    The bottom line is this, Floyd kept moving the goal posts everytime the fight looked like being made.

    The facts are:

    There's never been any PROOF that Manny was taking anything.

    Manny agreed to everything in the end, and it still wasn't enough.

    Yes, and we know why it took years.

    What about Floyd's excuses?

    What's happened is a ****ing joke!

    Everything was fine until Floyd Snr accused Manny, with NO proof!

    NONE of Manny's opponents have the same issue that Floyd has?

    WHY?

    Don't they care about their livelihoods?

    Floyd offered 50/50, then took it away, then wanted ALL of the PPV, Manny then AGREED TO EVERYTHING, the testing, the percentage everything, and it still wasn't enough.

    It's abundantly clear that Floyd never wanted the fight.

    One thing that has always stuck out to me is, why did Floyd need GBP involved anyway? Serious, why add another mouth that will just need to be fed? Everyone says Floyd isn't a GBP fighter. He's his own boss, yada, yada...but if having GBP involved will just create animosity, why exactly did they need to be involved in Floyd vs. Pac?

    :huh And you think Floyd would be willing to work alone w/ TR?

    If Floyd wasnted this fight, and knew TR and GBP could not work together to get it done, don't you think it makes sense to remove one of the obstacles?

    Let's be real, there was no reason for GBP to be involved, unless Floyd wanted or "needed" them involved.

    :huh That's none of floyd's business, or call to make, you realize. Like I said, why was GBP in there in the first place? Were they Floyd's promoter? Is he under contract w/ GBP? What's the deal?

    Arum wasn't interested in 2011, because he was was tired of Mayweather's antics and didn't believe he genuinely wanted the fight. At the time he was concentrating on making the 3rd Marquez fight.

    Floyd met with Arum late last year to discuss a potential fight.

    Manny extending his contract with Arum made no difference at all.

    You know that Mayweather was told by Arum not to fight DLH, Cotto or Margarito, you give Arum to much credit

    yes it did, when he extended his contract the option for the 4th marquez fight was already there. the article you linked saying pac agreed to 55-45 is BS because the marquez 4 fight was already signed, pac was just keeping his name in the media by using mayweathers name
