    Keep things in perspective.....without Manny or FLoyd neight can make this kind of money. So passing up on the opportunity of a LIFETIME for men who are already millionares is saying A LOT in terms of the kind of paper these men stand to make ......or MISS OUT ON! Floyd's call.:yep

    Man look. You are a cool cat, but you keep flipping out dropping F bombs and all that crap.

    Let's be peace on this, but you got to recognize that what is in that article is fancy lawyer speak for:

    "We sent Mayweather what we thought was fair now he should sign!"

    That just doesn't make any sense when they are not holding the stronger hand.

    For some reason I think the fight will be made soon. Don't ask me why, just a feeling.

    No you keep things in perspective. FMJ faced Manny's B side opponent, JMM, and did light years better than Pac did. FMJ took Cotto's B side opponent , Mosley, and did better numbers than Pac did with Cotto. Pac fought Clottey and, though more than respectable in most circles, basically flopped.

    This is Manny's call. This is all about effective random drug testing. One guy fears it. One guy doesn't. If that wasn't the case we would have seen this fight already. :deal

    I still dont see what your seeing in the article that I've read # times already. First of all its a news article which is 98% bull**** anyway. But the language implies from how Im interpreting it that they are willing to meet Mayweather's demands. Because it says provisions your are getting something else from it.


    It's all love dont go getting self-righteous on me, you've been shittin on me in this whole thread. We gonna argue about boxing many more times after this. Nothing personal at all.

    It is all in this sentence:
    Arum has said for weeks that Mayweather's camp has a contract for the fight and that Pacquiao has accepted the terms, including provisions for drug testing (blood and urine) leading up to the bout.

    It just said he "has" the contract not that he drafted it. It also said it "includes provisions" not that he drafted and approved the provisions. None of those questions can be answered in this article and I don't think it is any mistake that Arum spoke in such cryptic and easily misunderstood terms.

    Right on man. My bad I just know sometimes I get a bit too "hyped" and can cross the line. When you said "F you thoroughly." You were in the right. My bad.

    I see what your saying now, it is kind of vague. Even still, I hope Mayweather is satisfied and signs so we can argue about why this was a bad decision for Manny cause he got his ass thoroughly kicked.

    Yeah brother like I said nothing personal, I'm smiling over here.:good

    If Mayweather doesn't sign I say we petition the mods to ban every ***** who defends it.

    The contract is irrelevant, they're gonna be making 50 billion dollars.

    Who gives a ****?

    14 days, 2 days, I don't ****ing care.

    Fight for the ****ing money you love, ***.

    One of the silliest things I've ever heard.

    You have two options. You can have 80% of the inheritance of Mr. Bald Head Slick, a lifelong plumber who amassed $25,000 in savings.

    Or you can have 0.1% of Warren Buffet's fortune when he passes.

    The "more slices of the pie" theory advocated by resident genius Mr. Slick dictates that one opts for the plumber's inheritance, because it's a larger percentage.

    That is just spectacularly stupid. I conclude you must be kidding.
