And notice how Floyd complied to meet all of their demands to make this fight happen.

Just answer one question for me..... Who didn't want to take random blood tests throughout training?

Answer one question for me....who has never previously asked any other fighter he has faced (say that loosely) to take a drug test? Don't answer that it was rhetorical, we all already know the answer---> Floyd Mayweather.

Second question, why is Manny the exception and why now?<---answer that question.

Everybody seems very negative about Malinaggi, I don't know why?

This could be a very interesting matchup. Malinaggi is very brave, great chin, clever boxer, and is always prepared to "put his money where his mouth is".

And, don't forget, if Arum thinks it's a good replacement, the chances are that it is, and will be.

Arum takes great pride on making good fights and good matchups, unlike Goilden Balls, and is undoubtedly the premier promoter in the business, by a large margin.

So I'm inclined to think that it would be an entertaining fight at least.


And, although he doesn't have a great punch, if he catches Manny coming in, the way Mayweather and Manny both caught Hatton, he can hurt a guy.

Just my opinion....

TBH, Pac should not sue May and then agree with Bob Arum to fight the guido. Paulie deserves a lawsuit just as much as Floyd, NOT a megapayday. Bring on Bradley, Mosley/Berto or Foreman instead.

I've been saying this all along

Floyd don't want to fight.

the Mayweathers are shook, Floyd is scared ****less! they don't want none

first 154lbs w/ 10oz gloves, then olympic style testing, then a little "wiggle room", 50/50 gazillion dollars not enough, and now a blood draw a day before the fight. wtf?

Floyd don't want none

easy fight, easy work? yeah right. you scared, yous a *****!

Heres where you sound ******, he agreed to 147lb, 8oz gloves, and 10 million dollars penalty.....pac cant take a simple tablespoon of blood???? AND PBF A ***** RIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHTTT

[deejd]

No, Maybe PAC is physically cheat.

Could be indeed.... not saying he is.... but could be indeed

[deejd]

the damage suit will bring more than $40M...... easy
manny wll hit them hard where it really hurts...their pockets!!

I doubt that case makes it to court, and if he does, he can only get Floyd Sr. and we all know Floyd Sr. doesn't have $40 million.

And we all know that case won't bring "justice" to Manny since his image in boxing has been tarnished by his decisions over the last week.... oh and we all know he's not making a number anywhere close to that guaranteed $25 million and instead opting to fight "ey yoo, Paulie."

[deejd]

paulie will be a tune-up for mosley-berto lineal champ fyt!!
the timing is just ryt.....manny can fyt mosley-berto in march!!

AH-HA....AH-HA.... HAHAHAHHAHAHA. You better hope that's not Manny's "tune-up."

[deejd]

wtf?!!? how in the hell is this fight being made.. cant they find someone else?..

Oh yeah, they can. But, they won't. Kind of like how Pacquiao can take the random blood tests, but he won't.

[deejd]

The burden of proof rests on the shoulders of the claimant not the accused. It's up to Golden Boy to prove their accusations, not for Manny to disprove them and do there job for them.

Usain Bolt has been accused of using performance enhancing drugs, you know what he said, "I'll take any test that they want me to take." And you know what he has done, taken every test that he's been called on to take and still smashed world records.

So if Mayweather Jr. Leonard Ellerbe, and Richard Schaefer who have never outright accused Manny and said "Manny you're on steroids, you're cheating", and have decided that they want to add one single stipulation which was random blood testing and he declines.... okay, don't take the test, leave a question mark on your reputation, and go fight "ey yoo, Paulie."

The greatest in every sport are subjected to these questions and they willfully comply with every test that's given. Some pass and some fail, but fact of the matter is that they do it.

You want to lobby for Pac and his team's ignorant excuses, go ahead my friend. Enjoy Pacquiao-Malignaggi on March 13th since one of the two "greatest" fighters on the planet refused to take a few random blood tests for one of, if not, the biggest fights in the history of boxing instead. Not because he's on steroids, because he's not comfortable taking a few random blood tests.

But wait... did you initially answer the question I put out there. If you answer that question first, then you answer why this fight didn't happen. It's that simple.

Once again switchsouthpaw (most likely a bandwagonner hence the "switch") answer the initial question....

Who refused to agree to random blood testing?
