Enough of what some call ridicuolous demand by Floyd

[Allucard]

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.

So if Floyd knew it, why would he gladly accept the Pacquiao demands? LETS REMEMBER THE TESTING WAS THERE FROM DAY 1. Floyd never changed nothing in his "demands". The Pacquiao camp however.... Said yes at first, and when they realized Mayweather accepted: the 50 - 50, the glove size, the 10 million penalty, they realized Mayweather wanted the fight and they back off. Because of a simple blood test. It's crazy.

since you mention the bolded part lemme ask you. do you really believe floyd is on a crusade here? LOL.

Regardless of if he is or isn't the objective is the same.

[DE100]

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.

Exactly, people keep saying he just did that to duck the fight, but how in the world would Mayweather know Pac would turn down the Testing (That he himself was willing to do, and greater athletes then both have taken)

the ts great job
and to the other person why is the overweight penalty a big deal but when pac wanted a catchweight for cotto it was just a few lbs.

[Tamis!]

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.

The people who find Floyd's drug testing demands RIDICULOUS has the same weight and opinion on how you find Pacquiao's 10 mil. demand of going overweight as RIDICULOUS to your opinion (bolded it for you).

More to the point are the reasons behind those demands and their replies...

Pac said NO because FMJ's demands came from the steroid accusation which they have no proof of.

The demand of Team Pacquiao to demand 10mil when Floyd comes overweight is mainly because Floyd DID come overweight with JMM, and he said YES!

So which holds more water then mate?

So i therefore conclude that you can't tell people "enough of what some call ridiculous demand by Floyd" when you are entitled to the same premise to say the same thing to the other side.

[M.I.C.]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Floyd's request, Team Pac are simply afraid of the results

You can look at it like that, but there's always 2 sides to a coin.

I think the realistic approach to this situation is Floyd is trying to steal the spotlight from Pacquiao and he'll do whatever it takes. There's no real serious attempt on Floyd's part to actually clean the sport more than trying to put a dagger in Pacquiao's aura without physically getting in the ring with him yet. But what people also fail to realize is Pacquiao not succumbing to Floyd's demands doesn't make him a cheat. Does it make him su****ious? Yea, of course...but people automatically thinking that Pac is doping because of his refusal of Floyd's demands (not the NSAC) and making it seem like he gave up a "$40 Mill drug test" isn't totally accurate because even according to HBO and GBP, Floyd wasn't the easiest guy to work with either. The thing is, Pacquiao is not some challenger who'll need to abide by Floyd's demands because of who he is because Pacquiao himself is the biggest star in the sport whether people want to admit that or not.

Plus, I've always said there was more to that fight not happening besides Drug tests not being agreed to.

the 10 mill demand benefits PACQUIAO, so there will be no kind of advantage on floyds part. how is that ridiculous?! if floyd does not have any problem making 147 then he has no problem with the stipulation, BUT since he came overweight on his last fight, pacquiao has every right to ask for that demand, which benefits him so that floyd will not go overweight. pacquiaos demands is not going overboard and floyds baseless accusations lead to extra testing which pacquiao and team thought was going wayy overboard.

Sorry mate there is something wrong with Floyd's request, coz he said that "The Philippines produces the best performance enhancers" without proof of it. Then the demand of testing for Pac, again, with no proof.

Team Pac being afraid of the results is your opinion and i got no beef about it!

[kukuy77]

Why would Floyd come up with this demand on the biggest Payday of his career?

He knew Pac diidnt like blood tests because Pac admitted to the testing having a negative affect (physically and phsycological) on him.

Floyd was looking for an advantage and used these accusations to see if Pac would fall for it. I feel Mayweather knows fighting Pac is a big risk.
