    Let's think about this for a little bit since some of you people are slow.


    The a-side makes all the demands. It's the B-side to fight for what he can and settle for only what the a-side will give.

    If the B-side doesn't accept EVERY DEMAND of the A-side there is no fight and that falls strictly on the B-side.

    Can someone explain this to me please?

    The "A" side, Ray Leonard, offered the "B" side, Aaron Pryor, a career high payday.

    But people are still claiming Leonard ducked Pryor because they watch too much Legendary Nights.

    *Yes I know I have said this a trillion times. I'm intoxicated so whatever. **** revisionist history.*

    Why should the B-side accept every demand? For example, Floyd could say i'm the A-side to Pacquiao and demand the whole 100% purse, now why would Pacquiao accept such an offer? Theres a big difference from being realistic and ducking and you can tell the difference by the negotiations. I could go up to Floyd and say i'll fight you Floyd but i'll take 90% of the purse, Floyd will laugh and i'll say he's ducking LOL.... Piece of p1ss LOL

    If it's reasonable then the B-Side should accept. If it's unreasonable then it's the a-side ducking. Do you really not understand that?

    Anyone can duck a fight they don't want....if we look at Floyd vs Pac, Floyd didn't want the fight years ago so he did a slew of out of the ordinary type sh☆t that no one saw coming. Most people expected for everyone involved to clear the way of any obstacles that could jam this mega fight up.....not create obstacles as Floyd continually did over the 6 year delay. And Floyd was considered the A side. It happens all the time....negotiations always take place and there's compromise where a fair deal is worked out for both sides.....A and B.

    All this A side B side **** will end on May 2nd when Mayweather gets the BEATING of A LIFETIME.

    Come up with something new.

    The only thing A side is gonna be the A + ass whippin received by Mayweather.

    The A side B side argument is nothing more than an elaborate ploy to duck fighters. Fans don't care about why you're scared.

    But why? Why even throw out accusations if you really wanted to make the fight? Why go out of the way to demand testing that was beyond the requirements of any commission....if Floyd really wanted the fight? Was blood testing really so important? Knowing that it has always been the LEAST effective means to catch someone who is doping?

    I can't believe that there's really people buying into Floyd’s manipulation.....incredible. And Floyd didn't offer 50/50 corky! Ahaha. .....that was when both Pac and Floyd were p4p #1 and it was agreed by BOTH PARTIES it would be an even split.

    Where does this "A side B side" **** come from?? I haven't ever heard it in boxing until last year when Floyd brought it up.. If it's referring to records back in the day, I've bought plenty of tracks for the song on the B side.. It's all stupid as hell anyways, just make a fair negotiation and get the **** done and fight.
