    What an idiot.
    Wasn't that before Floyd mentioned the blood testing demand?

      Okay, great. So the answer is to avoid testing and fight a proven cheater, awesome.

      Mayweather wanted the fight at '54... Pacquiao wanted it at '47 with 8oz gloves, Mayweather gave in. Pacquiao wanted Mayweather to pay $10 million for every pound he came in over '47. Mayweather gave in to that when he certainly didn't have to. Mayweather has given three concessions to Pacquiao. All he's asked for is random testing, if that ruins your confidence, derails your focus, or puts you at a disadvantage when the other guy is taking the exact same tests, perhaps one's panties are in a bunch and they should go do something else, it only seems proper at that point.
      There you go mike

        because of the drug test issue. Are you all sure about that? We
        all know that Floyd never mentioned anything about it in his
        U-stream
        rants months ago. It should be obvious that he was
        amenable to the latest proposals/offers but just was not ready
        for the fight.
        With that it's also quite obvious that Floyd is no longer in a position
        to dictate what he wants next time. His bargaining chips had
        devalued. C'mon guys, do you think Arum would initiate another
        negotiation with Floyd when the last one was not even recognized?
        Floyd had to reach out next time
        .
        In his ustream, at one point he mentioned that he'd fight Pacquiao as soon as he got "off them power pellets."

        It would be ridiculous for any of us to think that Mayweather never got the fax.... I think the issue is that some posters think that getting a fax is negotiating, but it takes responding to that fax to make it a negotiation.

        You can tell me, go post at that thread, if I don't like that thread, I'll just brush it off. Then you give me a countdown to respond to your final offer and I don't respond and leave that proposal alone, I've yet to negotiate with you.

        Connect the dots. Arum, Schaeffer, Pacquiao... they fax "we want a seven day cutoff" to Haymon, Haymon relays it to Mayweather.... they read it, crumble it and throw it in the trash because they specifically stated to agree to full random testing. Arum creates the countdown clock and Mayweather doesn't respond.

        Does that sound like a negotiation to you or anyone for that matter??

          He is referring to the "Weight" penalty.

          Can someone out there remind teacher why there was such a clause?

              Weight penalty? Type of glove? Ring size?

                Then someone didn't got the message and "Negotiations never happened"

                  Olympic style testing was the demand from the onset. It was actually before Pacquiao proposed the 8oz gloves, '47 lb division, and $10 million penalty. Mayweather called all of his bluffs and that's when the excuse came reigning in. I don't think Pacquiao expected Mayweather to agree to all the terms and even more terrifyingly to them, as fast as Mayweather did.

                  All that I listed there is in chronological order.

                    So who was the last fighter to get penalized 10 million dollars for coming in overweight?

                    If 10 million dollars isn't outrages to you, then i'm having a conversation with Donald Trump.

                    He did agree to that.
