    I understand the point youre trying to make but I am confused as to why you phrased it the way you did. Surely you understand that although boxing is a business, it is also considered to be a manly sport that consists of fighters with huge egos. Especially when one is called out because it makes him look as if hes scared and therefore less than a man. Those call outs are a strong, motivating force and can move a fight foward a lot faster. Ali did it all the time. Now , I would appreciate a clarification on some of the statements you made such as,1. what does ghetto land mean to you? 2. What makes you part of the so-called cilvilized world and why are you referencing black neighborhoods to substanciate your statements.3. Do you think people would really expect Donaire to answer a callout from Vitali?:bbb:bbb:bbb

    Floyd's usage of xylocaine is not a certainty (Ellerbe denied it) but it is very suspect. And Manny is classy enough to accept the fight in Floyd's backyard nevertheless.

    And what about the unjustified PEDS accusations? Manny's reputation has been harmed by the Crackweathers and many *****s believe in it while ignoring the possible usage of xylocaine by their own diva. Double standards... And yet Manny is classy enough to take the tests.

    If Floyd fights more than 2 times a year, he will injured his hand. And being older doesn't help either.

    He is trying to save face. I am telling you this guy is scared of Floyd. Pure chicken**** scared. He is hiding behind his promoter and saying dumb **** "fight 90% done" next day Bob Arum says they can't fight as soon as May to heal the cut. Yet, *******s still try to revive any kind of thread that looks like Pac wants it.

    xylocaine talk/accusation came and was mentioned by Lampley before Pac was ever a threat to Floyd.

    2:00 minutes on.

    They're still bumping old videos of Pac saying he'd agreed to all tests before the Margo fight... which was then found out to be a lie on 24/7.

    Floyd added an additional demand, no negotiations until Pac drops the lawsuit.

    I think the last month has been hard on a *******. You are rational deep down but have to tote the party line. We all know dropping the lawsuit is a given. It has to happen in order to proceed. It always did. It is just plain common sense. Just for the simple fact you cant defame a guy making career paydays and putting up his best ppvs. We all know Floyd is not going to publicly apologize. Come on man.. Come on.

    This is obscene. Just plain dishonest. 100 million dollars for one person is an unreasonable sum of money for a single boxing match, for a multitude of reasons, pre and post fight night.
