Manny Pacquiao has agreed to the demands of the Floyd Mayweather camp!

[Jordan Diddy Buk]

Promoter Bob Arum said Manny Pacquiao has agreed to the demands of the Floyd Mayweather camp regarding random drug testing and now the ball is in Floyd’s court as to whether the fight is on or off. A possible issiue for Floyd is legal problems his uncle/trainer Roger Mayweather is facing that could disrupt Floyd’s training camp.
—–
Room rates at the MGM Grand Resort in Las Vegas, as well as nearby properties, have been increased for the weekend of November 13 in anticipation of Pacquiao-Mayweather being finalized.
—–
Antonio Margarito will be in Las Vegas on Friday appearing before the Nevada State Athletic Commisssion in hopes of being granted a license to box in the state. He has not been licensed in the United States since being suspended by the California Commission in early 2009.

I thought you said Money was shook of Mosley, what happend breh

You better go back and read my posts. Lemme ask you sumthin, if you so sure you can easily beat and embarass and possibly ko this nicca Manny and make about 50 mil doing it. Why risk the fight by outing this nicca and his alleged steroid use?
Whjy hasn't this fight happened twice already if you Floyd and you all about "Money". Any answers. Love how you niccas pop up waaaaay after the fact but say nothing before fights.

Just to clarify, if you go back and read my posts, I was one of the only niccas saying way before the fight, that Mosley was too old and that Floyd should win pretty easily. Any of the regulars in the boxing discussions can c/s this and they have already. I also said Floyd was losing a step and was succeptible to the right hand. I only said Floyd was scared when Mosley agreed and signed everything and it took Floyd mad long to sign, and your boy got rocked by a senior citizen let's not forget. What do you think would've happened had that been Manny who rocked that nicca in the 2nd round and not ole man river. Ya'll Floyd niccas would've gone into hiding. Funny how some "boxing fans" only pop out the wordwork when Floyd name is mentioned.

And for the record, I've been saying Floyd should win this fight fairly easily as well. Stand down.

Merce you are bugging.... If Manny is juicing, Floyd would probably win either way but why risk it if your Floyd? It can't be assumed to be fear, it is just reasonable for anybody with so much or line to want a fair playing field. Especially, in a contact sport went its not just bragging rights and money on the line.

But you got to know this

Level PLAYING FIELD?!:?!? Nicca are you buggin, since when the fuck does Floyd ever want a level playing field with his opponents??!?!?! Marquez!?!?!? Hatton?!?!?!? That nicca never even fights niccas in his weight class!!!! Pacman, who he outweighs and has virtually every advantage over, he wants a level playing field with that cat??!?!?!? C'mon sun, that commentary is laughable. You couldn't have been serious.

You are comparing 10 lbs to PEDs..... and saying my statement is laughable. Moving up and down in weight classes is a normal part of boxing, and niggas got to stop playing this weight game. If both boxers sign to fight at a weight what ever comes with that it is still the boxer's job to get it done.... but in no way does it compare to a nigga on PEDs.

 

[Jordan Diddy Buk]

I got to laugh. People down playing factual fakery by pbf always fighting people he had some kind of advantage over to a mythical belief that manny was on peds. I got to laugh. But I am not even getting into that. I was just sharing news to my bgol brothers. I can't argue about the same old fuck shit I argued about a year ago.

I also read pbf wants 60-40 and manny wants 50-50. So I figure pbf will use not wanting to split the purse in half as a reason to back out. I hope he doesn't.

I don't know what "factual fakery" is? I'm not even claiming that Floyd isn't fighting cat's that he has an advantage over. Everybody he has fought he has had advantages over whether it is weight, speed, skills or whatever. I'm just saying why is possible drug use being compared to a weight advantage.

A drug free fight isn't outlandish.

Assuming he's on PED's, which there is no proof of at all. I feel like all this shit is catching up to Floyd and it's finna blow up in his face. You can only run and duck for so long man. You think Floyd doesn't think about all these things. About Manny being the only nicca capable of taking away that zero. Floyd got rocked by Shane as I said before, if it had been Pac......you think Floyd doesn't think about all that. I still say Floyd SHOULD win. I mean he's going into the ring with every natural advantage except power and fighting spirit. PED's in boxing is bullshit anyway, that shit isn't even proven to help a boxer in any way. Floyd saw what happened to Cotto and got very apprehensive. I'm convinced Floyd is absolutely mortified of losing his zero. It's his biggest and one of his only claims to greatness other than his skill and ability to bring in the green. Niccas have always said he ducked and cherry picked. Can you imagine what it would do to that ninja legacy if he lost.

Alaskan if you think having a ten pound weight advantage over a nicca ain't as bad as fighting a nicca on PED's then you've never boxed before. I'd rather fight the nicca on PED's than fight a nicca who naturally outsizes me by ten pounds, especially if I'm a small guy. If I outweigh a nicca by ten pounds and probably more by fight night, and have advantages in speed, and boxing ability and height and reach, then fuck it, let that nicca take all the PED's he wants. Floyd has always wanted every advantage over his opponents, practically every one of his "great" wins has an asterisk next to it - and this nicca wants a level playing field??!?!?! That's ridiculous, I don't know what to tell you if you actually believe that bullshit.

