    So Floyd had finally gotten what he'd originally wanted, but wouldn't agree in principle for a fight early this year, (before Marquez beat Manny) because Manny's team had refused to meet with Oscar previously?

    What is this? Play school?

    Yes, he agreed it in September, and was willing to take the lesser cut, for a proposed fight earlier this year. Floyd then met with Arum.

    Then Marquez knocked out Manny, and killed everything completely.

    I'm not disputing that half way between 30 and nothing isn't 14 days.

    What I'm saying is, seen as though Manny had been labelled a cheat, and he'd agreed to be OSDT'd in the first place, I don't see why Floyd couldn't have accepted the 24 day cut off, with an after fight test, to make the fight.

    That's what I would class as meeting someone half way.

    There was no proof that Manny was dirty, and he agreed to the initial testing. So Floyd should have granted his cut off request.

    It is play school. If you see Pacturds in the sandbox, don't play in it kids.

    floyd then should have no problem releasing methods and details how his test was done.

    rumor was, 3 A samples came back dirty and the B samples were not done to confirm the positive result.

    Yes Manny had agreed to fight Marquez again, and was in training. The meeting was to discuss a potential bout for earlier this year, obviously if he'd have gotten past Marquez.

    Again, Floyd had no issue with testing demands, until Floyd Snr opened his mouth.

    Then the testing demands came into place.

    This is my problem.

    Manny gets labelled a cheat, with no proof, and Floyd issues demands on top of that, but it's all ok, because it's his right?

    It's fine for Floyd to issue those demands, but when Manny doesn't accept them, everyone goes mad, and blames him for the fight not taking place.

    It's utter madness.

    If Floyd has a right to issue those demands, then Manny has a right to not agree with everything.

    Why does everything have to be on Floyd's terms?

    He's just a fighter at the end of the day.

    He's not above boxing.

    You're right, there is a big difference. With one demand, you have the change of losing a few vials of blood and it being a minor inconvenience. With the other, you have the chance of losing millions. I think most sane people would worry feel that the chance of losing millions is much more of a big deal.

    There wouldn't have been any danger of Floyd losing anything.

    When has Floyd ever had weight issues?

    A minor inconvenience?

    Coming in at any point during a 9 week period, up until the day of the fight?

    This is a lie. Floyd offered 14 days before and during mediation. It most certainly was real.

    These extreme Mayweather fans will do absolutely everything to defend him in every situation. I'm impressed. Everyone blames Floyd for that fight not happening and there's a reason for that.

    And there wouldn't be a danger of Pac losing anything, bcause he was clean....RIGHT?

    Yes, a minor inconvenience. Funny, he is has a training camp w/ Rios and it's not such an inconvenience....not to mention, not a big deal for Bradley with 2 different testing agenceis, Marquez, Ortiz, Mosley, Cotto, Canelo and many others. ONLY for Pac is a HUGE issue.

    By the way, since when did Rios demand the testing? As far as I know it was Pac team that demanded it.
