I personally blame Floyd, I think initially his concerns and conditions were a bit unfounded and insulting BUT Manny still came to a compromise- and was willing to give him some blood- when by all rights- he had the right to give him none- and just have a stand off. I think the 24 day cutoff was more than fair. This is just so upsetting. I was a fan of floyd once upon a time- And as for Manny - I think he has to shoulder a small part of blame too- starting a suit against your future business partner wasnt a great move - if he really really wanted to get this done. If you wanna get in bed with a girl- you do it with sweet talk, both these guys were playing hard to get. It was never gonna get done
If Floyd fights Williams or Mosley and Pacquiao fights Bradley or JMM, I wont be as upset...But if Floyd fights M Hatton and Paquiao goes ahead with this farce of fight with Foreman, **** em both. Please don't insult my intelligence with any of these fights. Its inexcusable that this fight isn't being made and both sides are cleary to blame for this debacle. Another black eye for a sport I love:-(
Both :-( Like someone else said, its like watching a fight not happen where one guy is scared and the other guy is glad hes scared.... pretty pathetic and pretty low as far as boxing is concerned. :-(
I've blamed both sides from the start. **** both of them. And I think the promoters and teams weren't too thrilled with a March 13th date, since it's a short build-up for such a huge fight. They couldn't delay it a couple months because Pac has his elections, so now they're probably delaying it til later in the year. Now we will probably get two shitty matchups in the meantime.
Both sides are at fault, but not equally....I put more blame on pacquiao's side.... I believe he is clean, but he could have put all this **** to rest by agreeing to random blood testing....we would not be discussing all this crap, if he would have just said yes..... He could have gone on to make 40 million win, lose, or draw....and had his name cleared of PED use in the process....that is what baffles me:huh
I also would like to say that golden boy conducted themselves well- but bob arum didnt do his reputation any service. both sides had agreed to not play out in the media until negotiations had fallen apart- gbp held up their end- but it seemed like every day bob was going to the media- and fighting his fight thru the media. he just didnt seem to give manny the best advice on this one. it all came down to who wasnt going to flinch come negotioations=- who was he boss in the boardroom. both parties repping big egoes- we get it. and sure- bob and manny may have had the better of the standoff in those terms- but they may have won the battle- but we all lost the war as a consequence.
Every "Floyd ONLY!" = ******* spouting their typical nonsense. Floyd fans, non *******s and people who don't hug nuts will all agree that everyone is to blame.
Every post you see from these floyd fans saying "**** them both" is just an easy way for them to not blame floyd personally. You mega fans suck dick. You have no ****ing idea how to be objective. Yeah, manny pacquiao was going to hop on some steroids for 20 days of training camp and come in and rip Floyd's head off... 20 ****ing days to use steroids?? What the ****? You know how long it takes to cycle a steroid and get effective results?!!?! Floyd refused the mediation result and is now officially afraid to fight a guy he would probably have beat. How ****ing sad.
