    One of the worst boxing pieces I have ever read. Sh*t. I saw this article earlier and just wanted to email Smith and tell him he's Floyd's biotch. Garbage.

    I completely agree that both sides made compromises and concessions in order to make this fight a reality. However, based on these concessions, what was it about "10 days" that was a deal breaker??

    Clearly they were able to negotiate venue, weight, billing, gloves,etc. But somehow a blood test is grounds to walk away from millions of dollars?

    Surely, there must be a better explanation than simply "ego":verysad

    So Pacman beats Clottey and Money fights his cherry picked opponent.
    You have to remember old Arum is very smart and is a lawyer by training.
    He talks for more money. The longer they postpone the " "M E G A'' '' fight
    the more it will earn. That is the way it is done by the courts to milk the
    $$$ out of the interested parties. For all we know the old lawyer may be trying to go around PPV and cut a huge deal with a network?
