    The fight will get done, and contrary to some here I think it will be a good fight, not a slugfest, but a good fight and possibly a great fight. I think PBF will stop Pac in the 11th, but time will tell. I think Pac will get frustrated and will eventually make mistakes that end up being his undueing. One thing that Pac has yet to really demonstrate during his run is the ability to remain patient and disciplined, stick to a fight plan, and wait for his opportunity. This will be his undueing in the end, IMO.

    10 million per penalty at 147.

    10 million isn't anywhere near reasonable.

    When Floyd weighed in against Marquez the contract was for 147.

    So he didn't cheat, but was unsportsmanlike by paying Marquez to do the contract.

    10 million isn't reasonable and it's about 5 times higher than the highest penalty before that .

    The fight was supposed to be at 144.. floyd weighed in at 146. He realized he couldnt make weight with days leading to the fight. Yes, it was unsportsmanlike. Not only was he the bigger fighter who was comfortable and spent the last several years at 147, but he's faster/reach adv./power adv.

    10 million is reasonable if floyd doesn't cheat. It's not hard to understand that. If you do not cheat, you pay NO penalty. Do you see Floyd coming in over contracted weight limit? 147? I don't. So I see this as a non-issue.

    I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

    Still, the contract was re-done. So he didn't cheat.

    Floyd paid Marquez to redo the contract. Floyd's never missed 147, it would be understandable if this fight was at a CW.

    I guess so.

    :good

    So following this logic (since Foyd is not going to cheat, there shoud be no issue with the fine); Since Pac is not going to cheat, then there should be no issue with the drug tests. Correct?

    Floyd knew Pac had a thing with giving blood, thats been noted since the first Morales fight..

    If you don't think Floyd knew this, being the competitor that he is. Then you really give Floyd zero credit in this sport.. After all this is his job and livelihood. In which he is one of the best and highest achieved professionals boxing today.

    The reason for the weight penalty is due to Floyd going over contracted weight with JMM (re-doing the contract). Pacman had reason to add in a weight stipulation incase mayweather decided to go over the contracted (147) weight. Shane was an ADMITTED PED user... and he NEEDED the money. That's the reason Shane went through with it.

    Manny, on the other hand, has never tested positive for PEDs. No proof/no reason for the bull****. Just accusations from proven drug pushers/users (mayweathers). Even Uncle Roger stated it's not PEDS, but A-side Meth.

    Pac only gave that excuse to a Filipino TV. Many pac fans didn't even know that.

    he never said anything to the american public.

    Mayweather never missed 147. Only a CW.

    Plus Pac himself has no issues with the drug testing, only the cut off date.

    Pac told Filipino TV. He wasn't known to america at that time. Proof is there though.
