    What'd Mayweather even say about Manny during the first negotiations? We hardly heard from him iirc

    MVC backs up what he says alot of the times with decent evidence and most people arguing back completely ignore it. Sometimes he does troll, but you can tell when he's being serious and when he's not.

    Baldomir can not be a cherrypick when he was holding all of the belts. I get that Margarito may have been the better fighter, but Floyd got more moneyto fight the guy that held of the belts.

    Pacman didn't have an unbeaten record to lose and has the unconditional love and support of his home country, win or lose. Floyd has a history of finding excuses to protect his 0, and he changed the pay terms when Pac agreed to testing. Pacman could have taken this fight if he really wanted it, but Floyd wanted everything on his terms and to his advantage, **** him.

    I think Manny was clean. For why he needed a cut off, I think his stupidass really thought he was going to be weakened by the blood tests.

    No one's forgot the situation, Scar. It's just that the whole "won't be dictated to" defense was lame then, and it's lame now.

    It looks even worse when the same folk making that defense at that time were also running around kissing Manny's azz for being 'humble', 'selfless' and a 'man of the people', while making post after post b!tching about Mayweather's 'attitude' and 'ego'. Combine that with the literally hundreds of conflicting explanations/excuses coming from Pacs camp (Arum, Koncz, etc.) about why they couldn't do the testing, and it becomes tragically laughable.

    But if you really believe in to this 'defense', Pacquiao's ego and pride prevented the biggest fight in boxing from happening. Period. His 'pride' was hurt and he didn't want the fight.

    Just accept it, leave it there and keep it moving. No amount of re-spinning will change that.

    There's no reason to not suspect any professional athlete, their livlihood depends on production and maintaining their status, the temptation to further their career or enhance their production is mind boggling.

    Floyd's a chicken, Floyd is going to run all fight, Floyd is scared to fight outside of Vegas.

    Maybe Mayweather should have sued them for talking bad about him.

    This is all fine and dandy but Roach at the beginning said they would have no problems with drug testing when negotiations first started.:deal When PBF kept saying he wanted testing they started to make excuses and came up with that bull**** weight penalty thinking PBF would turn it down when he didn't they pulled out and fought Clottey.

    Look, people still not acknowledging the fact that Pacquiao's experience of blood being drawn 2 days before the Morales fight affected him badly. You just have to read his quotes from 2005, he discussed how it affected him in some detail...
