Bob Arum: Floyd Mayweather Jr. avoiding fight with Manny Pacquiao

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has never lost a fight. The 37-year-old is 47-0 and considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world and His biggest competition would be Manny Pacquiao, which is why people are so eager to see the two fight and according to promoter Bob Arum, however, the above reasons are precisely why Mayweather is avoiding a bout with Pacquiao.

"The real problem is that Mayweather is so damn smart when it comes to boxing and he realizes that of all the fighters fought and all the fighters out there that Manny poses the biggest threat. Why? Because Manny is fast, Manny can punch and Manny is left handed. Floyd never wants to fight a left handed fighter because his style is designed to fight orthodox fighters," Arum told World Boxing News last week.

"So to get Mayweather in the ring with Pacquiao is a monumental task. Not because of splits, not because of money, because Manny stands the best chance of anybody that Floyd has faced to beat him."


There has been so much talk between the two fighters in recent months about stepping into the ring together -- mostly jabs on social media, really -- though no real movement has been made towards setting a date. Perhaps we now know why. :(

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Responds To Manny Pacquiao

          Floyd Mayweather makes fun of Manny Pacquiao on Instagram.


FLOYD Mayweather has finally answered Manny Pacquiao’s calls for a long-anticipated fight. Well, sort of. After repeatedly being called out by the Filipino hero and his camp in the days after Pacquiao's one-sided win over Chris Algieri in Macau, Mayweather turned to Instagram to post his first comments about the fight which boxing fans have long wanted to see.

Mayweather’s official Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts posted on Wednesday night a 15-second video of Manny Pacquiao’s Round Six knockout at the hands of Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez in their fourth match in 2012. Set to Queen’s hit song 'Another One Bites the Dust,' the video repeatedly played the line “Another one bites the dust” before ending with a cryptic, “Hey I’m gonna get you, too.”

'There are no excuses': Pacquiao camp calls out Mayweather

Pacquiao and Top Rank promoter Bob Arum called out Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the strongest terms possible to step to the plate and make the fight the boxing world has been waiting to see.

 Pacquiao has been reticent on the subject in the past, but after knocking down Chris Algieri six times in a lopsided decision early Sunday in Macau, the WBO welterweight champion said he and Mayweather need to reach a deal. "I think it's time to say something," Pacquiao said.

 "The people deserve that fight. The fans deserve the fight. I think it's time to make that fight happen." "But right now, I think the fans are involved with this issue of a fight with him. So I think the fight has to happen because the fans deserve it.

"Questioned as to why he has changed his strategy and decided to become more vocal on the subject of Mayweather, Pacquiao said: "I want that fight, but I think I'm just the one talking, talking about that fight, but the other camp is denying, denying, they're always denying to talk about that fight. So it was better to say nothing.

During the week leading up to Pacquiao's fight with Algieri, Arum said talks on the framework of a deal between HBO, which televises Pacquiao's fights, and Showtime, which has a contract with Mayweather, have taken place. There's a long ways to go to reach a split that is palatable to both sides, but it's clear the only one who can give the go-ahead is Mayweather.

 Asked what his next step is, Arum shrugged and said: "Answer the phone. Simple as that. "So I'll be at the phone. Manny will be at his phone. We're ready. You saw the Foot Locker commercial. He showed you how ready he is.""If boxing is to be considered a major port, it has to have it.

All the nonsense has to cease. Everybody should be working together to make that fight happen. There's no excuses anymore. None. At that point, Pacquiao chimed in with his lines from the commercial, saying excitedly, "He's going to fight me! He's going to fight me!" There is no mistaking Arum's exasperation with the whole process.

"Speaking for myself, we're tired," the promoter said. "Every place we go, they ask us, 'When is it going to happen? When is that fight going to be made?' "I say enough is enough. Let's just make the fight happen.

Let's get it done the next fight for each fighter sometime in the first six months of next year. That's our position, and we're going to do what we can to make it happen."

                       Pacquiao dominates Algieri, wins by unanimous decision

Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 knockouts), who retained his WBO welterweight title, showed little respect for the previously unbeaten Algieri (20-1, 8 KOs), barging through the mobile New Yorker’s light jabs to land his own southpaw left cross and right hooks.

