    Because he said the contract MUST contain USADA drug testing. Now if he said it MUST contain this and Arum's contract didn't knowing this, who really doesn't want the fight?

    This is video after the Mosley fight. Go to 12:40:

    I don't get it. Just because Floyd says something MUST happen doesn't all of a sudden mean that. He's just one of two parties involved in the fight. Personally I think any stipulation about drug testing that's over and above what a Commission in a particular state deems required is up for negotiation.

    For me let's make it easy. 50-50 purse, the winner gets 60-40 if they both agree and the type of drug testing is determined by the Commission of whichever state the fight is held. If one party doesn't agree to this, no fight, and the "blame" if one needs to assign blame, is to the party who wouldn't accept these terms, cause they're the reasonable terms one can imagine. If Floyd insists on Olympic drug testing, that's obviously a negotiatable issue, so what's he going to give up in return?

    No. If you WANT to fight him certain things MUST happen. You get that?

    See you are starting from a false position. Manny doesn't deserve a 50% cut of purse. Commission drug testing is ineffective just like most testing organizations.

    It obviously is not a negotiable issue. It used to be. He tried to negotiate it with Pac. Arum lied, said 14 days wasn't offered, got caught by the mediator, admitted he was lying, and left Mayweather looking dumb with no opponent.

    Never again.

    Mayweather's fault first because it didn't seem like he wanted to fight again this year in the first place. Then it's Arum's fault, no explanation needed. I also blame Arum for the negotiations first time around when he didn't keep Pacquiao in the loop about what was offered.
     
  8. You could've summed this up a lot quicker: You think Bob Arum killed the fight because you're a *****.


    See how much easier that is?

    :lol:

    It is actually Pac's fault.

    The way he is dismantling previous Mayweather opponents more convincingly and easily put the dagger to any future fights, plus the way he manhandled Cotto.

    Pac should have not been too eager to accept the first fight, afterall, March 13 is so close from Pac's previous fight with Cotto. Pac should have mentioned that Mayweather is too good and needs vacation somewhere. Pac should verbally challenge him because anybody who verbally challenge Money gets to fight him, like Margarito.

    Definitely it is all Pac's fault.

    Floyd Mayweather Sr. is more to blame than anybody else.

    Then you don't fight him and he's the one responsible for it not happening, which is why he's being called a coward.

    GET IT!!

    LOL im a *****?! Pacquiao is my favourite fighter today! I would love him to beat mayweather. But as a boxing fan analysing the fight, i just think Floyd would have too much for him. Im just calling it as i see it. Why does everyone have to be either a ***** or a *******?! If you went through old posts of mine youd clearly see im more often defending Pac than Floyd.
