    No one said that OSDT was the ONLY reason the fight didnt happen, you are confusing yourself! So the sentance you claim you said (which you clearly did not say) is STILL incorrect!

    I've already stated that it has gotten very messy now and its hard to really decipher what everyones intent is, does PBF want the fight? I think so, however Im not 100% sure. Is Manny a clean boxer? Again I think so but Im much less than 100% sure.

    $100M is a silly point again the source is Arum, the same guy who once said Mayweather is the best boxer since Ali but now claims he is a coward, the same guy who once claimed De La Hoya was bright, good looking, intelligent and now he is stupid, a cheat and whatever else!

    If you think Arum says anything other than what suits his agenda best on THAT day you are very very naive!

    As for the vacation well we will have to see what happens he hasnt been terrible active for the last 6 years nothing new here really, so why all of a sudden would it be to avoid pac man?

    Either way we are drifting way off topic.......and all your insults are hurting my feelings LOL!

    Funny thing is, every chance Pacquiao fans have called me a ***** at any chance they have, whereas I havent called any of you *******s.

    The fact is Im a Pacquiao fan ( I just dont agree / understand his stance of the testing ) I havent said anything negative but you are so insecure about your idol that as soon as someone questions him you get all emotional and try to defend him by attacking me!

    You obviously like Pac man WAY more than I like Floyd, congrats hope you win a medal :lol:

    So your either 100% sure or not at all.

    Regarding $100M... Read Rogers recent interviews, Floyd even turned down $50M minimum offer.

    Seriously, I didn't insult you personally. :thumbsup

    As for your contention that everything bad that had been said or reported about Floyd is somehow Arum's machinations, it simply smacks of naivete.

    The $100M demand was corroborated by Roger Mayweather.
    The South Africa offer to fight was corroborated by Jeff Mayweather and Mike Koncz.
    The $100M demand was also corroborated by Floyd himself in a radio interview, where he stated that he could get $100M for one fight since he is on that level.

    It boggles the mind, at a time when he stood to earn the highest purse in his lifetime, against a one-dimensional fighter who is an easy night's work, a victory of whom would have cemented his claim of being an ATG and the GOAT, that Floyd would somehow lose interest in doing what he does best and that he would rather accept the accusations of cowardice being hurled against him by mainstream media and the majority of boxing fans and run the risk of destroying his hard-earned legacy.

    Dude, there is nothing hard to decipher about all of these.

    OK we have got over the insults - thanks :)

    Again I didnt say everything that is bad is started by Arum, PBF manages to get himself in enough sh1t all on his own BUT Arum has been responsibile for alot lately! No amount of Naievity is ignoring that fact!

    I know what you are refering to regarding Roger, I think he was speaking rather more generally than "yes Floyd was offered $100M to fight Manny and yes he turned it down" he ws merely expressing the sentiment that PBF can generate $100M. Rather than he was offered that specific amount

    Remember in all the drug teting debacle Roer has been the only one who consistantly said "Manny dont want to a $100M drug test" no one else said that Floyd used the figure of $50M or $50M and people were making fun of Roger (usual crack head jokes) saying he lost his mind when he was saying the figure of $100M

    I remember the original video where Arum said do you know how much he wanted and the reporter plucked $100M out of the air and Arum then agreed, had the reporter said $80M I think Arum would have agreed, imo Arum just wants to make Mayweather look bad whatever the reason but you know I could be wrong.

    No one believes Pac man is one "dimensional" or "easy" work Money is just chatting sh1t, yea he may well be able to beat him but it wont be easy. In addition I think he has genuine concerns that Pac is on something and thats another reason he asked for the testing!

    No matter if PBF beats Manny he would NOT be the GOAT, not that there is such a thing but he will always have detractors and I doubt anyone can surpass Ali anyway - he meant too much to too many people, not to mention the type of adversity he had to overcome!

    Plus their are other fighters like S.R.R who have a great claim at GOATness

    boxers don't duck fights because of fear except in jack johnson's case, regular people do, boxers like mw and manny base everything on money. most of the fighters that tyson fought you could tell were afraid before they tasted his power but fought anyway because thats what they do. this jaw jacking keeps things interesting for the ones that are afraid and all they do is jaw jack.

    Actually Floyd himself told that the testing was the only hindrance to the fight being made. "He takes the tests, we have a fight".

    And Floyd's uncle, came directly from his mouth. Until then no one in Floyd's camp denied that or even went against that.

    youre whole argument is based on assumptions only someone looking to excuse floyd would make. pretending floyd is not responsible for his actions because arum is a snake. pretending roger is speaking figuratively instead of taking him at his word (this one is funny because in one paragraph you say how he just pulled the figure out of his ass and in the next paragraph you tell us how he has consistently been using this fugure for a while), you ignore what arum says to tell us what he really means as if you have some insight that we dont into his mind, you ignore what floyd himself says because, again, you know more about what floyd thinks than floyd does.
    this a very elaborate web of lies weaved by everybody saying the opposite of what they mean and you are the only one with the ability to see what the truth is behind the lies they are all telling. i wonder if this uncanny ability also allows you to see how your argument looks to the average reader?

    Ofcourse you are entitled to your opinion, my stance is fairly objective I dont think Floyd is an angel nor do I think he is the devil......No one can know much for fact unless you are directly involved in the negoatiations so to say I shouldnt make any assuptions is an interesting take!

    I dont agree on the $100M offer as it appears to have come from Arum's mouth which has spawned more lies than Lucifer himself lol!

    I also said Arum pulled the figure out of his arse NOT Roger, revisit the video in question and see if I am wrong.

    I dont follow everything that goes on with this story as most of the time its hear say. rather than fact so I could be wrong, in time we will see.....

    i can relate to your position, i have favorite fighters also. there comes a point where you have to take all the obvious clues and decide what the concrete evidence says about whats really going on. these arent isolated instances we are disscussing here. these are patterns of behaviour common in many people and they arent that hard to decipher if you have experience dealing with them. dont make these guys out to be more than they appear, they are what they do not what they say. just like everybody else.
    you said roger was speaking generally about the 100m and not specifically. i took this as a claim that he pulled this number out his ass. the next paragraph you tell us how roger is the only one who has consistently stuck to the 100m figure. is this a contradiction or am i not reading enough into your statements to uncover what you really mean?

    I'Ve been reading the writing on the wall & it clearly says no OSDT, no fight!!
    Waste of time to argue with these ppl. They take pacquiao's and specially Arum's word as their gospell.. They rely on their speculation as truth and then want to make Floyd look bad when in fact he's playing with them... I mean, just look @ their excuses: Floyd on vacation, no urge to fight.... so who gives a **** , show him the money and the real willingness to take the OSDT's (not a funky youtube video) & I'm pretty sure the fight will be on.. and again, as always, II'm not a Mayweather fan, actually far from that.
