If Mayweather wanted it done, it would be done. On the few occasions he chooses to speak publicly about the talks, he routinely mentions he's the more powerful A-side in the talks.
That unquestionably is true.
But then he'll bring up the nonsense that he repeatedly spews – which his fans repeat like clapping seals – that he's the boss and Pacquiao is simply an employee of Top Rank.
The insinuation is that it's tougher to make the fight because Pacquiao doesn't run his own promotional company, though clearly that has nothing to do with making the fight.
Let's be honest, though: If Mayweather truly were the boss, it would be his adviser, Al Haymon, who would be getting punched in the face.
Backclash will be too severe now for mayweather if no fight
Especially as the mainstream media outlets like ESPN and yahoo will report that he was at fault
Common sense dictates that the fight is gonna happen. Weeks of negotiating ...to not fight?
If Fairy Floyd is scared of getting hurt Why does he try to impersonate a prize fighter????:liar:
Health come first, look at Ali. He was forced to have fights that he didn't want, look at him now.
If Mayweather gets hurt will Kevin pay Floyd's bills for the rest of his life...if not the STFU.
this rite here! all u hatters need to S.T.F.U unless u willing to pay TBE bills for the rest of his life. and trust me u cant afford it!
Why should there be any need for extra testing Fight should have been held under Nevada rules not Floyd's rules:bottle:
The extra testing is needed in case Floyd KO's Manny we don't have a year and a half of whiny, ***** a$$ Manny fans creating "Floyd is a steroid cheat" threads like we saw after JMM KO'd Manny.

Can't force someone to take drug testing in boxing, brah.

What was unprecedented (at that time) was the enhanced drug testing. Weight clauses were not unprecedented, you just mean the dollar amount of the penalty. Floyd had agreed to the same clause against Marquez and weighed in at what he was comfortable with while paying the chump change relative to the millions he was making.
In my post I did say the fee, not the clause.
I didn't want to respond and risk your tears shorting out my tablet. The poster said unprecedented, that fee was unprecedented. There was a history of Floyd paying the standard overweight fee as boxers had before him.
As for tests, both boxers would be taking tests, not just one of them. As for name calling, see what Frazier and Griffith did to opponents that called them names.
They didn't cowardly walk away from the fight.

You're going to cry about making sure a guy who makes 10s of millions doesn't have to pay a petty fee to come in overweight? There was actually history of Floyd agreeing to a catch weight and then disregarding it to get an advantage. That weight penalty is in no way like accusing someone of cheating and then demanding they do an non standard test. But you know this. You just need to ttalking point to try to grab onto.

You mean like $10 mil overweight fee or you referring to something else? Respectfully, we don't know what was in the contract.

You know why this endless threads about this.
It's about putting pressure on Floyd to move out of his mouse hole.
Boxing writers are now pushing him to the brink. No choice, he is boxed in.
He has to man up or forever be called a pussay.
There are no more excuses from either side. If this fight doesn't get made who ever is the culprit is going to look very bad.
He wasn't asked to accept any unprecedented clauses either.

I hope this fight gets signed soon so people can shut up already about the contract. Endless threads on the same topic
