Floyd Mayweather suggests Manny Pacquiao is 'slowly changing' for future 'Money' fight

Why didn't Manny Pacquiao steamroll Juan Manuel Marquez last Saturday night (Nov. 12, 2011) in the "Pacquiao vs. Marquez 3" trilogy at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada?
"Pac-Man," who is considered by many combat sports fans and journalists to be the pound-for-pound king of the "sweet science," fought Marquez to a controversial majority decision win this past weekend in "Sin City."
Some have even argued that he lost.
So what happened? Was Pacquiao having an off night? Or was "Dinamita" having a career performance at the ripe old age of 38?
Fellow boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. tells Fight Hype that Pacquiao is "slowly changing" in preparation for a future fight against "Money:"
"I didn't watch the fight, but from what I'm hearing, Marquez got cheated. Win, lose or draw, whoever I fight still has to be tested with random blood and urine tests ... I mean, the fight could've happened the way it happened because, you know, someone is slowly changing so they can prepare to fight me. They know they're going to have to take the random blood and the random urine tests ... I personally think it's Bob Arum having a vendetta. I think he's very very upset with me because, you know, I exposed and I opened the world's eyes up to different things. I never officially came out and said that I believe Manny Pacquiao is on steroids or that I believe he's on enhancement drugs; I never came out and said that he actually is. I only stated my opinion on what I believe in ... I just had an opinion. I didn't say, 'I know you doing this' or 'I know you doing that.' I said some jokes in the past, had fun, doing it smiling, and we talked about it, but if I was or wasn't joking, it's just my opinion. I'm entitled to my own opinion. People have said things about me, and wrote and criticized me about things in the past, but it goes in one ear and out the other. A lot of times, I don't hear about it because, like I said before, I don't read it if it's negative. If it's positive, then they know to bring it to me."
Mayweather is coming off his own controversial victory, a knockout win over Victor Ortiz in September, and refuses to fight Pacquiao if the Filipino phenom doesn't agree to undergo random blood and urine tests.
In other words, we aren't any closer to "Mayweather vs. Pacquiao" than before. Or are we? Is Manny "slowly changing" to make sure he can fit the "Money" criteria? Or is Floyd off his rocker?
Anyone?

Martinez is willing to fight at 154
against both Manny or Floyd. He fights at 160 now. Hasn’t fought at 154 in a while because he says it’s hard for him to make the weight, but is willing to do it for those two guys

They won’t fight martinez though. I think Floyd should fight martinez. Martinez would eat manny I’m pretty sure even with a bad weight cut. Ok maybe that’s a bold statement but martinez deserves more credit than he gets.

Why would they move all the way to 154 to fight someone who competes at 160?

That shows how much they need to fight. The only opponents they have worth fighting are each other and people outside their weight. Floyd could make 154.

Hes tarnishing his legacy by not fighting manny. If he wants to be in the talks of the allying greats he has to fight manny. Frazier fought Ali three times. Ali fought Frazier forman Liston. Manny is the only true test left for him and I honestly think he would handle manny pretty easy

Yes. Because he knows this guy has the ability to put that big 1 on his record. And Floyd knows that is his cash cow.

I guess you dont know Floyd’s personality. He spends so much money he knows he needs to keep making it to be able to spend it at that pace. If he loses his drawing power and leverage on purses zips right out the window.

Don't be fooled by his on camera spending habits
..It’s all apart of his image…best believe he spends money to make money if that makes sense…he’s coming off a 2 fight contract that paid him in excess of 100 mil…his money is straight…a fight with Pacman would alone be enough for him to step away from the sport, same goes for Pacman

Mayweather does have money problems star.
He owes serious dough to the irs and has multiple lawsuits against him right now. He has like 90 luxury cars and his entourage(especially his father) spends his money as fast as it comes in. The guy is one hell of a boxer and I think his style would beat pacman but he’s an asshole.
Chael Sonnen: Undisputed Middleweight Champion, people’s Champion, pound for pound Champion, marketing genius and mma guru. This man DEFEATED Anderson Silva for four rounds before he allowed the Spider to keep his piece of tin for a few more months and gifted him the win. Everyone knows Anderson Silva can’t fight with a great wrestler like my man Chael Sonnen. Silva is satisfied with beating a Math teachers and one-legged Canadian to pad his record. Why do you think he wants a superfight with Georges "I’m faking a leg injury so that I don’t lose my title to Nick Diaz" St. Pierre? GSP can’t run no more because he’s on one leg and Diaz is coming from the 209 for that UFC belt.Don’t be scared, homie!

