No Better Time For Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao Than Now

Saturday night’s knockout of Victor Ortiz took the “evil” Floyd Mayweather to new heights of disdain amongst those who have never, ever liked the 34-year-old undefeated fighter. (Do you think Mayweather took a cheap shot at Ortiz?) Regardless of how you feel, Mayweather is now 42-0 and scored a knockout just as he promised. This takes the prospect of a Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight to another level.

As we all know, Manny Pacquiao is the epitome of a nice guy in the brutal sport of boxing. Meanwhile, Mayweather is the pinnacle of evil with a cocky attitude that makes most pay their hard earned money just to see him lose. What better time to put these two in the ring than now? Just as you thought that the public interest in the mega fight had waned, something like what happened on Saturday night takes place and reinvigorates the fire all over again. Pacquiao’s team has been quoted as saying what Mayweather did when he dropped Ortiz with two power shots after Ortiz hugged him was “unsportsmanlike.” That will surely draw the ire of Mayweather when he decides to speak on the issue.

To make it even more enticing, Mayweather has gone on record saying he will fight Pacquiao as long as he takes the USDA Olympic-style drug tests to ensure that he is not using any banned substances. “If you the best, take the test,” Mayweather has barked time and time again. With Pacquiao facing Juan Manuel Marquez for a third time in November, a victory will set the stage for the biggest fight in recent memory. Both fighters will have had just enough time off to prepare for a possible May fight in Las Vegas (trust and believe that the fight will take place there) and with all the money that there is to make for both fighters ($50 million or more), this is the best fight for both of them.

The “Good vs. Evil” storyline simply adds icing on the cake. Can you imagine the pre-fight hype heading into this one? If you were interested in HBO 24/7 before, this will take that experience up several notches. Both fighters are in their 30s and both are inching closer to retirement. Obviously, neither fighter wants to wait three more years for this fight to happen. There’s no time better than now to begin negotiating to make it happen.

The only question left will be who you are picking to win.

    Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight will never happen…
    Mayweather will always demand something for Pacman to do or undergo before it will happen.
    Mayweather just got a welterweight belt (WBC)
    Mayweather just got his money
    Now, in what world will he still want to fight Pacquiao for?
    he can just bad mouth Pacquiao and he remains a relevant figure in boxing and entertainment as well.
    Pacquiao wants the fight PERIOD…but he wants non of the demands Mayweather wants him to undergo. Pacman knows what he needs to do to have the fight pushed thru but he also knows he is not the one who Mayweather can BUlly.

  • jmdlcruz says:

    Pacquiao Mayweather fight will never happen, cuz, Mayweather only fights those boxers he can buy and plays his game,,,Look at it this way, Mayweather chooses a fighter to fight him, signs that fighter a guaranteed amount. Would you believe that the fighter he chooses will fight to win,, noway JOse,, all he has to do is play the game and get the money.
    NOw is this whats gonna happen with Pacquiao? no its not gonna be, Pacquiao fights to win and cant be bought.
    So you guys still believe this fight gonna happen, youre all wrong.
    Look at Mosley may weather fight,,scripted, Look athis latest fight,, straight from the playbook of WWE,
    This promotion is gonna go the way Don kings was,, nobody wants to buy it next time,,,

  • Donald B Cosip says:

    I agree with Lolo Croc… Gay Floyd will always find time, space and reason, to get away from a “devastating” annihilation from Manny. Good thing, Pacman is deliberate and intelligent enough, not to react to his hype. We will forever debate as to the outcome of this “mega fight”, but Floyd for all his self-proclaimed wisdom has got this all figured out..
    “Manigas na kayong lahat” pero Ayaw ko ehh………….. Ano nyo???
    End of the fairy tale…

  • WTF !!!!!! says:

    I agree 100% with jmdlcruz ,
    Mayweather will never fight Manny period ! Because he can’t buy him ! When this blood testing thing first started people who didn’t believe Floyds reasoning (because we’ve watched him for years) knew if Manny accepted the testing Floyd would make another excuse ! Now he’s saying Manny needs to get his money together because he only makes so much and Floyd makes 100% FROM HIS FIGHTS (which is complete BS) ? Why would he even care about Manny and his money unless he wants to set something up ? Floyd is use to dealing with dirt and Manny isn’t falling to the ground with him – and never will . Floyd will never fight Manny the Pacman period !

  • Joshua says:

    Mayweather will never fight Pacman. He is too much of a businessman, and thinks too highly of himself to risk that record. He left boxing years ago when he fought De La Hoya. Since then he has been taking fights with fighters that he knows have slowed down over the years. If Mayweather would have fought Mosely off the first challenged offered 8 years previous, he would have got his ass kicked. Pacman is just as fast as Mayweather and is not affraid to take a punch, making him more dangerous. The knockout against Ortiz was not a knockout. Anyone could have knock the guy out with his hands down. The whole thing looked staged, again displaying Mayweather’s business skills. Get over it, People! A fight with Mayweather and Manny will never happen. The fight will only happen if Pacman is in a wheelchair.

  • pikon says:

    ARE you going to pick the EVIL?????

  • irie cebu says:

    could anybody send me a link for a 24/7 video showing ortiz & this so-called-greatest-boxer-ever underwent the random testing? please…

  • randy says:

  • lee says:

    gayweather will never fight pacman coz he knew that he can’t hurt manny, but manny will kiss his ass that’s y this will gonna happen! kuha nyo!

