    He'd pull a Marquez and say "fine, but you gotta take the tests, too".

    *Manny then goes conspicuously silent.

    You floyd fanboys are the biggest drama queens. If Floyd was accused, refused testing that Roach wantefd, NOTHING would happen, just as nothing did w/ Pac. You fools don't get it at all. Most people saw the smokescreen from Floyd, and sided w/ Pac because of the way it came about. I'm aweare that's too mcu thinking for you Floyd fanboys. but give it a try. And if you get tired of thinking big, take a nap. :thumbsup

    This is all after Pac-May, it paved the path to where we are now. And Floyd could have easily agreed to fight pacquiao last year and we could have put this all to rest by now.

    Why did Floyd demand such aggressive blood testing requirements when PAC agreed to any number of randomized urine tests?

    Would you give in to demands of someone that's your equal after they've **** on your name and blasted you in public? that's like positive reinforcement for behavior that doesn't warrant it.

    :lol: Gullible much? Floyd plays victim to the media like it's his job. You think if he was falsey accused, he'd just say "fine!"? With his ego and control issues? You have no damn clue... :patsch

    So you have no logical reason for why a clean fighter would try to negotiate cutoff dates.

    ... Interesting.

    :patsch it's irrelevent to this discussion rube... Besides, you joined the board just three months ago. You're probably an alt account user. But if you are in fact new, this discussion has been going on for years. Search the archives if you need to catch up on old ****...

    The 10 million per pound penalty was even more ridiculous than asking for steroid tests. One of these requests were unprecedented.

    Care to guess which one?

    Why would Floyd all the sudden feel the need to demand blood testing against the guy whom he was claiming would be "easy work"...who he also said was a midget and over hyped? Doesn't make sense to go to the extend of creating his own brand of testing against a guy whom would have offered him his biggest pay check and for his "easiest" nights work.

    The negotiations for the cut off were for BLOOD TESTS only which Floyd wanted all the way up to the day of the fight. Which USADA wouldn't do, but Floyd had that as part of the requirements....WHY?

    So why not just refuse it outright?

    That has always been Roach, looking out for his fighter

    Depends on how he does it.

    A) If he just says "No. I will only take the tests mandated by the commission." and never speaks of the issue or opponent again? Like a guy who based on some weird principal just would not play along.

    B) If he makes up a bunch of excuses then eventually agrees? He looks like a guy who has no principals and was just ducking testing.

    Either way, if the purse is the largest prize fight purse in history, you look VERY suspicious as an allegedly clean PRIZE fighter not taking that drug test. It would be like a mathematician passing on a simple math test for the job of a lifetime.

    It's called negotiations.....There were areas that both mutually agreed to and others where they injected their own proposals... i.e. "blood tests"

    And JohnnyDrama joined a month before I did. Does that invalidate anything that he says, or did I miss the one month cutoff (pun intended)?
