    What in the hell is the problem with a drug test in order to get a share of 100 mil or more....

    I don't think either guy really wants to fight each other, or Pacquiao is on some "if it happens, it happens" type ****, and FMJ just doesn't want it to happen...

    When has Pac ever said he wants a fight? He always says it's for the fans.
    I've caught him saying a couple of times, I just fight, I let my promoter choose my next fight.
    He always says the right thing.
    Personally, I don't think he wants the fight, I think he would fight for the fans, just like he said, cause he loves the stage, and so forth, but yeah dude seems content.
    I think both fighters, really no longer are passionate about making this fight happen.
    It's so much money, you would think they would be clamoring, but no.

    i think its a little more than obvious that mayweather doesnt want anything to do with Pac-man at the moment. As for why, i feel like he knows that he'll get that ass whooped thoroughly!

    by now, even his hardcore fans think he is not interested. time to swallow the bitter pill and accept the reality that floyd is indeed ducking pacquiao.

    It takes 2 fighters to make these tests happen, but one unfortunately is retired.

    NO. For Mayweather to start a drug controversy against a man who's known for being a class act and has never tested positive for anything, as if to say there is no way he can be so successful without cheating, is disrespectful and possibly indicative of fear and jealousy...fear of facing such an aggressive puncher who could possibly take his face off...and jealousy over the fact that Pacquiao has taken on fighters that he refused to fight (possibly out of fear of losing his '0') in Margarito, Clottey and Cotto. I think Mayweather's scheme is to EITHER: sit back and wait for Pacquiao to be beaten so he can say, "i'm undefeated and Pacquiao just lost to (whomever)! He can't even beat 'that guy' so why should I fight him?", as his scapegoat to avoid the danger of taking that fight (styles make fights so Pacman losing to anybody else has no bearing on and acts as no true indicator of the outcome of a fight between THEM. We can only assume and speculate, which is why they fight the fights. (i.e. the Ali/Foreman/Fr






    azier analogy)).....OR: to let Pacquiao build himself into a big enough star and create enough buzz and interest in THEIR fight to warrant an even larger paycheck for Floyd...which basically means that Floyd is trying to make money off another fighters' name, fame and/or accomplishments in some way, since, in the meantime, he's doing more fighting online, in the streets and in the courtroom than in the ring...which, in essence, can lend credit to the argument that he deserves LESS of the share of a megafight...especially against a class act like Pacquiao, who never badmouths his opponents, fights for his country, justice, peace and the end of poverty...while Floyd perpetuates violence, is hateful in speech, 'allegedly' hits women (this is the 2nd or 3rd stated case of it, this time witnessed by his own children AGAINST THEIR MOTHER), threatens to beat his kids if they 'snitch' on him, and assaults officers. And in the midst of it all, he has the gall to demand $100M FOR HIS SHARE of the purse! Tyson and Oscar






    were not only exciting to watch, action-packed and intriguing characters, but they were also the biggest PPV stars in the history of boxing! Oscar was a media darling, and Tyson, though bullish and intimidating, still had an appealing quality about him...and even THEY could have NEVER legitimately made such a demand! A purse of that size has never been approached in the sport. So not only is it a ridiculous purse demand, but he's totally undeserving of such a demand, especially considering his overall demeanor as of late. And the drug testing demand is just as ridiculous. Pacquiao is guilty until he proves himself innocent now? I thought you were innocent until proven guilty...? And if I was Pacquiao I wouldn't take the test either...not to hide guilt...but since when does an honorable person need to defend himself against unfounded accusations made by a criminal by buckling to the criminals demands? I'd have taken the same stance Pacquiao has. Mayweather, in my opinion, respects Pacquiao as a fighter and needs a bigger reward (payday) to match the risk of fighting such a dangerous puncher. I think Mayweather is scared and all the excuses, demands and ultimatums are his way to deflect attention off of himself.

    Im a *****, but I dont think Floyd wants to fight Pac. Who cares if Floyd is scared, I mean he got other things going in life for him other than boxing.

    How do you confuse "kick" with "kiss"?

    Anyway, he does want the fight. If Floyd is so scared, why hasn't Manny accepted full OSDT? Pull Mayweather's card if you dare.

    Biased poll.

    FMJ doesn't want to fight.
    Pac wants to fight, but is too lazy to chase it.