  • pacmon says:

    gayweather should shut up his mouth & prove that he is the best! but he is a coward & afraid to fight the PACMAN because he knows that his big mouth will surely be busted by the powerfull punches of the PACMAN.He is just hiding his cowardice by demanding many things which are next to impossible! If you are a fighter, prove it in the ring! Dont’t choose fighters who are inexperienced so that you can outwit them by your evil tactics! Fight on COWARD FLOYD!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lakay says:

    BREAKING NEWS – floyd says to reuters he will not fight pacman, where is pacman in 1996,1997,1998,1999,2000,2001 he didn’t call me during my twenties and teens. well at 1996 pacman is fighting at 106 lbs, 1998 pacman win his first world title at flyweight 108 lbs. can mayweather accept pacman’s challenge on these years. it’s an insane alibi not to fight pacman. FLOYD FEARS PACMAN not for reason of any steroids accusations. it is clear fear of loss is the answer of floyd not to fight pacman.

  • rhenna says:

    If Bob Arum is out yes,I believed the super fight between Floyd and Manny will happen. that if Manny will play with floyd’s game. Take the random blood tests up to the last hour before the fight, admit having PED to the public, lose the fight and cash in $50M 100 percent. Take a rematch and lose for an extra $30M. just my two cent!

  • Bartolome says:

    Didn’t Floyd Mayweather say “Yes Pacquiao, you’re next!” during the first few days of the Ortiz-Mayweather press conference? And then during the final press conference before his fight with Ortiz, Floyd the coward that he is denied in front of reporters that he ever said that. So Floyd, the god of assholes never really wanted to fight Pacquiao. He just said “Yes Pacquiao you’re next” just to hype his fight with Ortiz. So Floyd you are the one using Pacquiao’s name, you are the one riding on Pacquiao’s popularity. You are the one afraid to fight Pacquiao. Ok, congratulations you won an easy fight. Now get your act together and fight Pacquiao next! Liar and coward!

  • hys0ka says:

    after the ortiz fight! i am now convince that manny will make floyd walk to fantasy land just like what happened to hatton! I bet roach already saw the BIG HOLE in floyd’s defense which we all saw in the forth round! floyd can’t handle pressure and those right hooks that ortiz is bombing floyd is dropping on floyd’s face over and over again! Imaging the PACMAN dropping those bombs instead of ortiz! floyds’ going to taste the sweetness of the Manila ICE!… So for all you folks out there who thinks floyd is going to win against the PACMAN.. THINK AGAIN! or better YET! WATCH THE 4th ROUND! I bet floyds’ not gonna go beyond 10 rounds with PAC!

  • JACK says:

    the latest demand from Mayweather was that pacquiao has to train only in the USA when conducting USADA blood testing….WTF!!!….so pacquiao now can’t train in his native land?…this is utter BS…..what’s next, barring pacquiao for eating asian food?…this is BS i’m telling you…that testing thing is just a smokescreen….if i was ortiz, i’ll headbutt him all night and never apologize for it….ortiz should have said “Deduct only 1 point? why not make it 3 points deduction!!!” and get into mayweathers head psychologically, make him realize 2 can play that game, its actually working, mayweather was already pissed and bound to make mistakes…ortiz has already made it a street fight, might has well taken it all the way there….

  • Jd says:

    All you guys r mayweather’s heters , the fight vs ortiz evry1was saying that evil was goin to loose it . If pacquiao wants this fight why wont he take that test if he is clean . I know wayweather will woop his ass i m telling you . Look the record only will tell you and stop hating the nigga man

  • irie cebu says:

    jd, pls stay updated.. don’t just ride, stay updated… u’r keep whining on the same old story while manny already agreed the testing demand from mayweather up to the last hour…

    btw, can you send me a link where i can watch USADA was conducting a random blood test to ortiz & your boy? if none, then shut up…. u’r such a pain in the ass…

  • ROCK-STAR HUD says:

    Any one that claims to know boxing and is picking manny over mayweather is totaly crazy, please tell me how in the hell will a out of control wild swinging manny beat the master of boxing, come on guys put your hate aside for one second and look at the facts, there is no way that many wins, i dont even think the fight will go 7 rounds before freddy has to throw in the towel, and i like manny but he has no chance except he get lucky and lands the punch of all punches, just look at how easy mayweather hit ortiz at will, even i didnt see that coming, and he did it not running,i always thought flyod would be to much for manny but after this man i dont see manny winning a round sorry.

  • Thr truth says:

    Floyd gayweather doesn’t want to fight, how are you going to ask a man to take a blood test before the fight or a day before the fight every one knows that when blood is taken out of any human being the body will become weak for days. He finds excuses to push the fight and it leads me to believe that mayweather is waiting for pacman to slow down and then he’ll go for the fight because he’s been jist talking but not doing shit, i mean why didnt he ask ortiz to do the blood test? Because that fight was fixed i mean how is it that the referee looked away right when mayweather sucker punshed ortiz twice, and knowing that pacquio wont be an easy match and hes so scared of loosing his undefeated that he pushes the fight so people can think its pacquio’s fault that they wont fight!

  • Keith Whiteboy says:

    Peeps I’m a neutral boxing fan, all I can say is that Manny would even fight Floyd for free! I dont think Floyd would ever fight Manny simply coz he knows that should he lose to Manny then Manny would go down as an all time great of his era.

    So to all the Floyd supporters I would advise u guys to continue comming up with valid excuse to avoid the fight from happening coz floyd has too much to lose.. Yes we understand

  • boxingfan says:

    If people would put aside their blind hate for mayweather and look at the skill level they will see that this is the worst fight for pacman. hes smaller shorter reach lacks defense and footwork and gets careless waaaaay to often. This isnt the stiffs hes been hand feed the last few years. For mays last 10 or so fights he was supposed to lose according to the general public. Yet everytime he wins the same people make excuses instead of giving props. Same thing will happen if this fight goes down. One thing i am tired of…..hearing both of them speak with no action
