Team PBF blew it, the chance to be P4P 1 and make $ 40 million

I agree that curling really isn't a sport. I mean they sweep shit on ice. I guess it takes talent though. It is more of a game then an actual sport I mean it does take skill and all but where is the athletic ability. It is kind of a cross between bowling and horse shoes but I really dont think those are sports either even though they are pretty fun endeavors

floyd mayweather has a history of cheating --> him cheating the scales against marquez, him using banned painkillers floyd mayweather has a history of ducking fighters and making excuses --> never fought any welterweights with the likes of mosely, margarito, williams etc.. pacquiao doesnt even need 40 mill cuz he's rich as **** in his country.. shit.. $1000 could feed an entire village over there. he's already p4p number 1 and regarded by many historians an ATG. plus he has sponsorhips from nike and a bunch of other products unlike floyd facts are facts! floyd is ducked this fight bigtime and now about to lose some more green

Floyd blew what? He negotiated and the negotiation hit a snag, so what it happens in all fights. Floyd makes a minimum of 10 million every time he fights. That's right I said a minimum of 10 million. So to say he will be hurt I doubt it. He will get another fight and his guarantee will be guaranteed. Don't get it twisted. He wanted the testing and if he felt it was necessary then so be it. Maybe he was willing to walk away with his principles in tact. Uh... I don't think we're talking about the same Floyd! Principles and Floyd don't go together. GTFOH.

I highly doubt that. I really think it was part of Floyd's mind games plus he gave up alot of concessions and didn't want Team Manny think that he's giving in so he pushed for something that would make them look like winners in the negotiations, which unfortunately backfired. Why would he throw away his ever biggest payday when he truly believes that he can beat Manny easily and he has the skills and the talent to back it up. He says, Manny would be one of the easiest fights for him. He just really blew it. I'm really surprised because I think that PBF is one of the smartest man in boxing, in and out of the ring. The way he plays the "heel" or the way he promotes a fight is amazing. This guy works hard in promoting his fights. It's just not in him to be all of a sudden the moral voice of the sport. PBF fights for money and that's about it and I can't blame him for that. Floyd blew what? He negotiated and the negotiation hit a snag, so what it happens in all fights.

Maybe he was willing to walk away with his principles in tact. All money is not good money. He didn't say the hell with the testing so its probably not a promotional stunt. Floyd believes that Manny would be easy work for him and so do alot of other boxers, trainers, and commentators. They say it is a nightmare matchup for Manny. In all fairness of negotiation...if Manny's side can ask for a 10 million dollar weight penalty then Floyd can ask for extra testing.

I think it has to do with him coming in clean for the fight I highly doubt that.

Yes and the whole PBF team are scratching their heads because they didn't think it would all come to this. First, they lost $ 40 million, the chance to be on top of boxing again and now they may have to cough up some major chunk if Manny wins his case. They didn't expect this to backfire. I agree they didn't think this would backfire. But they thought manny was on something before this fight. So i really don't think it's about mind games. I think it has to do with him coming in clean for the fight

This is one of the biggest pussy moves I have ever seen. Suing really? Just because someone said he's on roids? hahahahaha they might be felons but I guess manny believes there words mean alot. In America you can so for anything Yes and the whole PBF team are scratching their heads because they didn't think it would all come to this.

should manny sue himself for defamation...he's made himself look worse than anyone else has by refusing the tesy and sueing I think Manny will be fine, with or without the $ 40 million. He's still P4P #1. Floyd just lost $ 40 million, top billing and the chance to be P4P # 1. Totally backfired.

It has nothing to do with being a commisioner don't you guys get that? It's part of the negotioations. Exactly. It was all part of PBF's gamesmanship and it backfired. This was my whole point.

Why would he take a test something that never happened in the sport of boxing! Is Floyd the Commissioner of boxing? Pacquiao never failed a drug test in his entire life and he just owned you like a B?tch.. Pac would KO Floyd and you're still there B?tching and crying about Pacquiao. It has nothing to do with being a commisioner don't you guys get that? It's part of the negotioations. Who is manny to say floyd has to pay 10 million for every lb he is over? It's the damn negotioations. Most poeple like me never thought manny was on anything but now i do. Why not take the test?

???????????? If his reputation was more important then he would of taken the test and prove he's clean. This is actually ruining his reputation He has and he is. Every single fight. He is suing PBF and GBP for defamation because they tried to destroy his reputation not because he tested positive for PEDs. His reputation is only ruined with regards to Flomos. Most boxing writers, critics and probably historians will wait for facts before ruining Pacquiao's reputation. Remember all this nonsense was started by a convicted felon and admitted drug user. How's that for reputation?

The problem with your argument is that Manny knew he was going to blow $ 40 million when he refused the test and filed a lawsuit against PBF and GBP, possibly because he didn't want to be pushed around and his reputation is more imporant to him than $ 40 million. While PBF had no intention of throwing away this fight and was probably surprised that Manny had the balls to. That's the difference. Manny knew he was going to lose money, while PBF lost it because his plan backfired. If his reputation was more important then he would have gone through with the tests. Now he will continue to be doubted and questioned about why he gave up the biggest fight in boxing, people will doubt him now for the rest of his career. Even if he takes the tests at a later date against Mayweather or someone else people will always wonder if he had something to hide during these negotiations. I've said it before and i'll say it again, nothing Mayweather or anyone else could have said to discredit Pac has cast more doubt on him then his own actions.

I really believe the object of the request for random blood testing and the recent accusations were all about playing mind games, as per PBF's customary pre-fight strategy. It was all about getting in Manny's head and make him blink. Unfortunately, this all backfired when Manny refused to agree to the demands, which is his right, as he has never tested positive for performance enhancing drugs in his entire career. There was no reason to test Manny with any kind of "alternative" or "additional" testing because he has always been clean. So why would you drive away an opponent that you think you would beat easily and make $ 40 million doing it? It doesn't make any sense. Now the plan has all but backfired and they may have to pay up if and when Manny wins his case against them. Floyd and his team are shaking their heads wondering where it all went wrong. They just blew $ 40 million and the chance to be on top of boxing, once again. Now that's just stupid business sense. And here I was, always calling PBF the smartest man in boxing. Dumb, dumb move. Maybe in September!
