
Mayweather is at the top. He's on another level. Mayweather has every right to pick his opponent. Floyd doesn't just nobodies. Mayweather just beat the most feared fighter at 154, but you're still talking shit. So what about Pac? Pac ducked everyone from 135, 140, 154, and cherry picked everyone from 147. He fights fighters coming off a loss or tough win then he drains them at catch-weight. Most of them are Floyd's leftovers. Floyd gets all the hate, even though no one is better than him.
Floyd isn't interested in Pacquiao because he knows he could actually lose the only thing he has going for him, his undefeated legacy. On paper Floyd looks like a great champ, in actuality he is a boring fighter with a superb boxing defense who wins by points, because he has no knock out power. When was his last knock out..Rick Hatton, who really was a nobody.
Oh my goodness, you ppl don't realize that floyd is a boxing GENUIS. At his age he hasn't slowed at all. He thought PAC was on roids at the time and u gotta respect that what if PAC was on it. Pacquiao is an awesome fighter but he can't OUTBOX floyd, Marquez said it oscar said it and some others.
Manny is the only fighter to ever tell Floyd No.. And on more then one occasion... With Manny every time floyd wanted the fight its No.... I don't want no testing... No... I want more than 40 million.
He will be remembered as the greatest defensive fighter and one of the greatest fighters ever. Judging by your choice of words I can see that you dont know much about boxing."Warrior Spirit" "Toe to Toe"? This isnt a fucking cartoon. Most people say they have 'heart', 'a warrior spirit' or 'i go toe to toe' to make up for their lack of defense,ring iq, speed or anything that takes skill. To me those words mean 'i can take a punch very well'. Floyds career is not defined by fighting manny.
I would love to see Floyd fight one of the belt holders at 160 to see if he can get his sixth belt in six weight divisions after he beats Canelo. I think Floyd can beat some of the guys at 160 but in catchweight. Now 168 is a different story.
First of all, we don't know for sure how many buys the Floyd-Pac fight would have been so to say "Floyd turned down 2.5million ppv buys" I honestly believe the fight wouldn't have broke Floyd-Oscars record. Pac is no where near Oscars status.
I agree, if Pacman doesn't knock Floyd out, Floyd will win by points in a decision. That is why Floyd is afraid to face Manny, because he puts his undefeated legacy at risk. But if your the best you've got to prove it and fight the best.
He didn't lose to Marquez EVERY TIME, MR SHIT FOR BRAINS. I believe he only lost ONCE against Marquez. I swear Pac losing to Marquez is the BEST THING that has ever happened to Gayweather; It has given him the ULTIMATE EXCUSE NOT TO EVER FIGHT PAC. You Black Americans sound like you're ready to ADOPT MARQUEZ as ONE OF YOUR OWN. Once again, just because Pac lost to Marquez does NOT mean that Gayweather can beat him. And yes, Pac vs Gayweather would be WAY BIGGER than this fight against CANELO.
because all floyd fought are good fighters who are either slower than him and has questionable stamina. What HE FEARS about pacquiao, is because he knows pacquiao has faster hands than him, throws more punches, punches harder than him, faster and stronger legs, takes a punch to deliver 4, and can do all that for 12 rounds and not slowing down. not to mention that his philly shell won't work on a southpaw, and pacquiaos the fastest southpaw in welter. THATS WHY FLOYD AVOIDS PACQUIAO. nuff said
This guy is the biggest coward in the history in boxing.
Just listened to the video again it's been a while since I last did that. In the video Mayweather states that he is one of the first athletes to talk about Olympic random blood testing, however, he doesn't do Olympic random drug testing. As far as I know there are only two fighters out there that do Random Performance Enhancing Drug testing and one of them is Nonito Donier who has been doing it for years for everyone of his fights, the other fighter I cannot recall his name.
Also Mayweather talks about Pacquiao needing to solve the Marquez problem and Bradley problem. Which if anyone saw the Bradley vs Pacquiao fight you would see that Pac won that fight and he was robbed by the judges. Also, Pac has already beaten Marquez three times, the reason why these two fighters keep fighting is because they put on wars in the ring and the fans are entertained, and win, lose, or draw the fans have a hard time deciding who really won...minus the fourth fight in which Marquez knocks Pac out.
