    Don't bring up status quo and commission. As the status quo was all fighters are allowed to weigh up to 147 pds and 154 pds. Yet Manny was willing to go away from the status quo when he was looking to employ a level playing field.

    Beside drug testing isnt' even an issue according to Pac. Its something that both fighters would have to go through and shouldn't really benifit either figthter. There is no way Mayweather could see testing as benifiting him for the fight unless Pac was really doing steroids. If Pac isn't doing steroids then the drug testing really shouldn't have an effect on either fighter. It shouldn't even be considerd a concession since both fighters have to go through it.

    Every concession to a demand matters in a negotiation.

    Fact is he agreed to every demand Manny made, Manny couldn't/wouldn't concede to his 1 demand, which is OSDT. Fact is you know it is the truth and undeniable.

    Mayweather even tried to initially negotiate and give Pac a cutoff date, which Pac refused, since then he has been consistant full OSDT.

    Tell me why is it that Shane and Vic can take the test but it is out of the question for Manny? :lol:

    Is Manny still afraid of needle? Does the loss of blood weaken him? Which excuse for not taking a test is being used this week?:rofl:rofl

    The only person stoping the fight with Floyd is Manny and his team, all they have to do is agree to full OSDT and the fight is on.

    why is it this became an issue until people demanded he fight pac , after seeing him destroy guys like cotto and margarito who mayweather wouldnt fight.....?
    what about the other 40 opponents he has where he hasnt requested this special floyd mayweather request test? its a smoke screen because hes a *****...... the dude was a former flyweight...if floyd is so great, he would be saying **** like " i will kick your ass whether you take steroids or not, just come in at the agreed upon weight"
    a real "g" would say that....not cry like a ***** with a smoke screen test

    how was what i said wrong? the current system does not employ osdt and it was floyd who requested for that. so when you consider it from that perspective, pac is the one giving way to a request albeit only up to a degree.

    your sample does not refute that and is a different case altogether. manny fought cotto at 145 lbs.. it was an agreed weight for both. as it was a deviation from the allowed limit of 147, yes pac did have that as a request. nothing about that refutes what i initially said. it's far off.

    like i always say, let pac finish with his business first. then both pac and floyd can talk. right now, all talks about the previous failed ones are only for blaming.

    Fact is I addressed every one of those "demands" and you had no counterpoint. Troll

    You didn't address the one that mattered, your words, LOL.

    Tell me why after Floyd conceded to every Manny demand, that Manny could not concede to taking a OSDT?

    Why.

    I just don't see the logic of Mayweather & Pacquiao facing anyone else at this point in their careers, as this fight deal could easily turn into a two fight potential matchup with a rematch being as awaited or more than the first encounter.

    Considering they most likely won't fight past 2013 anyways, there's no point looking elsewhere.

    In regards to the fight, there's no way Mayweather is an easy task based on style. Mayweather adapts like none other in a ring and you can't teach that, a guy has it in him or doesn't...

    If Pacquiao wins against Marquez, I seriously hope that Merchant makes him answer straight forward... Do you agree to full blood and urine unlimited testing up to the fight ? Yes or No ? If Pacquiao mumbles or gives a bull**** answer, then Merchant needs to insist again. YES or NO ?

    Lastly, Arum taking 20 %, 30% or even 50% of Pacman's purse shouldn't be of any concern to Mayweather. It changes nothing in his life what so ever... PBF will still collect his agreed share of the total pot. Last time, it was 50% of all revenues. That should be all he cares about !

    It was to get in his head and remind him of the Morales loss, which in fact succeeded in a way

    Manny conceded to every Floyd demand as well, including the most important one, purse. Floyd just went overboard and asked for something extra with no basis behind it.

    Tell me why even though Manny conceded to all of Floyds demands, did he keep asking for things without any history or logical basis behind it?

    Pac already agrees to OSDT. From what cave have you been hiding? Right, floyd's closet

    IF Kellerman is probably doing the fight Kellerman would definitely ask Pac about the testing.

    Tell me, why is it that Shane and Marquez did not ask OSDT against Pacquiao ?

    Is Floyd still afraid of Pacquiao ? Does the lack of bigger balls weaken him ?:rofl:rofl:rofl

    No he hasn't he has not conceded to full OSDT, so you are factually wrong. The OSDT was always on the table.

    No Pac doesn't. They are still talking about cutoff dates and I believe old man Bob even said stupid **** like he can't trust the USADA he wants WADA, which doesn't even administer tests. :lol:

    So again tell me why Manny can't agree to full OSDT and get the fight going.
