    Thats generally what happens when a fight is signed hence why Manny refused to sign the contract! 50/50, 14 day cutoff....an offer don't get no better than that yet he went and fought Clottey for way less money!

    Why are you lying?

    Manny agreed to OSDT but he wanted a cut off.

    He wanted a window due to what had happened with Morales in 2005. As far as I know, those 2005 articles are still online. And that was 4-5 years before anyone mentioned a potential Floyd-Manny fight.

    Tell it how it went down without either lying/exaggerating or leaving out specific details.

    Considering that there was no evidence of any wrongdoing, and that Manny had agreed to be randomly urine tested up to the day of the fight and had agreed to an immediate after fight blood test, then there shouldn't have been an issue.

    Do you really think Manny was going to cheat for 2 weeks out of a 8-10 week camp?

    If Floyd had've thought so, he wouldn't have given him any cut off days.

    In the end, two huge egos tried to have the last say.

    No, it didn't take Manny 2 years later to agree.

    Why do you keep ignoring the fact that when Manny did agree, Floyd did not jump up and down with excitement then tried to make the fight.

    You're clinging on to Manny supposedly running from testing, when it was never solely about the testing.

    Who has Mayweather fought that makes you think he would take a challenge like Prime Lacquiao?

    The agreement he agreed to in 2015 wasn't anywhere near as good as the one that was offered in 2010.....you do get that right....but he agreed to basically the same deal but worse ie..no 14 day cut off no 50/50.....:blood

    Not to mention the same test he balked at he has asked other fighters to take.....:blood

    Wake up!

    Even if Manny had agreed to the 14 days, something else would have arisen.

    Why do I think that? Again, history has proven it.

    How many more times?

    Manny agreed to everything, then Floyd said he wanted the ENTIRE PPV revenue.

    Stop being biased and defensive of your hero.

    The fight took over 5 years to happen.

    Also, you only ever look from one perspective. Has it ever occurred to you, that Floyd could have accepted Manny's request and prevented him from going on to fight Joshua Clottey? All I see, is:"Manny walked away from negotiations" Well guess what? Floyd let him. What if everything was vice versa? Would you really be saying that Floyd ran from testing? I don't think so.

    I'm sure you're aware that an awful lot happened during 2010-2015.

    It's easy to look back in hindsight.

    Floyd had already signed the 50/50, 14 day contract, the only thing that came up was Manny running to Clottey in Dallas!

    Man, get in the real world.

    Nothing official had been signed.

    What about the PPV split?

    If you're so certain the fight would definitely have happened had Manny have accepted the 14 days back in 2010, then explain why the fight didn't happen when he agreed to it the following year?

    Why couldn't Floyd have agreed to the 24 days or tried to compromise?

    Again, if he really thought that Manny was going to cheat in the window, he'd never have offered one in the first place.

    Manny agreed to be randomly tested for 6/7 weeks out of 9/10, with an immediate after fight test.

    That should have been sufficient.

    Did floyd say some things like 40 mil flat...no ppv? Sure....but he was taunting pac.....he was telling him that they weren't even anymore and that floyd was the man making the deal ....and u know why he was taunting pac?

    Because he was tired of being jerked around by arums games for years


    The cuts....the stadiums ...the tests...the fake countdown clocks on his website to deals that didn't exist

    People forget that when they were supposedly negotiating the first time that was all Flyd was focused on....somehow magically pac had Clottey fight ready to go at a moments notice...., which was his plan the whole time...when pac did that floyd was left with nothing

    So much that haymon had to have Berto back out of his signed fight with Shane so that floyd could have him instead....cause floyd was left without a viable fight at the time and needed Shane ....

    People forget about that...they used the Haiti earthquake as an excuse....but if that hadn't happen there would have been an injury....Pierre Garcon was with the colts at the time and he still played in the superbowl.....haymon made Berto bow out and in turn I'm sure he was compensated

    Why do I want your attention? You're an absolute clown.

    The only time I pay you any attention is when I laugh at your pathetic ramblings.

    Anyone with a clue? Well that wouldn't be you then would it.