 

[Zeferino]

Coming in over the agreed weight is definitely just as dangerous and probably more dangerous than PED use.

The benefit of PED use in boxing is still myth at this point as there are no explicit examples of a fighter using PED's and looking like Superman or pulling off some out of this world performance. On the contrary, fighters that have been proven to be on PED's are usually caught right after a sub par performance. The Hall vs Jones fight is a good example. If it's all about the PED's, then Hall should have obliterated Jones because he had almost twice as much steroids in him than Jones did.

The benefit of coming in at over an agreed weight is way more proven to be dangerous than any PED use. Just ask Joey Gamache. Take a look at Jose Luis Castillo cheating in the second fight with Corrales and the obvious physical advantage he had by not having to make weight. Corrales was easily obliterated. Mayweather's refusal to make the agreed weight against Marquez was just the nail in the coffin for Marquez because there was nothing that he could bring to the table against Mayweather. Not because Mayweather is so great, but because Marquez was getting slapped all over the ring one fight before, at his best weight, by JUAN DIAZ! Yeah Marquez got the hail mary and kayoed Diaz but if he was life and death against Diaz I don't see how this could be such a great challenge for Mayweather especially with the fight happening two divisions up from Marquez's best weight.

Floyd shouldn't have to split no 50/50. 1.4 million buys to 700,000 speaks for itself. I don't like Floyd but I don't condone these fucks, Arum, Roach and Pac, trying to cheat a black man out of his rightful cut. I still say Floyd will try to find a way to get out of this.

PEDs haven't been disputed either. No one has done scientific test to know either way but from what we understand about them... is that PEDs give nigga's an unnatural boost of stamina and help's them heal... If you can't see the potential advantages than we can squash this now, but that is completely different from a fighter having natural advantages.

I have boxed before with smaller boxers and size doesn't always mean an advantage. If a smaller fighter fucks you up with their speed and agility.... I can't complain because of those advantages.

Damn, you went kind of hard on him. Some people just haven't been following boxing very long and have never boxed and most people that have been around the sport long enough can detect a new fan by their comments. There's nothing wrong with that. Actually, it's not all about boxing, it's really about fighting. Even karate guys can identify with a boxer because they know what it's like to fight consistently and have to make weight for a fight. The sports may be different, (MMA, boxing, kickboxing) but the mentality is relatively the same.

Personally, I think that when it comes to fighting, the PED stuff is a bunch of nonsense. Sure, PED use can help a guy get into really great shape, but boxing is not just about being in great shape, it's about knowing how to fight. That's why you had thin guys like Michael Carbajal and Alexis Arguello that could punch way harder than physical specimens like what's his name Bradley or the other guy Clottey.

Sure those numbers speak for themselves but so do the opponents. Is it really fair to compare those numbers when Floyd was facing Shane Mosley to draw 1.4 million while Pac fought Clottey? Not really a fair comparison. A fairer comparison would be whatever Pac drew with Cotto compared to what May drew with Mosley.

 

[Jordan Diddy Buk]

I said fakery because I didn't want to use profanity. I assumed you knew what I was really saying. Still the money issue probably will derail the fight. Mainly because pbf doesn't want the fight. Everyone knows how the game works in boxing. Out price yourself and hope that derails the fight. Has happened many times. It is all good though. Boxing needs this fight. But pbf does care about boxing only money. Yet he left it on the table for a drug test he never asked for before and this time probably for a purse split on the riches purse ever in boxing.

Pac could've fought Shane, that fight with Floyd hadn't even been negotiated, just rumoured, when Pac's team chose Clottey who was coming off a loss to the guy who Pac had just destroyed(Cotto). Clottey really didn't do anything to earn that fight other than give Cotto a good one.

I wasn't going hard at Alaskan, I like dude, we just disagree strongly on this subject, he knows his shit too Zef. I'm just saying that it's not proven that PED's do anything for you in terms of fighting ability. Manny would be a handfull for most fighters whether he's on PED's or not, dude is gifted as well. And exactly the type of fighter who could give Floyd a nightmare. While Floyd is exactly the type of fighter who could embarass Manny. If Floyd was that great and confident, PED's wouldn't matter. I mean Margarito go hard all night thropwing one hundred punches a round, so does PWill but no one accuses them of using EPO or some other stamina building shit. Dude might be sniffing ginseng extract or some natural shit.

you said "factual fakery" and the phase is kind of an oxymoron. So I didn't get it.

Out pricing would be 70/30. 60/40 is reasonable based on ppv buys.

