Come on, it's the curiosity factor, you can just see Ricky setting up the publicity campaign can't yer what with him eye-ball 2 eye-ball with Floyd & saying if you hurt my little bro i'll sort you out talk about WWF or what ever passes for wrestling hype these days, Ricky will make sure it works & sells to the masses + we are starved of boxing over here, you'll have Ricky there every step of the way beating the drum, Matthew is just the afterbirth, nice earner for "Our Kid" ect, Floyd's the villian & Ricky the plucky little brit underdog, it'll sell & sell big time once they get to work on it. They've got rid of Pacman now with those disgracefull sladerous accusations who has unfortunetly fallen into the trap set for him by GBP/Mayweather so agian enabling Floyd to wriggle away again from a serious risky confrontation & we all know floyd's track record on this as he bailed out of the DLH re-match. Floyd does not give a flying **** about what he's thought of stateside as he knows he's hated & as we keep hearing from him it's all about max reward & min risk so life will move on & mayweather will carry on earning big $$$$$$$$$$ from anyone & everyone who wants to see him beat & with GBP steering the ship he'll not have to much bother in earning regular top $$$$ in being able too cherry picking his opponants still. You've got too remember that Floyd has always said that "He call's the shots regardless" hence the bail out from the pacquiao fight, you've just got to go back to floyds past in stating he'd never deal with Arum & the fact that schaffer cancelled the trip to Dallas at the last second, Arum knew what was going to happen thats why he said i'am out of this. There is a bigger game afoot & the boxing fan can go **** himself as far as GBP are concerned, just look at GBP fight ticket prices:bbb it's all about the power play:deal
Its about principle, why should Manny take such an extreme drugs test when no other fighter has to. Floyd doesn't want to fight Pacquiao, he asks for him to take a drugs test, Oscar didn't ask him to do so, Hatton didn't and neither did Cotto, so why does Floyd think he has to ask for such an extreme test? Because he doesn't want the fight, if Manny took the test then Floyd would probably avoid the fight in another way, by making some other excuse. Probably reverting to the money split, asking for a 60-40 split.
Didn't negatively affect him for the Hatton fight though did it? Watch 24/7 to see the blood test that Manny wants to deny ever happened.
or maybe floyd agreed because he knew he would come in over 147 because if im not wrong then as long as you make weight at the weigh in it doesnt matter how much you put on between that time and the fight? correct me if im wrong that why floyd came into the ODH fight at 150 and Oscar was 165
I don't see why many ppl here are making a big deal of the £10mil per lb over. Unless FM is intending to come in overweight....again! He won't disrespect his opponent like he did JMM. He will come in at 147 so it's a non issue. I still don't se what's wrong with having the test directly after the fight. If no peds are found, it means no peds during the fight. They both need to meet in the middle. Reading the same forums everyday is gettin annoying. Lookin forward to the Berto fight, so we can chat about something else lol
but they are trying to make sure there's no PED's during training camp which is most important thats why they said random test
