Only an idiot thinks Clottey is an easy fight. Floyd wont even mention Clottey fighting him.

I will simplify my previous post to you because I don't think you got it.
your question: why would pac turn down $40 million
my answer: because he as something called pride. he's never tested positive for anything and the only people accusing him (or ever accusing him) are his opponent and his opponent's promoters/team. he doesn't feel like he has to jump through hoops for them. both pac and floyd have huge egos (that maybe the problem now) they're not going to budge if they think they're going to lose face.
he agreed to 3 tests and wanted a 30 day cutoff. it then went into mediation and then the days got chopped down to 24 (can't remember if this was unlm. blood) with unlimited urine tests.
Did I attack you about being a Floyd fan? I merely said it goes both way, Floyd could have just as easily agreed to 24 days and gotten his $40 million.
And BTW, Floyd has made it well known that he's his only boss, he has no real promoter so a big chunk of this fight money would go to him with a small fee going to GBP. (not including the irs and the debt creditors)
As for your post to where you called someone a **** for writing a pro-Pac posting, not cool. Nice talking to you, later.
LOL!!!!!!

what I see, Manny is about his paper especially watching
how he negotiated his fights with Oscar, Hatton and Cotto.
If Pride played a factor for real then Manny would have took
the tests, came out clean and told Floyd Sr, Jr and Golden Boy
to kiss his ass and went to fight and try to beat Floyd. Manny
didn't do none of that. That is a lot of money to just blow off
because of a certain time frame to take some simple blood
tests? I'm still scratching my head off that one.

De La Hoya lost on the scale. Hatton was done when he fought Manny. Cotto was a shell of his former self when he fought Pacquiao thankz to the beating he took at the hands of Margarito and Clottey. Mayweather moved up in weight to fight De La Hoya, he didn't make him fight at a weight he hadn't reached in almost a decade.
It's a shame the world won't get to see Mayweather outbox the **** out of Pacquiao.
Clottey is definately a huge test for Pacqiao and a fight I am actually excited 2 watch.
Mayweather vs. Malignaggi is a joke. I would love to see Mayweather fight the winner of Berto vs. Mosley or Paul Williams.

miss and pay all day. PLUS Paul is not even that big of a puncher.
Martinez was countering him like nothing at times. I give Williams
the benefit of the doubt because he fought Martinez on short
notice and Sergio is a very good fighter, so credit to Paul. But
don't see Mayweather getting beat ONLY if Floyd can't adapt
to Paul's pressure.

Moral of this whole story, never put a mic in front a crackhead or his son. I think this whole thing started because Sr saw some white powder on the top of the microphone and just started talking.

Wanna bet that if in the off chance that he grows a set, which is unlikely and decides to fight Shane, he won't ask for additional blood tests, even thought Shane has tested positive in the past for PEDs?Last edited by switchsouthpaw; 01-09-2010, 04:05 AM.
