Do we need anymore proof that Manny was scared of fighting Floyd?

    Come on man! Dont give up that easy! Those *******s are just talking **** to get more media attention. All of this back and forth is to help build up a fight down the road...at least thats what im telling myself.

    Or his ego prevented him from just following Mayweather's ridiculous demand.

    To every problem that has to be a root....and the root of this fight collapsing stems from Floyd, his allegations and his demands. Had Floyd proceeded in the exact same manner he has 40 times before we'd have a fight ladies and gentlemen.:good

    Pac did something he had never done in negotiations, but Floyd agreed.

    So it really isn't that simple.

    Oversimplifying things doesn't help.


    It's just not that easy. Pac made unprecedented demands, and Floyd agreed to them. So that logic is.. well.. torpedoed.:good

    where did you get this news? Team Pac NEVER agreed to the 14 days compromise

    they only agreed to the 24 days before the fight blood testing.

    No. I don't recall ever reading where they agreed to this either...


    But I do recall Roach saying that they would be OK with 5 days...:huh

    We all know that Manny knows he cant beat Floyd hence why he walked... but this has been done to death so just let it slide.

    Floyd himself has been on record numerous times about how he'd embarrass Manny...and how Manny is not on his level and that he'd be more than happy to end the hype surrounding PAC. He went as far as to say all Manny had to do was say his name and the fight was a good as done??:roll:

    If he was so confident like he said....and was so eager to mix it up with Manny so that he could "take advantage" of his easiest foe which would also offer him his largest Payday...."WHY"....Why accuse him about roids or peds which didn't JUST have the POTENTIAL to kill the fight...IT DID KILL the fight.

    Lance, if Cotto refused to fight at Pac's demanded catchweight and the negotiations fell apart, would you be blaming Pac for "finding a way out and taking it" of that fight? After all, Cotto WAS the WW (147lb) champion AND Pacman had already fought Oscar at 147lbs. So would you think if Cotto refused, that Pac was just looking for a way out of the fight?

    If you can't see the parallels, then you are a ****ing idiot. with all due respect :deal

    Both had major parts in fukkin dis fight up....Floyd for askin and Pac simply played into his hands by bowing out from a blood test which he is accustom to taking anyway as we have seen twice now.

    And i understand that some say well pac doesnt want to give into Floyd thats fine...but as a warrior as some or all have labeled him and top ten ATG as some have praised him....i would think that you would want to just whoop the mans ass that apparently made up false statements and oh yea you and your camp said at one point Floyd was the easier fight and that Pac would KO Floyd let alone just win.

    You can say he made a stand i guess but he could make MORE of a statement by just whooping Floyd's ass like he and his team say they can...there is nothing but PLUS side in taking this fight....even if he loses.

    I dont know i understand the arguments from Pac fans but i think its just a terrible choice.

    Cotto was the WW champion and Pac was the JrWW champion. Why would Pac be the one looking for a way out if he had accepted to move up to a catchweight and Cotto had refused to move down to a catchweight?
