    The 10 mil weight penalty was unreasonable but like I said Floyd was no stranger to that when he was with Arum they did the same thing for Wright ( though not 10 mil)

    And why should drug testing be on Floyd's terms with there was going to be drug testing in place ? Why did that have to on his terms when it's never been done before ?

    What you mean it's never been done before? Did you start watching boxing in 2009?

    Tyson demanded Holyfield take extra testing before he signed for their fight. What did Evander do? He manned the fvck up, took the tests, and got the fight on.

    WHat did Pac do? He sued, and cancelled the fight.

    So why wasn't Tyson's request in 1996 as controversial as Mayweather's today? Well, Holyfield immediately agreed to terms so it never became an issue.

    I don't think Floyd's or Pac's demands were unreasonable. I think the reason Pacs team initially didn't want to agree to random drug testing was a battle of egos more than anything, they didn't want Fliyd to call the shots. Both have been linked to PEDs but I don't think either have taken any. If Pacs team swallowed their pride and accepted that Floyd was the bigger name the fight might of happened. Since the breakdowns in 2010 Floyd has no demands, he just doesn't want the fight anymore, even though after it fell through and Pac's team changed their mind and accepted the random drug testing. Now Floyd gives one of his million excuses to why he doesn't want the fight.

    But the manner in which he did so. RBT, then the matter about money issues, the promoter issues etc. Im not defending nor attacking any side. I personally think the blame goes to Pac but the manner in which Floyd put up barriers appeared to be an escape route. If he thinks so highly of himself like he shows in the media that he does then im sure he would have thought he can beat Pac with or without PED's. because he put out 'excuses' i dont think he is self conscious and has self doubt.

    Because smart fighters know that there are plenty PED users in the sport who routinely pass basic commission testing. By\ the way did the Balco investigation which indited fighters like Shane Mosley never happen? Was Manny not putting in performances and jumping weight classes in a manner that seemed elevated?

    I just want to know if Floyd was so scared why is it Manny who had all the demands?

    It shouldn't have to come that. Theres 2 sides to that. If Pac was so sure he wasn't on PED's, then he would have just taken the test.

    Holyfield had never tested positive for PED's prior to Tyson asking. You know what he did? He just took the tests. No if's or but's. He was that sure of himself.

    Pac is the only fighter that had a problem with taking tests for Floyd.

    Ortiz
    Guerrero
    Cotto
    Canelo
    Mosley

    All took tests. No problems.

    10 million per lb weight penalty is unreasonable and I believe it was placed in that contract as an attempt to get Floyd to decline. The shock for Team Pac is that "Money" Mayweather accepted the ridiculous demand. Why can't Manny accept Floyd's "not riduculous at all" demand?

    Tyson demanded that Holy take a steroid yes not the same with MW's testing

    And he sued them because they made accusations with no proof !



    And as far as the. Holyfield testing it wasn't OSDT it was for steroids but not the same

    Holyfield did not test positive for steroids prior to or after his rematch with Tyson nor in any other fight to date. However, neither Holyfield nor his book mentioned the type of testing Evander was subjected to. Was his urine tested or blood, or both? Was it a scheduled, one-time test or was it a series of random tests? Of note, Mayweather has requested random testing be performed 14 days prior to the fight.
