Manny Pacquiao Remains The PPV King, So What Can Floyd Mayweather Jr Do To Compete?

Mar 26, 2012 - I totally understand that i have no right to put Manny in line w/this Previous Great/Legendary Fighters. You don't need to even elaborate furthermore how this respective fighters differ from Manny. The point i'm raising here was before Pac capture this 8 Div. Weight Title (w/c for you was just gimmick), lots of past great fighters have started what Pac had done. It maybe a matter of fact that Pac just try to emulate them & have just succeeded. TRIUMPH always start on TRYING.

DROC1474 Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - Now going back to your supposed KO's of Pac on the FW Div. It seemed you forgot that during those 2 instances, Pac was having a hard time to cut the weight that left him weight drained. It was all body shot that cause him to fall on the canvass. You r right Pac can't be compare to d LEGENDS U have mentioned, it seems again U fail to consider d humble beginning of Pac. He embrace boxing 2 be his bread & butter, he was deprived of d blessing that American fighters have in d land of Opportunity.

DROC1474 Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - You just raise one excuse of Floyd for not fighting this big named WW in the Div. To ask you, why Floyd left Top Rank? If Floyd was really want to get even w/Arum & to prove he is the best & not afraid to face this TR fighters particularly Margarito who had a video of him personally asking Floyd for a fight, he will find a way or even compromise to fight them. If he was really sincere, he will find a way to make the fight & not price himself out like what he was doing now with Pac.

DROC1474 Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - Its so contrast that he accused Pac of fighting in house fight w/TR fighters but forgot himself that he was also doing the same w/the set up fights w/GBP. Why he did not fight Sergio Martinez who was willing to fight him at 150 since 2010 if he didn't want himself to be critize on his own accusation. To clarify, Pac had fought 3 TR fighters in Cotto, Clottey, Marga, 2 w/GBP in DLH, Hatton, & 2 independent who just get out from GBP in Mosley & JMM.

DROC1474 Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - You can discredit Pac's 8 Weight Div. Title but you can't dismiss that Pac's speed, power & ability to take punches were all Natural. Pac's 7 Lineal Weight Div. Title: FW Chatchai Sasakaul (33-1) KO 8 SBW Lehlonolo Ledwaba (33-1) KO 6 FW Marco Antonio Barrera (57-3) TKO 11 SFW Juan Manuel Marquez 48-3) SD 12 LW David Diaz (34-1) TKO 9 LWW Ricky Hatton (45-1) KO 2 WW Miguel Cotto (34-1) TKO 12

DROC1474 Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - W/this Pac's 7 Lineal Weight Div.Title, 6 out of this 7 Fights were won either by KO or TKO (86% KO percentage). This was just a proof that Pac was consistent on his performance as he moves up in weight & further dismiss that Pac's sudden power & speed in WW. Five of this Weight Div. Championship Fights were Challengers/Champions who had 1 loss in their resume. Five of this Opponents were Pride/Hero Boxer of their respective Country. Now are this still all gimmicks to you?

DROC1474 Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - Boxer's HISTORY does not primarily matter where he came from or how many losses/set backs he had on his earlier career. Its all more on bouncing back, rising to d agony of defeat, facing & defying the toughest challenge even against the odds. His success was not a matter of chance or destiny but a choice & the perseverance he need to endure to achieve it. I'll hope both Pac & Floyd no matter how mile their difference when they started would meet halfway & twogether in closing their CAREERS.

Mar 26, 2012 - Floyd not fighting Top Rank fighters has a lot to do with Bob Arum. Not to mention he still owes Mayweather millions for the Gatti fight. But Floyd left that bad person & company behind. Antonio Margarito ask Floyd to fight him but he wasn't at any level (PPV) to even ask for a match. Margarito even afford 6 million or something like that. Floyd went with a better offer which was to perform in the WWE against the Big Show. Its clearly about Money with Floyd. He is a true PRIZE FIGHTER!

anonymousprofess Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - The fights that Floyd had to make with GBP was after the DLH fight. Oscar is smart & made Floyd not only took a smaller purse. 60/40 in that Mega Fight which broke records & is the highest non heavyweight PPV event in History but Floyd had to sign to a 3 fight contract. Mosley left GBP & signed on to TOP RANK just for the Pac fight. INHOUSE. I am not sure about JMM but I think he most likely signed to TOP RANK for the 3rd Pac fight. Again Inhouse. All Pacs fights are inhouse including Bradley.

anonymousprofess Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - I don't want you to assume that I totally don't like Pacquiao or Mayweather. I am just a person who has been around the sport for a long time and know that what is being done to the sport is a disgrace. Its controlled by Politics which is controlled by money. Boxing is more entertainment and popularity then who is the actually real champ. Pac is a great boxer minus the suspicion of ROIDs but his place as P4P champ is political and based on popularity. I would not give Floyd the #1 P4P aswell.

anonymousprofess Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - Power is the way you KO someone. Its about being able to hit an opponent with a shot that the do not see. Speed & power helps but skills is how you get it done. Does Pacquiao have skills? Of course he does. You can't win titles even if you're on Roids without skills. Just like an argument about Barry Bonds. Bonds can take all the Roids he wants but its his skills which allows him to hit the ball so effectively. The problem is its still cheating no matter how you defend it. Cheating is cheating!

