(ThyBlackMan.com) There’s only one fight that every boxing fan wants to see, and it’s not Floyd Mayweather Jr. against fill-in-the-blank. It’s Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao, a bout that would pit the world’s two top pound-for-pound boxers.
Unfortunately, the Mayweather camp’s recent announcement of a date for his next fight merely intimated that Pacquiao would be the opponent. “We’re looking to make the biggest fight possible, and everyone knows what that fight is: the little fella,” Mayweather adviser Leonard Ellerbe told ESPN.com.
Yes, everyone knows what that fight is. But not everyone believes that Mayweather really wants to make that fight. A few days before the announcement, Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum said that the fight will never happen because Mayweather knows he’d be knocked out. Arum made the comment during media day for Pacquiao’s Nov. 12 bout against Juan Manuel Marquez.
Now Arum theorizes that Mayweather was trying to steal some spotlight from Pacquiao, categorizing the announcement as a “joke.” That’s the view held by 59 percent of voters who chose “Of course not, just more Mayweather blather” in a USA Today survey that asked if the fight was really going to happen.
Mayweather takes exception to anyone who suggests he’s ducking “Pac-Man” because he fears a blemish on his 42-0 record. He called in to a satellite radio show Thursday and engaged in an expletive-filled exchange with the host, who had questioned Mayweather’s desire to fight Pacquiao.

First off, how do any of you expect a person to respect your opinion or at least understand your point of view when you write like a third grader? Second of all, stop going off of old information. People are allowed to change their minds, right? Third, stop with the incessant selective hearing. None of Floyd’s supporters want to do a simple Google search to see if anything’s changed. They’re all quick to look at the “no” instead of the “yes” that he agreed to the testing MONTHS ago. And to top it off, folks are still stating that Manny’s on PED’s because of supposed weight gain, etc. If that’s the case, Floyd’s just as suspect because his weight gains throughout his career isn’t that much different from Manny’s. Don’t believe me? Google “Pacquiao-Mayweather: Comparing Their Rise Through the Weight Classes” (an article by Michael Sellers). Bottom line is, neither Floyd nor Manny own the sport of boxing. Manny, take the test. Floyd, the test shouldn’t even be a question if you’re the champ you say you are.
Well. Maybe Mayweather is worried that, instead of Pac feeding him sushi, he’ll have to cook up sum goo ole friedz chickenz for the man.
I can recall last week 24/7 pacman said that mayweather wants too much on money. Bob arum
Has changed their reasoning many times. manny is afraid of needles, but has tatooos. Manny will
Get weak… Too much money mayweather wants. ok
He will test but 14 days before the fight, thatsnot random testing… How is it that someone from another country gets the same right we have. Congressman or not… Floyd is an american and I alway put my country first. Right or wrong same with pinos. Bur for an american to root for pacman is crazy. Thats like a pino to root for mayweather.
Yo everybody needs to chill out and think logically here. Why do we black people get all over sensitive when someone got an opinion on mayweather? why y’all sensitive like a bitch? I like Mayweather, and I WANT HIM TO WIN, but seriously dude why make soooo much demand? If you think a fighter is soooo good that you think he’s taking PED, shows a sign of weakness an fear. The Art of War says that if you show insecurities in a heated back shows weakness and fear. Mayweather shows both of these qualities and in the radio interview with RUDE JUDE shows this. Mayweather really needs to man up and show the world what he does best, WOOP SOME ASS!!! If he wanted people, I MEAN EVERYONE NOT JUST US BLACK PEOPLE, that he is the best, he would fight anyone with no excuse, speculations, etc. TO BE THE BEST, YOU FIGHT WITH THE DEMEANOR THAT YOU CAN WIN AT ALL COST, with even a person you think is on PED.

C’MON PPL. WAKE UP. LET’S RECALLTHE TIME LINE HERE. IF PPL DON’T THINK , THE TREASON WHY THIS FIGHTS HASN’T HAPPENED IS BECAUSE OF BOB ARUM. ALL THE RUMOR PPL ARE SAYING ABOUT MAYWEATHER CAME DIRECTLY OUT OF BOB’S MOUTH. MAYWEATHER NEVER SAID ANY OF THE REASON THAT BOB HAS SAID. ONE THING FOR SURE IS THAT, BOB HAS CHANGED THE REASON WHY THE FIGHT HASNT HAPPENED AT EVERY CHANCE HE GETS. REMEMBER ALL THE DEMANDS BOB AND PAC MADE WASN’T DENIED BY MAYWEATHER. BUT THE ONE REQUEST MAYWEATHER ASKED FOR IS SUCH A PROBLEM FOR THEM. MAYWEATHER STUCK TO HIS REQUEST OF OLYMPIC STYLE DRUG TEST, HE HAS NOT BUDGED FROM THAT WHILE BOB MAKES MORE EXCUSES THEN A MAN GOING TO JAIL. EVEN AGREED TO THEIR DUMB ASS DEMAND OF GIVING UP TEN MILLION DOLLRS FOR EVERY POUND HE IS OVER ON WEIGHT. MAYWEATHER STILL SAID OK. BUT BOB CHANGES HIS REASON LIKE A MAN CHANGING DRAWERS. BOB EVEN SAID THIS FIGHT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. HE IS DIRECTLY TELLING U, HE IS NOT ALLOWING IT. Y PPL SAY IT’S MAYWEATHER NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND STOP STOP HATING. NONE PROBLEM IE THIS. HE HAS A BITTER TASTE IN HIS MOUTH FOR MONEYMAYWEWTHER, HE IS STILL MAD AT HIM FOR LEAVING HIS PROMO TEAM AND STARTED HIS OWN, WHICH STOPPED BOB FROM STEALING MONEYS CASH FLOW. NOW NOT IF BUT WHEN MONEY KICKS THAT AZZ, BOBS CASH COW LOSES VALUE, NO MORE MILLION DOLLAR DEALS, THEY ARE GONE.BOBS WILL LOSE AGAIN TO MAYWEATHER WHICH IRRITATES BOB, THIS IS THE REASON Y. BOBS EMOTIONAL AND BUT HURT. IF NOT LET MANNY FIGHT AND STEP THE HELP BACK BOB AND WATCH THE REST OF UR EARNINGS FLY DOWN THE DRAIN LIKE MADOFF DID HIS INVESTORS.
Hold on this site is always hating on Mayweather. But Floyd has already signed the contract two years ago. But Manny refused because he did not want take olympic style testing. Stop just blaming Floyd because Manny is just as responsible.
Ok, peep this y’all. Mayweather being scared is just speculations. Pacman being on steroids is also speculations. Why are we accusing these men when we got no solid proof? Mayweather perhaps wants to build the fight up so he can make more money. And for pacman, he is just a hardworking mang! He trains hard. Thats probably why he sooo damn good! PEOPLE GOTTA STOP HATIN ON BOTH OF THESE GUYS. And people gotta stop being sooo damn racist and acting LIKE THEY KNOW EVERYTHING! THE ONLY WAY WE WILL KNOW IS IF THESE TWO NIGGAS FIGHT ALREADY!!! Peace out from Virginia mofos!
