    You're too ignorant and gullible. If 2 years ago Pac already agreed to Floyd's demand, he would have thought of another demand.. and another.. and another.

    Let's reverse what you said..

    Honestly too. We wouldn't even be HAVING this conversation if Floyd just fought Pacquiao as he had for his last 39 fights.

    Pacquiao, Mosley, Cotto .. and 40+ more all did it no problem, and we found out who won and who lost, and moved on. Yet we have a boxing fan civil war going on between Floyd and Pac just because Floyd wanted to bull$hit things up. :hey

    Boxing fans knew that Pacquiao had used blood testing as an excuse for the loss to Morales, so it's highly likely that Mayweather was aware of it too. What better way to get out of a fight than to make an excuse for a loss an essential? If a fighter loses in America due to a robbery, states he won't fight there again and then a future opponent demands they fight in America, there's a chance it won't happen.

    Floyd knew Pacquiao wouldn't accept, he knew that it'd be a perfect cover for his ducking and that's why he mentioned it. Pacquiao has no signs of drug use and has never failed a drug test.

    It was a blatant duck. A clever one, admittedly, but still a duck.

    But that's not how it works, reversing the situation.

    Pacquiao wanted to cheatproof the fight with a weight penalty
    Floyd wanted to cheatproof the fight with random tests

    Pac walked from the fight. Simple as.

    God, I am so tired of this ****! I am a fan of both guys (and probably one of the few who do not want to see this fight happen) but there is absolutely no reason why Pac should not have agreed to take the test in the first go round. I have yet to hear a real reason why that should not have been agreed to right away. I do not think Pac is on anything but I do not think Arum wanted the fight to happen because he can milk Manny by fighting inhouse fighters until he retires and make just as much money each fight (because he double dips).

    If there is a legit reason why Pac should not have taken the test the first time, why are ok with it this time around?

    it does not matter why PBF asks for more and better testing. anyone who knows anything about the history of boxing knows that it is during the "Biggest Fight" negotiations new and unprecedented demands are requested and they often change the face of the sport from that point on. Manny asked for the huge penalty for being overweight and PBF side agreed without blinking an eye.

    Like I said I am a fan of Pacs but it crystal clear which side is on the wrong side of history

    Fail...SD ain't coming back to this thread. Besides you have to make stupid, repetitive arguments that have nothing to do with the topic then think you've made a point. Then claim you've won or owned people, depending on which ALT you are using. Being SD is tough, it takes a lot of work to be that stupid...only SD has that natural talent.

    So why are you still talking about the first negotiations? Who cares why PAC has changed his mind about the testing, as long as he has. Now the fight can be made right? Oh that's right ther's that money split problem, what do you think of that?
