    To show it wasn't straight up biased?


    Yeah, like I said TEAM PAC.

    :huh Reserving the MGM was was kept him out of jail then. And besides, just reserving doesn't mean much, especially after how badly negotiations went prior. That was just begging to have them break down again, which they did.

    YEah, I'm sure EVERYONE does that to show their post isn't straight up biased. Like saying reserving a venue means he's trying, in good faith, to make the biggest fight with a guy who's promoter he despises. :lol:

    If Pac tried, that tactic, I would fully expect Floyd to do the same.

    Who cares what the team said. Pac's word, or excuses, come from him. That's how the world works.

    Well for a mother ****er that "really Afraid of Pacquiao", I guess once again he's lucky as hell Team Pac didn't accept, huh? :lol:

    Well....I seem to recall a 50-50 was fine UNTIL Pac accepted the testing protocol Floyd laid out. D'oh!!

    Take da test!
    OK...
    Uh....take a lesser purse now!!
    :nut



    And for the record, I don't know if Floyd was afraid, but he saw something that made him pull all this ****. Something that even ATG's like SRL, Holmes, and Hagler were confused about. And they all think FLoyd beats him.
    I think Floyd just doesn't want the possibility he may lose to enter the equation.

    I know if it was me, I could find a upside to doubling the highest money I'd ever been paid.

    How did going to fight Timmy for half the money work out?

    I'd bet it's fair to say fans on both sides of the fence, by this current point 2+years later, have seen the team they support pull some **** that had them like: :huh:!::-:)blood

    :yep

    And with this estimated to be the highest grossing fight, are you taking into consideration how much Floyd will make OFF Pac as well? :huh

    And how much of the money floyd makes is based on his sweetheart deal w/ GBP? Of course Floyd would make more money. But the AMOUNT they generate was close enough that these shenanigans and ego just got in the way.

    :huh HOw does this post fit into Pac accepting the main obstacle, the testing, only to change it once accepted, which is what we were just on?
