Out of Pocket: Manny Pacquiao Says “I’m Sure Mayweather Doesn’t Want to Fight Me… He Doesn’t Care About People”
Floyd Mayweather, Jr., News, Sports, out of pocket
Posted by Bossip Staff
Manny Pacquiao should be worried about getting past Miguel Cotto before he starts talking about Floyd Mayweather Jr., but he opened his mouth and started woofing already:
Manny Pacquiao believes the biggest potential fight in boxing will never happen because Floyd Mayweather Jr. wants no part…… of him. Pacquiao is training in Hollywood for his meeting with Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14 in Las Vegas, but the pound-for-pound champion spared a moment Thursday to evaluate his chances of fighting Mayweather, the unbeaten pay-per-view king. Although the matchup almost certainly would be a financial bonanza for both fighters, Pacquiao thinks fans shouldn’t hold their breath. “I don’t think it’s going to happen,” Pacquiao said. “I’m sure he doesn’t want to fight.” Mayweather has been circumspect about his plans for his next bout, saying only that he has never ducked anybody and would consider any opponent. In his comeback bout from a 21-month layoff, Mayweather demolished Juan Manuel Marquez on Sept. 19 in a fight that generated more than 1 million pay-per-view buys. Mayweather’s advisers claim they haven’t ruled out a bout with Pacquiao, likely among the world’s few fighters who could match Money’s speed. But the Filipino champion has surprisingly strong opinions about why it won’t happen.
“Boxing for him is like a business,” Pacquiao said. “He doesn’t care about the people around him watching. He doesn’t care if the fight is boring, as long as the fight is finished and he gets [plenty of] money. … I want people to be happy. You have a big responsibility as a boxer.”
We think Manny is getting way too far ahead of himself…this dude will be lucky to even beat Cotto. We’ll have to see what Floyd “Money” has to say about this one.

Thats real lawd. That is exactly what is going to happen. He is then going to have to beat up shane mosley, then cotto, then paul williams will probably beat him because that is a gang of wars.

MAyweather is definitely the man but please don’t sleep on Pac Man at all. He is the truth too and that would be Mayweathers most challenging fight to date. I think Mayweather would win but it would be very close.

I know boxing because I’ve step foot in the ring as a boxer too. I’ve watched coutless fights and am a full blown Money May fan. Now that I have that out that way. Let’s talk on ol’ Manny.
He is going to get a rude awakening from Cotto. Cotto has a chin unlike others and he can body punch like a gorilla. I know Pac-man is good but you have to look at the two fighters and weight their styles. Cotto looks to me like he can wear Manny down more than I think Manny could knock him out.
So all that being said…Money May is going to fight Cotto due to the upset win he will have over Manny. Sorry Manny fans. He is a good fighter but I don’t think he can bang with Cotto.

Mayweather’s my boy but I don’t think the fight will happen because in Floyd’s mind he doesn’t have anything else to prove, like I said in his mind. But this would be a great fight because Pac would chase him down and try to turn the fight into a brawl

Right now, Manny is the best out there. Many have forgotten that he’s not the same one-handed fighter that he was 4-5 years ago. He’s got speed and is relentless but not like Hatton.
I honestly think that a fight between Manny and Floyd would be boring because Floyd would do his turtle shell defense with his head tucked to his shoulder and avoid exchanges with Manny. Cotto is a good fighter but he like Oscar, Hatton, etc. are just too slow for Manny. Speed is not a forte of Cotto and the chin that some speak of is still suspect. I don’t think he’s gotten back what he lost against the cheat Margarito. It’s unfortunate that dude cheated but it took something out of Miguel. Now he faces a man who has some power but alot of speed. Yes, Miguel is the bigger man but he’s not skilled like Marquez to counter and make the adjustments necessary to beat Manny.
If he beats Manny, I’d be shocked! Floyd on the other hand is all about money and showing it off. It’s a shame that a guy that is “freaky” talented like him has to do all of this bravado and showing off. He has enough talent to make changes in the sport and in society. Take some of that mouth he’s got and effect change in society. Stop bragging about your money and start talking about something important to society.

What will actually happen is what happened when boxing started putting money first. Floyd will dance, dance, dance around Manny for a couple of years and then want to fight him after Manny is starting to give it up and move on. Gone are the days of the “super fights”. Like back in the day when title fights were still televised on ABC and CBS. When the best fought the best at that time in their prime. Now because of money, Floyd will put Manny in a situation where he will ask for so much that he knows Manny and his camp will turn it down just so he can say he wanted to fight Manny. Manny wins on Nov. 14th, the next fight should be him and Floyd in March/April, period. If they both think that are as bad as they think that they are, then if the fight generates say 50 million, then the winner takes 30 and the loser takes 20…

What does Floyd Mayweather say before he steps into the ring with ANYBODY? “Run me my money, IN CASH!” (Ocean’s 13 reference, for those who don’t know) Pac Man is tough, but he should focus on Cotto, who’s no slouch, before he starts ginning up Money!

