    Pacquiao hasn't agreed to any RANDOM testing. There is no such thing when you know the cut-off date.

    He weighed 146 in the fight before. Question though, if that one pound was insignificant, then why did team pac make the demand and find it important enough to put it in the contract:huh

    Pac wanted 143, Cotto gave him a "take it or leave it" 145. Pac agreed to the 145.

    Again, the 145 was Cotto's idea.

    The catchweight was pacs idea. 145 was a compromise Cotto made to get the fight done.:-( Along with accepting a smaller split. these are decisions that cotto made to get the fight done.

    btw I am not saying cotto deserved an even split with Pac.:D

    because of his history (ducking Margarito and Cotto) demanding something that has never been done before exhudes the perception that Floyd is scared.... again.

    Well of course Cotto agreed...he wasn't in the position to haggle. He wasn't big enough of a star to haggle. Some goes with Shane Mosley. Mosley agreed to fight at 140, was it? 140! That's how desperate he was to get into the ring with a superstar...

    ...FMJ's star level isn't so much higher than Pac's that he can make ridiculous demands, or try to get the upper hand in every facet of the negotiations.

    Fine I agree with this. its just that you stated it was Cottos Idea which would imply to some that it was something Cotto originally wanted.

    team pac gave team cotto and ultimatum 143 or no fight so Cotto counted with 145.

    The point is how is Floyd a coward for making a demand and sticking to it when Pac indicated he was willing to walk away from ODLH, Hatton and Cotto unless his demands were met.

    In other words, he was willing to deprive the fans of these fights unless his demands were met:deal

    Here's a sensible answer to your first question.

    Excerpts from

    By Steve Lewis:

    This content is protected


    Pac is not great asking for a catchweight and Cotto is not dumb for accepting the catchweight. Catchweights have been done before in boxing history. They are done to make superfights between 2 greats who happen to be in 2 separate but adjecent weight classes. Floyd has as many catchweight fights as Pac. At least Pac honored his agreed upon weight.

    As far as Floyd's demands for blood testing. He has every right to ask for them, though it's quite questionable why he's never asked 40 of his previous opponents for blood testing. Pac has every right to refuse them. Blood testing is not the standard for pro boxing and has been determined by the Nevada State Athletic Commission to be even potentially dangerous, confirmed further in my eyes when USADA decided to stop blood testing Floyd and Shane 18 days (almost 3 weeks) before their fight, after all their talk that blood testing is not dangerous and that you can't give fighters too big of a window to cheat. Pac had a bad experience giving blood a day before the first Morales fight saying it sapped him of strength. All this and Pac is still willing to give blood, just not too close to the fight, even against the findings of the NSAC, and has accepted Floyd's 14 day cutoff date proposal. Pac wants this fight. Let's see if Floyd wants it.
