[Video] Floyd Mayweather on fighting Manny Pacquiao: "He had his chance"

I respect you too Pimp C and I'm sure you know it and also sure you know that we've both been(and still are) Mayweather and Pacquiao(for me at least) fans for a decade or more now. It isn't ridiculous today after all fighters followed Mayweather's footsteps but reliving 2010 is a different story. Back then it was looked at as a new odd demand in a sport already full of weird complications, promoters, sanctioning bodies and many more. Many people wondered why Marquez wasn't asked to take such tests and why Pacquiao was the primal reason behind it. Mayweather started these test talks with a load of disrespect and cheap comments through the media, calling Pacquiao a possible cheater and so forth, he didn't demand it in a proper way and even if he did it was going to be extremely difficult for Pacquiao, who was the face of the sport at the time, to bow down to such offers. He would have belittled his self and his position had he bowed down to those demands and public insults from Mayweather especially when he had many other options.

It wasn't only an offer from Mayweather, there's a lot more to it down under and I assure you Mayweather knows it, it's ALL a game and a political one which Mayweather and his team played well as did Arum and Pacquiao. Remember the racist insults Mayweather threw at Pacquiao only to apologize public a day after?, how could Pacquiao accept that and more being the #1 fighter at the time?. It wasn't only a list of demands, these demands came with **** stains all over them and Pacquiao wasn't in desperate need to accept any of it. Regarding the $10 million penalty, Pacquiao pretty much wanted to be sure Mayweather makes the official weight limit, which he never had trouble with anyway. In the end, if Mayweather fails to make the limit Pacquiao wouldn't be in a position to cancel a fight the entire world, literally, is waiting for and if he didn't he wanted to make sure he's paid well for it. That demand was hardly harsh considering Mayweather is making the official weight limit and never had trouble with it.

 

A coward doesn't make a living literally fighting in a ring he could make one fatal mistake in that could cost him his very life. The real cowards are the disrespectful yet most likely obese uneducated simpletons behind computers calling professional athletes cowards, gays and so on.

 

What killed negotiations in 2010 was Mayweather's brand new blood testing demands which followed up with insults and complete disrespect including calling Pacquiao a cheater. As they continued to negotiate as months/years passed by, Mayweather demanded more money and so on. What happened during their final negotiations when Mayweather officially called Pacquiao through the phone?, he openly told him that he's going to offer him $40 million with all the PPV earnings going to Mayweather. If that offer is life changing to you, it's a joke to someone in Pacquiao's level and status.
