    Who's at least 51% to blame for this fight not happening?

    2-1 for floyd so far. I thought there'd be more pac hate.

    Are we going to let them negotiate before issuing blame? They have until the end of June to work something out.

    If you are clean you would be happy to do any tests.

    Pacweather and Pacweather are equally to blame. You'd swear they both have egos the size of Mannoyd Pacweather.

    for the previous muck up of the negotiations? 50/50 blame I say, ego and pride is what got in the way. It was like a contest of who could make who budge more, and in the end neither side budged enough.

    I think they are both to blame ,specifically for negotiating out in the public too much the 1st time and secondly for allowing there egos to get in the way.

    If we look at the previous round of negotiations exclusively, I felt Arum in particular wanted nothing to do with the fight and guided Pac's decisions in the matter. I truly believe that Mayweather's 14 day cutoff was quite reasonable and should have been accepted to get the fight done.

    But now? **** Floyd for turning around and changing the stipulations. And **** his blind sheep followers for allowing him to do so. Whether or not he actually intends to hold firm on his new demands (60/40 split among them), he is truly in jeopardy of ****ing this fight up.

    To be fair, thats the way the world works...

    Lets say there is two business, with one doing slightly better sales than the other and I want to buy the business thats slightly behind. We negotiate a $14 million deal, then i end up pulling out, 6 months pass an the business i was going to buy is now selling double the stock of their other competitor, do you really think its as easy as going back an saying "here theres that 14 million you were looking for your business"

    Not a chance.

    I'm under the opinion that random tests shouldn't have no cut of date, 14 days wasn't good enough before, so why is it good enough now?

    All you have to take into consideration is one thing considering that
    neither side of the fanbase is going to bend on this. Manny was never
    alleged or even suspected of any drug abuse UNTIL the mayweathers
    brought this up. This was a rumor that got out of hand, so mayweathers
    side is 100% at fault for this fight not happening.

    Pac take a simple blood test given to both fighters to ensure a clean fight. Mosley had no problems doing it.

    Sorry christo but do you have any proof of this?

    As far as i was aware the only proof will be from taking the tests.

    For the record tho, i want to see a 50/50 spilt.
    Both men take the tests.
    Pac picks glove size, Mayweather ring size.

    Now doesn't that sound fair?
