    So May can never ever take an easier fight cause he wasn't knocked out? That doesn't make too much sense.

    Answer the question, which other top fighter in HISTORY has demanded his opponent leave their promoter to make the fight?

    Last I checked there is drug testing ,Floyd was the one that demanded extra because of his paranoia ! Not once did I say drug testing was a bad thing.

    But then you have to look at the Marquez situation , he didn't say he lets get extra testing because I think your on something,lets just go the regular route and lets get it on ! See the difference ! No excuses !

    Look, if you are OK with spending your money on a Floyd vs Khan fight, so be it. But back to the original point: In his next fight, Pac is taking the best fighter available to him that's willing to get into the ring. Floyd isn't and not even by a longshot.

    I won't pay for that fight. No way. But I don't have a huge issue with him as long as he makes his next opponent a top notch fighter. Like a Maidana if he beats Broner again(although I do think Maidana is overrated) or a Garcia which I think he will.

    All he wanted was blood testing. That's it. And people make it out to be some monumental thing. A circus act they call it. You guys are a joke. All he had to do was pee in a cup and have blood drawn and we'd have the fight. Instead you guys make excuses for him. It's pathetic. Just admit it, you hate Mayweather. That's the root of it all. It's comical. I don't hate Pac at all. I was rooting for him against Rios. And sure, Mayweather is an a$$ to deal with it. But for his standards he was actually very reasonable for the fight. Very reasonable.

    No fights between Top Rank and GB are getting done so obviously one would have to leave the other.

    I agree, either of those two is a better opponent than Khan. I listed 10 opponents better than Khan the other day, between 147 and 154.

    Maidana
    Garcia
    Pacquiao
    Bradley
    Thurman
    Alexander
    Matthysse
    Lara (154)
    Angulo (154)
    Kirkland (154)

    Maidana is fighting Broner.
    A lot of those fights aren't possible.
    If he fought Angulo you people would rip that fight too and you know many would.
    Thurman I would think they want to build up more. Alexander you guys would rip. Matthysse you guys would rip.
    So he really don't have too many realistic options at this point. That's why i don't have a huge issue with the Khan fight. Will I buy it? No. But I don't think the guy should be burned at the stake because of it.

    well there all mismatches because mayweather is that good but hes always fought top competiton and fought guys off a big a win. Hatton sold because he was a top 10 p4p and brought the whole country of england to Vegas.

    Ortiz after beating Berto in a FOY candiate. Mosley after beating the crap out of Margarito. Cotto is a big name and people said Mayweather had ducked him so that sold fat. Guerrero after beating Berto in an exiciting fight. Canelo after his biggest win in trout and the fight everbody in the world wanted to see, thats how u get over 2 mil buys.

    any of those guys are better then fighting a 140 fighter who just lost his last fight in Rios. How the hell did they think that was gonna sell???? :patsch:patsch

    Again. I'm not a *****. I'm not here to argue all that other BS that he says on fight hype and stuff. I'll fully admit, after the first negotiations, Floyd has made sure the fight won't happen. But again, the first negotiation was there. All that needed to be accepted was a blood test. A BLOOD TEST! I don't know. Maybe you guys have never given blood before but if you have, it really ain't that big a deal at all. All the other fighters accepted it. Why not Pac? Cause he's afraid of needles? Yeah, ok. No excuses though. Right. I guess we'll agree to disagree. You guys keep your head up Pac's butt. And I'll continue to think that drug testing isn't an issue and the bigger deal, which was the money split, Mayweather offered 50/50! Can't get anymore reasonable than that.

    Maidana vs Broner is postponed and if Floyd wanted it, he could have it in a second.

    Same applies to almost every guy on that list, considering most aren't even with Top Rank, and they all provide at least a bit more intrigue than Khan does.

    I'm sure with them being close they talked about it and Broner wants Maidana next. Floyd ain't going to step in front of his "brother" to fight him. Get real man.
