Floyd Mayweather Jr. “For The Love Of MONEY Fight Pacquiao”

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

Some fighters fight for the love of the sport, some for the legacy, some for the thrill and most importantly fighters should fight for the fans who pay their bills since the boxing fans are the ones buying tickets and pay per views.

Well Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. is the exception to the rule.  Floyd Mayweather Jr. openly admits his main reason for fighting is for the money and he brags constantly about how much money he has and how perfect his record is, sure Muhammad Ali and James Toney talked trash but they didn’t brag about how much money they had they bragged about how they could whoop your ass!

I mean all fighters want the big checks but not all of them base their life solely on how much money they make in revenue, that’s because real men and real fighters are not insecure they don’t need to boast or brag about what they have or how many pay per views they sold.

Real fighters fight!   Fighters like to test themselves with the toughest challenges possible and putting on the fights that will help their legacy grow while giving the fans the fights they want to see.

Also, when a fighter fights the toughest fights he gains more and more fans and respect.  An example is Oscar De La Hoya he is the biggest boxing draw in the sport.  He also fought everyone.  He fought many legends and top level guys as he climbed up in weight and that helped him gross more money because people liked that he fought everyone and never ducked anyone win or lose.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought the best boxing had to offer at 130 and 135 pounds.

But when the torch of pay per view king was passed onto him after beating Oscar De La Hoya in a boring split decision win, he never carried the torch the same way Oscar De La Hoya did.  Manny Pacquiao on the other hand took Floyd’s pound for pound crown and has shown that he can carry the torch 100 times better than Floyd.

Recently, Mayweather Jr. tossed up a cop out by demanding Manny Pacquiao take Olympic blood tests and he and his family accused Manny Pacquiao of steroids and human growth hormone after Pacquiao demolished Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto.

It shows Mayweather see’s Pacquiao as a viable threat because he can’t believe that man can do such things and he has to be on something because the things Pacquiao’s doing are mind boggling.

Mayweather should fight Manny Pacquiao and put all that drug testing to the side and stick to NSAC rules testing.  In the end the Pacquiao fight gives Mayweather Jr. what he craves the most….MONEY! COLD HARD CASH! and at the same time the fans get the fight they want to see.

    Mayweather is hypocritical. I understand that floyd wanted a fair playing field in the sport of boxing(though he just blew a lightweight and came overweight.lol) and insist for a random blood test. In the State of Nevada, pro-boxing is governed by we called “COMMISSION” and part of that is the NSAC that runs the drug testing. Either you follow the rules or dont fight in NEVADA.Mayweather is playing smart and he knows his exact role in boxing as a fighter but for some reason he chooses to be street idiot. If Mayweathers’ intention is sincere, he should have filed a petition to the COMMISSION asking for a more rigid drug testing to both fighters and Manny could have not do anything but follow. Mayweather is clearly not in the position to dictate the rules and not even any outside agency can duplicate the role of NSAC, thats why its called “COMMISSION”. Whats goin to happen if we allow fighters to dictate the rules? That means that all fighters in the future is going to dictate the rules without filing any petition and that would make the COMMISSION a bunch of impotent/toothless irresponsible overpaid dummies.
    Manny did nothing wrong. He humbly respect and follow the rules of the COMMISSION. Manny gives more exciting fight that is worth every dime we pay. He fights like a warrior in the ring and does not run around. He is phenomenal.

    Mayweather should stop yappin around with media and file a petition. Or find another planet where he can fight and make the rules.

    To level the playing as suggested by the gayweathers, ALLOW FLOYDIE THE PUSSY TO INJECT ALL KINDS OF ROIDS AND PEDS AVAILABLE and exempt him from drug testing. Let’s see what happens then if PED’s can really effect the fighters positively. Either way, I think “The Pacman” will still whoop lil floydies big philthy mouth and make it look like his ass.

    Real fighters and warriors like Pacquiao will fight monster, cyborg, giants, klingons and anybody in steroid or not. But fake fighters who bragged they’re the best bully helpless creatures and will makes all kinds excuses and ploys to duck fighters their own sise like this pussy Mayweather Jr. There is nothing to mediate. Jr will not fight the Pacman. His fear is stronger that his greed for money. Jr rediculous demand and accusations are just ploys to make him appear he wants to fight the Pacman but in reality he is scared to death. I would rather see Pacman fight other warriors than give this pussy Jr a payday he don’t deserved.

