    This is the fight Floyd came back for. And not getting this deal done (no matter who's at fault) is a LOSS FOR FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. for several reasons.

    1. Limited amount of options. Berto vs Mosley are fighting each other, Margarito is suspended and Cotto is pretty much done. Who at 147lbs or 154lbs can you fight and expect any real money from PPV???

    2. You can't go "BACKWARDS". Pacquiao can fight Top Jr. Welters and get away with it. If Floyd fought Timothy Bradley...The critics, gurus of boxing would claim that he's fighting another "SMALLER FIGHTER"...Not the mentioned what the ESB Boxing Forums would say.

    3. Mosley, Berto, Bradley, Malignaggi, Hatton fail miserably in comparison to the prestige, Legacy and $$$$$$ from the Pacquiao fight.

    Personally...I blame Bob Arum for F***ing UP this fight. But Floyd didn't do himself any favors. And for the record, I honestly believe Floyd couldn't care less if Pacquiao is "Using". I think Floyd just wanted to expose him....IF HE'S USING???

    Ricky Hatton $$$ in English stadium is actually probably not too far off the $$$

    Wouldn't blame Floyd for this the 14 day compromise seemed fair...

    As for big fight options, yes you are right hes limited

    Is this post a joke? Manny is the one who lost. Anyone with half a brain sees the games Arum is playing.

    Then you ask yourself why would Manny walk away from all that money with a 14 day testing cut off? The logical conclusion is that he is juicing. Then you see the next fight, an in camp fighter? WTF? Manny is juicing.

    Sure FMJ has limited options, but that has nothing to do with him and everything to do with Arum. He can fight the winner of Berto/Mosely. He can fight PW, if PW can make 147. He can then clean up anyone else at WW that wants it. Unlike Pac, he won his belt legit without catchweights.

    Et tu Darryl? Et tu? :-(

    The way I took it is, Floyd is the more affected on this fiasco financially and legacy wise than Manny does.

    I dont blame Floyd here, the man is simply asking for this fight to be done right, like it or not this fight has much more at stake than any fight in recent history that I can think of, with that said Manny should have agreed to the testing, its not even Arums fault, more so its Roach's fault if any.

    Hey...Slow your horses. I am a Floyd Fan...TO THE FULLEST!!!

    But in AMERICA...There is REALITY AND PERCEPTION!!!! And both are based on POPULARITY!!!!

    Pacquiao is placed on this "Mythical Mantle" as being the Best!!! And if Floyd fights anyone other than Pacquiao...It will be "PERCEIVED" that he is fighting a lesser fighter...No-Matter who it is!!!!

    This is what we have heard from "Team Pacquiao"

    After the Cotto fight: Freddie Roach..."we need more time to prepare for Mayweather's style"

    One month ago: Freddie Roach..."We test anytime, anywhere"

    11 days ago: Bob Arum..."We want Malignaggi"

    8 days ago: Bob Arum..."We'll probably fight Yuri Foreman"

    3 days: Team Pacquiao..."We don't want blood testing done with 5 days before the fight"

    And eventually we all come to learn that INDEED, TEAM MAYWEATHER AND BOB ARUM CONFIRMS THAT A 14 DAY CUT-OFF BEFORE THE FIGHT WAS PROPOSED!!! Sound fair to me!!!

    Yet in the end...(remember this is America...where POPULARITY RULES)...Ask anyone...Who fault is it?....FLOYD MAYWEATHER!!!

    Pacquiao has better options..he can still fight Maidana, Ortiz, Bradley..even people think Clottey is a great fight!!!

    No-matter who Floyd fights...It will defeat the purpose of coming back. Because he wanted, we wanted, THE WORLD WANTED MAYWEATHER VS PACQUIAO!!!!

    100 x 100% respect to you mate:deal

    Believe or not i used to be a massive Floyd fan & in reality i still am as i've always marvelled at his awesome boxing skills but unfortunatly his personality has now swayed me into the negative as enough is enough:bart

    As these pointless shenanighans have now finnaly like alot of other boxing fans finally worn us out & now i see all the points that his detractors have made about him come true more's the pity.

    When you've got the fight that is the biggest natural since Hagler/Hearns & the richest in history just get on with it, floyds a prize fighter who fights for pay so just go grab the $40million goody bag & as floyd keeps telling us "Legacy don't pay the bills":smoke

    And Arum didn't give it to us. It wasn't FMJ's fault. He can want all day. It takes two fighters to fight.

    Anyway as far as popularity goes, did you see FNF? Teddy Atlas basically ripped Manny up. Everyone is asking about the 14 days. It is obvious who doesn't want to fight. Mayweather is probably staying in camp, but once it is official that the fight is off I am sure he will be doing interviews with all of the media.

    If anyone lost... Manny did. That is why he is back to fighting guys in his own camp who won't ask for drug testing.

    Nobody respects you sheep. Go back to your herd of *******s.

    Manny is dirty. You are dirty too, but you are a sheep and we expect sheep to be dirty.