bossip truly kisses floyd a**,
Honestly I like both fighters, truthfully Floyd is a great fighter, you cannot deny his skills, but he is also scared to fight Manny P at this time. Floyd is where he wants to be in reference to making money and thats it, he is not truly trying to be pound for pound the best. Cause you would fight the best at the time for the mega fights,
Good marketing bye Manny to call Floyd out, he needs to start being more vocal, because that might be the only way to make Floyd take the fight, the only way right now Floyd will jump into a fight w/ Manny is if he loses to Cotto, which is a possiblity but i dont see it happening since Cotto is still dealing emotionally w/ the loss to Cheating Magarito. I do think that loss should be waved from his record cause Magarito did cheat for that fight hands down
YUCK FOU
10/30/09, 12:19:pm
SHIIIII…HE’S RIGHT!! FLOYD AIN’T TRYING TO FIGHT A REAL OPPONENT!! HE’S LIKE ROY JONES, HE’LL WAIT UNTIL HE’S OLD AND FILTHY THEN HE’LL TAKE A FIGHT LIKE PAC; THAT WAY, IF HE LOSES, EVERYONE WILL SAY HE WAS PAST HIS PRIME WHEN HE LOST. THIS IS NOT THE 70’s and 80’s THESE DUDES AREN’T REAL WARRIORS.

MAYWEATHER HAS AN UNDEFEATED TITLE>>>SO HE DOESN’T WANT TO EMBARR***** HIMSELF SO YEAH HE’S RIGHT!!!
Also it is definitely about the money with Mayweather and most black athletes…the competition and the show should always be from a fan’s view but lately it’s all about a businessman’s view.

If fans were more vocal they could have a say just like if people were more vocal we could take part in politics but since we take what they give us and still give them our money…they figure they can decide for us since we followers anyways…hence twitter…follow me…

I boxed as a kid. I do it now just for a work out. But if you think Pacman can beat Mayweather you are trippin. I like Pacquiao but he don’t want it.Mayweather IS arrogant but the boys talent speaks for itself.

Bossip, you guys are so bias. I like Mayweather boxing style, but come on, Manny is an exciting fighter, who will give it his all. Mayweather is a smart boxer to the point, he can bore you, just like Hopkins. Yet, Cotto, and Manny are exciting fighters. I really think you need to be neutral and stop with this yellow journalism. Manny and Mayweather would be a great fight, and I really think it would be a toss up.

Bossip, stop being racist, Manny will destroy Mayweather. Just because Manny is not black doesn’t mean he won’t beat Mayweather. Be real. And he’s right, Mayweather is ONLY about the money.

Mayweather will Fight Manny!!! Its just that Manny’s Promoter Bob the Snake Arum isn’t gonna make a good deal for Manny. First off Floyd is his own boss so he will get his money. Now manny on the other hand has to pay Arum and then he gets his share. so out right Manny’s money isnt gonna be like Floyds money. But its gonna be so much money that it could still be alright. Second Bob Arum is a dirty shady guy. he still owes Floyd money from the Zab judah fight and auturo gatti fight. Youtube has the interview. the only reason this fight doesnt get made is because Bob arum will counter with a terrible deal to make it seem like Floyd doesnt want to fight Manny! Why else would he come back? to fight bums? Everybody said JMM beat Manny both times and he’s the real P4P king, so floyd came back and crushed him. same thing will happen to manny who wild style will be exposed because of the great counter punching ability of floyd. It will be a good fight, but Floyd still wins. TOO MUCH SKILL!!!
P.S.
Im not holding anybody up because I like manny and PBF. Floyd is just the better skilled fighter.

@ Duke, this fight will be a one-sided boxing clinic, not Mayweather’s most challenging fight! Everybody was on Marquez’s band-wagon, until he took a one-sided beating, after it was over they said Mayweather should fight someone his own size, these same Mayweather haters will be saying the same thing after, After He punishes Pacquiao, Matterfact, this fight won’t even happen, it will be Mayweather vs. Cotto, early next Year!! Bet that!

stop slurpin mayweather. pacquaio should be focused on cotto, but he is right, mayweather is looking for big money, EASY fights, he aint trying to fight the best fighters at this point. If so his next fight will be against cotto, pac man or mosley, if not, then stop riding his jock bossip.

After watching that 24/7 series…I’m convinced Cotto is gonna put the beating on this dude. He started a training a month before him, has something to prove after being beat by a dude who cheated with plaster in his wraps, and is focused completely on the fight. Pacquiao has his mind on the flood in his country and is already thinking about a fight that hasn’t even been contracted yet.

Pac man is a hell of fighter but has he taken one to many shots to the head? Who the hell is in the ring getting their head beat in for the fun of it? Name me one boxer that isn’t chasing that big pay day? American fighters aren’t fighting for their entire country like Pac man & Cotto & many other fighters. At the end of the day it’s about the money.

Please, Mayether NEED to get his mush mouth pushed in. Fool is a good fighter, but damn arrogant. DO NOT under any cir*****stances sleep on Pac Man.

First off Mayweather will beat Pac, most boxing fan jus like to see fighters trade punches cuz its exciting but thats not the key to staying at the top, you have to fight smart which Mayweather is an expert at. His style is like krytonite to any brawler which he have been in the ring with many of them and made them all look bad. Face it! style make fights which Mayweather will simply pick that boy apart and beat him clearly on the scorecard or PacMan feeling the need to knock him out to win but get knocked trying. Pac style is no match for Mayweather him get hit too much, and Mayweather is too accurate which is why all of his bouts he keeps his contenders below 20% connect rate..Sorry you win like that

Floyd will loose this fight if takes it, Pacman is better. If I were Floyd i wouldnt fight this guy. He can now officially retire like Lewis did running away from Klitcho. Pacman wants Floyd, and he can beat Floyd.
