    Oh and I think both could use the extra money about the same.

      For one, Pacquiao can easily earn as much as $15 million facing someone else, and that someone could be former welterweight king Antonio Margarito or the winner of the coming light-middleweight clash between Miguel Cotto or Yuri Foreman.

      But then Mayweather will still earn $40m fighting anyone in his next bout.In Manny's last bout with Clottey he only made $7.5m guaranteed.If this is what you *******s call pride then this is ****** pride.

      Exactly what's the posturing about?Clearly Manny is not on Mayweather's level,he doesnt make more money than Mayweather and has never made any more than Mayweather so what's all this take it or leave it when you are not as big?Who in his earnest intelligence will choose a $14m fight instead of a $50m fight?Is this pride?Now do you understand why Mayweather doesnt comment as much about Pacquiao?He is the bigger draw.Anyone who went to school and can calculate.If Manny was that valuable he would be making the money,unfortunately the market doesnt value him that much.
      You self-loathing ******. Pride>Money, obviously for some people, not for others. When you give up a part of yourself for money, you sell out.

        Anyway as for money, 15 mil is a lot of money. Who else earns 15 mil a fight?

        15 mil beats probably every fighter out there bar one.

        A smaller fights says he didn't want to bow down to Mayweather.

        When everyone said Manny was a duck, Arum flew over their and Manny wanted it ASAP.

        That's when this bul**** PED started.

        If Maywetaher wnated it, he wouldn't ask this thing out of the blue, especially if he said JMM is better than Pac and that Manny is too small for him.

        They both killed the fight. Don;t care what you say.
        U have it wrong, my friend. The testing was unofficially agreed to by team Pac before negotiation started, so they done up the contract and Floyd signed, and Arum said it seems fair, so he flew out to the Philippine to see Manny; however, something transpired there and he reneged on the commitment and told the media that Manny is "scared of needles" and rejected the blood test, then all hell break loose from there on.

            I think what happened over the last six months is that Pac took a gamble in refusing to fight Mayweather. He thought that he would receive the support of the boxing public, including boxing media and fans. He thought he could fight someone else and earn a good payday while watching Mayweather suffer the fallout from the failed fight, including negative financial consequences. I think Arum and his handlers convinced him that he was in the driver's seat and could dictate the terms and convinced him that Mayweather would have no choice but to drop the drug testing demand for the big payday.

            The gamble failed. Pac fought Clottey, but earned less as the A-side fighter than Mosley did as the B-side fighter in his fight against Mayweather. He also received heavy criticism as a result of the poor fight, in spite of the attendance. Also, the fans and boxing media, for the most part, turned against Pac. Instead of suffering financially and credibility-wise, Floyd won big as a result of the failed fight by earning $40 million fighting Mosley. He also cemented his reputation as the number one attraction in boxing with 1.4 million PPVs against Mosley and a live gate of $12 million, which was significantly higher than Pac/Clottey, even though they had 50,000 in attendance. Now, Floyd is clearly in the driver's seat, so Manny is trying to salvage what he can after his gamble failed by agreeing to the 14-day testing cutoff.

            When Pac thought about the fact that he could have earned $40 million instead of $7.5 million, he suddenly had a change of heart about the drug testing. He can fight Margarito, but he won't earn $15. He can fight JMM, but won't earn $15 million. He can fight the Cotto/Foreman winner, but won't earn $15 million. The only way Pac can earn $15 million or more is to fight Mayweather. He knows it. He knows Mayweather has his balls in a vice and he is trying to save face and earn the biggest payday of his career at the same time.
