    AssPlayOK and Scar are pretty passionate about the whole testing thing.

    Exactly what I've been saying for years.

    He isn't fighting for money, that's obvious.

    Because unlike most people, I don't forget how things were back in 2010 when Mayweather first started this fiasco. Mayweather was coming off a two year retirement and a win over Marquez while Pacquiao was shocking the world with his performances at Jr. Welterweight and Welterweight. Pacquiao's PPV numbers were hardly pitiful as well for him to accept Mayweather's demands. To make it simple, Pacquiao was in the driver's seat back then with a record that backs it up. All Mayweather did in his return from 2009-2010 was fight Marquez and Mosley while Pacquiao went through DLH, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey and Margarito all in three different weight classes.

    Was there any official contract sent?, all we knew about was a phone-call where Mayweather demanded blood testing and more money. The testing was finally accepted yet more money was over the top. Both deserved 50/50 at that point.

    So which is it? They negotiated in 2009, not 2010 by the way so Pac hadn't fought Clottey or Margarito yet, nice try. :deal

    Floyd can't make demands
    No one ever asked for testing before (which you got exposed on)
    Pac should only be allowed to make up clauses
    Blood testing weakens fighters

    ? So which are you actually going with here? You're all over the place.

    TR sent a contract to Ellerbe with Pac's demands, who looked it over and agreed with the stipulation that they both do random testing during camp.

    Sent it to TR, and TR made every excuse in the book to hinder the fight, even the mediator outed Arum after they wouldn't accept the 14 day cutoff.

    yeah I remember things back then too. Both fighters were somewhat equal draws. Floyd wanted to fight in May, wanted 10 oz gloves, a bigger split and drug testing.

    Floyd agreed to fight in March because Pac had to run for congress. Floyd agreed to the penalty, he agreed to come down off the bigger share and he agreed to 8 oz gloves. Only thing Floyd wanted was FULL random blood and urine test.
    Floyd even compromised on that and HE OFFERED A 14 DAY CUTOFF.

    Floyd compromised on every single demand that he wanted. :verysad You also forget, IT WAS MAYWEATHER'S TEAM WHO CONTECTED PACQUIAO FIRST (click).

    That mediator was also a retired federal judge with a load of credibility in both camps.

    How many Bob Arum videos do people need to see? Arum never intended on making the fight. The negotiation was used as a marketing ploy, that's it. The real negotiation was going on with Joshua Clottey while Arum and Pacquiao put up the smoke and mirrors in front of the media about fighting Mayweather.

    How am I all over the place?, I made my point clear based on the actual events. Pacquiao was P4P#1 and officially regarded globally as the #1 fighter for his activity in the ring and was supposed to be in the driver's seat. They didn't negotiate in 2009, unless you consider media pressure and fan demands as official negotiations. How the hell did they negotiate in 2009 when Pacquiao was already scheduled and prepared to fight Cotto in November of 2009? Mayweather fought in May of 2010 and took off all the way to September 2011. Surely you would remember the vacation after the Mosley fight. I didn't get exposed on **** so spare me that nonsense, did anyone request the same random blood and urine testing that Mayweather did BEFORE HE REQUESTED IT?, the answer is NO. I never said Pacquiao should be allowed to make the clauses, did he make any similar to Mayweather's for me to suggest that? I never said blood testing weakens or strengthens fighters so please don't put words in my mouth.