Mayweather then says "he needs to beat these guys before he can step into the Lions Den with Floyd Mayweather". Never actually having been into a lions den, I'm assuming that's a dangerous place to be, however, if Floyd is referring to himself as the Lion...that doesn't seem like it's a very scary place anymore, unless he is referring to the judges as the lions, since that's how he actually wins his fights is through the judges score cards, then maybe it is a scary place for Pacquiao to be in.
The first time I heard a champion ask too many conditions before fighting somebody. Never heard Ali, Foreman, Duran, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Tyson, Holyfield etc ask that much.
The more obstacles a Champion/Boxer puts up to prevent a fight from happening the LESS that boxer want that fight.
Floyd is a ducker and dodger, we all know that...
only fights ppl he knows he can beat
mayweather can never claims he is the best fighter until he'd fought and beat pacquiao. mayweather is very clever, he'll not fight mosley when mosley was at his best. he will do the same with pacquiao. ali was voted the fighter of the century because he's never dodge fighter.

Oh you're very welcome!
Floyd has 2 fights left before retirement, Now that Pacquiao is Back, it should be Floyd's Last Fight, After May.
He says Pac needs to get past Bradley and Marquez to go up into his level to fight him, but then he contradicts himself by stepping down and fighting a lower rank fighter like Maidana, what a lying coward Mayweather is.
this guys so arrogant that he can't even say who would give him a hard time in the ring. i just keep on loosing respect for him
You are forgetting that many all time greats like Ali, and Ray Leonard were just as arrogant. Ali was probably the most arrogant boxer during his press conferences and even in the ring, he would talk smack.
22dab95 at least Ali could admit who would give him a hard time in the ring

Pacquiao VS Mayweather fight will go down in Boxing history as the "biggest fight that never happened."

All your comments was clearly bias and exaggerated and disrespectful. So i won't argue with you go to floyds lap and pump it.
-"Pac said no"
Pacman agreed to take the test before the fight, at the night of the fight, and after the fight.
-"he went on other fighters for less money"
Pac agreed for 45-55 split, still denied. Then Floyd fought other fighters for less.
-"Floyd called Manny, no response."
They had a conversation, nothing was agreed.
Floyd "Excuses" Mayweather. Dude never wanted any part of Pacquiao.
Stick to what you do best Floyd. Beating Women, bigotry, racism and ducking opponents.
I've never seen a guy so scared and Hell bent on avoiding one fighter in all my life, all the past great champions fought all comers, but Mayweather comes up with nothing but excuses.
was and still is the most lucrative fight in boxing
Because that's what Mayweather will forever be known for. Running from his biggest fight with Pacquiao.
I'm really trying my hardest to like Floyd because of his topnotch boxing skills and his sense of humor. He's entertaining, inside or outside the ring, and that's always likable in a fighter.

Floyd is actually nicer here lol
less speech impediment..lol
I've heard from a few people (white college guys for whatever its worth) I know who've actually met him off camera in Michigan that Floyd is a really nice, down to earth, cool dude especially towards fans. It looks like he plays a role, like the WWE wrestlers do, when the cameras are on to get paid.
"Pacquiao has Timothy Bradley problems.....he has Marquez problems... Marquez was one of my easiest fights...." Lol! That is priceless ....
You can totally disagree, but the facts are the facts. I think Mayweather could beat Pac - or anybody else out there - but for some reason, at the time, he was reluctant to fight him.
To quote Roger Mayweather "Most people dont know shit about boxing"
lol good one.. did i hit a soft spot? i'm sorry!! lol hahaha..
Marquez's losses to Pacquiao worked him into such a frenzy he was able to workout double time, he worked really really hard, so much the head of the anti-doping agency announced they strongly believed he was on steroids, but really it was just his work ethic, everybody knows that.

