    650k is my guess. Anything more than 800k and I would be surprised.

    handfuls? almost everyone gave credit to pacquiao for beating cotto. it's only the joyboys and haters who won't give credit.

    so basically every fighters who won't subscribe to a mayweather test should not be given credit? are you still too naive to believe on all these **** by the mayweather clan?

    I did'nt say majority, I said handfuls....meaning there were many who would not give Pacquiao the credit.

    We should be through discussing this ****......we both know that it is'nt about anything any of the Mayweather's said, but everything about what Pacquiao and his team have said from the very mention of Olympic style testing.

    Mayweather did'nt hang Pacquiao, he just built the gallow.......Pacquiao walked up to it all by himself and hung himself.

    lol. so pacquiao not bending to floyd's **** is now an act of suicide? what do you call jmm then, being prostituted by GBP's oscar and floyd when they just paid jmm off when floyd weighed over the agreed catchweight?

    Seriously. The promotion of this fight has been a miserable failure so far. I see 3 main factors that are responsible:

    - overestimated public's awareness of Clottey - nobody cares about him. Sure he's got a nice story, but so does EVERYONE ELSE in boxing.
    - relied too much on Cowboys Stadium - ok, so it's cool that it's in a football stadium, but unless it's full of 90k ppl does it really even matter?
    - Mayweather/Mosley: it's just a much much better fight, and the press conference tour this week was the final piece to kill any chance of this PPV being a success.



    There is NO buzz for this bout. Everyone seems to be waiting for May1.

    You're pathetically grasping at straws......JMM vs Mayweather has nothing to do with Pacquiao's comportment in regards to random testing.

    Pacquiao did'nt even have to agree to the random tests to be deemed innocent until proven guilty......its the way he and his whole camp comported themselves in embarrasingly trying to explain why he would'nt.

    Everything the Pac team said was indicative and reeked of someone defending guilt.


    "We are not going to let Mayweather dictate to us drug testing protocol ......We will oblige by with any test the NSAC wants us to take, and nothing else."

    Say that and STFU.......but instead we got what we got.

    "Drawing blood the day of the fight makes me weak."

    "If it does'nt effect me physically, it effects me mentally."

    .....then Roach, "We're fine with a 5 day window."......and then re-canting.

    etc........

    Like it or not, both Mayweather's over the weight issue and Pacquiao's weak excuses and then denial to get tested were prime ***** moves.....

    .....what Mayweather did with coming over weight does'nt excuse Pac walking up to face the gallow, tieing the noose over his neck, and letting 'er rip.

    You cant undo Puga, whats already been done.

    i'm just giving you an example on how floyd tries to pull **** to two different fighters. the other one refuses to bow down to floyd and the other one cannot do anything at all. it really is a perception thing. you think, pac not bowing to floyd is suicide while you think jmm bowing down to floyd is not.

    Did you even try to comprehend what I posted???

    Its not what Mayweather demanded that made Pac look like a fool......its what Pac did in defending why he would'nt oblige Mayweather's stipulation that made him look the fool.

    If you want me to put it in boxing lingo.......Mayweather set a simple (not complicated) trap by stipulating random drug testing, and Pacquiao ran head first right into it.
    The effects of the jolt on Pacquiao were much worse than the jolt on Hatton by Mayweather's check hook, that had Hatton ramming his head on the turnbuckle.

    so pacquiao not adhering or you might say adhering to floyd's trap means he is now a roid user according to you? might as well believe in his uncle and father that pac is bulletproof for using a-side meth. :lol:

    I've always said reading comprehension was'nt a ******* strong suit.:D

    Clue, read from the beggining of our post exchanges......go slow......try to soak it in and see if it registers........

    ....End result, at the very moment that Pacquiao did'nt just come out and say "I'm not going to let Mayweather dictate drug policy, I will only take the tests the NSAC tells me to take.".......
    This would have been what Mayweather prayed Pacquiao did not say.......

    .....and in the wake of Pacquiao not commiting to the tests, Pacquiao's weak and varied excuses are exactly what Mayweather would want Manny Pacquiao to do.




    So in essence, Mayweather set the trap by stipulating random drug testing........

    The only way for Pacquiao to have avoided that trap was to either accept if he was clean.......
    .....or he could have chosen the alternative option whether he was clean or not.....and that was to say, "I will only oblige what the NSAC demands."
    .....with Pacquiao saying nothing more than that.


    But Pacquiao did'nt do that, what he did was dive head first into the trap that Mayweather set by coming up with a different excuse every few days for the reasons he could'nt take the tests.


    If you cant understand that Puga.....I fully understand that reading comprehension is'nt your strong suit.....afterall, you're a *******!




    .....and btw, I could'nt care less what any Mayweather has to say on the subject.......I'm fully basing my conclusions on what Pac himself has said in regards to this whole random drug testing fiasco.
