    PAc is fighting Floyd, and Floyd is fighting Arum. No matter what happens, PAc has a snowballs chance surviving in hell of beating PAc.

    What makes people think there should be a lengthy cutoff date? The real number of cutoff days should be 3 since that's the number of days it takes for Manny to recover - revealed on camera by Roach. People need to realize if you agree to take a test you are expected to complete it in its original format. Otherwise if you aren't ready, don't take it. Does a teacher show favoritism by giving one person 80 questions on a test while the rest of the students receive 100? That's asinine and should never be allowed. Manny Pac is not a handicapped child therefore he should not be given a reduced test. If he was competing for the Special Olympics I would be more than happy to make life as easy as possible for him. But we're dealing with the professional sport of Boxing. He's expected to overcome unreasonable circumstances. That's why he's respected so much and gets paid millions.

    I say either take the tests with a maximum of 3 cutoff days or drop every stipulation on both sides. I doubt Floyd would be willing to drop the tests but if it happens for the sake of coming to an agreement I'm all for it. The purse split is now an issue however if Pac is just fighting for legacy, which he has gone on record to say, then it shouldn't be a problem for him to take the smaller share. Money Mayweather is all about money therefore it's unlikely he'll concede to an even split. To get an opportunity to be the first to beat Floyd I sure as hell would be willing to take a small pay cut. Money comes and goes but an imprint in the record books lasts forever!

    All of the Floyd fans are going off about how 14 days isn't good, even though Floyd originally proposed that. No one knows if Mayweather is going to accept it or not. If he does accept it, what do think all of his fans are going to say then? .. "ohh 14 days is cool, I have no problem with that.. dur."

    You mean how you and your friends were crying about Floyd not making the rules, but once emmanuel accepted you all conveniently forgot that it's "wrong" since Floyd "doesn't make the rules"?

    Taking blood in boxing is not a standardized test, it's not even compulsory. Pacquiao is actually going way out of his way to make this fight happen just because Floyd's daddy thinks he's too good to be natural.

    And according to the purse split they sould just leave it at 50/50. Pac fughts for legacy, but being the best fighter in the worlds comes with pride and even if he didn' care about money (which everybody does) taking less than 50% is being way too submissive to Floyd's demands when Pacquiao has actually sacrificed more than Floyd to make the fight happen. * That is if he does take the tests.*

    Clottey is a solid contender and former titlist in the welterweight division.
    He didn't have to accept any blood tests at all and he still doesn't. But apparently he's willing to do it now because he really wants to fight Floyd. So yes, it's pretty clear he does fight for legacy. Clottey was the best opponent available (Shane was still compromised with Berto).

    Fighting for legacy doesn't mean closing your mouth, let your opponent **** you and then fight him because you only care about legacy. It means you take the best fights as a prize fighter always looking to enhance your legacy by fighting the best opponents available. Pac's trying to do that by trying to make the fight with Floyd and not asking for ridiculous demands, sit back behind them and imply the other fighter is at fault because he's not submitting to his demands.

    This will happen. There's too much money on the table for it not to. End thread.
