    I'm only asking because I remember Floyd offering Pacquiao a 50/50 split with OST Drug Testing and Manny turning it down. I also remember Floyd offering Pacquiao a guaranteed 40 million and Pac turned it down. Now they say Floyd handpicks his opponents but when his opponents dont accept the offer how does that equal Floyd handpicking? Or does that equal Floyd is ducking?

    I thought the guy who rejects or refuses to negotiate is the ducker? Can somebody explain this one please..

    Yeah he tried cherry picking Pacquiao, but Pacquiao was afraid of needles according to his team

    Whoever Mayweather fights will automatically transform into cherry. Surely clowns here will forget this but when he was rumored to be fighting Pacquiao in March 2010, almost everyone cried "He's fighting another small guy after Marquez!, if he's serious he will fight Mosley the real #1 Welter!". When the Pacquiao talks fell through Mosley transformed into an old broken cherry while Pacquiao was the real deal who became bigger in size overnight.

    He tried to cherry pick but the cut wouldn't have been healed in time to fight him in may. But apparently pacqauio's cut was healed in time to fight his cherry pick Marquez in may.

    Go figure, to anyone with a brain that makes PAC a cherry picking ducker.

    Needles in 2009/2010 - they drain manny, weaken him, needs cutoffs, no fight!

    blood testing years later - I'll fight as long as Rios does random blood testing :nono


    :conf

    "I'm a rich coward" - Mayweather talking about Pacquiao

    That's all that needs to be said. Close this thread. Mayweather ducked Pacquiao at his prime because he was scared.