    If this fight will not push through Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be the ultimate loser in terms of money, prestige and respect. His demand for random blood testing to prove that Manny Pacquiao is clean, boomerang to him when a lawsuit was filed by Pacquiao in order to protect his reputation and good records. The best move of Floyd Jr. this time is to see to it that the fight will be held as previously agreed upon by signing the contract immediately. The $40 million dollars prize is very much worth the risk of losing his undefeated record. Furthermore, win or loss his prestige and respect earned in his previous fights will remain intact.

    Team Pacquiao should demand a psychiatric test against Floyd.Boxers like Mayweather Jr. who talks and acts weirdly could have an advance case of dementia.

    No need for blood test. HGH and EPO now can be detected by urine test alone.

    THE FIGHT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE GAYFLOYD IS TOO SCARED TO FIGHT MANNY. HE TRIED TO FINISH THE NIGHT IN THE CLUB SO THAT HE’S NOT GOING TO PEE AGAIN ON HIS PANTS EVERYTIME HE THINKS ABOUT FIGHTING MANNY IN THE RING.RIGHT NOW! GAYFLOYD IS TAKING SO MANY ANTI-DEPRESSANT MEDS AND SLEEPING TABS SO THAT HE CAN SLEEP INSTANTLY W/OUT THINKING OF MANNY. ACCORDING TO LAS VEGAS PSYCHIATRIST! FLOYD IS SUFFERING FROM MENTAL DEPRIVATION,INSOMNIA,MANIC DEPPRESSIVE DISORDER AND SO MANY MENTAL HEALTH ILLNESS BECAUSE OF MANNYPHOBIA.

    The only way to save the fight is for manny pedquaio to submit to blood tests! Because pedquaio is using human growth hormones to enhance his performance! He should stop using HGH if not, he should be banned from pro boxing, his name removed from official boxing records and all the money won returned!

    I would suggest to pacquiao world that let floyd “chicken hearted” mayweather take and use all the steroids and performance enhancing and beauty enhancing drugs available and fight pacquiao on March 13, 2010. And Let pacquiao submit to an unlimited urine tests… Let Us see if he can beat pacquiao with all the drugs in his system.. Let the moron realize it..

    ATTENTION MAYWEATHERS:

    “IT IS MORE HUMILIATING FOR YOU FLOYD MAYWEATHER TO LOSE AGAINST PACMAN WITH YOUR TIGHT OLYMPIC BLOOD TESTS CONDITIONS AND AT THE SAME TIME LOSE MISERABLY VIA KNOCK OUT THAN LOSE MISERABLY VIA KNOCK OUT VIA SOFTENING YOUR DEMANDS TO LET THIS FIGHT HAPPEN ONCE AND FOR ALL” IT WILL NOT TAKE A PRUDENT MIND TO DECIPHER THAT A BLOOD TESTS TAKEN 3 TIMES (1ST BEFORE THE PRESCONFERENCE, 2ND 30 DAYS BEFORE THE FIGHT 3RD MINUTES AFTER THE FIGHT AT THE DRESSING ROOM) AND YOUR SPONSORED RANDOM BLOOD TEST WITHIN 30 DAYS BEFORE THE FIGHT WILL PRODUCE EXACTLY THE SAME RESULTS BETCHA BY GOLLY WOW!”

    ATTENTION GBP EXECUTIVES (SCHAEFER, OSCAR ETC)

    YOU ARE LOSING YOUR FANS AND CROWD APPEAL IF YOU CONTINUE THIS SPECIAL TREATMENT WITH MAYWEATHER AND YOU ARE LOSING YOUR FOCUS TO MOSLEY WHO IS INCEDENTALLY A MUCH MORE PROMINENT GPB GUY! YOU SHOULD BE BUSY NOW PROMOTING MOSLEY ON HIS UPCOMING FIGHT WITH BERTO! ONCE MAYWEATHER SEES YOU AS USELESS HE WILL DUMP YOU LIKE GARBAGE!) WHAT IS MORE DREADFUL IS THAT IF MOSLEY, HOPKINS WILL PULL OUT FROM YOUR RANKS. TSK, TSK, TSK!

Sheeeit throw me that 40 million and my ass would jump in there with PAC even with the possibility of me literally dying. Floyd you look like the biggest punk in boxing history. Not a smart move here bud. NOBODY IS BUYING THIS BULLSHIT FLOYD!
