    You must've lost a lot of money betting against Pac for making this absolute moronic comment. Pac may be illiterate/uneducated (in your pea-sized brain) but he's a millionaire, been a cover of time magazine, fighter of the decade, a congressman, the most popular boxer on the planet and the P4P Number 1 Fighter while you? Oh forget about it...... you can't even afford to buy a skateboard :hi:

    Floyd fanboy logic?

    And to answer the question, he appeased because he wants the fight made. He wanted it made from the beginning, but Floyd and his team made accusations in the media and started up a shitstorm of rumors and that's what killed the fight.

    The whole deal about "3 days to 30 days" is nonsense. Pacquiao never said anything about 3 days or 5 days, that was stuff that came from Freddie Roach in interviews. The problem with the last negotiations is that there was too much rumors and too many people saying things to the media which caused a lot of confusion. Pac officially made a compromise of a 30 day cut off, with a test beforehand and one after the fight. Then he went down to 24 days which Floyd still wouldn't agree with. Now he's agreeing to do 14 .

    The bottom line is Manny is ready to make the fight happen and Floyd hasn't said a word. There's only one guy who can run away from the fight at this point.

    1...yet, he was willing to have his blood and urine tested early in Jan. and from then on, urine test at anytime all the way to fight time. Don't forget, NSAC had his urine tested Dec. 31, none detected.
    What kind of drug anyway do you think he needed to flush out?

    2. It appeared to me that it's Floyd that did not want the fight as he did not even make an effort to counter the mediation offer.

    3. Pac's team wanted NSAC to oversee the unlimited urine test and the 3 blood test. :conf

    Why did he need a 30 day window? Someone accuses you of taking PEDs, and then you respond by saying you'll submit to blood testing as long as you have a 30 day window? That's suspect.

    Mayweather countered with a 14 day window comprise back in December; a comprimise that was flatout rejected by Pacquiao. Now, months later, he is fine with a 14 day window. What changed in those few months?

    The NSAC isn't even currently setup to do blood testing, so that's a farce of a comprimise. In a few days, The NSAC is going to vote on whether or not they want to ammend their current testing policy. What if they vote to ammend their policy and allow for blood testing with no window? What the hell is Pacquiao going to do then?

    Then why didn't he agree to 14 days all the way back in December when Mayweather first offered it? He's okay with it now, why wasn't he ok with it back then?

    The fact of the matter is it seems that Manny REALLY wants to faced Floyd. And even with all of the accusations and attempts to tarnish and discredit his accomplishments in his career he's willing to accept the "hit" and do his best to corner the elusive Mayweather.

    Manny knows Floyd wants to call the shots and Floyd has reasons for demanding the bigger split NOW....based on his PPV#'s recently. So Manny before didn't give in to FLoyd b/c Floyd really didn't have the leverage to control or dictate the negotiation process.

    INstead, Floyd came up with the blood testing demands that stemmed from accusations that were unwarranted and unsubstantiated regarding PAC using or abusing PEDs, Roids or what have you.

    Manny took a hard stance in the begining b/c he had a lot more leverage than Floyd in the initial round of negotiations and of course he didn't really care for the route Floyd took in order to try to gain some control over a situation where he clearly had less.

    Now we see Floyd with more leverage and the fight is a possibility but based on how Floyd has acted in the past regarding facing Manny its clear that Manny is the one who will have to make MORE concessions in order to get the fight made....and THAT...he is willing to do.

    Of course he's not happy with the rumors that were spread and the fact that he has to answer questions regarding his career b/c of those accusations but at the end of the day Manny would rather test himself against his toughest opponent which is Floyd.

    The problem is getting Floyd in the ring. He clearly has reservations and he's not showing signs that he is willing to take a hefty risk against a guy many believe could take his undefeated record.

    I'm sure Floyd has a lot to weigh out before taking this challenge and he's doing everything possible to ensure he's compensated nicely if he does take this risk.

    I think we can all agree that the whole new drug testing issue and Mayweather's accusations of PED came out of left field. Before that it was never brought up, not once. Due to the many negative connotations that were attached to such a suprising demand, it isn't shocking that negotiations fell apart considering the fight date was only three months away and Shane Mosley was willing to step in.

    I think Pacquiao has come to realization that he wants to fight Floyd it will have to under these terms. After watching the 24/7 it does actually look like the testing procedures are a bit of a pain in the ass during training camps, so obviously Pacquiao is going to want to work it in way that is most advantageous towards himself.

    Bottom line Pacquiao has agreed to the blood test; whether the fight takes place in Nov is totally up to Mayweather.

    The fact is, if Pac stuck to his firm "beliefs" and "principles" like you suggest. You all would be here accusing Pac of ducking Floyd. You all would be here accusing Pac of doing roids because he stuck to his "principles" about the drug testing.

    This thread is pointless. Who the **** cares if Pac changed his mind or the reasons for it? Do you guys want to see the ****ing fight or not? Atleast Pac has acceded to one of Mayweather's demands. Whether or not that demand is off the table is irrelevant. What Pac did is atleast a sign that he wants the fight to be made. Shouldn't you atleast be happy that the fight is a little bit closer to be made than before instead of wondering of nonsensical things like this?

    I still prefer to see supporting articles or documents to claims before deciding on things.
