    It really just depends on how Pacquaio looks. If you watch him training on the bag and the pads, same old Pac.

    If he comes out and looks the same or close enough...considering it was 4 years ago when negotiations for Mayweather took place...then nobody should ever accuse him of PEDs again.

    I imagine Pacquaio requested the test because he wants the fight with Mayweather and because he believed Marquez cheated last time.

    I am a fan of both guys and Have been asking that same damn question since team Pac finally said that they were willing to do the testing. If he took the test back then they would have fought. Floyd had already signed the contract but Pac walked away. I really do not understand how any reasonable person cannot see this a fact.

    Pac killed the first deal, then a couple years later he wants to turn back time and ask for the same terms. However, that deal was dead and buried and so when Floyd called him out in ever form possible, Floyd had every right to start from scratch and offer new terms. I bet right now Pac would LOVE to have that $40 MILL offer right now.:deal

    I dont think Floyd was scared at all. I just don't think he ever really wanted to fight Pac. Otherwise he wouldn't have made it that difficult.

    The blood testing Floyd wanted in all reality wasn't necessary. .....not to the extent he wanted it implemented at least.

    I found Floyds demands for Manny very interesting but more telling. .....I just don't buy that he really wanted to fight Pac.

    Again.....not that Floyd was scared. ...just not willing to make the fight happen.

    It was only difficult because Manny made it difficult. A simple yes could have gone a long way.

    maybe canelo, would like to osee him against a decent fighter to see what the number would be? i mean people say it was all mayweather doing the numbers in their last fight but i dnt think mayweather broke 1mill in his last few fights prior to canelo so canelo must have brought some decent numbers in, i think after a few build up fights he could get a million buys

    In the US or worldwide?

    Because the list of fighters that can sell far over 1M in their (adopted) home country is much bigger as the list of fighters who can sell (very expensive) PPV in the US.

    Tyson-Botha did 750k.
    Tyson-Lewis did 1.9mil.

    People bought into the event. Same case with Floyd-Canelo, the event was billed as the young hungry lion with too much size who can take Floyd's 0. Without Tyson, Lewis would be lucky to break 300k, likewise I think without a big name, Alvarez at this point would be lucky to break 400k.

    as i said would have to be against someone decent, maybe a ggg or martinez, against a average contender he would be lucky to break 300,00