 The first knockdown, in the second round, was a combination of a Pacquiao punch and Algieri slipping on the canvas but in the sixth round Algieri tumbled head over heels after a Pacquiao barrage and went down again in the same round from a right hook. A fierce left cross in the ninth sent Algieri to his back.

 He beat the count, but dropped to his knees from a follow-up flurry and seemed on the verge of being stopped as Pacquiao unleashed a fusillade of punches against the ropes. Somehow the American survived that round and despite being knocked down by another left hand in the tenth, made it to the final bell.


Algieri (20-1, 9 KOs), who suffered his first defeat, had earned the shot against Pacquiao by overcoming a swollen right eye and two knockdowns against Russia's Ruslan Provodnikov in his previous outing but he was never remotely in this contest. Although he circled constantly to his left and attempted to keep Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOs) at a distance with his superior reach, he rarely landed any consequential punches.



                   

"It's not just his hand speed," said Algieri afterward of Pacquaio. "He's a great fighter. He does everything well. I was never hurt, but he did catch me with a big shot." Although Pacquiao sometimes struggled to hit Algieri cleanly because of his opponent's backward motion, the punches he did land took their toll.

"I did my best," reflected Pacquaio. "Algieri was fast-moving. I'm not surprised that he kept getting up, because that's what he did against Ruslan Provodnikov." The win raised once more the prospect of a long-anticipated clash with undefeated American Floyd Mayweather, a fight that Pacquiao said he welcomed.

 "I want that fight," he said. "The fans deserve that fight."

Where has the knockout power of Manny Pacquiao gone? Oddsmakers see Pacquiao as heavy favorite against Chris Algieri as Manny Pacquiao is ready to step into the ring against Algieri at The Ventian Macao in Macau on Saturday night, he isn't doing so just to defend a title.

 He's also fighting to stay relevant. Losses to Juan Manuel Marquez and Timothy Bradley in 2013 deflated the expectations for this aging pugilist. He's come on strong with a resounding victory against Brandon Rios in November 2013 and a rematch win over Bradley earlier this year, a bout that got him his WBO welterweight title back.

 Algieri's dizzying ascent through the boxing ranks isn't necessarily unprecedented, but it's probably unexpected for a 30-year-old former kickboxer who made the switch to hands-only fighting in 2008. Six years in, and he's fighting one of the most famous names in boxing, a legendary brawler whose tenacity is matched only by the feverish devotion of his fans.

Pacquiao vs. Bradley 2 live stream online

Timothy Bradley won the WBO Welterweight Champion of the World against the pound for pound king Manny (Pacman) Pacquiao. That epic fight ended Pacquaio’s seven year winning streak and made Bradley the fourth boxer to defeat the legendary fighter.

With the controversy and uproar surrounding the 2012 fight, both fighters are thirsty to prove that they are stronger than the other.

For Bradley, winning this fight will finally get the “respect” that he felt wasn’t given to him after his 2012 victory. With a two-fight win streak against Provodnikov and Marquez with experience to back him up, Bradley boldly claimed that he will outsmart, outwork, and ultimately defeat Pacquiao again.

However, Pacman said that he will no longer be a “nice guy” this time and he will have his revenge against Bradley to take back the Welterweight Belt that he lost. Freddie Roach (Pacquiao’s coach) commented that if Bradley thinks that he already figured Pacquiao out, then he is in for a very big surprise.

The upcoming fight is highly anticipated and is creating a huge buzz for boxing experts, enthusiasts, and netizens.  The rematch is career defining for both boxers. For Pacquiao, this is not only a fight to win back his title, but in many respect, his last stand to define his career and prove that his “fire” is continuously burning.

  Comments on his last fight is that though he won, its lacklustre,  “too safe”, and his trademark ferocity has faded since people are expecting for the big knock out. Bradley even pointed out the he already lost his killer instinct, and Pacquiao is set to prove him wrong. 

For Bradley, though undefeated, winning this rematch will surely put him on the map that will level up his boxing career.  He is bound to show that he can also deliver power punches, hard blows, and a lot of heart in the ring.

Will the Filipino Pride win? Or will Bradley finally deliver the winning punch?

The Pacquiao vs Bradley 2 will surely be an epic fight to remember!
