NOBODY was concerned before

I'm saying Pacquiao and his team went back on their word alot. The lies/ contradictions were easy to spot.

That also can be simply over too many people in one camp having too much free access to the press. It could also be a result of clashing Egos and Diva personalities. It does not imply guilt at all. It simply implies that both sides egos simply got too big and wanted things their own way.

Only good comes out of this if it effects boxing as a whole. If its just a way to give another prima donna boxer what he wants when he wants, it really hasn't done anything but hold up or prevent a huge fight from happening. Im hoping it will effect boxing as a whole, but Im skeptical.

Never know untill you try.


By the way, I slightly favor Pacquiao over Mayweather.

I cannot call the winner simply because I am not sure how good Floyd is at this stage of his career. The JMM fight was a poor barometer for me as JMM went up in weight and had to change from being a counter puncher to an aggressor.

If Floyd is in top form, Manny is going to find it really tough. If he is not, Manny's chances increase dramatically.

Get the fuck outta here!! If the fight happens I'll be rooting for Manny, but I'll give you 2 to 1 odds Floyd wins.

Pacquiao and his team's requests were all agreed to.

I'd feel so wrong betting against Floyd. WEIRD. I'll have to think this one through, but I will hit you up.

Yes but their demands were not over the top. Some say the 10 million thing was but that was just a check to keep Floyd honest because of what happened in the JMM fight. Everything else was standard.

Corrales/ JLC couldn't make weight. The body can still mature in the mid to late 30s. Take Nate Campbell for example, he spent hours and hours trying to lose 2-3 pounds for the Funeka fight, and he couldn't.

Yes but the implication was Floyd could still make the desired weight. We all know how paranoid Roach is when it comes to Manny's opponents weight. They simply did not want Floyd to try any funny business. Simply put they know how good Floyd is, how Manny is treading in new waters weight wise and wanted to keep it close.

I found that demand foolish but easy to abide by. We all know Floyd would have trained his ass off for a Manny fight simply because coming in anything less than 100% could be disastrous for him.

Very simple question. Why was NOBODY concerned before about OST until Floyd decided this was a deal breaker to fight Pac? No one was worried about it. No one was saying a word. All of a sudden Pac should have to do this after being slandered? Floyd never worried about this until a fight with Manny was being discussed. All of a sudden he should be able to change the rules at his own whim? Bull****. If the governing bodies or state athletic commissions put this rule in effect and Pac refuses.....its all on him. Until that time Floyd is the one I see holding up the fight by trying to make his own rules. I don't want to hear anything about Floyd meeting Pacs demands. Fact is Manny didn't slander Floyd and try changing any rules. If Floyd wants this fight he can follow the same rules as everybody else. If he can't accept those rules, like he always did before, he doesn't really want to fight.

A lot of people seem to want to blame Pac. Where were all you people, and why weren't you worried before?

I can only speak for myself on this case.

Before the OST fallout, I would have never given it even a thought that Pacquiao may be using steroids. But because Pacquiao refused the OST, you have to give it some thought. This is a sport, enhancing drugs are unfair, anyone in any sport who refuses a drug test deserves a second thought. Refusing a drug test in a sport, makes you look shady.

I personally don't think he does steroids to be honest.
