    Anything else you'd like to have double standards on?

    Even still, I never really liked the whole "moving the goalpost" scenario- I understand him maximizing his position, but then it gave rise to questions regarding whether he wanted the fight. Essentially cat and mouse for 2 years and very frustrating

    It's frustrating, but also pretty suspicious.

    After vehemntly delcaring they were (insert excuse here) as to why they needed cutoffs, all of a sudden they are able to accept another cutoff after posturing for 8 months?

    I dunno.

    he had 0 right period..no matter the case, IN A POST MARK MCGUIRE ERA IN SPORTS NO ATHLETE SHOULD REFUSE ANY DRUG TEST FOR ANY REASON.

    That they both didn't want to be cheated in their biggest fights. hence their stipulations.

    Floyd accepted, Pac wouldn't.

    Oh I can answer that one easy. Arum obviously didn't want the fight and used the blood testing as an out:yep in fact in all 3 instances of "negotiation" there was this discernible "unwillingness" exuding from him

    Arum is definitely to blame. I should have worded it "Team Pac" to include Arum, rather than Pac himself, who I admire.

    Yeah I dont blame Pac personally for anything, the guy isn't his own boss when he should be...

    I might can blame him a little for not taking control of his career :huh

    Well, leaving Bob worked out pretttttttyyy good for Oscar and Mayweather.

    Pac should leave in December when his contract is up.

    Floyd's latest fight was against JMM. He cheated.

    Pac's latest fight was against Hatton. Throw in Oscar and Morales for heavenly **** sake. Did he cheated or caught on PED?

    Floyd has to weigh 147. done. easy.

    Pac has to have the NSAC drug test. OSDT urine test + bloodtest 24days before the test. no problem. floyd wanted full blood testing leading to the fight.

    And mind you. the 10mil is a counter offer for the extra test.

    24. People won't pay to see Mayweather's style
    25. "I don't even know what ees a steroid" -Manny Pacquiao -Future President of the Filipines
    26. Maywaether may not get a licensed by the boxing commision, so we can't negotiate fight- Bob Arum

    Yes, they signed a two year extension in 2010, which expires in 2012.

    I'm betting Pacquiao reitres by then though.
