    In other words, let's go by the commission law unless I don't want to. And making your own penalties for going overweight was something new too. You understand where I'm coming from, Dirk?

The gloves, same thing, no rules and regulations. Both issues are within the rights and will between the two parties negotiation agreement. So Please explain.
      Is Floyd not one of if not the biggest name in boxing? Why shouldn't he have the authority to change it? It's his sport, he's in it, he's a fighter, he has a voice. He's been part of the biggest Money fight in boxing history. He has all the authority to change it.

          No...that's not the rule. The rule is that a man can come in at any weight he feels like within that class. Pacquiao set a cap. Why? Because the commission's rules are crap and we all know it.

          The commission has it's own penalties for those who go over, yet Pacquiao set his own numbers for the Oscar fight and the Mayweather fight. Why? Because the commission's rules are crap and we all know it.

          Stringent tests? Umm...let's go by the commission rules.

            When it comes to the commission Team Pac will abide by the rules they dont like and change the ones they dont. The word they use for that is Negotiations. If this was any other sport then maybe I would say who is this guy trying to change the rules, but boxing has no rules, it has no rule that can't be negotiated.

              Unless you are a true novice the boxing commission doesn't decide anything. Boxing has no league, fighters and promoters do as they please. In boxing you can force any kind of negotiation, fighters typically respond with "only if the money is right" In the case of Pac-Mayweather the money is right so what Pac got to be scared of.

              If Mayweather is so Gay, runner, pillow fist, then why is he worried about being weak from a blood test. What's Gayweather going to do to him in the ring, Oscar, Cotto, Hatton couldn't?
              The comission has drug testing in place. Ive never heard of any boxer implementing their own without good cause. Money is something that is negotiated. Completely different.

              As for your next part. Im a big fan of neither guy. I think Mayweather would dominate Pacquiao and he seemed to think the same. By the same token, Mayweather said this was an easier fight than Marquez so why is he so worried?

                Nope because there was a precedent as Mayweather came in over last time. 10m is too much but at least Team Pac have something backing up their case,

                Team Mayweather have no case.

                  Pac fans should just admit that they dont care if he is juicing or not, if Nevada and their inadequate testing methods says he's clean thats all they care about.

                      What was the precedent for the Cotto fight?
