Mayweather turned the offer down"

$10 mil for every pound over 147lb limit......due to Floyd coming in over the contracted weight of 144lbs against Marquez.....as if Floyd needed it.

If you saw something else....you are trippin.

Dude, put your Pacquiao homerism away for just one minute. Why would they even ask for such a demad right after they refuses for take the test randomly? At first Floyd wanted to fight in May, but they said if he doesn't fight Manny in March, they would moved on, Floyd agreed. When Floyd asked for his testing demand that's when Team Pacquiao started panicking with all their silly excuses and hints about moving on. Again think about the situation as a Boxing fan, yes Floyd has no right to ask for that type of resquest since Manny hasn't tested positive before, but neither has Floyd. 600, 000 - 3,000, 000 dollars penalty would of been enough. They asked for the 10 Million because they know how sensitive Floyd is about his money. They know that he wouldn't come above the fight weight limit, but they asked for that much kind of money simply to try to make Floyd backed off from his request, which he didn't. Team Pacquiao didn't want this fight, with all their hints and excuses, only Pacquiao fans would say he wanted the fight from the beginning.

Bold #1 - So me pointing out Floyd's disregard of the contracted weight against Marquez validates you to tell me to put my "so called Pacquiao Homerism away for just one minute".........OK...that's just fact.

Bold # 2 - I am thinking about this ****** situation as a BOXING FAN....as I've stated...Manny should've taken the tests from JUMP.....if he has superstitions regarding blood being drawn, who are we to say otherwise, AS BOXING FANS.

I am giving Pacquiao the benefit of the doubt regarding his SUPERSTITION about drawing blood.....other elite athletes have them too...but not to a blood drawing degree....

Jordan wore North Carolina shorts under his Bulls shorts......Tiger always wears red on Sundays.....Gretzky tucked one side of his hockey jersey in....lists go on and on.....BUT...Manny should just agree to take the random tests.....

My whole take is...negotiations went too far, both have huge egos and neither wants to bow to the demand of blood testing.....

But why diddn't Golden Boy / Team Mayweather even give Jerry Jones the courtesy of going out to Texas and discussing the fight happening there? I understand Golden Boy has a business relationship with MGM, but business is business, and the thought of having 100,000 potential BOXING FANS, not celebrities, present at the fight of the decade, coupled with record setting PPV numbers should've at least tempted Schafer to fly out and decline Jerry Jones in person no?

So if someone defends a fighter....do you jump on them and place them in the category "*******", "*****", "Coto Stans" etc.....

Real boxing fans don't accuse others of being loyal to one fighter.....real boxing fans look at the big picture and the integrity of the sport....not calling another fan names.

I have defended Floyd in the past, but for some reason, it has become harder to defend him by his actions.

Manny on the other hand, uses actions to speak for himself, not Bob, not Roach who speak for themselves, who think they speak for Manny.

And again....Manny's actions of not agreeing to the supposed 14 day window presented from Floyd are su****ious, but at the same time...he has never failed a banned substance test.

And if I did have a favorite fighter....his name is Andre Ward.
