    1. Bob Arum didn't want the fight for Manny.
    2. Floyd and Bob Arum didn't get along, which made negotiations harder.
    3. Both guys were better off beating other fighters, making money.
    4. Floyd knew Manny was on PEDs.

    In 2010 it would have been a great fight with the winner up in the air. Years later it turned into Leonard Duran III

    Pac was afraid of needles and wouldn't take a blood test.