Please just fight Pac! No more excuses, let's not bring the past back. Just fight him what's important is Pac is ready to fight. Win or lose just give this to the fans please.

do you it Floyd Mayweather: Strike while the iron is hot with Pacquiao
His excuses make no sense. He should just say: "I don't fight fighters that could possibly beat me, I want to stay undefeated".
He spoke about himself in the third person........HE SPOKE ABOUT HIMSELF IN THE THIRD PERSON!
It has no weight to Floyd, but to boxing fans, it is the only fight people want to see. Floyd is scared shitless of Manny.
That's because Floyd wasnt intersted, like I said he never took Manny seriously. It's all a bunch of media propaganda that leads people to believe he's a threat to Floyd. Manny didn't want to take the test, he turned it down for 5 straights and only agreed last year and decided to go back on his word when he said he was willing to go 50/50. The fight is only canceled when MANNY cant agree to the terms. Manny says he's the people's champ and doesnt fight for money, yet...
thats a huge relief for Floyd Mayweather, he's SCARED OF MANNY.
Floyd doenst have to fight Foreman, he fought the guy that knocked him out.
And the khan fight has "Weight" ?
Commercially? Yes.
As for americans not paying for ppv dont be mistaken Khan has a very large fan base outside of the USA and will give mayweather a run for his money.
You are the one who is mistaken the pacquaio vs mayweather fight would bring in untold revenue !
Lol, u just beat him with his own logic haha.
Answer my question what would be more impressive? P acquio was fighting twice a year while Floyd was taking long layoffs fighting every year and half pacquio has fought more fights than floyd
Pacquiao is not focused on boxing like he was years ago, yeah this is still the fight everyone wants to see. but it's not gonna happen which is sad
Hi my name is Floyd Mayweather Jr and I have never fought anyone even close to a top 50 GOAT anywhere near their prime and the one I had a chance to fight I ducked, I'm the greatest that ever did it.
He made the mistake of watching Floyd fight before the fight and got so bored he had to take a breather.
exactly hatton hurt floyd early in there fight. it took manny three punches to finish hatton off .it took floyd 11 rounds to finish off hatton . a smaller hatton had to move up in weight to fight floyd. floyds fans will never say that though
THIS IS WHAT FLOYD HAS BEEN WAITING BUT THE FIGHT STILL HAS WEIGHT AND IT'S STILL HOT !
Despite Pacquiao's losses, you can see he still wants no part of him, even though he'd make tremendous money.
"the less you get hit the longer you last' - Mayweather LOL
There was nothing tough about Floyd's fight against Hatton. He outclassed him from start to finish and won 8 of the 9 completed rounds. Walk in the park.
Floyd "Nobody likes to lose, everyone likes to win. And thats why I wont fight Pacquiao" LOL!!!
So your saying Pacquiao agreed to money less than a 50-50 but didn't agree to drug testing, then a year or two later Pacquiao agreed to the drug testing but wanted a 50-50
Excuses?
Floyd said he will fight Pac if he takes the test, Pac said no, and came up with excuses. "Its weakens me" "I'm superstitious" etc.
Floyd offered Pac a guarantee 40 million, the most Pac will ever make. Pac said no and he went on to fighter other fighters for less money. WTF!?
Floyd called Manny directly on the phone after the 3rd fight with JMM. No response. Arum came up with excuses like "we need to build a stadium" "Pac's cut needs to heal"
Pacwoman has too many excuses.
In the very 1st negotiations Manny Pacquiao agreed to the money, less than a 50-50 split but didn't want to take random blood and urine testing that's a fact! Then later on Floyd offered Manny the same deal, Manny then agreed to the testing but wanted more money. It's not Floyd's fault.
Floyd is the talented guy that will easily outpoint slow fighters. Yes he loves to fight slow fighters.
If a Brawler fights slow fighters, he will still take punishments because he is always in attack mode.
