Remember this......

1) Manny Pacquiao and Freddie Roach call out Mayweather.
2) Silence from Floyd.
3) Manny says he's going to run for office and will NOT fight until after the elections.
4) Conveniently, Floyd NOW says he wants to fight Manny in March.
5) Manny says OK.
6) Silence from Floyd.
7) Freddie leaks insider information about Floyd wanting the fight at 154 with 10 oz gloves.
8) Floyd scrambling to save face, says he'll fight Manny at 147 with 8 oz gloves, but...
9) ...he wants there to be "Olympic Style" drug testing!
10) Manny says OK.
11) Silence from Floyd.
12) Now Mayweather apparently wants "Wiggle Room" with the 147lbs weight limit.

It seems the camp of undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr keeps raising different issues on a daily basis on the planned super fight against pound-for-pound king king Manny Pacquiao set for March 13 at either the $1.2 billion state-of-the-art stadium of the Dallas Cowboys or the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
It began when Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer at the last minute refused to fly to Dallas, Texas to meet with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones despite the fact that the trip had been talked about for days by the media.
Then the Mayweather advisers Leonard Ellerbe and Al Hayman demanded that Pacquiao undergo an Olympic-type drug testing with Ellerbe insinuating what Floyd Mayweather Sr has been openly alleging and that is, that Pacquiao is on some performance-enhancing drug despite the fact that Keith Kizer, Executive Director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission reiterated that the boxing hero had been tested before and after every fight and showed absolutely no trace of any illegal substance.
In their latest caper, according to Ringside Report by managing editor Geno McGahee, Mayweather Jr has threatened to pull-out over a weight issue. While Pacquiao agreed to put his WBO welterweight title on the line at 147 pounds and wants Mayweather to pay a huge penalty for every pound above the limit which would be a bigger amount than the $600,000 he paid Juan Manuel Marquez for being two pounds over the agreed limit in their October 2 fight. McGahee says Mayweather wants some “wiggle room” on the weight issue and this is being contested by Team Pacquiao.
Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach has made it clear that he doesn’t want Pacquiao who has risen to win seven world titles in seven different weight divisions to give Mayweather an undue weight advantage and rightfully so.
Ringside Report quotes a source as saying that the Mayweather camp has suggested an in-between bout in March with Pacquiao facing Yuri Foreman, the WBO light middleweight champion and Mayweather facing Matthew Hatton, the brother of Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton.
In an overseas telephone conversation with www.insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports, Arum said “your guess is as good as mine” when asked when a final agreement on the Mayweather fight could be expected.
The astute Top Rank promoter said “we solve one problem Mayweather makes another problem. Everyday, there’s another problem.” Arum added, “let’s see whether we can get it resolved tomorrow.
One of the issues up front is the venue with Dallas making a guaranteed $25 million offer but the MGM Grand the preferred choice of both Pacquiao and Mayweather who, according to David Mayo of the Grand Rapids Press, won’t fight in either Dallas or even the Staples Center which was initially mentioned by Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer. Mayo reported that Schaefer has to clear all decisions with the Mayweather people and they don’t want either Los Angeles or Dallas as the fight venue.ne

I don't have to read articles to figure how things went. We all remember that the word "vacation" was associated with Pacquiao for the first time after the Cotto fight two years ago. There was talk about his busted eardrum which Roach said will take a year to heal. Politics was also Pacquiao's main focus at the time. Out of the blue, Floyd pretended he wanted Pac only to dump a pile of roadblocks in it. Floyd clearly thought Pacquiao will say no as he always bragged about Pac not calling him out implying that he's scared of him. Things went in motion beyond Floyd's control and he had to invent excuses. Pacquiao's big mistake was not calling the bluffer's bluffs. The pretender would have been exposed early.

floyd will never run out of jokes.
might as well treat this floyd jr. a clown.
pacquiao with buboy singing "sometimes when we tats".

For 40 fights he never thought of demanding stringent testing until Pac came along. What a chicken. Pac eventually accepted KFC's silly tests and now he wants $100 million, which he denied demanding months ago. Typical of overrated boxers when avoiding risky fights. KFC's not only a chicken but a liar.

It's always gonna be something else with Floyd in regard to the Pacquiao fight. He's always gonna find a negotiation stopper in order to avoid the fight from being made. This is beyond ridiculous already. Floyd knows how much that precious little "0" means to his marketing power, because his fighting style does nothing for him. Currently, even after his last showing, Manny is the biggest threat to that "0"; Floyd is not going to fight him.

Worst kept secret in the world that floyd is scared of losing to Pac. The only time i believe Floyd will fight Pac is when they are in the ring, and not when Floyd signs the contract. Signing the contract wont make me believe. Only when i see floyd in the ring with Pac. But then i will think im dreaming.
There is a master thread for this crap. Keep it there.

This right here, i'm tired of seeing these ****ty threads pop up.
"Manny says ok" whats does that even mean? you're talking as if he is his own boss :nana:
"up to my promotor Bob Arum".
The fight was a done deal before the clottey fight until floyd brought up the BS blood testing.
Pac has since agreed to the blood tests.
Floyd is still ducking and dodging.
Floyd has since seen Pac make cotto look like a lil b*tch (floyd ducked Cotto for 6+ years)
Seen Pac break Margs orbital bone in and his fukkin face in half
See Pac make Mosley beg for the fight to be stopped and say it was the hardest hes ever been hit even tho he spars with USS Cunningham
Seen Marquez's face looks like the elephant man and saw one of the greatest displays of head movement and footwork ever in the sport
To sum it up - floyd has to keep coming up with excuses because he knows he would get his ass kicked and thats all there is to it
good stuff here, less the Marquez fight description. Nevertheless, useable information to backtrack the sequence of events, thanks.

First Floyd wanted the Pacquiao fight because of Pac looked against Marquez, despite Floyd saying he wants Pacquiao 10 days before the Marquez fight, and even predicted Pacquiao will win.
Now, forget it, Floyd was pretending all along. He is pretending to want to cherrypick Pacquiao.
