    So most of you are now saying Floyd ducked Manny bc he wanted USADA to do the testing? LMAO. Floyd could have petition the commission to see if they would do the testing and Manny could have taking the test from the start as well instead of backing out and asking for cut offs. They are all at fault and you all know it.

    He still should've went through with the petition anyway. Dangle that fight above their heads and tell them that it can make or break the fight. I bet you the state wouldn't wanna lose out on that kind of profit. The fact that he did not tells me he doesn't really want the fight. If there's a will, there's a way. In this case Floyd doesn't have will, just a way out. Mind you the fight was agreed upon until Floyd came up with this. Apparently a single little petition can make it happen, but he didn't wanna go through with it cause according to you it was set in stone that nevada wouldn't agree.

    It does'nt matter what has or has'nt changed since the Leonard-Hearns ruling Lance........

    ......what matters is that the commision then said no to Steward and cited that it was'nt in their rules or protocol to have any fighter take a Steroid test.
    The ruling was that they could not specifically target one fighter or a set of fighters to do something that was'nt mandatory in their rules and regulations.

    There's not a damn reason to believe the NSAC would rule any different today.

    What else does Arum and Pacquiao want or need when the same commision conceded publicly they could not and would not stop an agreement for extra testing entered upon by any two fighters as long as their own testing demands the way they are set currently were met.

    The NSAC was essentially stating by those comments to go ahead and test away guys, we're not going to stop you.
    But of course thats not what Arum wanted.
    What Arum wanted was for Mayweather to petition the NSAC and have them say, "we cant force anyone to take additional testing not on our current rules and regulations.
    To which Arum would have had all the ammunition he needed to state, "we've petitioned the NSAC, and they dont want anything to do with it. All we can do is follow their lead and protocol an go by their rules. If Mayweather does'nt want to abide by the rules because he's afraid of Manny Pacquiao."

    You can imagine Lance, the sky's the limit on the bullcrap Arum would spew had the commision officially stated, "we wont go outside of our current protocol for one specific fight."

    Floyd said he wanted to clean up boxing, so why did he say 'no'?

    Duck.

    The arguments from Floyd fans are ridiculous sometimes.

    **** from thirty years ago is irrelevant. The state is hurting. Las Vegas is losing it's luster and not making as much compared to a decade ago. The star would benefit greatly from this fight.


    But Floyd knows the state won't agree because they said no ****in 30 yrs ago

    Floyd had a much better chance at trying to get Pac to agree to the test than NSAC to force Pac to take it

    :rofl that's on long and overly elaborate excuse. Just because extra testing was done over 25 yrs ago doesn't mean the NSAC would have the same answer in the 21st century....and the kind of testing Steward requested wasn't anything like what Floyd came up with so there would be no reason NOT to have the NSAC to handle the testing and using USADA as "advisors". Floyd would lose control if he let the NSAC handle the tests which means Floyd wouldn't have an out.

    Leonard did'nt ask for anything. Emmanuel Steward petitioned the NSAC on behalf of Tommy Hearns.
