Serious question, Was floyd scared to fight pac in 2009?

Yes he was. Team floyd invented some drug name that makes you walk thru a shot gun lol (search for links guys) He said he’s not gonna work with arum, he said manny doesn’t deserve 50-40% and should accept a flat fee. He said manny should sign to tmt promotions. But after 6 years when manny looked like shyyte already. Planked against marquez and can’t KO the algierias of the world. Suddenly he’s okay working with arum. He okay with 40% for pac. Didn’t matter where pac is signed lol Manny even sent Koncz to floyd’s camp to negotiate. What kind of scared fighter sends his manager to his opponent’s camp. While floyd was busy taking long vacations, “self preservation quotes”, rants on youtubes.. all the while laughing at pac “that he’s desperate for their fight” lol So true. Floyd had so many excuses and his fans don't want to admit that the main reason is that floyd was so scared to a prime pac.

well im not saying its true pac was doping but Floyds whole camp suspected Pacquiao was on something so before they wanted to fight him they wanted to call his bluff and see if he was willing to prove he is clean the fact he started messing around with cut off dates and saying he was scared of needles ect probably made Floyd think something fishy is going on so there was no fight for the record I blame them both for not making the fight for various reason between 09-10 we should have had one of the best fights in history instead we got a fight where they were both at id guess 70% of their peak regardless Floyd was and is the better fighter What is the main reason floyd demand those deug test? I think you have to admit that floyd was scared to death with pac.

Because he thought Pacquiao was juicing? You should be asking why that was a deal breaker for Pacquiao even though he ended up agreeing to it and a lower split eventually Floyd couldn't believe what he witnessed and started thinking maybe pac is on something and what pushing floyd to do such unprecedented demand? FEAR is the answer.

Funny how the world followed the a-side meth comments and turned it to ariza shakes. Floyd did pac dirty and ran with it cause y'all did. If y'all knew the a-side meth story and what it is and realize that a side meth story was what got this viral before social media was Poppin..crazy. Pacquaio used Meth as a professional though. No one knows to what extent but he admitted it was early in his career...crazy.

They offered Pac 50-50 with drug testing so no.

Scared? I don’t think so, but pac was on PEDs, and maybe Ployd was on PEDs too!

It took Pac to get KOed cold by a roided Marquez to then ask for testing.

No that wasn't my logic. I'm saying there is circumstantial evidence. If a guy refuses a drug test or gets caught with an illegal IV wouldn't that be suspicious? Both Floyd and Manny were suspect. If were just talking about suspicion, then yea, I agree with you.

By your logic, any fighter could have been on something. Why throw out accusations without proof? It is possible to have corruption and fighters who follow the rules at the same time.

I believe he was scared of losing to Pacquiao, yes. There is a reason why Floyd such became so adamant about drug testing all of a sudden. He saw the way Manny annihilated Hatton and Cotto, got spooked and demanded of Pacquiao something that he had never demanded of any other opponent. Of course Manny may have been on something but because of what we now know about USADA corruption and the IV scandal you would have to be an idiot or a fanboy to deny that Floyd was probably on some **** too.

I think the main reason is FEAR. Floyd couldn't believe what pac had done is possible.

You think floyd was scared that he thinks pac is on something?

You will be an old senior and still tell these stories to your grandchildren lol Your idol lost and he got over it. You should too. I'll always ask the people why floyd suddenly demand something that he didn't demand to his previous 40 fights. It could be that fear that push floyd?

I don't know, probably because why the hell should he give an inch to this person he believes is not negotiating in good faith? Remember, Floyd didn't ask anyone except Pac. Quite a compliment I think. Blame to go on both sides. But Pacquiao accepted the random testing and lower split eventually I mean least you can do is stick by your gun if you honestly believe that

at the end of the day, it will be floyd's legacy that gets affected by this. How much is unknown. When pundits discuss floyds ATG status, they always talk about something to the effect of "choosing opponents at the right time" type talk. I don't know how much it will affect his greatness, but I know its something the experts never forget. They seem to already forgotten because everyone rates him much higher than anyone else that fought in his era

I think no one can answer why floyd suddenly make a demand on pac that he hasn't done in his previous 40 fights. It could be that he's so scared that he can't believe what pac had done. Because he thought Pacquiao was juicing? You should be asking why that was a deal breaker for Pacquiao even though he ended up agreeing to it and a lower split eventually

I think PAC refusing to take the test is worse than Floyd requesting
