    Well I think your first paragraph sums it up. Pac's team more or less laughed off the accusations, and were pretty much ignorant to what Mayweather's drug testing demands would be.

    But that doesn't mean that they accepted all of the required demands, before suddenly changing their minds at the last minute.

    That's pretty much spot on but unfortunately you get called a hater for saying that...

    I also thought that Mayweather didn't really want to risk facing Mosley after the JMM fight. He was out of legit options and Mosley being the man to beat at 147lbs, he desperately needed that credibility back and I'm sure his team convinced him on that. He gets all the credit for doing so in the end.

    I agree to an extent though he didn't need credibility back he needed to out do Pac. Mosley gave him the best opportuinity to out do Pac. He out sold Pac, did the complete blood testing, and dominated the #3 P4P and #1 rated WW.

    In doing so he believes that he should be the one calling the shots in negotiations. Mayweather states he wants blood testing up to the fight, Pac agrees to 14days, then goes on to fight Margarito. Mayweather states he is on vacation believing that he is the only quality option Pac has available money wise and Arum will eventually fold. I think after the Margo fight Pac when Pac wins the title in the 8th division he will finally agree to Mayweather's full terms. If not then Mayweather will probably go on to fight Williams or Martinez winner. Pac will then rematch Cotto or something.

    Right, right... and the fact that Mosley gassed in two rounds after doing random blood testing shows that the testing didn't matter either right? Mosley is salty that he didn't get to use his "a-side meth" and got his can kicked now he wants to throw salt in the game.

    So now is Mosley insinuating that the reason he lost is because Mayweather "controlled things" with USADA random drug testing? Right Mosley... Right...

    That is a stupid comparison.

    This case is completely different. Either fighter could have easily made the fight happen back in March. If Pac would have accepted the tests, fight would have happened. If Floyd would have accepted the 24 days, fight would have happened.

    Both fighters have big egos, both fighters had demands (wasn't just Floyd), and neither wanted to budge. That's what killed the fight.

    You're too immature to even have an intelligent debate with. It is a fact that both fighters play a roll in negotiations, and both make demands.

    Floyd made his drug test demand, while Pac made demands surrounding purse, glove/ring size, and weight penalty.

    They couldn't come to an agreement on the drug testing, even when a 14 day cutoff was on the table. Neither would budge!

    This is a fact, not worded to place full blame on either fighter.

    You jumping to the gay **** you posted is reflective of your ignorance and inability to look at the situation without bias, so I am done talking with you.

    Right... Not like he was the #1 WW, holding a title, and about to challenge for another. No expectations to win...

    More like he was CLEAN so had no problem drug testing. :deal

    But wouldn't you also agree that we are in different times now? Five years ago, although steroids were being used, increased drug testing demands would have seemed unnecessary. But now with more wide spread information; the issues going in other sports, such as baseball; steroid use seems to be a much bigger problem. Especially considering fighters like Mosley used them and still had clean tests under the current system.

    If you take this fight completely off the table, not think about Floyd or Pac, and just look at the situaion, it's apparent that the current system is flawed and needs to be addressed.
