    Enough of what some call ridicuolous demand by Floyd

    Look its really simple. Now a days fighters go past NSAC bullcrap with all types of on the side deals, on the side demands, catchwieghts, side bets, etc.
    All of us that know boxing know this happens all the time.
    No one said a damn thing about it until Floyd made one that made a fighter say NO TO A FIGHT and that is when "all of a sudden" we began to pay attention to side requests that have nothing to do with NSAC.
    SO THE REQUEST IS NOT THE BIG DEAL HERE it is the FACT THAT PAC SAID NO TO A REQUEST FOR A LARGE SUM OF MONEY that shocked the world and all of us.We were all cool with it for years even up to the point when Pac made the, catchweight demands, ring sizes, glove weights and even 10 million per pound request. We were still cool. WHY? BECAUSE FLOYD ACCEPTED! and every other fighter including Cotto. If he had not then we would all be saying Floyd is a chicken and made a big deal of it.
    So lets stop acting like Floyd had a crystal ball and knew if he made the request, he could see the future and KNOW that Pac would back out. Especially when he could have backed out when the ridiculous 10 mill. demand was made.

    pac has a history of walking away from huge sums of money due to his ego, it happened during the hatton negotiations... i'm not saying i'm sure floyd had a crystal ball, but it is possible he knew about it.

          Very good article and is a mirror image of what I have been saying all this time.
          Some Pac fans want to measure Pacs Ego to a stance that can possibly help clean boxing (WHATEVER FLOYDS MOTIVE it is bigger than both boxers)

                    Could be, and if he did, then it shows intent to want the fight in the first place and another reason why Pac looks suspect.
