    It's not even about steroids anymore...

    It's about pride.. if floyd offers 23 days pac would say no and if pac offers 15 days floyd would say no.. Both in essence want to say, see I'm the man he caved in on my demands, because quite frankly whats the difference between 24 to 14 days?? and thats what's even more frustrating as a fan.. I just didn't expect this to spin out of control like this..

    riiiggghhhttt, so I'm going to walk away from $30 million on the table because of 'pride'?

    But I'm not too proud to ask Miguel Cotto to come down to 143 while putting his 147 belt on the line?

    Pride? Please.

        I totally agree. Pac is just as strong minded as Mayweather and won't give in - no matter how trivial the point.

          we'll floyd's about to walk away from $30 mill too.. so??? why you think b-hop vs. RJJ 2 didn't happen even tho there was so much demand for it?? because niether of them could agree with the anything and wanted to impose there will on each other.. they could have made alot of $$$ but ego's prevented it.. same thing happening here..

            Um, no. Bhop RJJ 2 would have been an argument over the split. The Pac-FMJ fight was already agreed to 50/50. The only reason it didn't come off was because Pac refused randomized blood testing during the 24 days leading up to the fight. The guy walked away from a historic payday because (officially) he felt like he needed more than 3.****ing.weeks to recover in case they drew a teaspoon of blood on that last day.

            And that doesn't smell fishy to you?

              It was always about prinicple and FLoyd never ever had a shot at winning the battle.

              Because Manny doesn't need Floyd, it's the other way around. More people will realize this soon enough hopefully..

                  this really should be a non issue because Roach was qouted as saying all he need was a 5 day window and that would be fine..check the sig

                  Floyd says 14 which should work because Roach wanted 5..therefore, take the 14 because it is 9 WHOLE DAYS MORE than what Roach was fine with.

                  is that reasonable??

                    why is it fishy when he is agreeing to do much much more tests than the normal testing?? 3 blood tests and random urinalysis aint enough?? And why dont floyd fight pac like he did his past 40 opponents? why would he walk away from such a payday after all he's been saying it's an easy fight..
