    Is it just me, or am I wrong in thinking Manny and Floyd are afraid of each other?

    I honestly am starting to believe they are both worried about their legacies being tarnished with a loss and are going to be ok with fighting a lesser opponent when this fight that needs to happen, doesnt happen.

    Maybe they're posturing, but at this point I think they're both thinking about their legacies more than anything. Nothing wrong with that but I hope thats not the reason for giving up.

    And now with pacman suing, Im sure the fight is doomed but i refuse to believe it yet. Someone needs to be a voice of reason to them somehow.

    But I thought floyd and co changed their stance on the drug testing so pac would accept? And so far instead of agreeing to the nevada drug testing he is suing everyone?

    And for the record I think pac is clean, and is just a freak of nature.

    nevada drug testing is still currently urine exclusive which floyd and GBP doens't like. GBP could make it a sincere offer if they would request them (NSAC) immediately to include blood testing.

    Who they have fought in the past has apparently been good enough for them to be in a positon fighting in a fight being called "the richest fight in history".

    Everything they have done, leads to this fight. The legacies they have created will be either be cemented or tarnished (albeit lightly) at the outcome of this fight.

    Floyd isn't afraid of Manny, per se. Floyd is afraid of losing his 0. Boxing is a business to him. Fighting Manny is a questionable business decision. Sure, he'll make a boat load of money, but I think he's worried about putting his future earnings in jeopardy should he lose to Manny.

    I think thats what I was getting at on floyds part. I know he loves that 0, and this is a legitimate risk in losing it.

    The money on the table no fighter could refuse, period

    true, but i'm ust saying that you can see in a fighters opponents the risk the take. who have taken the more riskier fight? who is more afraid of losing?


    nah, nevada didn't exactly agreed or disagreed in it. its just that their current protocol do not include blood testing. that's why floyd and GBP wants USADA. pac refuses USADA coz it doesn't guarantee that you would not be tested within days of a fight. shaefer apparently withdraws their USADA demand but has to request Nevada commision to amend their protocol on drig testing.

    Yea, I catch your drift on that. Agreed.



    Got you. I guess i just read to many things and didnt realize he just needs to make the request to nevada.

    yes schaefer should now request it to NSAC in order for their demands to push through or just fight pac with the regular and usual NSAC protocol. but things had gotten a little (or you could say more) complicated when pac was irked by this continuous press releases from GBP and floyd in the media and had to file a lawsuit. i really don't know how this would affect future negotiations.
