    If Manny has agreed to take the tests the fight would be signed.

    the accusation was that Manny is take growth horemone which cannot be detected in urine and can be out of the blood stream in 3-5 days.

    What one win on Mayweather's resume trumps Pac's wins over Barrera, Cotto or Morales?

    Cmon achilles! The split, weight and gloves are hardly concessions. It was always going to be a 50-50 split at 147 and its not Reyes gloves but any 8oz gloves of the fighters choosing.

    Corrales was a beast at 130 as was Castillo as 135. Mayweather gets no where near the the respect he deservs for the De La Hoya win.

    You can't lay blame at the door of the person not agreeing to the unprecedented demand. Maybe if Team Mayweather hadn't embarked on a flagrant attempt at sullying Pac's name the negotiations would have been easier. I don't think they wanted them to be easy though, for reasons I've already talked about.

    So, just to make it clear, you're saying wins over those two fighters are better than the wins I mentioned for Pac.

    I don't think thats a fact. Senior said, Junior implied it, as did GBP by wanting testing but Pac didn't sue. Pac jumped up and down cried like a baby about needles and affecting his mindset. People then went 'wait a minute why won't he take the tests'. Pacs PR team are garbage and created the doubt in peoples mind.

    Floyd could'nt attract flies to ****:lol:

    DLH is the PPv queen & the Hatton & Marquez fans make up the rest, Floyd's never sold more than 4k tickets for a fight as the rest are all casino comps or give aways, the yanks hate him, but now that DLH gave him his HBO air time & what with all this pac crap most people will pay to see him beat. But Floyd on his own is a disaster he needs big names with a following & Pacman pulls in the massive hispanic market, floyd pulls nothing as he's even depised by the majority of black yanks:deal

    At the Hatton fight even al the security guards were coming up & saying i hope your boy beats that bum:bbb he's hated, respected for his boxing yes, but a a PPv single entity he's a ZERO.

    oh yeah, i forgot about that. first they wanted time to prepare so they said may or september so floyd said okay, then they said he is running for president so he wants to fight in march so floyd said okay despite that reducing time for preparation and marketing.