Floyd has a speed advantage and that's what keeps him winning. The only boxer that has speed is Manny and Manny doesn't just hit fast and run, he does combos fast. He is the only one that might do it.
when you win our lose, legacy is you.. fighter is fighter.. what ever you say your legacy has the story
If you think Canelo Alvarez isnt any good you arent a boxing fan. The guy is 22 and can flat out fight.
Your point is backed by hearsay, my point is backed by facts. One fight doesnt define a fighters career, and I could easily say the same about Manny.
people say floyd cherry picks because hes to skilled for anybody at 147-154 pounds.
Well lets see...Saul Alvarez is undefeated coming off a victory over
Trout, Cotto had 3 consecutive wins all due to stoppage, Ortiz had just taken the wbc title from Berto and had the biggest win of his career, Mosley was coming off a tko victory over Margarito, Marquez had just beaten Cassamayor and coming off a tko victory over Jaun Diaz, Hatton was undefeated and Koed Castillo in 4, DLH was #1 at 154 and coming off a tko in 6 against Mayorga. Do I need to go on or do you get the point?
You think Pacquiao is still a threat to Floyd? You would change your tune if they did fight sometime in the future and Floyd won, then you would say Pacquiao was washed up. So whatever.
Pac called Mayweather's bluff and agreed to all his demands, Mayweather's camp moved on to a different stalling tactic. I know there's a lot of talk around the subject, but if you properly research it, Mayweather dodged Pac. The danger for Mayweather now is that he faces a tarnished Pac somewhere down the line and loses the fight, that would look really, really bad for him.
he waited pacquiao to be hit alot so that he will take advantage and let pacquiao body weaken and thats what happend.. and now the fight i thought is no longer a wait because mayweather is a smart fghter he knows when the right tym to fights his opponent and he thinks that this time manny pacquiao has no chance of winning against him with the lost to bradley and a knockout lost to marquez,, even though he won his last fight with rios. c what happend to mosly mayweather and cotto mayweather.. after so manny years finally they fought because those fighters is not on their best shape.eventually pacquiao mayweather. mayweather win. hahaha mayweather is a smart fighter.
GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE... People just knew Canelo & Mosley was going to beat Mayweather, didn't happen. Now if Pacquiao fought Floyd, yall would say "Aww Pac-man was washed up." so cmon and get over it, Floyd is the best in boxing.
The Mayweather fight no longer has much weight.
floyd fought mosley when he was ranked #1 in the world at welter weight. when pacquiao beat delahoya easy after the weight drain. mosely called out pacquiao numerous times and pacquiaos team declined everytime and freddy roach even said in an interview that mosely is to good and better than delahoya and would fight mosely if he came down to 142 pounds.
floyd fought cotto at 154 when he was champion and won three in a row with KO. manny fought cotto at 145 after a close win/margo beat down.
Mosley admitted that he used steroids there is no proof that pacquio used steroids Floyd never said that pacquio was on steroids the testing was to benefit both sides
He offered him 40mil to fight manny said no
How has he not proven he is the best with 45-0? Just like he said, his whole legacy is supposed to be defined by 1 fight and who has Paq beaten that Floyd hasn't? Paq is still struggling with Marquez.
because floyd mayweather dodged a bullet a few years ago when the fight was offered... he knew PacMan woulda kicked his ass back then....
Mayweather is at the top. He's on another level.
Mayweather has every right to pick his opponent. Floyd doesn't just nobodies.
Mayweather just beat the most feared fighter at 154, but you're still talking shit.
So what about Pac?
Pac ducked everyone from 135, 140, 154, and cherry picked everyone from 147.
He fights fighters coming off a loss or tough win then he drains them at catch-weight. Most of them are Floyd's leftovers.
Floyd gets all the hate, even though no one is better than him.
floyd has no right to say bradley problems, he hasnt even grown the balls to fight bradley, OR TROUT and hes saying pacquiao has problems
That never happened. There were only two fight negotiations and Manny ran from both.
MARQUEZ is he's easiest fight.. BOOM !! But he cant fight the man who was knocked down by Marquez.. ( tv host to floyd... ) VERY GOOD!!!!
i'm sorry but you sound so fucking dumb
Lol.....
