    If Mayweather is a coward for taking vacations then what does that make you when you take vacations off serving at Applebees?

    Pacquiao/Arum never wanted the fight in the first place. If they, did Manny woud've agreed to random blood testing, the same testing, that he is now suddenly OK with, and even demanding from his opponent. The irony. :lol

    Mayweather is self promoted while Pacquiao pays someone to manage and promote for him while he's busy looking to secure a spot in politics in his country. To make it simple, Mayweather's job/life is the sport while Pacquiao has other options in mind. Major difference.

    Has Pacqiao ever made 40million before, because Floyd has. He turned down a career high payday the likes of which he will never see again, while Floyd just signed the richest individual contract in sports. Manny was grossly overestimating his revenue drawing power. He killed the fight,.

    He's clearly agreeing to it now because he lost the #1 spot and has nothing to lose anymore. It's very simple and clear yet sadly complicated to some. Politics is unfortunately involved in EVERY aspect of life, sadly not many understand it which is why it will always exist.

    So a 140lb fighter can hurt him more than a 170lb guy can.. cmon man be serious... this whole 'health' thing gets taken way out of context lol. He expressed a concern that pac may be taking something.. so why didn't pac jst say yes to drug testing? All i know is, i i was fighting somebody and they asked me to a do a drug test and i knew i was clean i'd have no problem doing it.. why didn't pac.. ask yourself that.

    Again I repeat, while $40 million is intriguing to many people here who will most likely never dream of such a number not even in 100 lifetimes, Pacquiao isn't forced to take it especially in a fight where it's obviously a 50/50 fight most likely favoring Mayweather. In the end, it takes two to generate big numbers and Pacquiao's name was intriguing enough for the entire world, literally, to demand this fight. Pacquiao didn't create that name sleeping at home, he created it fighting in the ring and impressing the entire world including Mayweather. To make it as simple as possible, both are massive names and if so they both deserve to be paid equally because they MADE their names. Mayweather demanding 100% of the PPV sales was a complete joke of an offer.

    But that's just it, he's not agreeing to anything. He's the one demanding it.:lol:

    There would be no random ped testing if Pacquiao wasn't demanding, which is a damning about face from the stance he had during the mayweather negotiations.

    Drug testing is so ridiculous lol .. :S i seriously don't get the hate... isn't it fair... both test, clean v clean... nothing wrong with that. It's to easy to beat the basic commission tests..

    when was Floyd supposed to fight Martinez? The timing for that fight has always been wrong due to injuries, jail, legal issues and already being scheduled to fight
    no he waited for him to leave Top Rank

    Well no ****, if he wasn't demanding it for his next fight who would?, Rios? :lol:. As I said, he's demanding or agreeing or whatever comes for obvious reasons. He has NOTHING to lose anymore and going through such tests shouldn't bother him anymore as long as he keeps a possible payday with Mayweather open.

    Easy or not, the only time Mayweather thought about such procedures was when Pacquiao became a possible opponent. That's the main discussion here. If we're going to talk about the tests, they're not doing the sport(which already has enough complications) any favors. You have the USADA, VADA, WADA and whatever else I'm forgetting all rising from the ashes the same way belts did. From WBC to WBA to IBF to WBO to IBO to WBF...etc, they are ALL businesses. Expect far more testing organizations to show up with fighters declining certain fights because one favors whatever.

    You can keep saying it all you want, but If Pacquiao isn't intrigued by 40mil, then he's and idiot since he's never had a purse that large and never will without Floyd. Mayweather has. Manny was not worth as much as he thought he was.
