Is NSB Ok With The 'Offer Expired' Reason...

[pistol whip]

Looks like 15% of NSB really don't want the fight to happen and are more intrested in Floyd getting his way.


It's mind boggling to say the least!

Hence, poll is biased. See Mak,

Proof is here.

I hate the threads about floyd and manny, there are bigger(better) fights than this

Name a bigger fight than Floyd/Pac

[Eaner0919]

yes, because manny had to give something because floyd went through with ost with shane. now it floyd's move.

General public pre-Shane fight: "Manny turned down $40M rather than take OST"

General Public now: "Floyd said 14 days, Manny agreed to OST, now Floyd backing out"

regardless of what's happened since then, the fact is floyd was willing to accept it and has said it on record. Tactical error on floyd's part. giving concessions in negotiation and taking them back does not work, if you offer them, you have to honor them (unless your position has drastically changed and neither have lost yet).

do not agree

because at that time Mayweather's testing was still based on speculation and theory rather than having a hard cold history behind it.

so we cannot just simply say regardless of what happened when what happened is a big deal (Mayweather and Shane going through OST)

simple as this

Mayweather: 14 days is fine

Manny: not its not

fight falls through

Manny: okay 14 days is fine let's make this happen Floyd
Mayweather: offer is off the table I already went through OST so now OST is in all my fights now

like reed said 7 days is the middle point of this so if they get to that point then I guess its okay even though it should really be true random testing

[johnm is...]

I voted.. But the poll is biased.

It is funny though, that Pacquaio is allowed to walk away from a deal, and we're supposed to be fine with it. But if Mayweather says no.. He's "ducking".

[-MAKAVELLI-]

mah dude

choice one is an assumption that when Mayweather states the offer is off the table he doesn't want the fight?

why?

choice two is the assumption that now that Manny said yes to 14 days he wants it more than Floyd

why when he could have just said yes back in 2009?

lol cmon man

it takes both sides to compromise E



if you go to someone's original cutoff point and that person takes 3 steps back, what does that tell you?


and noone said PAC wants this fight more than Floyd...im sure both of those money hungry bastards want that check as much as the other

[Carpe Diem]

Floyd should accept it..But in that case, we all know who ducked out of the first time..

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

not sure...from all the twists and turns, this is where im at:


during the original negotiations, Floyd wanted testing up to the fight...PAC requested something like 21 or 24 days, Floyd said no and countered with 14 and PAC walked away


now that PAC's got that election thingy out of the way, he wants to revisit negotiations where they left off...at 14 days



this leads to my poll, if Floyd says that the 14 day offer has expired, are you ok with that and the fight not happening or would you like floyd to accept HIS original compromise and make the fight happen?

Okay, I recall a statement from Mayweather's camp saying that the 14 day compromise made at the end of the original negotiations would no longer be on the table, that it would be 5 days, take it or leave it. But I've all but given up on following the negotiations, so maybe I'm inaccurate.


My personal take is,

1) at this stage I'm ready to say to hell with the fight and move on until it's made (if it ever is)

2) I want to see Manny take the tests with as small a cut-off window as possible, to clear his name as much as anything, because the public half-perception of one of our two best athletes being dirty is making the sport look bad (worth bearing in mind that whisper didn't start with the Mayweather's, although they were big in popularizing it).

I hate the threads about floyd and manny, there are better fights than this

You're probably right. If Floyd were to beat Pacquiao easily, the fight would have been an anticlimax after all this.

[edgarg]

If you are broke and offer to sell me a $1,000 watch for $100 but that day I don't buy it but I come back a week later to buy it but you have won $50,000 on a scratch off lottery ticket can I still get that watch for $100?

Offer's do not last forever and when that offer was made Floyd's side said then that that offer would be no more in the future.

What does agreeing to an offer that no longer exists mean really? Other than just spin?

Your position is understandable, and "offers" don't last for ever. But, since there was no time limit placed on the original offer, which was only a short time ago, the assumption is that it has not lapsed. To now say that "sorry you're too late" is childish, and retaliative-even spiteful.

For an event valued at around $100 million, one needs to be specific......that is, if one is serious in the first place about the "offer".............
