So Pacquaio was just using the no testing excuse so he could duck Floyd.

So another Floyd-Manny thread?? really?

That actually makes him a pretty good boxer. if he is clean.

Too bad he didn't, and the bold further proves that you acknowledge that he didn't agree. Ariza said it best, when 40mill was thrown at him he didn't respond by asking for a higher demand, he instead walked off.

Of course I agree that Pacquiao refused the original test demands because at that time such demands were unheard of. I still say if he had agreed Mayweather would have had some new excuse for not fighting Pacquiao. The 40million telephone offer was a joke. The offer was a fake but even if it wasn't Pacquiao getting only 40 million would mean Mayweather would keep about 160 million for an 80 20 split. Ariza was not there and he hates Pacquiao so he is not neutral. Mayweather had no intention of sending Pacquiao $40million. Pacquiao has to pay taxes and pay Arum his share and there is no way around that. Giant fights like Pacquiao-Mayweather are never made by the two fighters in a phone call. All members of both teams and their lawyers are always involved. If Mayweather's 40million offer was sincere it would have been made in the form of a legally binding contract. You can't name one large fight that was made between only the two fighters because business is NEVER done that way. Mayweather's 40million offer was a joke and if you believe it was a real offer you are naïve. Pacquiao sure as hell did respond to Mayweather's offer with a counter offer. He told Mayweather he wanted a 50 50 split. Then Mayweather "walked off".