Well, speaking of Ginseng extract, I will just say it never has done anything for me. However, I started taking swedish pollen along with arginine, carnitine, tribulus, and focus factor and now I am shooting incredibly large nuts sometimes on a Peter North level. My girlfriend really loves it even though she always complains if it gets in her eye but I think she is just playing it off. Oh, I also use nettle root.

Zef was just using your statement to take a shot at me, because he isn't capable of proving his points on his own.

We both know that Floyd's persona is partly an act and he knows that at any time he can lose, but again that doesn't equal fear.

What comes to mind is the Jack Johnson era. There wasn't a white boy who could fuck with him and the ref would help his opponent's up before he would count. To me it is like saying who care? Jack Johnson was beating those guys up anyway so what if they had help.

Okay... we are going in reverse. It isn't about what Pac is doing in the ring for me, but the way he acted when he got called out. Merce you even said this yourself.

Of course, but there is no proof, as all of you told me, I'm convinced, dude isn't guilty until they catch him. I also think Pac is a huge ego having primadonna in disguise and that has alot to do with his reaction to the testing and purse splitting. I don't believe that "I'm a humble, barely can speak English champion who only fights for his country and God" bullshit anymore than ya'll do. But Floyd's reaction to Manny's performances at 140-147 are just as telling. Nicca might as well be saying, "you can't be that good, you have to be on something", I mean even I felt that way, so I know Floyd was thinking that shit too. Now Floyd may be number one in the books, but if anyone is saving the rep of boxing, it's Pac. The niccas good for boxing in the same way Floyd is good for boxing at the gates and PPV channels. And PED's or not, the nicca can fight his lil ass off.

And even with the help he still whupped them, that's my point. Floyd is uncertain that he can whup Manny.

The problem is they wouldn't of done the same for Jack, but there was nothing he could do about it so he had to beat them even with the possibility that he would not have the same chance. If they did that shit today...Jack would not go for that shit and that's my point.

I agree with you... I want both of these niggas to stay in it for a few years and box each other because once they are gone the masses will go to sleep again.... meaning there will be another dark age for boxing.

 

[Zeferino]

The exact reason why dude gets no respect.

Respect? Do you think I really worry about being respected on a porn board? I obviously don't take most of this very seriously but the things that you say in a serious context just expose your lack of knowledge. But hey, it's a porn board not a boxing board so who cares. You shouldn't worry about getting respect here, get it in your personal life.

That nicca never even fights niccas in his weight class!!!! Pacman, who he outweighs and has virtually every advantage over, he wants a level playing field with that cat??!?!?!? C'mon sun, that commentary is laughable. You couldn't have been serious.

merce, merce, merce
What about Oscar and Shane? No weight games with them and he even moved up to fight Oscar. No catchweights and all that foolishness with most of his opponents. And he does not outweigh Pacquiao. They weigh roughly the same but Floyd is one inch taller. Ruiz lost to Toney, later the victory was overturned but we always remember watching Ruiz lost to Toney. Mayweather does not want to be Ruiz or Cotto (who may have been cheated twice but we'll never know).


But enough of this, we'll just restate positions we've stated a hundred times.
I don't think Arum wants to make this fight. All sides agreed to not negotiate in the press. That's what killed it last year, all the public chest thumping and egos. So here's Arum jumping out making public pronouncements while Schaefer at Golden Boy official statement is "No comment". Arum hates Floyd, isn't a fan of Schaefer and has one of his own fighters in the wings (Margarito) for another stadium fight. He's trying to sabotage the shit.
What's even more peculiar is this is exactly where they were last year except it was Mayweather who signed off on everything and was waiting for Manny. Fuck Arum and I know I'm not the only person who sees this dude.

 

[Upgrade Dave]

And even with the help he still whupped them, that's my point. Floyd is uncertain that he can whup Manny.

I don't think he is. Floyd doesn't have tv confidence, that nigga is absolutely convinced of his own ability, no matter who the opponent is.

Fuck 50/50. He agreed with it last time but since then he's had another 1 million+ buy fight while Manny has not. Manny fucked himself picking Clottey.

 

[Jordan Diddy Buk]

Some logic on this board just cracks me up. Manny should not get 50/50 split even though they agreed on that point last time. Because pbf had bigger numbers due to him fighting a well known hall of fame fighter and manny doesn't because he fought a fighter most people never heard of before. Damn. That is why I don't even bother.

Pbf wants the fight he knows the number manny wants. And it is fair the two biggest name split the purse. Any other notion on the contrary is silly.

Manny had a chance to fight the same guy Floyd fought and decided not to. He chose his opponent and he should accept whatever repercussions follow. When they negotiated last year, there was an argument that could be made that Manny was nearly Floyd's equal as a ppv draw, that's no longer the case. Floyd drew over a mil for a fight with Marquez, who was a decisive underdog and never drew anywhere near that before. Manny can't pick a cake fight, get good but not Floyd numbers and think he should get a 50/50 split. He still might but if he didn't, he has only himself (and Roach and Arum) to blame.
