Pacquiao plans to sue Mayweather
[/quote]

Is the most pathetic thing I've heard. Trash talking has been a part of the sport, always. Now poor little Manny Wanny's upset. Jog on.

He better sue Cotto and Malignaggi too, as they both think he should take a drug test too.

Is it any coincidence that Mayweather's black and better looking ?

I can't even be bothered to read Roger's posts, let alone bother to respond to them.

But what I will say is all this 'Manny's the good guy and Floyd's the bad guy' stuff is so simple and clearly the way the fight is being marketed. If people want to buy into it, fine. But I don't.

Oh, and the 'what's been in the darkness will come to light', is just something Mayweather says, as he doesn't feel he's been given the credit he should have been given.

Some of us thought Floyd was a cunt before this so-called 'marketing spin' you speak of. Largely because that's what he is and has been throughout his career. I really don't understand what it is that you like about him, unless you just like to fly in the face of popular opinion.

There's a difference between trash talking and implying someone has cheated their way to the top. Manny has taken plenty of drugs tests and never failed one.


That said some of the stuff available these days still isn't tested reliably.
 
Anita likes good looking black guys. Didn't you all know ?

I mean Roger talks trash anyways so what he says mean fcukall. But you know you're royally fcuking backed into a corner on this one when the likes of Rosco, D-Mac, Del and a few others think you're spouting shite too.
 
Mayweather hits back...

Floyd Mayweather has spoken angrily of Manny Pacquiao and his team for blaming him for not accepting their proposed big-money fight.

Pacquiao and promoter Bob Arum were unwilling to compromise on Team Mayweather's request for random blood testing in the run-up to the fight, and talks are now dead in the water.

A mediator was brought earlier this week in a desperate bid to iron out the contract dispute, but despite Mayweather offering a concession, Pacquiao did not accept terms.

"Throughout this whole process I have remained patient, but at this point I am thoroughly disgusted that Pacquiao and his representatives are trying to blame me for the fight not happening when clearly the blame is on them," Mayweather said.

"Before the mediation, my team proposed a 14-day, no blood testing window leading up to the fight. But it was rejected.

"I am still proposing the 14-day window but he is still unwilling to agree to it, even though this is obviously a fair compromise on my part as I wanted the testing to be up until the fight and he wanted a 30-day cut-off.

"The truth is he just doesn't want to take the tests. Manny Pacquiao and his team are denying the people a chance to see the biggest fight ever.

"I know the people will see through their smokescreens and lies. I am ready to fight and sign the contract. Manny needs to stop making his excuses, step up and fight."

Pacquiao issued legal proceedings last week following Mayweather's insistence on stringent drugs-testing, claiming such actions were defamatory.

But while Arum claimed Mayweather was unwilling to take the fight, the undefeated American insisted he was ready for the challenge.

"First and foremost, not only do I want to fight Manny Pacquiao, I want to whip his punk ass."

I'll be honest... it does seem a fair compromise by Mayweather. I believe the original excuse was it takes a day or two for Manny to get back upto speed.
 
yadayadayada.

This WILL happen. On the original date planned. This is simply a great deal of free PR, nothing more, nothing less.
 
Manny Pacquiao has secured Ghanaian Joshua Clottey as his next opponent should his clash with Floyd Mayweather Jnr fall through.

The Filipino favourite and pound-for-pound rival Mayweather have failed to agree on terms for a proposed March 13 Las Vegas super-fight, with broken down negotiations now apparently irretrievable.

The argument stems from Mayweather's insistence on random blood and urine testing ahead of the fight, with WBO welterweight champion Pacquiao launching legal action and all parties now seemingly conceding that the fight will not materialise.

The row continued on Thursday when Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum wrote off the fight without mediator Judge Daniel Weinstein and Mayweather himself having their say.

Stand-in
Arum has been arranging alternative opposition in the meantime, with former welterweight champion Clottey set to step in.

