    The main argument has been that Mayweather has put road blocks to the fight by making unreasonable demands. First, by asking for RBT to be conducted to both of them and second, by demanding a larger share of the money. So, is there any reasonable explanation why Mayweather should have these demands?

    If Floyd is really scared as it is put, why did he not rush to fight Pacquiao when he had a terrible showing with Marquez? How come Floyd is not rushing to fight Pacquiao even when Pacquiao is coming off a defeat? One thing we will never know for sure is if Mayweather Jnr truly believes Pacquiao was on something or he was just trying to unsettle him and he fell for the trick and made it difficult not have him as a suspect.

    He called out Pac full force 2 weeks before he fought Marquez III. :yep

    Floyd contradicts himself in nearly every sentence. Pacquiao you're next ... don't put words in my mouth. Watch the Bob Costas interview. He said "my health comes first". I doubt he is afraid of Pac, but he is hesitant as hell to take that fight.

    Pac is a scumbag, cheat and juicer.
    After his last 2 fights, its open season on him.
    Nobody is afraid of Pac.

    OK?

    Floyd uses the "health is important" lines when he is asked about the testing he is requesting.

    I believe it's his way of saying "look, if I'm gonna take an L to somebody, it isn't gonna be because that person is cheating".

    Then you gonna go and say how Floyd is hesitant as hell, but not mention the 101 + excuses team Pac has come out with themselves.

    Come on mang. :yep

    No, but the fact that the fight hasn't happened does not help his cause.

    Yes it's obvious Floyd fans are just on denial.

    Floyd: I am concerned with my health if I fight Pacquiao.

    a call out from floyd is not definite.

    he called out winky and also stated that he would love to fight the pwill-sergio winner. he also said that pac is next then denied saying it.

    we know now that he was just ****in' around...to titillate you and the gang.

    Why would he need to? Isn't this thread stricly about Floyd's reasons? Love how you and others give Pac credit for all the things Ariza/Arum/Roach say though.

    You know what I'm talkin' about.

    Floyd reserving the MGM Grand and all that **** was a little more than an average "call out".

    Just like the 100+ excuses team Pac came out with to dodge fighting on that date was a little more than "bull ****". :deal
