    The guy is a walking contradiction! He calls himself money but refused big money in a rematch with Oscar..His fans say well he made as much against Canelo ..An easy fight..Won't fight manny for the biggest purse in boxing !his fans say he made 48 mil against Guerrero another easy fight ..They act like they get a cut from his cherry picking and then justify it because of what he made :lol:

    bro,
    us real fans of floyd and or paq know the money is very important to both of them.. almost as important as their egos..

    i blame both but more on paq and arum cause ALL that really needed to be done was the testing, thats it. floyds been talkin smack since, just showing his power and him saying he dont need paq is another ego builder.

    they both need eachother for future referece.. floyd haters make me defend floyd and i hate defending any warrior from some keyboard clown but most of them truly sound like the idiots that purposely go to floyd youtude vids and just trash nonstop and 90% of it is such BS but they spew it so much i think the ignorance has taken over and they are strting to believe the nonsene

    I got tired of defending the guy in the drivers seat .. It's really up to him ..Egos do play a big part that's the reason plenty of fights never materialized ..But at least in this day and age with social media etc the fans have more of a voice .

    Yeah I have to admit I got caught up in it ..At the end of the day I just want this fight to happen! It's long overdue .

    Void has been ducking Pac for years now. Pac/Void is the biggest fight out there, yet Void is allowing his extreme fear of Pac to keep him from fighting that fight. Think about it, Void claiming that he would easily beat Pac?! If that is so, then Void would have taken that fight years ago for the biggest payday of Void's career..............Void is a chicken...............a fake hero..............Void is void.............

    There was never any reason to suspect Sugar Shane when he was tested positive against ODLH, there was never any reason to suspect Margarito was using illegal wraps, but he was. You are the one without perspective. So what if Floyd's claims we substantiated or not, he added it as part of negotiations, the way Manny added 10 million per pound. Manny I'm sorry to tell you is the 1 who bought suspicion on himyself by not only refusing, but also lying, (oh, I don't like needles) remember that. Not get off your soapbox. And stop with that I'm not a Pacquiao fan. Cause it's obvious you are.

    Lewis would have fought Ruiz if Ruiz and King had waited until after he fought Grant. Everybody wanted to see Lewis/Grant, practically nobody wanted to see Lewis/Ruiz, Lewis took the fight the majority wanted and offered to fight Ruiz afterward. King and Ruiz took Lewis to court to get the fight or the belt and Lewis wasn't prepared to drop the bigger payday to keep a belt which would be just a paper title without someone beating him for it.

    Chris Byrd's own promoter, Don King, paid Lewis a million dollars and gave him a new car to drop the IBF belt and not fight Byrd. If Byrd's promoter is actively trying to avoid the fight then it cannot be a duck.

    JASPER,

    That's not the point. Asking for a penalty clause is not the same as randomly giving blood at any day up to the fight, when your potential opponent didn't even have an issue with it, until his father had made comments. So Floyd can stipulate anything, yet if Manny doesn't agree, it's he who's to blame?
    You're so biased it's painful. Manny didn't want to be tested at any point up until the day of the fight. Why should he have agreed to that, when again, Floyd had no issue for the first half of 2009? If Floyd wanted to clean up boxing, why didn't he want to clean it up before 2009, when he'd turned pro in 1996? Why before official negotiations with Manny took place, didn't he make an official statement saying - "I require ALL/ANY future opponents to be randomly tested up until the day of the fight"?? None of that ever happened. Manny said he'd take three tests, including one after the fight. It wasn't enough. Floyd said 14 days. Manny wouldn't agree, and the fight fell through. Manny then backed down, and Floyd wanted a vacation.

    This is the problem that I have with guys like you. No perspective. Why did Manny walk away? Because Floyd didn't agree the cut off. So you're blaming Manny for not agreeing with Floyd's demands. Well why don't we look from another perspective? Why don't we say that Floyd LET Manny walk away, by not giving into Manny's request.

    In your world - Manny not agreeing to Floyd's requests = Manny's to blame.

    Floyd not agreeing to Manny's request = You've no issue with that.

    The world doesn't revolve around Floyd Mayweather.

    I don't want to hear no bull**** car analogy. Heard them all before. You're just making excuses for him.

    Manny was man enough to back down and give Floyd what he wanted. He went back on his word. Yet you're telling me that Floyd couldn't have gone back on his word?

    Manny originally said there was no way he was doing 14 days. He was adamant. But then he changed his mind.

    But Floyd couldn't have done the same to make the fight??

    The only person stopping Floyd from changing his mind was Floyd himself.

    How the hell can demanding all of the PPV revenue be a starting point? Ha! It was a joke, and shows you the intentions of Floyd. Nobody serious about making the fight would have pulled that bull****.
    So what?
    I think you'll find it's the other way round my friend.

    None of Manny's other opponents have had the same issues.

    It was Floyd who went on vacation after Manny had backed down and agreed to his demands.

    It's Floyd who wanted the entire PPV revenue, to face a yellow, rice eating midget, who would supposedly have been 'easy work'

    This will stay with Floyd forever.

    Also, The Mayweather's have never had any evidence of Manny being dirty, and they had to publicly apologise and pay a fine.

    I think it's hilarious that you've no problem with the Mayweather's tarnishing Manny's name without any evidence, yet you have an issue with Manny taking them to court and suing them.

    Ha! Biased much?

    Man I just wish that everything was vice versa. I wish that Freddie and Manny had accused Floyd of being dirty, and then demanded tests etc.

    I'm sure that Floyd Snr, Floyd, Jeff and Roger would have had no issues whatsoever. Ha!

    A simple condition in YOUR opinion.

    Why should Manny have people coming into camp for blood tests up until the day of the fight, when:

    1. Floyd initially wasn't bothered about testing.

    2. Manny had already agreed to be tested three times, including directly after the fight?

    3. Manny in 2005 (four years before any negotiations with Floyd) gave an account of how blood had weakened him in his fight with Morales. We've all seen the links.

    You're deluded!

    According to you, Floyd basically can stipulate ANYTHING, to any opponent, because it's 'boxing' but if the opponent doesn't agree, and the fight doesn't happen, then it's THEIR fault, and not Floyd's?

    Ha! Right.

    It might dawn on you one day, that if Floyd hadn't have demanded OSDT, and refused to go back on his word, like Manny had done, then we might have seen this fight.