It was initially suggested that new WBA light-middleweight title-holder Yuri Foreman would fill the spot but Clottey, who like Foreman is an Arum Top Rank fighter, now appears to be the favourite.

"Sorry Floyd...you had numerous chances to make the fight of the century happen. We are no longer waiting around for you!" said a statement reportedly on the Top Rank Facebook Fan Page.

"Top Rank is pleased to announce that Manny Pacquiao will defend his World Boxing Organisation welterweight championship title in a bout with Joshua Clottey, Saturday March 13, 2010! It's on!"

No official announcement has been made, however, suggesting the showdown between Pacquiao and Mayweather could still be resurrected

Still sure FFF?
 
With Pacquiao seeming to have agreed to fight Clottey, its being said Mayweather may look to fight Mattew Hatton or Malignaggi. Hope everything can be sorted and the fight re-scheduled for later in the year. Its a fight i deffo wanna see.
 
Pacquiao vs Clottey Not Done, Talks are Ongoing


Moments ago Joshua Clottey reached out to BoxingScene.com to inform us that he doesn't have a signed contract to fight WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao in March, yet. Clottey has been vacationing in his native Ghana and received a phone call from his manager, Vinny Scolpino, telling him to return to the United States as soon as possible.

Negotiations have begun between Team Clottey and his promoter, Top Rank. Clottey was in good spirits and will be back on BoxingScene.com soon when they have an announcement to make.

On Thursday night, Top Rank had a message on their official Facebook page stating that Pacquiao vs. Clottey was set for March 13, but someone may have jumped the gun because the message was quickly deleted before the night was over.






Wonder if Top Rank prematurley announced the fight, to try get Mayweather to drop his demands and sign up for the fight, before the officaly signed up to fight Clottey ?
 
You're an idiot Roger, please don't respond to my posts.

As for the fight, it's major disappointment that it doesn't look like it's happening. I'm disappointed in Floyd, he should have done whatever it took to make it happen.

Mayweather vs Mosley. 1st May.
[/quote]

Good fight. Mayweather will be tested.
 
You've gotta laugh.

Mayweather won't take on Pacquaio because of a fear he might be on HGH, so instead he takes on Mosley who has a history of admitted EPO use and was implicated in the BALCO scandal.
 
Did you see the dates on which the "random" tests took place before the Mosley fight ?

They both had a two week window before the fight to do whatever needed doing. I'm beginning to wonder if any of the top sportsmen these days are actually clean.

Lucas probably is.

Obviously he's not a 'top sportsman' though
 
Representatives for Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather have agreed to terms on a megafight, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told SI.com on Wednesday. The deal still needs to be approved by Mayweather.

Arum did not disclose terms of the deal, which is expected to be a 50-50 split and include some form of drug testing. The fight is scheduled for Nov. 13 at a location to be determined. Las Vegas and Dallas are considered the favorites to land the fight.

Arum told SI.com that Mayweather has until mid-July to make a decision.

"This really depends, as I see it, on whether Mayweather wants to fight [Pacquiao]" Arum said. "By mid-July, he's either in or out. We're not going to wait forever. We're going to have a fight on Nov. 13 and we would love it to be Mayweather."

Arum said that if Mayweather passed on the fight, they could still make a deal under the negotiated terms next year.

"Nobody is under any obligation to fight this year," Arum said. "He may need more time. When he is ready, we are prepared to do the fight."

Possible alternative opponents for Pacquiao are Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito.
 
Haha, oh dear:

"I'm on vacation for about a year, about a year," Mayweather said. "As soon as we come off vacation, we're going to cook that little yellow chump. We ain't worried about that. So they ain't gotta worry about me fighting the midget. Once I kick the midget ass, I don't want you all to jump on my d---. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. ... Once I stomp the midget, I'll make that mother f----- make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice."
 
That's got to mean the fight will happen, hasn't it? Would Mayweather risk that challenge being echoed back at him for ever and a day if he doesn't take the fight in the end? Looks suspiciously like the start of the lead-up and of Mayweather mind games.
