    i didn't agree with that either.

    i thought it was too high an amount and silly.



    there is a little difference between those 2 outrageous demands though.

    1. pacquiao's demands only apply if mayweather doesn't make weight.

    2. floyd's demands apply period.

    3. pacquiao's demand was outrageous in value but the request itself (the amount aside) is quite normal and has happened before. mayweather and pacquiao's last fight included.

    4. floyd's demand is unprecedented. i could be wrong but i've never heard of a demand like this before. it's usually the commissions and governing bodies that requires testing not individual fighters.

        Is pretty much a matter of principle.
        I didn't see Floyd ask Pac to pay 10 million for every pound he was over.
        How about that for principal?
        Wasn't that a "Co-worker" asking a ridiculous demand? Floyd agreed Why cant Pac?

          Well they've asked for it. And it's actually a good request. So now you don't want to do everything you just said you agreed to because Mayweather asked? Didn't the Commission agree? Therefore Mayweather's request has been approved by this Commission and that is not the issue.

            dude talk to someone else.

            you ask me to provide a link when later you admitted to reading the same thing.

            all this talk because you don't like me saying 20 tests instead of being more specific and say 5 blood tests?

            buzz off.

              Nothing to do with principle , this is a 40 mill professional prize fight we are talking about , one combatant wants the most accurate testing to make sure its a fair fight and everybody is clean ,,,, its not much to ask as your only demand while agreeing to all of the other parties demands including first ever ridicules 10 mill forfeit ,,,,, this drug thing is black and white and the world media wont let Manny walk away with it given lame excuses .

                    1) Pac demand applies only if Mayweather doesnt make weight not if pac doesnt.
                    2) Floyd's demand applies to both fighters not just Pac
                    3) When has someone ask the other opponent pay 10 million for every pound??
                    4) Floyd's demand is nothing new in sport maybe boxing but not in sport. And a fighter has all the right to ask a different testing as long as both are getting the same treatment.

                      All this talk about 20 tests and you really didn't care about the urine tests? And I never admitted to reading the same link so I don't know what you're talking about. But yeah, keep whining about Manny peeing 12 times.
