Originally posted by P4P305 View PostBy Ronald C Charles: During an interview with CBS radio Floyd Mayweather was asked about the particulars of a possible Pacquiao bout. Due to legal implications Mayweather stated he could not discuss the finer details of pre fight drug testing, but did say Drug testing by (Anti-Doping Agency) is non-negotiable, if Pacquiao does not take the test, there will be no fight.
“I understand Pacquiao not liking having his blood taken because, frankly, I don't know anyone who really does. But in a fight of this magnitude, I think it is our responsibility to subject ourselves to sportsmanship at the highest level. I have already agreed to the testing and it is a shame that he is not willing to do the same. It leaves me with great doubt as to the level of fairness I would be facing in the ring” Mayweather told ESPN.
When pressed further on the finer details Mayweather would not comment on earlier reports that suggested he was demanding a 60/40 split in his favour. However, he did specify his desire to be second into the ring on the night, a privilege usually reserved for the belt holder. Mayweather’s last fight against Shane Mosley he refused to pay the WBA sanctioning fees and no belt was on the line.
Mayweather was informed it’s Manny Pacquiao who currently holds the WBO welterweight title and in customary fashion, it’s the title holder whom makes their way to the ring last, Mayweather replied “I’m not interested in any title, do I want the fight? Yes, do I want the title? No.
The indication from Mayweather's comments would suggest he is open to negotiating ring and glove size, but stood steadfast as stating testing by the Anti-Doping Agency is non-negotiable.
“In my last fight with Mosley for the first time in the sports history, the world knew for sure both fighters were clean and on a level playing field, allowing the best man to prevail”.
“The sport of boxing is a dangerous sport where fighters have lost their life’s and family’s ruined, to put down a man who is trying to do the right thing does not make sense, most critics have probably never competed in the ring.” Said Mayweather
“If you ask fighters 99 percent of them would agree to the testing, it’s only human nature to question the motives of the 1 percent who refuse.

Originally posted by thatnickuh View PostI've said plenty, the last post that you quoted only to dismiss it with a kiddie like response is evidence. It's just that mental midgets such as yourself ignore the valid points that I and others make because you're either not smart enough to refute them, or not smart enough to understand them. I suspect you fall under both categories.

Do you guys want to see the fight at all? All you *****s are double standard hypocrites who ride floyds nuts so much that they are flat. And the bad thing about it is you dont even realize you do. And you guys call yourselves "REAL" boxing fans.
