The Mayweather vs Pacquiao Debate

by D4thincarnation Wed 16 Feb 2011, 7:04 pm

First topic message reminder :

It is an issue that polarises the sport, and get the most headlines. It is because the are opposites in the the ring and out.

Inside the ring Mayweather is a defensive fighter, safety first, whilst Manny is an attacking fighting that brings the excitement. Outside the ring Manny is well liked, humble happy and at peace, whilst Mayweather seems angry brash, arrogant, mentally troubled and problems with the law.

It is no surprise since they seem to be polar opposites that they split opinion.

In this thread I would like to discuss how there careers match up and who would win should they eventually face each other in the ring.

Good god lads. D4 is not here and you guys still talk about him.

Floyd is just overflowing with jealously of the praise Pacquiao has been getting and went public again with it in his latest interview.

“Ask not what your country can do for you rather ask what your country can do for Floyd Mayweather Jr.”–PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY, Inauguration, 1961.

“We have nothing to fear but fear of Manny Pacquiao itself.”–PRESIDENT FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT, 1941.

“Like I said,” Mayweather said, rambling on, “a guy from another country can come into our country and get praised…it’s crazy.”

Interesting to get Truss's views on this.

It seems the American public and media have turn there backs on Floyd and Pacquiao is lapping up all the praise and plaudits. Floyd doesn't seem to like it and believes his fellow Americans should show some solidarity with him and whether he is right or wrong they should support him if he American.

Ironically though if Floyd wants to be supported by the public he should move to Britain, because thats where he seems to garner most of his support.

Anybody know why that is the case?

Seem like Floyd respects his fans. Doh

Who gives 2 hoots?

Arum doesn't respect the fans either, but we don't bang on about it 24/7

Arum is not a boxer, he leeches his money of his fighters. Boxers need fans to earn money, Floyd just being ungrateful again.

yep, Floyd playing up to his role as the pantomine villan. That gets more bums on seats and more money for him. Good move. People will pay to see him lose and he will leave them disappointed again.

Was getting charge with 8 offences including assault, grand larceny and domestic violence playing up his role as the pantomine villan too.

It does seem weired though that Mayweather is more popular in Britain than he is anyone else in the world, anybody has a reason for it?

I no longer have any real interest in this match up. Idiot fanboys have ruined it for me, as have Roach and Arum in their ham-fisted attempts to sell Manny as an eight-weight world champion. If his fans were more reasonable and not such insufferable sycophants then perhaps Pacquiao wouldn't receive such criticism. Oh well. I don't doubt that the truth will out one day.

Whilst all debate is welcome, please refrain from insinuating that another user is racist, xenophobic or anything else that can be classed as highly insulting.

You sound like Floyd

“He’s just a media creation,” Mayweather snapped. “

It just eats Floyd up that Manny has surpassed him in the ring and out of it too and much more like that Mayweather own fellow citizen.

Wow. You're truly obsessed. Did a highly successful black guy named Floyd molest you as a child or something?

Just for the record, the quip was about coxy, not Mayweather, and was referring to his right wing tendencies, which he is proud of.

Is Pac a role model for fathering a love child?

No, more for his boxing ability, the way he conducts himself and his charity work and his role as a congress man.

imperialghosty wrote:Who cares what they are like outside of the ring, I sure as hell don't

It has a minor role, but the main topic I wanted to focus on was that Floyd is annoyed by Pacquiao status in America and is trying to everything he can to win the PR wars, which he is losing.

Also Mayweather seems to get most support from British fans, why is this.

Look at the crowd he drew when he came to Britain.

I was actually taking the mickey out of you for making a sweeping accusation that because i read the Daily Mail you assume me to be a right wing extremist.

I don't give two hoots who's here as long they abide by our way of living/not force the culture they left behind on us, pay their taxes and generally behave like proper human beings should.

You on the other hand appear to have compared FMJ to a terrorist or something.

Go on, do a poll titled "Does anyone care for every single link i post about FMJs most recent interview with quotes"

You're like some diva magazine reporting on how bad Jennifer Anniston looked because she had the wrong color shoes on.

Fact is most normal members of society aren't hung up on what famous people do or say, because it won't effect their lives. Sadly you are on some psycho propoganda job on an internet forum, seriously - we don't care.