He keeps beating up women and having to pay restitution. He and Brett Rogers hang out.
"It’s Mark Pavelich calling from the Maximum Fighting Championship,
I’ve just received notice that Drew Fickett or you, I don’t care which one of you fuckers did it, has signed a contract to fight in Strikeforce this fucking weekend. I’m going to get on a fucking plane soon and go where you’re at and choke you the fuck out. I’m telling you right now, I’ve had enough of your fucking shit. First of all, I’ve sent you the fucking pictures and secondly, I placed Drew Fickett in a fight fucking months ago and five weeks prior to my main event of my fucking fight card. You’re going to give me a fucking call tomorrow or I swear I’ll get on a fucking plane and go right where you’re at right now. You’re pissing me off, I’ve been nothing but professional to you motherfuckers and you’re doing this kind of bullshit, alright? Call me back, I’m fucking pissed."

Its the least amount of risk.. PBF is a great fighter
Im not saying that he isnt.. but he is quick to jump on a fight with certain styles… he has a dominate style and it is obviously hard to beat…. He knows that Manny is his biggest challenge and I feel like that makes him less likely to fight Manny. It is more important to PBF to stay undefeated than it is to fight Manny

A fight with Manny would generate so much revenue...
That I doubt one loss would sway his decision…he’d be making way too much money…I think the fight will happen…I think the reason it hasn’t happened so far is simple…
Mayweather is suspicious of Pacman’s “out of nowehere” rise to the top of the sport….simple as that…it’s not like Pacman is the only guy Mayweather has asked to do the test…for his last couple fights his opponents have done the test…
I think we as fans recognize Pacman as being a legitimate threat to Mayweather…but those who dislike Mayweather use that as a way to reinforce their negative views about him…every narrative needs a bad guy I guess

I agree that hatred brings blindness
But Im not saying that PBF isnt good… as a matter of fact, I think he is great. I dont like the guy outside of the ring, but that doesnt matter. He doesnt need money.. it is his middle name ;)
It is more important for him to go down as undefeated, the money isnt his concern.

mayweather does need the money because he thinks you can never have enough
It is important for him to go down undefeated but hes smart enough to know that if the fight with pac doesnt happen then he will never hear the end of it. He is to proud and cocky to let his record and reputation to be tarnished. Eventually they will fight and he knows it.
Let the hate commence...
Floyd WILL fight Pacman and he WILL beat him.

I understand not agreeing with Floyd..
but I think more can be said of what’s wrong with the people that literally hate him rather than floyd himself… Now, regarding the haters; would you go up to a bear and poke it with a stick and then be surprised if it attacked you? I suppose you would be, because people still seem to be surprised when Floyd gives them the exact kind of answer they are looking for. Everyone who interviews Floyd— the Larry Merchants and the likes, always posture themselves as being morally and intellectually superior to Floyd, if Floyd is such a bad guy, what need is there for self-righteousness? The old saying goes, be a gentleman — not because they are, but because you are. Why does that train of thought suddenly go out the window when talking to floyd? As far as I know, Floyd has never walked up to anyone and called them a coward, prick, asshole, etc… Why is it ok to do that to Floyd? Because he’s not likeable? He’s not a role-model? Get over it, the guy is boxer, and a damn good one at that. Analysts/Radio Show Hosts/Interviewers all pride themselves for apparently winning a war of words with Floyd, but I don’t see any of them stepping up to fight him in the ring. Calling someone a coward? EASY. Going 41-0 as a pro boxer? Well I’ll let the haters figure that one out.

