Mayweather ducks Pacquiao fight by taking a "break"

[kaspa9t9]

Ultimate coward move. There's a new video of Mayweather recorded on June 2nd where he is visiting a patient in hospital (a fan of his) and says he plans to take a couple of years off from boxing.

This is what Mayweather had to say: “I’m taking a couple of years off away from the sport of boxing. I don’t know what the future holds for Mayweather this time particular time but I’ll probably take a couple of years off. Like I said before, I’m going to take a couple of years off. Our main focus now is the Floyd Mayweather Jr. foundation. It’s about giving back.”

He is not an ATG, he is not a Legend, he is the ultimate coward.

Pacman walks all over him.

wow someone actually got to posting here of a pacquiao related story before me hahaha. I was about to post this too hahahah.


well anyway yeah its sad no let me rephrase that... I think MAYWEATHER is a sad excuse of man. A f**k ducking coward.




If this vid and his statement holds true he'll never ever EVER get the end of it. Not even with his win with shane. It was STILL not convincing not at all.

at least you have brains cause when you try reading up on boxingnews24 those guys there are either high on crack or just plain stupid. They still continually defend mayweather as the savior of boxing and hes just taking his time. LIKE WTF!

Are you really going to take this seriously? If Mayweather and Pacquiao's camp are in negotiations as we speak, then how come he would come out and say "I'm taking at least a year off". Whatever Floyd says doesn't hold water, we can't just jump to conclusions over some youtube video. When Floyd and his camp actually confirm publicly and officially that he is retiring again , then we can all start to talk sh*t.

Dude even CONSIDERING this would be bad. Its like back biting someone in business. Talking about a realtors mole behind his/her back or someshit like that. Hes like taking it lightly and THAT IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO NEGOTIATE.

All I'm saying is I think this isn't serious and is a marketing Ploy. The more people think a fight isn't going to happen, the more the demand for it goes up. Floyd knows this. This is just to get more people talking about it, and it obviously has had that effect. Ray Leonard did the same thing with Marvin Hagler and Tommy Hearns, pretending to retire or acting like the fight wasn't going to happen so that the demand for it would rise even more.

People shouldn't jump to conclusions over one youtube video. Both sides are keeping the negotiations on the low and nobody has said anything or knows anything even the biggest media outlets, if Floyd were seriously retiring you would hear Top Rank and the whole Pacquiao camp already out confirming it was for real. When it is confirmed we can all come on here calling Mayweather a "f**k ducking coward" or whatever title we feel fit, but until then I don't believe it.

Hmmm if i remember correctly isn't THAT what you said about the whole steroids thing. Not everything floyd does and says is a marketing ploy. Psychologically it tells you what a person does no matter what has a deep and rooted meaning into his being. Look what happened the first time they negotiated? Marketing ploy? Hardly.... Besides man look at it. HE f**k SAID IT TO A DYING PERSONS FACE. That kid'll take it to his grave that Floyd Mayweather told him that hell retire to take 2 years off. Seriously. This isn't like wrestling of old where they'd do some storyline bullshit. THIS IS BOXING. Everything and Anything can and WILL affect negotiations and business.

Didn't I solve this in the last floyd hate thread? If you hate him so much, just stop talking about him and stop watching his fights. Don't fall for his games, he only wants your $$$. I believe just about everything floyd says in public these days is a ploy. If he and manny ever fight, he is working his way to a bigger share of the profit.
Besides even IF what he says is true, it will be a bit of a letdown, but he has still done more than 99.999% of people in any sport. Only in boxing are people so dissatisfied; its not like NBA fans expect everyone to be Kobe and anyone else is just a bum. How could someone who has been in 41 pro fights against some future hall of fame fighters be a coward? What has anyone here done that takes more guts than that?
I'm not just speaking as a mayweather fan either, I would support just about any fighter who people are ignorant enough to call a coward.

All I'm saying is I've respected Floyd up till now, but if he ducks out of this fight he ain't getting no respect from Kaspa. I agree with what most of you guys have said about the gag order and all, Arum and Pacman haven't bought into the retirement talk, but who would be surprised if he goes ahead and takes another 'break'?

You guys are right in saying that Mayweather is good at promoting fights, but when it comes to match-making he's just as good and that's why I believe well and truly he doesn't want this fight. His father said that he doesn't like his son fighting soutpaws and right before the second negotiations started Floyd Sr. said "My son will never fight Pacquiao", so is it really hard to believe Mayweather doesn't want the fight?

Yes the money is an important issue, but he could probably make that much in his next 2 fights and sit comfy.

And when I say he's a coward, I'm obviously using that in the context of him being a fighter and a match-maker, not him as a person.


Anyways I'm leaving this topic until something else develops.

Peace.

Same here. I dont hate him. I just dont like how he does "business". As the saying goes dont hate the playa hate the game and thats exactly what im doing cause its disrespectful no matter what that he talks out of his ass whenever he does non-official interviews but goes "oh i respect what hes done and im just trying to clean up the sport" mode whenever he goes on ESPN, Yahoo sports, etc. Its like hes 2-faced. We'll anyway if this really is just a marketing ploy then good but if he DOES take the retirement imma nail BOTH of you right here on this forum and THIS thread and im gonna say I TOLD YOU SO.
