    Mayweather doesn't want Pacquiao! He'll only take a fight he knows he will win thats why he isn't a true champion

    I don't really see why Mayweather fighting once a year is killing boxing he is not different to the rest. 1 in 10 elite fighters fight more than twice a year now anyway.

    Name me a fighter and I or someone else will be able to tell you a point where they ducked someone.

    Lets remember before we call Floyd a money grabber he turned down a guarenteed $30million to fight DLH in a rematch at Welterweight which would have been an easy easy fight.

    Mayweather is trying to make the fight right now. Arum is stopping it.

    When it comes to the drug testing. That was in the orgional contract draft when negotiations first started. Mayweather never changed his stance on it, Pacquiaos team did.

    Arum is stopping it i agree, but Mayweather isn't trying to make the fight releasing one statement saying we want the fight doesn't mean they are trying to make it. Pacquiao has agreed to the drug testing now Mayweather is requesting ridicolous money for the fight. He has ducked people before and he is ducking now

    Floyds prison sentence means the next few days will be a fun time to get on the general forum and do a bit of trolling.
     
  7. The drug testing demands are ridiculous anyway, that I've consistently maintained.

    By being so ridiculous Floyd made himself look like a coward to all bar his loyal, rabid faithful and paid Pacquiao the biggest back handed compliment possible.

    It's a pointless fight now anyway, the time frame has lapsed. Floyd watched Pacquiao shred Cotto and decided not to bother. He's since had the best part of two years off, beaten up a joker and Pac has slipped a bit in the meantime.

    Floyd is such a ****ing ****. It annoys me that he is the best fighter in the world but like G Man, you've got to judge them on their ring work.

    Pacquiao and Roach have said for a while now that they don't mind taking any tests.

    And Floyd's not killing boxing at all. If you look beyond the whole Floyd/Pac bollocks there's loads of great fights and fighters. It's not as if Floyd and Pac are propping the sport on, boxing doesn't even need them.

    JMM, Pac and Floyd may soon leave and like Jones, DLH, Tito etc finally being finished they too will be replaced with the likes of Ward and Donaire.
