154? Come on Floyd are you scared?

Floyd Mayweather Jr according to reports is insistent on fighting Pacquiao at 154lbs.  Are you kidding me? Come on Floyd, are you scared?  From all the talk I have been hearing out of your camp is that you are going to, "whoop him silly."  If that's the case, why not "whoop" him at 147lbs?  At 154lbs you are making Manny have to eat at McDonald's for 8 weeks and get on the bench press.  And what's with the pillow gloves that you're wanting to use Mr Mayweather? 

It's beginning to look like the cards are stacking up against Manny as it pertains to the elements of this fight.  Pacquiao is recovering from a broken ear drum, and an injured hand that he sustained during the Cotto fight.  Arum is pressing for a March fight so that it won't interfere with the elections in the Philippines.  According to Freddie Roach, and many in the camp, March is too soon. 

Mayweather wants to use 10 ounce gloves, pillows.  Pacquiao wants to use 8 ounce gloves, so there are a growing amount of obstacles that were bound to happen.  Everyone was reporting that this fight was a done deal, and this and that, but nothing can be further from the truth.  These issues will have to be worked out, and as of right now I don't see it happening over night.

It's curious to this writer why Pacquiao is the one that has to make all of these concessions. Where are the concessions on Mayweather's part? He's going to make over 20 million dollars for this fight, so when does he bend some?  Does this prove what all of Manny's fans have been screaming about?  Is Floyd Mayweather Jr scared to fight Manny Pacquiao?

Mr Mayweather, if you want your pound for pound title back, you're going to have to fight for it.  And the only way that is going to happen is if you get realistic about things and just fight.

    A letter to Pacman:

    Dear Pac,
    Dont be fooled by Money (its evil)and try your best to stir away from it. Now, I dont mean stir away from the fight since he is only human but stir away from the draw of the money itself. be smart, you are after all 7th world title holder and "must" be able to pull your own calls againts the devil. If the devil wants to fight at 154 lbs, say 147; if the devil wants you to use 10 oz gloves to save a pretty face, say NO cause i want to bust you open. If the Devil waves $$$$$$$ to your face so you can fight so early on after your fight with Cotto, Say no...you can make other Money or you have enough. It's all a ploy so you are in his best interest. Be firm, this Devil needs you more than you need him... The devil has something to prove and something you have he doesnt. Be firm and play the Devils game back to him before and make sure you are ahead and then finally fight him.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr wants another one-sided match in his favor.

    He performs boringly for us fans. Now he wants to bore us more with a one-sided match.

    The most scared skillful boxer is Floyd Mayweather Jr. - all time.

    It's Floyd tactic to ask for 154 lbs. so Manny countered with 147 lbs which is what Floyd really wants. Floyd avoided the catchweights and paying $1M per pound in excess above 145 lbs. Floyd knew that Pacquiao still has to worry about his broker ear drum, broken right fist and politics plus finishing his Wapakman movie in a few weeks. Everything is on Floyd's advantage by March 13th 2010. Therefore, he should win. Although, I still believe Pacquiao deserve 60% purse split as Floyd has nothing to offer on the table as of today.

    maychicken is bluffing i think..he's just testing pacman if he wants to fight on march 13,if pacman say no..he'll pucblicly say"pacman is afraid of me" in truth he's the one who is afraid.deep inside of gayweather's heart he's not gonna fight pacman rightly,why if he thinks his opponent(pacman) has a big chance of defeating him..he won't risk his "0" pathetic record.in short.he's chickening out.

    I think that the ugly part of deal making. Offers and counter-offers. But Floyd should be realistic in his offer. Floyd, don't buy some more time. Be a man. You're just showing how clever you are and everybody knows that. You know exactly how the fight should be done. Everything should be fair. This is boxing and Floyd wants to dance inside the ring. Floyd is obviously afraid of Manny smashing his face like those pumpkins on Jimmy Kimmel`s show that`s why he is requesting a 10 oz gloves. You should be ashamed of yourself, Floyd. I just hope Floyd will not request a 30by30 ring so he can dance and play baseball at the same time. Pretty Boy Floyd no more after this fight.

    Everybody knows Floyd is frightened of Pacman big time... Floyd will have to employ his old tactics to get the advantage over Pacman in all areas to ensure his supposed victory but I tell you this Floyd Gayweather, whatever you do, if Pacman agrees to take your ridiculous demands, you will get the ass whoopin of a lifetime.. and I really think Floyd will come out of the ring Comatose after the fight.. the way Floyd is antagonizing Pacman, Floyd will wish he never should have taken boxing as his profession..

    The agreement is for Pacquiao to use 20 oz gloves and will not be allowed to make 4 - 5 punch combo while Floyd will use an 8 oz glove. In addition, the left hand of Manny will be chained and only his right arm will be allowed to punch. To ensure a Floyd win, Floyd Sr. wants to double the ring size for Floyd to have more room to run. On purse split Floyd agreed on a 90 - 10 with the loser getting only 10%. Go.... go.... go Floyd nobody can really beat you..... you are the greates of all time.

    Gayweather's old bag o trick....nobody doubts his defensive genius...that's a given....but he will be fighting an OFFENSIVE GENIUS...You can only run or defend so much...2 or 3 punches through and he's gonna see stars and will be confused where the Pac is. And when Gayweather is cornered and trap..KA-BOOM!! Pac will unleash bombs he has not seen or felt in his entire life EVER!! Try defending 15 bombs at the same time...good luck! unless he's got 5 hands to cover himself...

    Pac will beat the sh!t out of Floyd...and get another breakthrough record of putting a "1" and only "1" in Gayweathers record.

    Yes, he is scared. Still trying to think of new absurd demands as to not make the fight happen.

    Let me try to help him:

    1) Ask for a 30X30 ring.
    2) Demand that the Pacman fight with one hand tied behind his back.
    3) Demand that the Pacman not pray before a fight.
    4) Ask that Freddie Roach be barred from entering the arena during the fight.

    He guys what is wrong with dancing around the ring? I have a pretty face that I like to preserve... I can not take the chances of Pacman reconfiguring my face like what he did with Dela Hoya, Hatton and Cotto. I am smart...Cotto should have danced away earlier... that dumb Puerto Rican should have watch me box and learn something. I need to slow down Pacman.... at 154 is good for me...He will need to eat 8 times a day... to get to that 154 and then, he will be too slow to fight and catch me run... See? am Smart

    PAC SONG TO FLOYD
    They asked you if you’ll fight me
    And you choked on your reply
    I’d rather Arum deal with you
    Than mislead you with a lie
    And who am I to judge you,
    On what you say or do
    The fans are now beginning
    To see the real you..
    And someday when we tats
    My LEFT will be too much
    That you have to close your eyes
    Where do you hide?
    I wanna pound you til you’re white
    ‘Til your face breaks down and cry
    I wanna beat you
    ‘Til you dream and say, goodnight.
    You think you are a strategist
    That you can insult my pride
    But through your insecurities
    You’re ZERO loss seemed right
    You’re just another fighter
    So far from what is true
    An overrated boxer
    Who never gives his due

    And someday when we tats
    My RIGHT will be too much
    That you have to close your eyes
    Where do you hide?
    I wanna pound you til you’re white
    ‘Til your face breaks down and cry
    I wanna beat you
    ‘Til you dream and say, goodnight.

    At times I’d like to break you
    And drive you to your knees

    Floyd Mayweather was shock ,Pacman accepting the March 13 day of the fight even us were shock considering the 12 rounds he had with Cotto and the broken ear drum ,and the most is the hand injury this hand injury is what frighten us during early training days what more in the early scheduled date of the fight.
