    Have you even been paying attention? There's been recent documented footage where he said he'll agree to real random testing.

    Get it through your thick skull that the only thing that matters when it comes to negotiations is how much money you bring in. No one cares if the philipines love you, how nice you are to your family members, etc. This isn't a morality competition. Prizefighting is a business.

    Did dude just say if Pac/Margo sells more than Mayweather/Mosley? Wow... I wanna see this. I know they have loyal fans but I'm still not sold on a solid million... Guess only time will tell.

    You do realize the only reason Floyd came back to boxing was due to money problems. He lost a grip investing with a shady figure that took almost all of his paper and he was FORCED to come out of retirement. Floyd has always been unfairly labeled a "DUCKER"....but this is the first time he has without a doubt DUCKED a fighter. It's nothing that we are use to seeing from Floyd. So when it's this clear that he is avoiding Manny people call it what it looks like.

    I don't think anyone sane that knows what boxing is about would deny Mayweather is special in the ring. Sadly though, you have to take on all comers. Lately, Mayweather has been acting like boxing is part-time and fans of the sport don't appreciate that, not to forget his meaningless demands which never end. It's boxing, just make fights and shut people up, that's how it works. I'd like to see him fight Pacquiao or anyone worth fighting soon, only that way he will be able to silence critics. Doing nothing and talking down on fighters he might never fight is not trash talking, it's just disrespectful to the sport especially when the fighter he's talking down on is the P4P#1 fighter. As far as getting credit is concerned I think he knows as all others know he won't get credit for beating anyone. If he beats Pac he gets no credit, if he beats P.Williams/Martinez winner he gets no credit and so on, this is old news, in the long run he will get credit as all other fighters did.

    If he came back because of money problems he would be more active. The Pacquiao fight is the best example of money, that fight is pure GOLD when it comes to money yet he's not making it.

    That was 3 months ago. For one, I don't think arum will initiate another negotiation with a proven coward who is just a waste of time. If ever a negotiation will start, Floyd's team will have to come to Arum. On their knees. :yep:yep

    What Leon said wasn't no lie. Boxing is a business and it's all about the money. If Manny/Margo does less than a million ppv buys then Floyd still has the edge for the lion share. Numbers are the cold hard facts in this game so really for your response to make any sense Manny is going to have to literary put his "money" where his mouth is.

    arum might not want to, but emmanuel will. You have to understand that emmanuel is a people pleaser.

    :huh He made almost $30 million in one fight with Shane and anther $20 for JMM. Floyd cleared up his financial woes in one year by fighting two fighters. Floyd could have made $50-$60 Mill in one fight if he came out of retirement and faced PAC.
