    Followed up, almost poetically, with:

    "If I make $60-75million, come on, I can't lose"

    :lol:

    He knows he can't beat Pacquiao. He's running scared and doing everything possible to back out of the fight.

    Sorry, I'm not really a Pac fan. Cotto was my guy but he got his ass beat and I can admit it. If someone questions my integrity, unless it's a personal friend or family member, I say **** em'. I don't have to prove **** to anyone, nor will I.

    It is very apparent that you sir like many other floyd fans are getting agitated with floyd's antics but continue to praise everything he does. So yes, **** me for discussing this with you. It is my fault for talking to a biased ******* who does nothing but support every single thing that the cherrypicking, ducking, fraud does in life. Too bad for you.

    If Mayweather is scared then all Manny has to do is call his bluff and collect his huge payday.

    Go ahead Manny, just call his bluff if your innocent at all this is is Mayweather trying to be get out of the fight. If that was true then he would just find another way to get out of the fight anyway right.

    Mayweather is subject to the same exact testing. No matter what you guys say about principal, and all that other BS. Mayweather has to go through the same testing himself.

    Anything is possible, there's no logical reason to cancel this fight by trying to implement new rules. Why didn't they ask for the same fighting all the other 40 guys?, because they suck compared to Pacman?

    If anything this doesn't make Mayweather look ANY good and promotes Pac as a great dangerous fighter more.

    Everything like agreeing to all Pac terms except for stricter drug testing. If it was the other way around then the same people would say PBF is on PEDs. :good

    Thats just the way athletes are made. Their genetics mean that they will burn brightly but burn quick. Bolt won't be around for the 2016 games. Their prime cones and goes quick.

    In 1985, Tyson was good. Does he match up against Ali, Frazier, Lewis etc.? No. Does the '87 version? Yes.

    It's just the way athletes tend to be when they first make the transition from junior to adult. It's a big step and takes adjustment. Aside from that, they take it a lot more serious so when Bolt wasn't qualifying, it's almost certain its because it was a period of change.

    And what happens if no one gets killed ? Laws and rules don't get changed if there is no history of a problem. ODH didn't get killed, Hatton didn't get killed, nor did Cotto get killed. The reason for these ridiculous demands by floyd isn't because he thinks he is going to die. If you let floyd tell it, floyd mayweather (in the 3rd person, ha ha) is the best there ever was. So if Pac hasn't killed any of his previous inferior competition, the best fighter there ever was should be able to make it out with his life. Don't ya think ?


    And let me guess. This "guy" your talking about is Pac.

    I've clashed with Scar more than anyone about Mayweather in my nearly 4 years on ESB. He is a big fan.

    To dismiss his ideas and label him as a hater is absurd.

    Last I checked, Mosley/Berto was a unification bout for the welterweight titles.

    Unification Bout. Weltwerweight titles. Possibly some effect on the outcome of a Mayweather/Pacquiao fight. and where it leads..Hmm...

    Golden Boy Promotions should step up to the ****ing plate and make THAT bout consist of olympic-style random blood-testing, considering one of their fighters after all tested positive for steroids. They step up to the plate...Manny has no ****ing excuse not to submit to random blood-testing.

    AND Golden Boy should petition for random-blood testing in all of their bouts.

    Don't let me speak for scar, but from what I remember he was on the floyd bandwagon for as long as I can remember. Up until very recently if i recall correctly.

    But it's not the other way around. That is just not a very plausible hypothetical situation. If it happened, I would agree with you. But the chances are so very remote that that would happen. There are not many fighters that I can imagine that would do what floyd has done in this situation. I am almost positive that Pac wouldn't.

    You brought out the speeding at 100mph, thats where there is the potential for a fatal accident. YOU SAID IT. I was explaining why the law should be followed by drivers. The drug testing is the same principal, but may not lead to the same outcome.
    It seems that no one reads what posters are saying. Look around pro sports PEDs are everywhere. In some cases there is concrete proof some you dont need it. Bonds, Mcguire etc.

    If you asked me before all this, I would have said Pac would have taken the test. I would have been wrong
