    If Floyd really wanted the fight he'd stop flapping his gums and start with the negotiations. The truth is he doesn't want to fight, he just wants you to think he does. Why go through all the elaborate explanations and interview to show the fans what? Certainly nothing about making a fight happen. Just excuses and excuses.

    The guy sounds on the level but the presentation omitted some details here and there (whether purposefully or not will be unknown).

    Somewhere in the beginning it mentions Pac and Roach immediately refusing testing. Actually what happened was someone from their camp accepted testing and when word finally got to Pacquiao he then said no.

    Fast forwarding a bit, the person places too much emphasis on what Pacquiao is "refusing to do" such as the 60/40 or testing just to give the fight to the fans, but it can be said the other way as well. Why have a test that hasn't been done in your last 40 fights? Especially with 50m on the line when you're supposed to be called "money"? It goes both ways.

    Secondly, he didn't mention anything regarding the suddenness of Team Floyd backing out, and saying things like "I'm not desperate" or follow up on the fact that he's not interested in fighting, or that Oscar was quoted to say that the fight is really really close to being made, only to retract his statement, or that Arum was quoted that all issues have been resolved, or that Ross Greenburg would say that there in fact WERE negotiations since May.

    If Floyd didnt want this fight he simply would outprice himself.....especially in the first negotiations.

    Now if this 100 million gurantee shyt is for real.....thats a big time duck move...dont care who you are.

    After running out of excuses why he doesn't want to fight Pacquio he now wants to fight PAC for 100MUSD?! Is he nuts?! Funny thing is that Floyd believers agree with his 100M USD demand:nut:smoke:patsch

    No that's not what I'm saying.

    Let's put it this way.
    Floyd asking to fight at 154 is like asking for 100 million dollars
    Manny asking for 145 is him offering 50 million dollars
    Then 147 pound agreement is lets say Floyd making 60 million dollars in the end.
