    Let me remind you that I'm not saying Pac is on anything. I'm just saying what has happened in the past and it looks su****ious.
    Well, I think it's safe to say that people who don't want to be tested usually have a good reason. And it's usually not what they're saying.

    People seem to miss that point. Manny could have indeed fought FMJ instead of Clottey. Floyd was desperate for a big payday and he wanted it. Now Floyd made 40 mil he doesn't much care.

    The reason that fight didn't happen then and there is simple......MP didn't want it to, and i suspect Arum was pushing hard for it not to happen also. Why risk losing to FMJ when you can match your guy against men in your own stable, make more money?
    I can think of a plethora of reasons why this fight wasn't made when it was right there. But posters don't like to hear it .

      Look, if you check the MARGARITO plaster-case...there's physical evidence before the hearing and banning by the Commission.

        They just need to make all drugs legal.

        Remember how fun baseball and football were when everyone was roided up.

        It really enhanced my experience of those sports.



        I am sure they'd find some other way to stall this fight on both sides.

        They'd just both have some other excuse I feel.

        I think there is still a ton of bad blood between Floyd and Arum.

        Egos get in the way of dollars.... damn shame.

          No matter what our talking points are, if Floyd was able to accept 14 days, hopefully they will accept a compromise and get this fight on.
          Both fighters had stipulations that weren't a part of standard boxing rules. That just doesn't fly.

              yup, but at least it showed that Pac wanted to negotiate because Pac wanted the fight....

              Pac believed that giving his blood led to his lost to Morales....

              Pac is superstitious, just like the chinese who would never buy a condo on the 4th floor even if it is 15% cheaper because is connotes death in chinese numerology......
              this is something that people from the west will never understand.....

                You're a pretty rational guy fabie. Think about it this way......

                Floyd Mayweather Jr truly thinks MP has been using PED's. He asks for OST for both fighters. Would Manny and his team's reaction to that request make him feel like he wasn't on PED's?? Or would it harden his position further??

                  Well if he was willing to negotiate then I suppose we can ignore your previous post, no? It makes everything you said moot.

                      Kill that ****** **** right now!!! It's not the same and you know it...

                      And even if it was, in this case, Floyd would be just another student (demanding things from another student), not a Professor (or the commission, who can actually punish you for not taking the test)...