Floyd isn't interested in Pacquiao because he knows he could actually lose the only thing he has going for him, his undefeated legacy. On paper Floyd looks like a great champ, in actuality he is a boring fighter with a superb boxing defense who wins by points, because he has no knock out power. When was his last knock out..Rick Hatton, who really was a nobody.
Martinez didn't want to fight at 147 manny had to decide the weight of the fight not sergio martinez.
and if he does what are you gonna say?
just be patient people.....floyd still need more time to increase his punching power before facing pacquiao.
Oh my goodness, you ppl don't realize that floyd is a boxing GENUIS. At his age he hasn't slowed at all. He thought PAC was on roids at the time and u gotta respect that what if PAC was on it. Pacquiao is an awesome fighter but he can't OUTBOX floyd, Marquez said it oscar said it and some others.
I ment mayweather, sorry about the confusion.
Manny is the only fighter to ever tell Floyd No.. And on more then one occasion... With Manny every time floyd wanted the fight its No.... I don't want no testing... No... I want more than 40 million.
Random blood in your intestine lol
Random blood, Urine Testing
The man will never get his props
since Manny got knocked out recently the Mayweather fight doesn't seem so important now
You meant Mayweather right? Pacquiao isn't the one trying to run. Also Mayweather is fighting Saul Alvarez next.
He will be remembered as the greatest defensive fighter and one of the greatest fighters ever. Judging by your choice of words I can see that you dont know much about boxing."Warrior Spirit" "Toe to Toe"? This isnt a fucking cartoon. Most people say they have 'heart', 'a warrior spirit' or 'i go toe to toe' to make up for their lack of defense,ring iq, speed or anything that takes skill. To me those words mean 'i can take a punch very well'. Floyds career is not defined by fighting manny.
I would love to see Floyd fight one of the belt holders at 160 to see if he can get his sixth belt in six weight divisions after he beats Canelo. I think Floyd can beat some of the guys at 160 but in catchweight. Now 168 is a different story.
First of all, we don't know for sure how many buys the Floyd-Pac fight would have been so to say "Floyd turned down 2.5million ppv buys" I honestly believe the fight wouldn't have broke Floyd-Oscars record. Pac is no where near Oscars status.
We're talking defense here, learn what it means.
I believe Floyd would win but he sure gets nervous and evasive when talking about the Pacquiao fight.
I agree, if Pacman doesn't knock Floyd out, Floyd will win by points in a decision. That is why Floyd is afraid to face Manny, because he puts his undefeated legacy at risk. But if your the best you've got to prove it and fight the best.
He didn't lose to Marquez EVERY TIME, MR SHIT FOR BRAINS. I believe he only lost ONCE against Marquez. I swear Pac losing to Marquez is the BEST THING that has ever happened to Gayweather; It has given him the ULTIMATE EXCUSE NOT TO EVER FIGHT PAC. You Black Americans sound like you're ready to ADOPT MARQUEZ as ONE OF YOUR OWN. Once again, just because Pac lost to Marquez does NOT mean that Gayweather can beat him. And yes, Pac vs Gayweather would be WAY BIGGER than this fight against CANELO.
im a huge pacquiao nut hugger and I don't hate this interview..why so much hate?
Finally, someone talking some sense.
Mayweather wants to check if Pacquiao has magical powers and have a Salem Witch Trial.
because all floyd fought are good fighters who are either slower than him and has questionable stamina. What HE FEARS about pacquiao, is because he knows pacquiao has faster hands than him, throws more punches, punches harder than him, faster and stronger legs, takes a punch to deliver 4, and can do all that for 12 rounds and not slowing down. not to mention that his philly shell won't work on a southpaw, and pacquiaos the fastest southpaw in welter. THATS WHY FLOYD AVOIDS PACQUIAO. nuff said
I don't think Manny has to prove himself that he should box Marquez and Bradly just to fight Mayweather.
OK THEN. as you said floyd is smart his smart enough to know that pacquiao is threat to his record
Well done for putting an old video up ???
