Pacman has already taken another fight in june i think (rumored to be Cotto). :-)
Mayweathers challenge came before the Cotto fight which doesn't make any sense because Pac crushed Cotto. I don't want to see that again... I want to see Manny get in there with Floyd !!!Quote:

I'm saddened by the Pacman v Mayweather situation. Mayweather dodged Pac for years and now they are both past their prime. I still don't understand why Mayweather ducked him for so long. I mean Mayweather is an AMAZING boxer with no losses vs Pacman's record which has losses. Now when they fight, age and decline are a factor for both boxers. I LOVE boxing, but stuff like Mayweather's ducking, fragmentation within boxing's circuits/belts, have eroded one of my favorite sports to watch. Who knows, I could totally be wrong and they'll unify all the boxing circuits under one belt, under one promotion, and have 0 fragmentation someday =D. Someone please tell me that boxing won't die after the Pacman vs Mayweather fight.
Same here bro. :-)Quote:

Mayweather ducking Pacquiao ??? Mayweather has never ducked a fighter... especially not Pacquiao.Quote:

Mayweather is the reason this fight isn't happening. He can say he wants to fight Pacquiao all he wants, but it's simply not true. If he really wanted to fight Pacman he would of accepted the terms of a 50/50 purse split and signed the contracts, but he didn't. Instead, he demanded he receive more then half of the purse, which is a classic duck move.Quote:

If I remember correctly didn't Pac agree to every one of Mayweather's demands except day of blood tests (because they made him woozy)?
Looks like I'm late with the info... I really don't want to see Pac fight Cotto again because the first fight wasn't even close. Now Marquez on the other hand... even though they fought three times already, I don't feel like it's been settled as to who is better between them.Quote:

This hurts me to watch because honestly, he has a chance at beating the Pacman. Mind you, I'm a big Manny fan, but Floyd is undefeated....vs champions. It would be like GSP verbally tapdancing around reasons why he won't fight someone. I just don't get why he won't fight Pacman. Someone mentioned that Mayweather isn't ducking Manny earlier. Maybe I'm wayyyyyy of in my interpretation of this, but it looks like ducking to me.....but then again, I'm not a professional boxing promoter, nor am I a professional boxer, so maybe I don't understand the language and/or tactics here. Someone set me straight if needs be on this.
