    You know how they say "how can Pacman turn down....

    a 40 million blood test". Well you can turn that around and say how can Floyd turn down 40 million just over a blood test.

    Just saying.

          What good is $40 milliion if you might not live to spend it, hence Floyd turning down the fight without the random blood tests.

            People who know me will know that I am no Pac fan and I got red k'd to bits a few months ago by pac fans, but while it is true what you say, it should be across the board. Why did Floyd only want blood testing when he realized Pacquiao was a threat, he didn't even want it when he camer back from retirement which would have looked more plausible.

            Sounds like he saw Pacquiao destroy people like Cotto and thought "is this guy really that good?".

              one can also say floyds already the biggest draw in boxing he made more than half or 40 mill fighting mosley plus the ppv revenues he can make more than 40 mill easily in 2 fights while pac is also a draw but he wont make the kind of money floyd makes

                Maybe Mayweather feels that even 40 million isnt worth becoming Ali'ed and to be walking around shaking, drooling on himself, being filmed ringside at fights with random white kids on his lap etc...to be worth it. Sorry, if it was basketball I could agree, but 40 million to Floyd might not be worth the brain damage that could incur should he enter the ring with a roided up freak like Pacquiao allegedly is.

                Its like this if someone was going to offer you 50 million to fly on an airplane with an unescorted osama bin ladin, however, the deal relied on either a. him willing to go threw a metal detector or b. you not making him go through a metal detector. If he really isnt packing a bomb its far less of a risk for him to threw the detector than for you to just believe that he is telling the truth. But again you could use your logic and say, "its just a metal detector, hows that worth 50 mil."

                  Guys, roids can only do so much. We have seen examples of roided fighters who have lost (Vargas) or looked sluggish (Mosley) both vs De la Hoya.

                  Pacquiao could be having scrambled roids on toast every morning for all I know, but even in my most anti-Pacquiao days even I recognized he is a great fighter.

                    All my boy Floyd wants is a level playing field.... You know, like making Marquez move up two weight classes and have him think of meeting me at 144 and in the last minutle make him fight me at 147.... Thats the kind of fairness my boy Money May wants and deserves....
