    this fight has too many greedy greedy men around it and too much money on the table for it not to happen


    i think mayweather is messing people around however i find it hard to believe he is 'scared'

    If he does fight Hatton the other next, it would be the funniest thing ever for Hatton to catch him with a lucky hayemaker and knock him out cold. It cant happen really....or can it? Boxing has a habit of throwing up the unexpected!

    Im not joking. In the WWE there drug testing consists of Random Urine Testing and scheduled Blood Tests. The reason for this is that the wrestlers know when to stop taking stuff when they have a blood test coming up, and that theres loads of PED's that do not get spotted by Urine testing.

    The drug testing Pacquioa's team wants is random urine testing and scheduled blood tests, of which none will be 24 days before the fight.

    they're a pair of tits.

    It's up to Haye and V Klitschko to give the sport some lustre, in Europe at least, with a megafight this year. It's a very distant second to Pac-PBF, but it would be the biggest heavy fight since Lewis-Tyson, which is important for the sport.

    Depending on what he was supposed to be taking, a blood test wouldn't have discovered it anyway. I'm not getting drawn into this again, but a blood test isn't fail safe.

    A moral victory for Hatton would just being able to land a clean punch, even if it was only a jab. This could go 12 and Floyd could quite easily not get hit once, one of the biggest mismatches off all time.

    I'd still buy a ticket though!

    Pac and his camp said they would take a blood test 24 days prior to the fight. Floyd and his camp said if that is the case then there is no point. We need to establish what time the Floyd camp wanted.

    PS - I think Pac is pathetic. Even if it was a week before the fight that Floyds camp wanted he should have conceeded it, especially after Floyd conceeded everything else.

    Floyd didn't concede anything. Pac got his just rewards for being the man who fought Barrera twice, Morales thrice and JMM twice, a HOF career in itself. Then on top of that fighting DLH, Hatton and Cotto.

    50-50 pay split, 8 oz reyes gloves, 147 weight, 10 million per pound overweight plus i understand there was some other marketing concessions and what not.

    of course he made concessions. i never thought he'd conceed a 50-50 split when floyds a much bigger sell on ppv and that is where these guys will make a large chuck of their money.

    don't reel off a list of names. floyds fought a host of quality fighters.

    We're never going to agree on this, so I won't say too much more. One irrefutable fact is that, had Mayweather not accuse Pac of taking PEDs and demanded unprecedented drug testing, the contracts would already be signed.
