let me translate this..... It was a perfect world until a little Asian guy came along and stole the thunder. Get over it. Until Manny retires or someone dethrone his ass...hes the hottest thing in Boxing. Its not bad that he has fans...nor is it for the Floyd fans. Thats what we do..Comment

I think what people are not recognizing is that all this post-negotiation posturing between the Mayweather and Pacquiao camps is a result of the fact that neither of them can actually come out and say that they arent agreeing to the others terms "Because they just dont want to." So now we have Floyd (unconvincingly) acting as the champion for "cleaning up the sport" and Pacquiao (also unconvincingly) coming up with reason after reason for refusing the testing. Pacquiao cannot realistically tell the American sports media, "I'm not agreeing to the testing because i dont like that ****er, and I wont play by his rules, not matter what", not if he wants to cross over into an American sports personality/star. Maywetaher can't sya "Just playin guys I really dont give a **** about testing if it isnt essential for negotiations." not if he wants to maintain his credibility. So you have these two guys playing out the roles they have been cast in. Now its also important to note that Mayweather has won this exchange, as im certain he inteded too. Beng Floyd Mayweather JR., there is no other fighter in the world, besides Pacquiao (and maybe Vlad Klitschko and Bernard Hopkins but they wont be fighting Floyd anytime soon) who can refuse Floyd's testing termsi n a fight contract. Therefore, Mayweather has nothing to lose by merely enforcing testing form here on out in his own fights. Pacquiao on the other hand now has some cleaning up of his image to do, which i think (at least in regards to accusations of PED abuse) is undeserved. If Pacquiao never accepts the terms and fights Mayweather he will have some explaining to do, so essentially hes going to have to accept the terms at some point. it will be interesting to see how team Pacquiao spins it, but regardless I think (and hope) the fight will get made later this year.Comment

Stop talking to me, I was talking to S A M. The guy who literally HATES Floyd for what he does OUTSIDE the ring, but said out of his mouth he does not care about what Manny does OUTSIDE the ring and Manny just cheated on his wife. I'm calling him out on that nonsense.
And stop talking to me.Comment
