The Real Reason Pacquiao-Mayweather Fell Apart?

[Bogler]

this quote was RIGHT AFTER the cotto fight? of course anyone would say that, even manny himself might've, considering the injuries. but he eventually healed a month later and their team officially said manny is healed and ready. lol at the *****s jumping on this thread right away. please use your common sense.

if the manny does do poorly then many will just make the assumption theres the before and the after ...

Maybe but people will also be talking about how great Floyd looked. It would be funny because Floyd would then be defending Manny.

Roach knew they weren't ready.

I agree

but why would he (roach) accept the test and willingly say they would take them only to backtrack and say no

it makes no ****ing sense to me whatsover

I honestly feel Roach was all for the tests until he realized it was random testing. Pac wanted to be tested 3 times only.

This was January 15th, 2010. There's no ****ing propaganda going on here just because it says some **** you don't like, it is what it is.

If the fight happeans later this year, this is basically what went down. If it all goes according to plan that was like a masterpiece of playing the boxing world in the internet age.

Yeah, they both want to fight each other, but the March 13 date was just too soon. The elections made everything feel so rushed. Once they have enough time to negotiate, this fight will pull together, probably later on around September.

When some Pac fans were screaming that Mayweather is ducking Pac after listening to Roach i said it at that time that a March 13th fight would not be in the best interest of Pac or an unbiase fan who is lookiing for a 50-50 fight, Because there is NO way Pac would be ready for Mayweather in March after a brutal fight against Cotto.

But all they were doing was screaming just because Roach said Mayweather doesnt want to fight us in March, Mayweather accept the fight then they looked for a way out, They thought they had it with the 10M dollar ridiculous penalty but to everyones surprise Mayweather said yes to that too, They had to go back and reject the same olympic style testing that they had already accept from the beginning.

The fight would happen for september and Pac would say yes to testing watch.

This is ridiculous. All Mayweather had to do is to drop the PED testing demands. It's not like Pac disagreed completely. As a local Nevada news says during the early negotiations, Pac agreed far and above the current testing rules.

In my understanding, the FM team made the first move. March 13, they challenged. (This knowing full well that Pac has just been through a difficult fight with Cotto. Not to mention Pac was deep into politics.) This got Arum excited and went to Manila to convince Pac. Pac said yes. All of a sudden, the mudslinging and vicious accusations started, c/o Mayweather team. It's as if they're surprised that Pac agreed to the March date.

Bottom line is the slandering from the PB camp made the negotiations difficult. In the end we have one on the other end so pissed that he's no longer interested in listening.
