    And this not the first time Floyd always use Pacquiao's name to build up his fight. Is it the reason why FMJ called out Pac on his tweeter is because he knows that Pac won't be able to make it May 5. If you have noticed, Bob Arum made an announcement that Pac won't be able to train until April because of his injury from the last fight. After hearing this announcement from Arum, FMJ immediately issued a challenge to fight Pac on his (FMJ's) tweeter. I don't think this fight will ever happen. Pacquiao is willing to fight, but the greatest fighter Mayweather is not.

    Because FLoyd knows that Pacquiao is the new PPV King, and is using him to get more buys on his fight.

    Pac doesn't have a fight coming up, he doesn't even have an opponent selected or a venue selected or a date booked.

    You mean why does Mayweather try to fight Quacquiao? Because Quack would be the biggest fight but Quack is too much of a ***** to fight

    But you're right Mayweather would be cherry picking the 1 dimensional Quack, easy fight

    Publicity stunt.

    Pacquiao hasn't even been contacted by Team Mayweather.

    Not many compelling fights for Mayweather, they're looking for a way to sell his fight, since it's going to be pretty hard to sell after his "cheap shot" of Ortiz.

    It's a preemptive pr move. If Floyd were planning to fight somebody else not named Pac on May 5th, he has to at least make it look like he tried to make that fight. In an ideal situation Floyd's camp would want to steer the blame to Arum/Pac. But I think it's backfiring coz Pac called his bluff and now he's facing immense pressure to concede to Pac's demands that they fight in late May. I mean is anyone gonna forgive Floyd if he goes on and fight a Canelo on the 5th when Pac in essence said let's fight?

    Cause he's near the end of his career and he wants to knock this guy out before he is done. If Floyd beats Pac, he can retire undefeated and talk smack for the rest of his life. Now is his chance. May be one of his final. He wont be the same after jail...

    How ironic that blood test is being brought up when in the past *****s were begged to stop bringing up blood testing since it was no longer an issue.

    The problem was never blood testing as Pac supposedly has agree to the testing. The problem isn't the date as Pac was willing to fight Marquez on that date. The problem wasn't the investors or the stadium.

    The problem is Arum is terrified of putting his fighters in the ring with Mayweather once Mayweather left him. Mayweather would beat all his guys and he would lose millions.

    "Invent blood testing"...I wasn't aware Floyd was a Hematologist, and I certainly didn't know he personally invented the most sophisticated method of PED testing in the world today...that's crazy, thanks for the info. I must admit, Floyd is far more intelligent than I gave him credit for.

    Floyd is a psychic

    How did he know that Pac wont take test?

    How did he know Pac won't be ready?

    Oh wait it is because Pac is reluctant what else does Floyd have to do to show he wants the fight.. Pac is sitting in the Phillipines plotting on fighting JMM a fight with Floyd is only good for Pac money wise..
