What's wrong admitting that his mother doesn't want him to fight? Steroid or no steroid there's a chance he might lose the fight and the "hero" status for the people of the filipino could be in jeopardy. I think its a big deal about his pride more than the money people been yapping about. I think Manny wants to fight but something is holding him back. I'm pretty sure it's Arum. Because if this is true that Manny officially did came out and stated he will accept the 14 days agreement. Why all the sudden Arum denied it saying it's all a lie? It's obviously if Manny lose to Mayweather, he(Arum) will no longer have a superstar status to make money off.
WTF is going on? Roach is saying the fight is going to happen? http://www.790thezone.com/instantreplay/Episodes.aspx?PID=1345
In the history of boxing, no one asked for additional test, then all of a sudden p***y ass Floyd starts demanding it. Pac already said he'll take the test 24 days before and RIGHT AFTER THE FIGHT. If ped is found on pac right after the fight, then his reputation would be tarnish and Floyd would definitely be #1. All this about Mayweather wanting to clean up the sport is pure bull****.
Make this fight happen in Africa, rumble in the jungle... That way everyone has to buy it on PPV and more money is being made...
Unfortunately, none of this is real. All the quotes from Manny are fake. He doesn't even have an official website.
He's doing it for his own personal gain. That said, I hope it sticks and other sports raise their testing guidelines. This has needed to happen for a long time. The NFL needs to really take a huge step here too. They won't, but they should. Floyd is a lot of things but a "p***y ass" is not one of them. Roach openly said that Manny would not fight Shane. Floyd just kicked his ass. How do you feel about Manny fighting Margarito or now possibly a Cotto rematch? That's really week. They can't even get Berto. Lulz
I would have picked Manny to beat Shane even after he beat Margarito. I like watching Manny fight. Honestly, I think he's dirty. That said, drug testing is so bad I'm sure plenty of people I support in various sports are.
I wanted Manny to fight Mosley over Cotto last year. There was sentiment Cotto was damaged goods. In contrast, Mosley was coming off a huge victory over Margarito, was every the African-American boxer the Mayweathers were asking Pacquiao to fight, and was the golden opportunity for Pacquiao to stop a fighter who was on a roll in contrast to DLH, Hatton, and Cotto who were recently defeated badly - the former two by Mayweather. That said, Manny still looked impressive over Cotto, though, nothing we haven't seen before.
I take my hat off to Mayweather as being the richest man in boxing. He is average joe that is able to cherry picks his opponents and be able to make millions off of it. That being said he still is a so call "p***y ass" He avoided a rematch that De La hoya clearly won by saying he'll go into retirement. Then a few months later he fights Ricky Hatton. After that Miguel Cotto calls him out and yet nothing happens. The media makes it seems like there is nobody for Floyd, but there's many more opportunities for him. He could go after the winner of Cotto/Foreman. Especially Cotto because that makes the most sense. In terms of dollars and cents, this will be bigger than Mosely fight because Cotto has a bigger drawing and they can choose to fight at WW or SWW. Of course Floyd is gonna pull that random blood test out of his ass again. At the time Pacquiao was entering WW from LWW, but he said he would fight the winner of mayweather/mosley after the Clottey fight. You realize Manny is only 5'5" and in shoes maybe 5'6" and throughout his entire career he fought people bigger than him. He enters the ring at fight night weighing exactly what he weighs the night before, which is 142 lbs. Where most WW including Cotto/Clottey enters the ring weighing around 160lbs+. Pac said he won't fight margarito because he's too big for him, which makes sense. It makes more sense for Mayweather to fight margarito. Like I said before the fight I wanna see his mayweather/cotto or he can go after foreman. For now Mayweather seems calm in his interviews after Mosley fight, but I won't be surprise if he starts shaking again when asked about Cotto/Foreman and other WW he has not fought.
I think you are on to something. Mayweather and Golden Boy also have always had issues with Arum. I've heard Arum on the radio before saying how "Floyd is a thug and hangs with thugs like J Prince." When I heard that I knew that the real issue is with Arum. Also De La Hoya whole inspiration for starting Golden Boy was because he felt guys like King and Arum were manipulating boxers and talking their money. I've always thought that this is more of an Arum issue than a Manny issue when it comes to the fight. He wants to discredit Golden Boy in general.
I am sick of the hype of this fight, but there is a quote from roach claiming that arum is once again going to deliver a proposal to the Filipino flash. Roach is saying that the fight is going to get done this time. For the sake of bbs boards I hope to gosh so. I am sick of it.
I guess there is no such thing as setting a precedent right? Something that has never been done, can't possibly ever be done. Tell that to Holyfield who is the only boxer to win the HW title four times and Ali who was the first to win the HW title 3 times (no, I'm not comparing Manny to them). But let's breakdown Manny's KOs. After being knocked out at 113 and before the first Marquez fight, he stopped 12 out of 13 boxers he faced. If you want to go further back, he had 17 KOs from 110-116. So yeah, he didn't just gain KO power recently. Now let's analyze his wins and KOs at the higher weight classes. Since most people say this, all his fights at higher weight were against shot fighters or low caliber fighters. He even has a questionable win over Marquez. He stopped 3k, Velasquez, Morales x2, Jorge Solis, David Diaz, DLH, Hatton and Cotto. By going off what everyone says, is it really out of this world that all the fighters he KO were already shot or not good enough? He doesn't get credit for a lot of his wins but its alarming he knocked out so many shot fighters? That doesn't make any sense. But I guess you were talking about his first 3 fights when he was younger at 107 where they all went the full 4 rounds twice and 6 rounds once.
