So far, i've heard:
1. If he makes too much money this year, the I.R.S will take more money from him.
2. Rogers upcoming trial will effect training, etc.. (which in my opinion is valid, although Rogers lawyers have the ability to push the trial date back till after the fight in November)
3. If Floyd doesnt get 60/40 and OSDT up till fight night, he shouldnt fight him.
4. There isnt even a contract. Its all talk from Arum (Even though Oscar went on live TV to state a deal was close to being reached)
List any additional excuses you've heard thus far.
Manny never said that he wont take the test. It was a cutoff date that they couldnt agree on. Now if rumor is correct, Pac has agreed to Floyd's testing demands. It'll be interesting to see if that is indeed a fact. Floyd will have egg all over his face if true.
Deevel your a good dude. You know Bob prob agreed to the January stips that floyd took off the table. May 1 national TV floyd sayd 0 days or no fight. If Bob sent this over and floyd refuses then he deserves to be sh!tted on. Otherwise Bob is a staright beyyotch and is taking an opportunity away from Manny ebcause he wants to keep him from looking bad so he can make more dough off him.
Dunn my mate!
We only knew that Manny's excuse for the OST was it weakens him, I know it's shite but to each his own. But the rest of the BS excuses are spawned by his Team.
LOL I sound living in the past, none of those matter anymore, why did I even answer your post?
I know I just wanted to jab a lil bit.
Its actually quite sad when fans of a certain fighter are more concerned with thier fighter winning the political and negotiation battle, rather than getting in the ring and just fighting.
It's easier to watch the amateur fights and the up and coming boxers than multimillionaires bashing each others brains out. Less drama.
Floyd has fought without Roger b4 (Baldomir). Plus, Roach made Pac into the fighter he is today. Cant say the same about Roger. Floyd Sr is who made Floyd into the fighter he is today. Roger merely took over after all the ground work was laid.
why do you make sense?
this is NSB.
Floyd is too busy counting his money from his last fight...there are tax deductibles after all....he barely reached a hundred grand because his accountant could not differentiate a decade from a tax deductible yacht. :p

floyd makes as many excuses not to fight as manny makes to not take tests. would you agree with that?

If it makes Manny, it makes no sense.
Floyd is young, healthy und rich. He has to take responsibility for his family. Manny Pacquiao is a killer, and he would make Floyd a vegetable. It's not ducking, it's called survival instinct.
lol, i have to admit, this one had me laughing. Good one.
6. He's busy with other business ventures and his summer youth boxing camp.

...so a fighter is getting ready to enter the biggest fight of his career and he shouldn't care about which trainer he has in his corner on that night? If Floyd is most comfortable with Roger in his corner then its Roger that need to be there. It doesn't matter who is the better trainer, or what fans think, its up to the fighter.
Heck, this is Bob Arum's own excuse...and it is legitimate. So you fail.
If u read my opening post, in parenthesis I stated that this is indeed a valid excuse, although for the amount of money that's on the line for this fight, they have the ability to have the trial date pushed back till after the fight.

Not necessary ... just look at the replies (and who they are from) and you will see :-)
The majority of those points came from Bob Arum actually.
Keep up boy
Arum stated that he understood if Floyd didnt want to fight due to not having Roger in his corner. That's all i've heard from him, and many non floyd fans agree with this.
