    Dude Mayweather became the money man in 2007 after Hoya and Cotto before that he was just a guy who would kick your ass and embarrass you, hell even after he became the money man...didn't a high profile fighter in Pacquiao need a stadium built and had a cut that wouldn't heal and needed cut offs for drug test the first few times Mayweather tried to fight him. Mayweather earned his way to being the money man by beating Champ.

    The crazy thing is we live in an era where things are recorded and documented for the last damn near century so all this information is very easy to find yet people still spew this non sense. I get that once Mayweather went from Pretty boy Floyd to Money May he rubbed people the wrong way but the discredit this man gets is ridiculous

    Are you serious man? Those are made up claims, not a single bit of that was verified.

    What claims are made up I just posted a video of Mosley having a toothache and coming up with reasons not to fight..the Pacquiao situation are DIRECT QUOTES FROM his boss you cant fabricate a direct quote.

    That's not him avoiding the fight, he just said he didn't know if he could make it immediately and would do it when he can. A post fight interview is not a good measure of intent.

    Pacquiao wanted a slightly longer cutoff for blood tests which take time to recover from. Do you not realise that as the smaller man Pac would be at more of a disadvantage getting blood tests that close to a fight?

    So what your saying is that even though you have a video of Mosley in mid 2000's avoiding a fight and Mayweather calling him out and commentators acknowledging that they wouldn't fight him and how it was not smart. But you still feel Mayweather somehow avoided them until they were old? God bless you bruh I'm done here.

    Pacquiao is shorter not smaller Manny had been coming into the ring at 126 the same size as Floyd at 140/47.. and no you dont need 21 days to recover from a drug test you sound goofy.

    Having a loose tooth after a fight and saying I'm not sure I'll sign a contract next week but will do so as soon as I can is avoiding the fight? Mosley had his downfall as it were from failing a drugs test. I don't think he was that great if he was pumped full of drugs and was also coming off of two losses to Forrest at the time and also lost to Winky Wright twice come to think of it. What did he have to lose at that point fighting Floyd? Didn't flotd call out loads of guys and not follow through for years just so he could generate hype around himself? Mosley's prime had ended by 03/04 so I don't see how that's the right time frame to have been asking for that fight. Maybe it should have happened when he was at lightweight or welterweight even, like most people thought it should have.

    Not from a drug test, from a blood test. In a sport where the amount of haemoglobin you have is paramount to your stamina levels you need the most you can get. It takes time to recuperate the blood taken for blood tests and constant blood testing will drain you. A urine test is suitable. Floyd wanted it up until 14 days before the fight, Pac wanted it until 24 days. Red blood cells take 4 to 6 weeks to replace completely you mongo so that testing would've been disadvantageous no matter what. Mayweather had a load of contractual stipulations to limit his opponents, hence why they turned him down.

    Pac is also definitely smaller and has a more exerting style on top of that. Urine tests are good enough that close to a fight, blood tests are good for trying to find drugs used months previously, not days. Mr I use an IV clearly had it in mind to replenish himself that way after blood testing. Which would've been a clever ploy had it been allowed.

    I enjoy his banter at times to a degree.
    Anyway you don’t have to see a fighter LIVE to rank him above others as that is silly due to the average age on here is under 40:BangHead:

    No but the difference is when you Know a fighter personally like Ive known Tony since 1999 & ellerbe claims he knows more about him. I just treat them as trolls
