At the end of the day,Manny's team threw out a bunch of requests that were meant to intimidate Floyd out of taking a fight with Manny.Even during serious negotiations Manny's team was looking for several other options (which included Paulie Malignaggi).Arum had acted like a selfish and whinging bear overprotecting his cash cub and declaring the fight off many times.In fact,if you look at most of Manny's recent negotiations (eg.Cotto,Oscar,and Ricky)-the fights were called off several times.
You would have to be blind not to realize that Manny has made it very tough to try and get a fight with-and when it came to a style of fighter that can expose Manny's flaws,then the fight again,was called off many times.
The simple question is to ask-
Who demanded the most demands out of negotiations and who took a fight first when negotiations were a problem? Instead of compromising,Manny acted like a drama queen and a primadonna and signed a fight with a guy who will be remembered for stinking out the largest fight of his and Manny's career...(and wasn't deserving of a title shot after losing his last fight-another title shot)Last edited by damned1974; 03-15-2010, 12:21 PM.Comment

The Commision of course should mandate OSDT of course. But it's kinda' sad that it had to be that way. Pac should have just agreed..now we will always wonder about him.Comment

If Manny thinks a simple randomized blood test is being "bullied",I would hate to see what he thinks of Floyd countering him and landing rights and left hooks on his ass!Comment

[QUOTE=Hyacinth;7786321]I believe he will as well.Never before have we seen Manny upset,flustered and making so many excuses (except for the first Morales fight!).The worst part is,it was over a testing that validates these two athletes as genuine, legitimately clean fighters not exploiting advantages. I honestly don't see why Manny has created a bigger drama than needed.Even quite a few of his fans thought the 14 day cut off was beyond fair.It's pretty bad for Manny when his "die-hards" think "the enemy" in Floyd was being reasonable...now all of a sudden there exists this anti-attitude towards strict testing and Manny Pacquiao. I can not believe any other boxer would refuse this opportunity. Perhaps Manny needs to consider this as an opportunity instead of a hellish curse...Comment

Your a bit late with this topic mate, we should just try not to talk about it until negotiations happen again cause last time it took over the site and everyone got tired of it.
Nobody is afraid IMO, both are to blame for before... you can blame Floyd in a way for coming up with it and you can blame Manny in a way for rejecting it, lets just leave it at that.Comment