I stopped right there and thought what a massive load of horse shit.
Then I continued reading the rest wondering how dumb the guy was.
Verdict: He’s an absolute idiot. For his own good, someone close to him should be brave enough and break the news to him.
Cesar is a Gracie for crying out loud. They are supposed to be respectful. I see the American whore way of Life has gotten to this Brazilian. What happened to honor and respect! Wait I know… Money happened.
-UHC
well unlike FLoyd i watched the fight on saturday and saw Marquez out boxs The great Manny him for 8 out of the 12! He was robbed. Period
ALSO i would like to add that the manny i saw on saturday night would not stand a chance against FLoyd! He was getting frustrated against Marquez, Floyds biggest strength is mentally fighting, its business when floyd is in the ring! I hope they do fight cause Floyd will whip manny’s ass!
Everyones missed the message of the article
“Floyd Mayweather suggests Manny Pacquiao is ‘slowly changing’ for future ‘Money’ fight”
Hes implying that Mannys stopped using PEDS for the marquez fight because he knows he cant use them for the fight with floyd. Which was the reason he looked so bad against marquez as he doesnt have his encharncements.
no im not missing that point at all just thought i would give my opinion!
As far as PED’s go i guess you couldn’t rule out FLoyd’s Claims! Manny got outclassed saturday im not even sure PED’s would have made that big of a difference. It’s sad to see Jaun not win one, but hey now hopefully we get to see manny – floyd now. Cause honestly i don’t think Manny has much left in his heart! He has to much other shit going on!
I dont think mannys lost his heart,
This was a trilogy and he desperatley wanted show everyone and marquez whos the better fighter because he lost the first 2 fights imo so he would have not taken him lightly and everyone in his training camp stated that this was the hardest hes ever trained for a fight.
The signs are all there, against margo and cotto who are bigger hitters he was just walking through the punches but against marquez whos a lighter puncher it was like he didnt want to get hit. Also I thought he lost some speed and there were moments when marquez looked to match mannys speed that night.
Finally a real sport on this website
UFC and all other MMA is fake, boxing is the real fighting, and it has the most talented people. GO TEAM ARUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"You're a towel" - Towelie
mma is fake? that doesnt even deserve a response but i'm bored
Seeing who could win in an all out fight where almost anything goes is fake?
Your right, paying off judges, fixing fights, and running a crooked company is so much better!
Boxing is a one dementional science, those who box spend all they’re time improving they’re one weapon. MMA there is not enough time to become the best at every aspect of the game. Ask James Toney…
They are 2 seperate great sports, dont compare them just because they both involve fighting. Thats like saying olympic wrestling and professional wrestling is the same thing.
Olympic and Professional wrestling is the same thing!
Man you should go read a book or something.

sounds like someone is just a little cranky that boxing is dying while mma is rising
you say finally a real sport on this website? I know its pretty crazy mma news happening 24/7, while good boxing news happens every once and a while? as for olympic freestyle and professional wrestling… your special, maybe you should go find someone to read you a book…
MMA / WWE died on Saturday with that obviously staged fight
you could tell it was choreographed, you guys all fall for it and think its “as real as it gets”
"You're a towel" - Towelie
or...
If it was choreographed then dana would have made it so cain won because of the different market he brings in. I understand you cant wrap your head around the complexity of mixed martial arts, but its sad when you say mma is staged while saying how good boxing is. has the ufc been caught red handed fixing fights? has boxing? i think you know that answer. Its a good thing pacs fight didnt end in controversy…waiit nvm…mma didnt die on saturday, the ufc had a shitty plan. no matter what even if the fox deal fell through, they will still put on ppvs every month that everyone wants to see. Can you say the same about boxing? you admittedly swing from bob arums nuts, when it comes down to it people dont care about ufc, dana white, strikeforce, elite xc, pride, or bellator, they just want to see the best mixed martial artists fight each other no matter what organization or who runs it. so maybe you should take arums sack outa your mouth and start hoping that mayweather vs pac gets a date set because thats the only fight that matters. Dont criticize a company making moves when boxing isnt making any moves and hasnt in a while.
Got ya

thanks wife beater floyd
you keep hiding under that rock with your roid accusations, the entire world hasnt accused you of the shit you’ve done you actually did it, hope they toss you in the slammer for a long time.
I am willing to test myself against the toughest fighters in the world, in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always come to fight. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years, and I have at least a few more strong years left in me. What have you done in the past fourteen years other than act like a moron on this forum and hang on Anderson's nuts? - Dan Henderson.
if you think you can beat the guy AND he offers the MOST money to be made fighting ANYONE in the world….why wouldn’t you sign the contract?

5.7 million ppl tuned in to the UFC on FOX.
in Brazil, it was on regular access, their version of basic cable. MILLIONS of people there watched it. people my wife knows in Brazil that have NEVER watched UFC or MMA or vale tudo, who don’t even know what brazilian jiu-jitsu is tuned in to watch the fight.