anonymousprofess Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - I agree with you on this but the truth is Pacquiao and Mayweather will most likely never fight. I think Floyd being an Ass tested Bob Arum with that last run at the fight. Floyd is most likely in the same mind set Bob Arum is in. Which is no way no how. The only way Bob would allow that fight to happen is if he feels he's pimped Pac to the max. The only way Floyd will make that fight is if Pac will take 70/30 with no PPV & 40 million guaranteed. Which is unfair & is pimping also. So its a mess!

anonymousprofess Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - Why didn't Floyd fight Sergio? Its real simple the money. If Floyd can make more money fighting Cotto then thats what Floyd is going to fight regardless of public opinion. The same goes for Pac. If Pac can make more moeny fighting Bradley then Sergio then thats what is going to happen. Its very simple. Leave the emotions out of it. Its about Money. Pac had a chance to face Mosley before Floyd but opt to fight Cotto because Pac will make 3Xs more Money. Thats from out the mouth of Freddie Roach!

DROC1474 Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - Margarito was not a PPV level? Sorry to disagree w/you here dude, as a matter of fact its Floyd who just confirmed on his interview w/Brian Kenny that its Tony who was the bigger draw on his fight w/Mosley. This is one of the tactics/excuses that Floyd was using all along, he was even using Arum card in one of this. As again, you say that Tony was not a PPV level, was Baldomir a better PPV level than Margarito?Record shows that Floyd/Baldomir PPV was roughly around 350 to 400 thousand buys.

DROC1474 Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - Now in regards to Pac fighting Cotto over Mosley, he opted to choose Cotto since he already beaten Mosley. Now in regards to the proposed match up between Pac & Martinez, does it really occur to you that this is a total mismatch in favor of Martinez. By just checking on the size & where Manny came from, it will just takes a will power & sheer guts for Pac to conquer this kind of size, I'm not discounting the possibility for that match up but i'm just REALISTIC.

DROC1474 Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - You are DEFINITELY right, this fight was all about MONEY for Mayweather. & this alone is CONTRAST when he opted to choose Cotto over Pacman. Pac/Floyd fight who will be d biggest & richest payday 4 any Boxer in Boxing History will be the biggest payday of Floyd. Its so ridiculous that even at this point, he contradict to what he preach of an EVEN & FAIR playing field. Today's boxing would loose of its interest & essence because of this MONEY driven, self centered demand by Floyd Mayweather.

anonymousprofess Says:

Mar 27, 2012 - Dude you're trying to explain why Floyd did not fight Margarito. Neither Mosley nor Margarito where at Floyds PPV level. Matter fact thats why Pacquiao & Roach did not Fight Mosley even when he kept going to Wild Card gym asking for the fight. Roach said and it is documented on video. That we are going to fight Cotto because Pac can make 3 times the money. Also to argue a ducking point by using a person who should have been permanently banned from the sport is really twisted, dont you think?

anonymousprofess Says:

Mar 27, 2012 - Like I said Mosley went to wild card gym. Cotto had just got of a contraversial win. That many believe like myself he lost that fight with Clottey. Roach said that they will bypass or the word you guys use DUCK Mosley because Cotto was a bigger PPV draw. Pac has not beaten anyone who was bigger then him without a FLAW on them. ODLH was SEVERLY weight drained! Cotto was weight drain also. And Margarito was coming off a devistating KO by Mosley and 1yr suspension!!! The Clottey fight was fixed!

anonymousprofess Says:

Mar 27, 2012 - Floyd wanted to fight Pac but he wanted to Pimp Pac into a deal where Pac wasn't going to get any PPV but just a guaranteed 40 million w/ 20million up front! Matter fact Cotto will end up making more money then Pac vs Bradley fight. Mayweather doesn't need Pac to make huge Paydays. It seems to me that Pac needs Mayweather to make anywhere close to 40 million a fight. Mayweather self centered money driven is no different then Pacs & Roach decision to fight Cotto over Mosley. Its business, PERIOD!

anonymousprofess Says:

Mar 27, 2012 - Also to clarify something if you re-read what you're written you will see you are defending Pac passionately. There is nothing wrong with that but you have to know that there is a bit of biasness when you do that. I am strictly looking at the facts and not speculating on why or why not things happen. I can prove why Pac did not fight Mosley first versus Cotto. HOW?!! From the lips of Freddie Roach. Boxing is about money. Martinez will end up fighting Mayweather next because of the 80/20 split.

DROC1474 Says:

Mar 27, 2012 - Dude, what i presented to you are just valid FACTS & informations. I don't need to present Pac in a bias way but i'm putting it into right & proper perspective. You have your views & i'll have mine & ill enjoy every posts that we exchanged in as much in a friendly & civil way. I'll don't have anything much to say. If Pac & Floyd not happen, the WORLD would go on & so they also. We just wish & hope an exciting COMPETITIVE fights soon . God Bless.

anonymousprofess Says:

Mar 27, 2012 - You said that the reason why Pacquiao fought Cotto before Mosley was because Cotto beat Mosley. Thats not a fact but an opinion. I presented the Fact that Pacquiao chosed Cotto instead of Mosley because of FINANCIAL REASONS. Thats a FACT. A fact is something that can be PROVEN. Not an opinion you BELIEVE is TRUE. God bless you as well.
