Floyd Mayweather Jr. Won’t Fight Manny Pacquiao Because He Might Get Hurt and You Won’t Financially Support Him
This Saturday night Floyd Mayweather returns to the ring to face not Manny Pacquiao Miguel Cotto. After that, Mayweather heads to jail for 90 days. When he leaves jail, people will again talk about a possible fight with Manny Pacquiao. Why? Because people don’t care about Floyd Mayweather’s well-being and Manny Pacquiao is on steroids. From ESPN:
Mayweather’s hardest point came when he admitted that he believes the boxing world doesn’t even care if Pacquiao is using or not — that the desire to see the two fight now surpasses any concern over his safety.
“People say, ‘We don’t give a f— if he’s taking or not; we just want to see the fight. We don’t give a f— about your health and we don’t give a f— about your family.’ ” Mayweather said.
“I care about my family. I love my family. They’re going to be there when no one else is there. When my career is over, you’re all going to move on to the next one.”
Selfish jerks. That’s what you all are. You’re not good family men like Floyd Mayweather Jr. You just have a disgusting thirst for blood and will do whatever it takes, ruin as many boxers’ lives, so long as you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or boxers you leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long so you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist. More from Money May:
“Health is more important than anything,” Mayweather said. “Because guess what? When my career is over, if I’m hurt because of something that has happened in a fight, I can’t come to you and say, ‘I need (money).’ “
Don King and Bob Arum don’t see out the eyes of a fighter because they’re not a fighter,” Mayweather said. “All they care about is some f—— money. I care about a fighter’s well being because I am a fighter.
“I know how it is to have a broken rib the rest of your life. I know how it is to piss blood. You all don’t know nothing about this.”
Are these injuries not possible against Miguel Cotto? Could he have not suffered a broken rib against Victor Ortiz? Mayweather’s biggest concern is a roided-up 140-pounder is going to do all the damage.I’m guessing there is a study out there that would prove 12 rounds against Manny Pacquaio is a little less dangerous than the accumulation of damage sustained in 16+ years as a professional boxer.
Of course, the choicest quote in all of this is, “I can’t come to you and say, ‘I need (money).” What an asshole. Mayweather would make enough for himself and his entire family to live off of for the next 100 years with just one fight against Pacquaio. We’re supposed to feel sorry for the man who made about $40 million dollars in his last fight alone? Plus the (estimated) $40 million he’s set to make this weekend?
If Mayweather is so concerned about the future of his family, maybe he should walk away from boxing forever after this fight. And when he’s retired and safe in his mansion, where that scary Filipino steroid-user can’t find him maybe he should think twice about placing his next million dollar wager. Guess what Floyd? The sports book employees aren’t going to be there for you either. What a crock of shit.

I’ll never understand the fascination with Christina Hendricks. Tits are tits, but her face? Woof.
But yeah, Money is totally being a bitch about this. Dude is afraid.
May 3rd, 2012 at 4:22 PM
Just wait until Mayweather breaks out Magnum.
+1 for the Zoolander reference CRM
May 3rd, 2012 at 4:23 PM
he does have a good point…except for the fact that he spends money like it’s his job. if you came to me and said you need money, id probably say…well, first off, i won’t have any so it’s moot…but id say…eh fuck it…i dont care any more.

lol.

It can be funny how people who surround themselves with coddlers and Yes Men view the world.
It can also be scary, though.

Remember watching Pacquiao beat up Cotto in a bar in Mexico. Mexican women showed up just before the fight in cocktail dresses. Apparently they got dolled up to go to a bar to watch boxing and eat chicken wings. It was like seeing unicorns.

Mad Men backlash is apparently in full effect this afternoon.

The first thing that comes to mind is “clown”, and I don’t mean everyone’s favorite commenter.
There’s a reason a lot of the finished (ie, airbrushed) pictures of her are in B&W.
May 3rd, 2012 at 4:27 PM
Except for the whole “head injuries are not independent of each other” thing.
May 3rd, 2012 at 4:28 PM
Man if those are white chicks that’s a HUGE red flag.

You do? Please, tell me about this reincarnation.

Yeah, she doesn’t look Hispanic.

For a guy that loves his family, he’s got a nasty habit of collecting domestic abuse complaints.
May 3rd, 2012 at 4:38 PM
tell me about it…

This. Mayweather is on HBO film literally throwing tens of thousands of dollars into the air while his paid lackey runs behind him cleaning up. His fucking nickname is “Money.” Eat a dick.
May 3rd, 2012 at 4:45 PM
Less relevant sport today: boxing or hockey?
May 3rd, 2012 at 4:46 PM
Also, this boxing post doesn’t help my anti-hockey post argument AT ALL.
May 3rd, 2012 at 4:57 PM
They are both scared or Scurrrrr’d.
Manny, after all is the same guy that nixed the closes deal they ever had because he was afraid of needles.
Never thought boxings two biggest guys would also be it’s biggest pussies.
May 3rd, 2012 at 5:03 PM
solid zoolander reference.
May 3rd, 2012 at 5:29 PM

All of this. By the time this fight actually happens (if it ever does) both of these guys will be past their primes and it won’t mean nearly as much as it could have 3 years ago. It’s bullshit that boxing is such a mess because this kind of shit would never happen in the UFC.
May 3rd, 2012 at 5:35 PM
Stars, boxing’s two biggest stars. Unless you consider 5’7″ welterweights to be giants of course.
/just being an asshole
May 3rd, 2012 at 5:43 PM
Hahaha, if the UFC keeps fucking over it’s fighters it most certainly will. Soon enough guys like Jon Jones are going to bump into Mayweather and he is going to teach them who really has the power. And when you reach the level of popularity/notoriety that Mayweather has and that Jon Jones may someday get the power sure as hell isn’t with douche bags like Dana White or criminals like Don King.

I sincerely hope Cotto beats Pretty Boy this weekend. Don’t think it will happen, but will make me so very happy.
Also, this weekend will be a sure test to tell how rigged Boxing is. Because if they were fighting for real, Canelo Alvarez would literally kill Mosley in the ring. But I’m guessing since they’re both pals of De La Hoya and riding the Mayweather money train, that it will go 12 rounds and to a 119-109 unanimous decision.
May 3rd, 2012 at 6:17 PM
Has Mosley ever been knocked out? Hell I think he’s only touched the mat once or twice. Dude can take a major beating. If Mayweather had half of Mosley’s heart we would be talking about Pacman vs Money III as opposed to the potential pacman vs marquez IV. That said Canelo should beat the shit out of him.
May 3rd, 2012 at 6:22 PM
Rooting for Cotto to break Mayweather’s ribs, but I’m (sadly) expecting Mayweather to dance and dodge his way to victory.
May 3rd, 2012 at 6:23 PM
Cotto just takes way too much punishment. Cotto will push the pace and will constantly move forward which will hopefully keep it entertaining but if I were in Vegas I would be betting big on a Mayweather unanimous decision. Should be a typical Mayweather boxing clinic with Cotto’s aggressiveness making it a little more enjoyable than some other Pretty Boy fights.

your loss…but speaking of weird woof face..her husband is the guy from Super Troopers who ate all the shrooms and weed in the back of the car…the bug-eyed dude

don’t worry she’s biding her time and holding out for someone else with more “insert whatever you like here” Count on it.
