im not really a mayweather fan but this is not just his fault, he turned down pacquiaos proposal and pacquiao turned down mayweathers proposal so i guess they are both to blame. alot of people just agree with pacquiao because they are fans of his but maybe they should look at it from another point of view, imagine if mayweather had a problem with testing that pacquiao asked for he would be crucified for it and i'd bet my house on that. whos to say? manny might just have his heart set on that 8th belt and be using this as an excuse because foreman is a much easier fight than floyd and it makes history.Mayweather seals up coward legacy

Nobody knows how to screw up a so called legacy better than Floyd Mayweather Jr. He can also thank his father and his uncle for assisting with the destruction by launching steroid accusations to every boxing media source known to man. The Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Jr fight is officially off, and the blame has to land on the laps of the Mayweather team.
Mayweather walking away from this fight just throws fuel on the fire and all but seals up what all of his detractors have been saying for years, he's afraid to fight real competition. Mayweather will soon enough regret this decision. Ego, pride, and ignorance all mixed up into a bottle. These are the ingredients that one needs in order to successfully destroy a 30 million dollar prize.
How many times in ones life does a person have an opportunity to make 30 million dollars? Mayweather's legacy will most certainly go down as a man who cherry picked his opponents in order to gain advantage. Now he will be forever remembered as an undefeated fighter that fought smaller guys, and walked away from a 30 million dollar super fight. Now he will be remembered as a guy that most feel never wanted to fight Pacquiao in the first place.
Pacquiao has taken on all comers throughout his career. With his recent blowouts over De La Hoya, Hatton, and Cotto, he has sent a message. That message landed on Mayweather's head and it said, " Hey big fella, you ready to finally get some respect? Fight me." Mayweather read that message, and by walking away from this fight, he replied, "No thanks man, I think I will pass so I can keep this undefeated record."
This was a horrible decision for Mayweather to make. Not only for monetary reasons, but it also stinks up his legacy to the point where it's not fixable. The only way Mayweather salvages what's left of an already tarnished reputation is to change his mind and man up and fight Pacquiao. Until that happens, he's all but sealed up his reputation as a man that looked for the easy way out.

I look at it this way, the Pacman made concessions regarding the testing that were reasonable to Floyd's management team and according to the scientists that were involved in the negotiation process, they assured Pretty Boy that the testing would be fair and that he (Floyd) would not have anything to worry about.im not really a mayweather fan but this is not just his fault, he turned down pacquiaos proposal and pacquiao turned down mayweathers proposal so i guess they are both to blame. alot of people just agree with pacquiao because they are fans of his but maybe they should look at it from another point of view, imagine if mayweather had a problem with testing that pacquiao asked for he would be crucified for it and i'd bet my house on that. whos to say? manny might just have his heart set on that 8th belt and be using this as an excuse because foreman is a much easier fight than floyd and it makes history.
With all of these positive things in negotiation, Floyd STILL refused to accept the terms. WHY? Now you have to ask yourself whether Mayweather really wants this fight or not. The more you think about this, it gives you a clear indication that:
1) Floyd is afraid to fight the Pacman.
2) Floyd is afraid to receive his first defeat against the Pacman. or
3) He is just stalling and wants to fight the Pacman later down the road.
