    We don't know if he wanted to prove that. One might surmise that him countering with a $10m weight fee was his way of esacaping the fight. When that didn't work - along with his other requests - all of a sudden he had an issue with what he already agreed to. Or maybe his issue was really with the testing. But I've seen your posts...you definitely don't want to go there. I don't blame you.

      Floyd Sr just got the ball rolling. The continuous accusations are what ****ed things up. If the Mayweather's had accepted any of Pac's compromises, the allegations would have died out there and then. Because they refused them and kept accusing him, they have just gotten bigger. The fact that the Mayweather's acceptance or refusal of a 24 day cut-off date would be enough to stamp out everyone's su****ions of Pac's PED use just shows how weak and unfounded those su****ious are.

        Yup, he made up a story out of nowhere about blood tests affecting him.

          Excuses. That's all I hear from people. Look, I loved James Toney but imagine me trying to ride that "injury" excuse for his roids? I mean, kicking the ball over the fence then suing for 75 grand? Come on. Logically, wouldn't Pac's best response to the rumors be to take the tests, prove he's clean, collect his $40mil while getting to punch out the guy who started the mess?

            Why was there a need for a compromise in the first place? Why didn't Manny just go with what he originally agreed to?

              I said I believe that is why he accepted. But that does not negate nor dismiss why he lied and try to change USADA's testing protocol.

                Well the only truth we know is that he has an issue with being tested the day of the fight.

                  How would that have humiliated the Mayweather's? They would have just said they are striving for a level playing field. It would just have shown that they were able to strong-arm him into accepting something that could take him out of his comfort-zone in the days leading up to the fight.

                    The problem is that Manny keeps lying about what exactly that comfort zone is.
