    What's the logic in bring up a 10mil weight right in the middle of OST issue.

    No hate here. Can anyone Floyd or Pac fan give their opinion the logic of bringing in a 10mil weight penalty RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF OST issue.

    Am talking about the TIMING of it. Not the reason. So please don't come with because Floyd came over weight with Marquez. That's irrelevant to this discussion. Am talking about the timing. If Pac had added this at the begining then I wouldn't find it strange.

    But whats the deal in throwing that in right in the middle of the OST issue. If your not going to agree with testing whats the point in bringing in an additional negotiation demand it your not going to accept the one at currently at hand.

    Its like if am in the middle of negotiation a price on a car and the dealer tells me 10,000 is the final offer, then I tell him willl you throw in an extended warranty and the dealer says fine and then I say well am still not buying it. Wouldn't you be like WTF. That makes no sense unless my only goal was to make the dealer look like they didn't want to make a deal.

    That $10 mill was only a publicity stunt. Everybody and his grandmother know for sure that Mayweather can easily make 147 at ANY time, and HE certainly knows..

      Publicity stunt to achieve or promote what? What did Pac gain from that? BTW thanks for stepping up although you didn't say anything.

        pac is vehemently against a higher standard of drug esting and he thought floyd would have the same insane hatred of the penalty but it back fired.

            Ok I agree. Am just not sure why he didn't demonstrate this vehemently from the very beginning.

            Am thinking Pac's team knew this would have looked bad to not go into negotiations because of testing so Pac went in trying bluff his way out to save face. This is why I feel Pac never had intentions in fighting Floyd. I think that's a fair guess but people will call it hate. They even go as far as to say the testing was a last minute thing because it would make it more favorable to Pac. Its like their acusing of Floyd doing what Pac actually did with this stunt of the 10mil.

                So what Manny did is a stunt but what Floyd did was routine. You know, accuse Manny of taking PEDs and then telling him to not just take a test, take OST. Happens all the time, right?

                Its part of negotiations. Just pretend that Floyd did it then you would be able to answer that with at the very least 5 variations of reasoning ... but since its Manny who did it, you just can't comprehend it.

                Their team may have said, hey lets add the weight into the negotiations if Floyd is asking for testing.

                As for your example for buying a car and asking for more stuff, I have done it too. You try to get as much as you can during the negotiations. Later (next day) you believe it still isn't a good enough deal so you don't buy the car. Other times, you do buy the car.

                  That's what is called the perfect "back-handed compliment".

                    TO PROMOTE THE FIGHT -WHAT ELSE????? EVERYTHING that's said or written by either camp is to promote the fight. These things are mostly thought out by experts especially hired for the purpose. It's only when someone is caught "off-guard" that we hear anything that might be remortely truthful or interesting.

                    Don't you all know this??
