    "Manny knows styles, so does Floyd. That's why Manny thinks Mayweather is not a difficult fight and Floyd knows Manny is a difficult fight. Not saying Mayweather thinks he can't beat Manny. But it's a very difficult fight. It's the one style that Mayweather, with his style, cannot, or shouldn't face. That's the only reason. Everything else is bull----. The first time around, we got involved in this insane discussion about blood testing. That was an ego thing. As soon as we realized that was an ego thing and who gives a sh--, then we agreed to unlimited testing. That was a year and a half ago and this guy is still prattling 'take the test.'"

    Interesting comments.

    Arum is a lying racist ****. He's robbing Manny blind, everyone knows it, yet the media still buys into his bull****.

    This fight will not be made with Arum in the picture.

    Mayweather does prattle an unfortunate lot. He'll even talk complete nonsense and answer questions with answers on a completely different subject - in character. It's downright bizarre. Arum is a sniveling **** but Mayweather is a pure phony. They're both impossible to take seriously.

    Then why don't Floyd take the fight. Why don't he want to fight even now. Manny already say he was willing to take the test. Do Floyd want a initial test first or what? Better yet, if Floyd is as good as you fanboys claim, he should be able to beat Manny no matter if he's juiced or not.

    If you know anything about the politics of boxing, you know Arum has a grudge against Floyd and does not want to see him make money off of Pac and doesnt want Pac to lose to him.

    Arum wont put Pac in with anyone who hasnt taken a one sided loss in recent times. He will not risk him against anyone (especially if they are not signed to Top Rank).

    Manny flat out said no to the testing the 1st time around, and then we get 6 different explanantions/conditions on whether or not they agree to the full random testing.

    Team Mayweather has stated time and again that Manny must agree to the testing. Now Manny comes out and says he agrees, but the purse might be an issue.

    Koncz STILL says they havent agreed to anything past 14 days. They are hiding something, plain and simple. Notice how Tim Smith reported on Team Pac asking if they could keep any positive steroids test quiet, yet Tim Smith is NOT named in the defamation suit.

    I wonder why?:think

    Mayweather simply rattles of **** he practiced before hand or that he simply wants to get off his mind. It doesn't matter what's asked, he just answers with what's on his mind;

    Interviewer: Floyd, is that a new watch?

    Mayweather: The thing is this, what these fighters make in their whole careers, I make in one fight. They keep hatin, but like I said before, 42 have tried and 42 have failed. All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather. If you're the best, take the test.

    Interviewer: But what about the watch Floyd?

    Mayweather: I already answered your question.

    So we've got Pacquiao and Arum saying they will take the tests in the media, and now provoking Floyd claiming Pac believes he will be easy work.

    Floyd on the other hand all he can do is "prattle" on with his usual nonsense degrading Pacquiao's career, and the usual "take the tests", cry about how they only want to fight him now that he's 34, and that he doesn't need Pac... basically acting like he don't want the fight.

    He's losing the PR war badly. He better up his game

    Team Pac hasnt and wont agree to the testing. They say that to the media, but they tell Team Floyd that they want all these conditions. It's shocking to me that people wont see through Arum's BS.

    Now all of a sudden Pac is adamant about training in the Phillipines, yet Roach is on record saying that he prefers Pac to train in California. He even argued with Pac about it on 24/7. :deal

    and yet you are in full agreement to all that comes out from floyds camp. there's bs on both sides. floyd says a lot of stupid things. you seem to be annoyed by stupid and phony things, yet why be so selective on who to take a hit at?

    Then Floyd should put em on blast and say if they're ready to test (because they're saying they are) then lets get negotiations started then.

    Floyd is a "boxing politician" himself, and yes he does say contradictory things. But the Team Floyd story on the testing has been consistent, whereas Arum has come up with all sorts of wild **** that doesnt even make any sense to anyone that doesnt blindly hate Mayweather.

    Manny keeps fighting Floyd's former opponents, and Arum says "it's Mayweather's fault, he wont fight us". People start talking about Manny possibly juicing, Arum says "It's Floyd's fault, he defamed Manny". The Mosley-Pac PPV numbers are lower than Floyd's fight with Mosley and Arum says "Oh, well Floyd already beat him, that's why". Pac has potential fights with Bradley, Jones, and Rios all lined up for the next 1.5 years and why? "It's Floyd's fault".

    I mean sheesh, for someone who he claims doesnt need Floyd, it seems that Pac's every move is because of something Floyd did or caused.

    Seriously, is it even possible that all of this is caused by Floyd??
