Floyd Mayweather doesn't want to fight Manny Pacquiao. Can't blame him. Pacquiao is the best fighter in the world and Floyd has been on the senior circuit, fighting boxers long past their prime. I wrote before Mayweather's fight with Shane Mosley that Shane had nothing left. Some of you disagreed. Then you saw the fight.
As popular as the Ultimate Fighting Championship has become, it can't generate a fight as big as Pacquiao-Mayweather. It's a brilliant opportunity for a fading sport. But if Mayweather isn't interested, it's a squandered opportunity.
Dwayne Wade says the media will make too much of a losing streak by the Miami Heat. Good thing LeBron James didn't make too much of his decision to leave Cleveland and sign with the Heat.
I didn't watch much of the British Open. But when I did, I saw more rocks, waves and Scottish scenery than gratuitous shots of Tiger. This is good. Tiger's story is old, and he is compelling only because of who he used to be.
Mayweather doesnt want Pac to knock him out. And its crazy I know but you actually spell Wade's name Dwyane.

Have you lost your freakin mind!!!!
Tiger is not playing the way he use to, but he is still Tiger. I'll remind you of your ridiculous comment, this time next year, when he's winning again and you jump back on the bandwagon.

Tom, you're just another fan who loves to hate Mayweather because no one can beat him. Manny refused to fight the first time because he was unwilling to take simple blood tests to prove he's a clean boxer, and now he wants to give out deadlines?? Why would you ever give a guy like Mayweather a deadline, seems like the best way to assure that he won't respond.
They will fight, and Mayweather will win, Manny will walk into a short right during one of his wild swinging episodes, the end.

Tom has yet again shown he knows nothing about boxing...Mayweather fought a lot of the same boxers Pac man fought when they still had a little left...Pac man fought de la hoya and hatton AFTER mayweather finished them...Pac man has fought all of these guys AFTER Mayweather ended their careers. So how can you act like Mayweather is the one beating past-prime fighters? By the way Shane could have won that fight if he actually had any defense...Poor Tom...another subjective Mayweather hater...how have you not been laid off yet?

hey, i love the idea of chili and floyd, i mean aparently they rllaey know one another and he seems to rllaey be into her. we never hear anything bad about him in the media, or about her, so i think this would be another great power couple and that they look great together. i love floyd, he a great fighter and i order ALL of his fights. I see that hes been spending on her for years now, and that he is all she thinks about male wise.. i think that hed do her as she needs to be treated. so good luck