I didn't know Pacquiao was allowed to call anyone out. Not without permission.

Gents,

I've addressed the issue.

Furthermore, if you took offence to coxy's post, D4 then you should've flagged it up to a mod, not saved it to use as further fuel to an argument later.

I'd appreciate if this was now the end of the matter, i don't want to come back to more repititve abuse. Nor a poll on 'Who cares what FMJ says?' ;)

Thanks guys,

D4 nobody cares any more, you haven't had a sensible response on this subject for some time now yet you still feel the need to report every single thing Mayweather does. If anyone was that bothered they would find out for themselves, we don't need you to act as some fountain of knowledge on the subject.

by Rowley Tue 29 Mar 2011, 5:03 pm

Got to agree Ghosty can only speak for myself but find it a sad indictment of this whole debate and how some people have chose to use their time on this and previous fourms that the fight between the two is the most attractive match up in recent memory and I have reached a point where I could not give a chuff if they ever fight.

I thought Don King was going to make the fight happen?

And Mayweather was just dragging it out to build up the fight.

Oh, you still think the fight will happen, my appoligies, I hope it will happen unlike you and others but I have said from day one I doubt that it will because of the type of character Floyd is.

No one cares, your like a broken record

by D4thincarnation Tue 29 Mar 2011, 7:08 pm

In a recent interview conducted by Chris Fedor for sportsradiointerviews.com, Mayweather was asked What he'd say to the folks who think he is ducking Manny Pacquiao?

Mayweather responded by stating: "Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. Floyd Mayweather goes out and makes money for Floyd Mayweather. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion."

Mayweather went on to add "When it’s all said and done and my career is over, the fans don’t come pay my bills, the fans don’t put my kids through college, and the fans don’t put my kids through private school, I do. Through my hard work.”

I think Mayweather has made his point clear here and on a rare occasion is being honest.

He doesn't mind being labeled a ducker but he doesn't care he just want the money and doesn't owe the boxing fans anything.

by **oxring** Tue 29 Mar 2011, 7:20 pm

Lads - although I don't feel that any boundaries have been crossed/broken yet - please keep things civil during this post.

For the record - Floyd has ALWAYS stated that the fans don't pay the bills. That's why he is called "money". It isn't as though this is something new especially for Pacquiao

Incidentally - I always thought money was a much worse nickname than pretty boy Floyd. As prettyboy Floyd references a legendary gangster - and has a story behind it.

Oxring says he care about the fight, and I'm sure many other do to. I can understand there frustration with the fight not happening and because it has been dragged out for so long they have grown weary of it and don't want to build up false hope anymore for a fight that will never happen.

It's not frustration with the fight, it's frustration with YOU

You've been proven to be a bare face liar time and time again, plead innocence in the face of compelling prove and still insist on discussing something very few if any do.

Do you ever talk about anything other than Manny, Floyd or Donaire?

You're absolutely right mate. He's a bit of an obsessive loser. I've been watching this thread and chuckling at the desperate attempts he's been making to make someone-anyone give a rat's ass.

Personally, I do think pretty boy was the better nickname though. Anyway, I wonder if there's any Time Team on the box...

Sugar Boy Sweetie wrote:These are a few facts: in January kast year mayweather & pacquiao started negotiating a fight. Pacquiao made a few demands regarding the gloves, weight penalties and a 50/50 split if revenue, to which mayweather agreed. In return mayweather made a demand that he and pacquiao undergo randomised blood and urine tests, which could be taken up to the day before the fight. Pacquiao refused. Pacquiao was then offered a comprimise of a 14 day cut off. Again he refused, and chose to walk away from negotiations and fight mediocre Top Rank stablemate Joshua Clottey. 6 months later in July last year, Team Pacquiao put a public deadline clock on the Top Rank website for mayweather to sign the very same 50/50, 14 day cut off deal that pacquiao himself had previously refused.

1. Can anybody tell me that the above did not happen?

2. How can that sequence of events be construed as mayweather stopping the fight happening?

(ps - assumption that he used a crystal ball or fortune teller to predict mannys reaction to the testing request does not count).

Are we going to be treated to what "really" happened between Floyd and Manny then, and which part of SBS statement was wrong apart from the fact that he said January instead of December?
