Floyd Mayweather's own absent demand of blood from all of his previous fights in the whole of his career until the possibility of facing Manny Pacquiao.

No it was the one demand he made from the get go and even brought it back to 14 days before the fight, which was more than reasonable. It really should be the standard so that there is a level playing field.

it depends on if the one demanding blood testing is known to avoid the biggest fights because he's scare of losing his 0.
It is when you know the opponent will be weakened and had lost a fight due to blood test so close to the fight. Are you serious? Have you watched Morales Pac 1 & 2, if not please do. In both post fight interviews Pac never once mentioned being weak from a blood test. He blamed the gloves, the head butt and that's it. He did that in both interviews.
Pac lost the first fight for 2 reasons 1 Morales just plain beat him, 2 if Pac was weak it was from draining to make weight.
If u knew anything youds know Pac was killing himself to make weight.
I'm not trying to argue or anything, just pointing to some facts that maybe u didn't know. Start looking this stuff up instead of just youtubing pro pac vids for info. Its out there man, don't just go by what's said when u can look it up urself
Your avatars say that you must agree with each other lol.
I agree with you that it was hoya's fault for picking on a smallfighter after promising to fight the winner of the cotto-margo fight. On hindsight after what they discovered on margo's gloves, I'm glad it was pac who hoya fought and pac has only mayweather to thank.
So you see, these boxers should be thanking each others instead of talking trash. Leave the trash talking to roach, floyd sr, flomos and pactards. lmao
Your avatar says that you musy agree with the TS.
I agree with the Margarito thing, fair enough... but this is a competitive sport, fighters aren't going to thank each other, especially Floyd and Manny because at the moment they are rivals and they are a threat to each other.
I am not saying Manny ducked Floyd, I was agreeing with the part where he said Manny demanding extra things is no different from Floyd demanding extra things. At the end of the day they're both to blame, and I can understand them both. If Floyd had not demanded it in the first place there wouldn't have been the problem... but I understand that he wants to ensure that fair play is in order in an already rough sport, and if Manny had accepted Floyd improvisation of 14 days (Manny initially wanted 30, Floyd 0... so Floyd offered to meet in the middle) then there wouldn't have been any problems either, but I still kinda understand why they are confused about the sudden changes, even though I think the random blood testing is a good idea.
You can blame them both really, instead of calling one ducking the other, its that simple.
Not ducking. This one is a no brainer. Pac only has to take a test and the fight goes on.
What's so intimidating about that?
I don't buy it! Somebody isn't saying something. Like Roach said "I"d take it"
My guess is that alex told team pac what's really in those vitamin packs.
No its not ducking.
Floyd asked Shane Mosley. Shane accepted and the fight was signed.
/threadGood answer, except that you answered another question but I agree with you totally.
I agree with everything except the bold, there wasn't a dehydration clause apparently. It was the fact that DLH put that much tension on his body to make weight that he didn't rehydrate properly I think. It was DLH's fault for trying to pick on a small guy and thinking he would make WW okay, his mistake and he paid for that mistake.Your avatars say that you must agree with each other lol.

ok ok ok ok thats fine with me:boxing:
this is an extra demand yes sir
but asking miguel cotto to fight him at a catchweight 4 his title was also an extra demand
delahoya's re hydration clause was an extra demand
and asking floyd this 10mil for extra pound was also an extra demand so...

I don't think it's either. I think Floyd is slightly intimidated by Pacquiao, and wanted to gain a mental advantage, which backfired, as Pac declined to take the test.Hey wangler, for a moment there I thought your handle is wanker. LOL j/k

Forget about the cotto fight, it's over and I'm a big cotto fan.
Pac said he ain't abiding by mayweather's rule. I understand what you're saying but we fans ain't the ones fighting in the ring, it's them fighters who's gonna risk their lives so let's just wait and see who'll give up in the end.
This si becoming redundant but there's a commision to take of drug tests. It's an extra demand that floyd knew pacquiao wouldn't acquiese to which make people suspect if he's hiding something. On the other side of the fence, people are thinking that pacquiao is afraid of mayweather for refusing to take a 40 million drug test.
The thing is, if pac ain't getting 40 million and so with mayweather unless it's true that he's getting 40 million in fighting mosley which many people think is highly unlikely.
