    a majority of his fans were defending Floyd's right to 'not even think about boxing' and the other half were tryin to convince anyone who would listen that it wouldn't be feasible because of his taxes

    then they even brought up Roger going to jail

    and now that PAC has an opponent lined up, all of a sudden Floyd's laryngitis clears up and he's gonna fight in december?

    da****outta here
    He makes a great point. If this fight is made in dubai he might make more than the mosley fight. that fight will sell out at the gate. And a Mayweather fight will always do well ppv. so the tax theoy is out the window and Roger is still in question so that reason is dead. He just wasn't budging on his demands or he didn't want to fight pac this year.

        Manny had his opponent finalized months ago. Please don't make me laugh.

              Damn, Floyd missed out on a trick then!

              He should have called Manny's bluff! Said ok Manny, 50-50 and 14 days cut off. And Manny and Arum would have crapped it as Manny was going to be fighting Margarito as it was finalised months ago!

              Would have prevented all this backlash of 'ducker' and 'coward'.

                  Nothing prevents that. Look what happened in January. D*ckriders will be d*ckriders, haters will be haters. So much so that Manny waits four months after Floyd says NO cutoff, asks for 14, and people are STILL calling Floyd ducker, etc. Do you really think he cares anymore? He's not a 22yr old on some message board.

                      He probably does care, look how defensive he becomes when it's been brought up (interviews after the Marquez and Mosley fights, Brian Kenny interviews, etc.).

                      And I think that tactic would have prevented it; look at all the backlash he managed to gather after demanding the tests when negotiations fell through for the first fight. Manny was seen by many as the 'ducker'.

                      Had he called Manny's bluff then definitely everyone would love him, because, as you confirmed, Manny-Margarito has been finalised for months, so Manny and Arum would have crapped it!
