You know what happened in the negotiations based on conjecture and the word of Bob Arum, a known liar with a vested interest in you believing Mayweather is the reason the fight is not happening. Pac's fans are second only to Calzaghe's in terms of stupidity.
If Floyd wants the fight to happen in the future its better if he doesn't **** all over Arum and Pac vs Margo. Chances are the deal is already 90% done and they are working together on marketing strategies for next year.
He don't need to clear the air at all. He was accused by a crackhead of drug use (LOL) in a lame attempt to damage his reputation in order to avoid Void fighting him.
:good Very clear concise and to the point...something I know that some people can't comprehend. They prefer the incoherent ramblings of Mayweather Jr. and Sr. :hat
some on here are saying it's all a part of general floyd's grand ploy. this is his work of genius and that everything is going on as planned. that this move was well calculated. they know the fight's next year too, they are sure of this even with how erratic things have been the past few months.
Part of the problem is, if Pacquiao and Mayweather haven't been directly and personally involved in the negotiations, they likely don't know entirely what their demands ARE. Pacquiao said he agrees to all of Mayweather's testing demands. What are Mayweather's testing demands? Does anybody know? Does MAYWEATHER know? Nobody has come out and said, "Pacquiao has agreed to be subject to random drug testing with a 14/10/0 day cut-off date". He said he agrees to Mayweather's demands. I can already see the writing on the wall. Pac "I agree to Mayweather's testing demands" May "Great, so I'll call up WADA and tell them to set up testing up until the day of the fight" Pac "Wait, what? You said a 14 day cut-off. That's what you said during our last negotiation, and that's what I'm agreeing to now" May "Oh no, that was before. You don't remember when I said 'day of the fight' during my post-fight interview with Kellerman? I said this is my stance from now on - day of fight- just like Mosley had to do." Pac "Well, you changed your position! I'm not agreeing to no cut-off!" May "Then you haven't agreed to my demands" I'm calling it right here, right now. That's exactly how the next round of negotiations is going to go because nobody knows what the current demands are, and everybody is just speaking in vague generalities because both sides KNOW it hasn't been settled yet.
You know, you might be absolutely right. I've never been the sharpest knife in the drawer. But that's why I'm on this site, so wise men like you can set me straight. So go ahead...set me straight. Tell me Mayweather's specific demands and Pacquiao accepting those specific demands from Mayweather.
Negotiations happened. That's really all we need to know given Floyd, his promotional team, bob and Greenberg all confirmed. Why the fight isn't happening is also clear since Floyd came out with that vid of him talking about what he "would" do to PAC if he had the urge. PAC groupies and Floyd groupies are pretty rare breeds. They will defend their guy no matter what.
Where did Floyd acknowledge that negotiations happen? And last I checked, his direct advisors and Golden Boy all denied it. did something change?
atsch So you want the facts??? Why the **** are you complaining about DRUG TESTS, Floyd Jr. isn't? Did he give that as the reason why it isn't Pacquiao vs. Mayweather on Nov 13th instead of Pacquiao vs. Margarito? NO!!! The Drug Testing issue is moot. He doesn't want to fight Pacquiao........<snicker> this year according to him, because he doesn't have the urge. Your thread is an obvious attempt to rationalize the COWARDICE of Floyd Jr. I know................................. it must really SUCK...:smoke
He agreed to everything and even Mayweather admitted, Mayweather just didn't sign because he planned a "vacation".
Floyd has the power to dismiss everything Team Pacquiao has as a lie. Yet, he hasn't because negotiations DID take place and Pac DID agree to his demands. Floyd = Punk :deal
