    Not getting blood drawn. :conf

    Either way it's a non-issue. Pac eventually said up to the night of the fight not long after 7 days was rejected.

    I wonder what Floyd as doing. Just healing I guess. It seems to do his body good to take those frequent breaks from the sport, given how he's just performed.

    answer goes way back to 2005...and again, nowhere did pac even talk about a needle as a reason why he doesn't want his blood tested before the fight.

    "Both camps agreed to a 50/50 split"

    The camps agreed to a 50-50 split of the money, which could be gargantuan. Many experts expect the fight to eclipse the all-time pay-per-view record for sales, which is the 2.44 million buys generated by Mayweather's 2007 victory against Oscar De La Hoya.

    His demand that Floyd come in on weight? Not really the same is it.

    What do you think Floyd would have said if it was Pacquaio that suggested random testing. Do you think he would have bent over and said "yes sir Mr. Pacquaio whatever you say". Not really the same is it.

    Same age, same weight. One was winning a gold medal, the other was a Filipino champion.

    Floyd gave Manny the opportunity to do 14 days and Manny walked away and Floyd said no more cut offs. Then Arum and Koncz came out saying that drug testing wasn't an issue anymore and they agreed. Then on 24/7 for Margarito Koncz said, "we pretty much agreed to the test, just not within 7 days."

    That isn't agreeing and Floyd stuck to his word that he will not do any cut offs.

    Could he had giving Manny a 7 day window? Hell yes but they all have egos. Could Manny just agree from the start? Yes but something or someone made them pull back from testing and Manny could have put all that shut to rest by doing random testing for Mosley who was down for it.

    It would never have happened anyway. Even if Manny had instantly agreed to all of Floyd's demands.

    Manny eventually gave into Floyd and agreed with all the testing, giving him what he'd wanted all along. Did the fight get made? No!

    Floyd then demanded all of the PPV money from what would have been the biggest grossing fight of all time.

    Floyd wouldn't have fought him regardless. He would have always thrown up a roadblock to prevent the fight.

    You do realize that Mayweather only lost to Todorov right?
