How can people scrutinize Cottos people then do the same for Floyds!

    Cmon seriously. How did Floyd see the future and know that Pac would not want the fight because of his testing request....I mean seriously.

    I mean 99% of all fighters given the opportunity to fight for the biggest glory and largest payday of their career would say...."Hell yes test me lets do this"!
    Not often do we see millionaires or even billionaires turn down the amount of money Pac is...its odd.
    Hoya has more money than Pac and can you imagine him turning down that money and request? HELL NO!
    100% of fighters before Mayweather have been willing to accept the Commissions testing and go on with the fight. DLH always accepted his paycheck and NEVER asked for additional testing. Can you see him turning down 40mil unless a fighter took additional testing? Im not defending Pac I believe he should take the tests, but I also believe Mayweather should be willing to fight without them. Its also odd that Mayweather is scared enough of Pac doing roids(with no proof) that hes willing to turn down 40mil and find another opponent.

      WHats the answer?

      The timing? Because its Pac?

      Why not start from the top and work are way down. Which is easier then picking on fighters who are 3-0
      For all the talk negative talk about Floyd, he is THE highest paid and biggest name in boxing with Pac being a strong second.
      Floyd is ready to be a leader in boxing and make an good example for every boxer in his acceptance for testing.

      Imagine if in baseball, football or any sport, the most recognized name steps forward and says I would like to be tested and lead they way as an example to the sport. It is unheard of.
      Imagine Albert Pujols doing the same or Brett Favre.....it would be HUGE NEWS and a positive impact on the sport
      Imagine in football one team being unwilling to face another team in the Super Bowl unless the other team was subjected to random blood tests before the game. It would be ludicrous and completely unacceptable.

At 147 Floyd beats Manny but a true champ would jump at the opportunity to prove it and regardless of what Manny should do regarding the test Floyd is the one making demands and refusing to fight if they're not met. His whole argument was that Marquez gave Pac hell so he was as legitimate a challenge as Pac is where was Marquez drug tets?
        People fail to understand that Mayweather doesn't believe 50% of the crap he says. Deep down, he knows Pacquiao isn't an easy opponent. By the way, Mayweather isn't making demands, he's making "a" demand.

          That response is a bit elementary considering that we have found out that the Commissions testing methods are weak and it has been proven on this site by many and even boxers themselves have said this.

            Very good point. There's nothing wrong with what floyds team requested and there's nothing wrong with PAC team turning it down. But pac's team ruined it with their lame excuses.

              who the biggest star is arguable. How can you be so sure that mayweather is the biggest star when he just got outsold in ppvs by who you claim is the strong second? who the highest paid is also highly arguable.

              What is being lost here is Pac never refused to get tested. What is in contention is which organization is gonna do the bloodwork & how often.

              big difference.

                That's a bad comparison, we can't compare Boxing to a scheduled sport. You have no choice but to play the game of Football.

                    Ok then...I see that you and I are on different levels here.

                    A football team has 53 players on one team and have contracts to play the whole Year and for many years after....WTF
                    honestly I dont believe I am even entertaining this response.

                      Anyone asking for a 30 day cut off is refusing to be tested PERIOD. You're smarter then that Getsum.
