    this is true in a way too, hard to deny

    at first floyd compromised to 14 (from no cut-off), but pac said no 21 (he couldn't just take the initial compromise)

    then after mosley floyd say no cut-off...and now pac says um, ok 7 -days


    this is one of the annoying things with pac

    cotto at 145 because 147 is too big, but clottey at 147 and now margo at 150 is ok (and cotto was even talked about at 150)

    14 days was too close when it was on the table, but as soon as it was taken off the table, 7 days is ok


    annoying ****...but i still wish floyd would just say fine 7 days, lets go

    I thought negotiations were supposed to be about give and take instead of one side wins?

    Personally, I don't think the blood testing is the real issue. It's basically May's only leverage. If he's smart, he'll pretend to stick to his guns about the blood testing. Team Pac won't want to move any further from 7 days, so they'll have to make a concession: the purse split.

    they are, and i though there was give and take the first time around


    floyd wanted no cut-off, pacquiao wanted 30 days

    floyd cut in in half, to 14 (that was a give) but that give was not enough (and pac remained firm on 30 days until the hatton blood test info came out in the press as 21 days)

    also, you have to look at the entire thing, not one aspect (purse split, gloves, ring, promo, extras [weight penalty, testing] etc.)


    you may be right though, about the $...we shall see

    This point is conveniently overlooked. USADA was hired by FLoyd to do the testing and by USADA standpoint Floyd is their client, hence their "boss". Neutrality is lost.


    I disagree. I think Pacquiao can do up to 3-4 days before the fight. I agree with you though that Floyd will stick to his guns - for good reasons if you follow my drift.*:hat

    Floyd is on vacation, doesn't have the urge and is a woman beater. Yeah, i'm acting just like a ***** that talks about Pacman.

    I haven't heard Pac, his father, or his uncle come out with some of the slanderous, racist bull**** that Mayweather and his father and uncles have come out with, and continue to come out with.

    Unproved allegations, lies and bull**** from every one of them, repeatedly.

    I'm no fan of Pac's manager or promoter either, but to come on here and say that Pac's full of ****, and Mayweather is being straight up and honest is a joke.

    Remember which side of the fence has multiple criminal convictions, beats women (multiple times) and threatens their own children with violence before you start accusing one side or another of being liars and dishonest.

    Neither person is a good boy. Difference between me and you is that I don't bring up what goes on in a prizefighter's career like it has any bearing on their business in prizefighting.

    Of course it is.

    Otherwise what's to stop a fighter being stopped halfway to the ring and tested?

    Random tests up until a certain date is still random.


    I agree with this. Title fights full stop shouldn't be at a catchweight IMO.

    What?

    That doesn't make sense.

    "what goes in a prizefighters career like it has any bearing on their business in prizefighting"

    Let me make it simple for you.

    Every single one of the Mayweathers has accused Pac, repeatedly of using PED's - with absolutely zero basis, and for the first time ever, asked for blood testing before the fight, purely aimed at Pac.

    The reason (apparently) this fight hasn't happened is over blood tests. Blood tests the Mayweather side asked for. Something they'd never, ever asked for before.

    Pac (or any other fighter) has the right to say no to that. Wlad has said no to blood tests in the past too.
