Floyd Mayweather: 'I will fight Manny Pacquiao'
January 23rd, 2011 7:57 pm ET.Do you like this story?
Boxing - Undefeated boxer Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Jr (41-0) stated that he would fight rival Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao (52-3-2) of the Philippines in an online video apparently created over the weekend. The blockbuster bout, if and when it occurs, is expected to be the most lucrative event in the history of the sport.



Speaking to his fans over UStream, Mayweather - in an irritated and agitated tone - addressed his followers:

"I want to talk to my fans. Okay, I got y'all . . . . I'm never gonna let my fans down. Not me. That's the reason why I'm 41 - 0."

The boxer spoke of a potential showdown with the Filipino legend:

"Don't worry we're gonna beat Poochie-iao's ass. Stop asking the same question. 'When are you gonna fight Poochie-iao?' I'm gonna fight the Pacman. Do me a favor . . . . I'm gonna fight the Pacman when he is off the power pellets."


With the statement, Mayweather seemed to continue to voice his suspicions that Pacquiao's historic winning streak against much larger opponents is aided by performance-enhancement drugs (PEDs).

Mayweather's fight with Oscar de la Hoya in 2007 is the highest-grossing bout to date at 2.4 million pay-per-view (PPV) buys, with over $120 million in generated revenue. With the match-up appealing to sports fans across a broad spectrum, some analysts anticipate Mayweather-Pacquiao to exceed three million PPV buys. [ The Filipino-American population in the U.S. is estimated at over four million. ]

Early in 2010, casinos and online bookies gave Mayweather - considered the best technical boxer in the world - a slight betting edge over Pacquiao at -150. A $100 bet for the Las Vegas-resident would yield $70 in winnings if Mayweather won. Pacquiao - considered the best offensive fighter on the planet - stood at +120, with a $100 wager yielding a hundred dollars if the eight-time champion prevailed.

Some contest that Mayweather, 34, is the best boxer in the world pound-for-pound, a mythical position the boxer occupied in the mid-2000s until his brief retirement in 2008. The Ring, ESPN, Yahoo!, among major sports outlets, currently consider Pacquiao, 32, as the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world, followed by Mayweather at No. 2.

The Filipino icon, currently the WBC super welterweight and WBO welterweight champion, squares off against former welterweight champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley (46-6-1) on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bout will be shown on Showtime / CBS with a potential reach of 115 million households in the U.S.

I read all that crap before. All it amounts to is a bunch of BS drama.

Basically is what you have is Miguel Díaz trainer of Marcos Maidana and Alex Ariza the strength coach for Amir Khan and is also the strength coach for Manny Paquiao, got into an argument right after the Maidana - Khan fight. Diaz ended up calling Ariza a fraud. Ariza took it to mean, that he was calling him a fraud because Ariza must be cheating in order for his fighters to be winning. Diaz came back and said that he never said that Ariza was cheating nor does he even thing that Ariza was cheating. Diaz went on to say that he thinks that Ariza is a fraud if he thinks that he has anything to do with Manny being where he is today. Diaz said that Manny would be where he is today weather or not Ariza was in Manny's corner. So the claim that Ariza had anything to do with Manny being great makes him a fraud. All this amounts to is after fight drama.

Maywheather's claim that Manny is taking PED's is baseless. The only thing he uses as a shred of evidence to to his claim is where Manny came from and where he is today. He is saying that anyway that Manny could climb up through that many weight classes is if he was using PED's. The big hole in that theory is that Floyd did the same thing so therefore, if Manny had to be taking PED's to do that then Mayweather had to be taking PED's also.

Floyd is just making excised on why not to fight. All he has to do is agree to the fight and when the drug testing comes out, we will know who is telling the truth and how isn't. It is that simple.

Floyd is not realy loved by many peeps. Who refused the blood tests was Manny,why, only he knows. Mosley had it drawn and the fight took place. Now Floyd wants a hair from anywhere it doesn't have to be from the head. I feel this is good for boxing, that and the catch weight used by Roach and Arum has to stop. Draining a boxer to then beat the hell out of him is not good for the sport, someone could die from such of bad practice. Manny fighting in his best shape while the other fighter is drained and then hydrated with fluids, is cheating in my book. I've been around boxing for quite a while... JMO

Manny should just take the test and both will make the biggest payday in boxing history.And probably one of the best bouts in years.I agree Fibroso that the catch weight thing is a joke..Many better boxers beat by catch wieght limitations..Who do you blame??

Right on the money bro----catch weights are for paydays designed to line the pockets of promoters, period. It`s a dangerous practice---but to who, obvious answer...the fighters and we all can agree on just how much the promoters care about the fighters after the tickets are sold. Fighters are lured into a payday or a promise of a bigger payday in the future by promoters if they fight "catch". If they are weak and lose or look bad so there`s no draw on their next fight---the promise is soon forgotten.
