    It's a shame hours & hours of negotiations in late 2009 couldn't bring out that compromise

    That's really not strange.
    Sure. But I have to first ask why is there a need for a compromise in the first place? You know?

      So your saying you were happy Manny refused blood testing.

      AND your happy he accepted the same drug testing? You have no issue with the fact he was obviously lieing the first time that '14 days will effect him' and the fight was ultimately called of because of that?

      This is what I'm talking about.

      So what was the problem did you have with the blood testing issue the first time round?

          But he has to be called on not responding to Arum's bull****, atleast say something, you know? He pretty much hasn't said anything since he beat Shane. And the whole 'Negotiations didnt happen' thing. We all know negotiations could have obviously happened had they attempted to. I think Floyd isn't helping matters at all. BOTH of them aren't helping matters.
          I think their team didn't respond, just for that reason, because Arum was just talking and not being serious about anything. I mean, Arum calls a silly "Deadline" conference call only to find out that they were trying to offer a 14 day cut off again after they KNEW it would be full testing or no fight. Let speaks volumes to me. So with that instance, Arum tried to pull a fast one and it worked on the majority of fans. It was a classic PR spin and it worked. The more the days past, the more I don't see the fight happening and Floyd sure hasn't help with his court situation.

          Manny is the sole reason the fight didnt happen early 2010. But of course Floyd got the blame for that at the time aswell
          Manny is liked and Mayweather isn't, there you have it.

              no he wasnt lying. he still wants a cut off right. the only reason he has given for not wanting test close to the fight goes back to morales 1.



              i was happy he was willing to stand his ground because he doesnt have to prove anything but at the same time im a fight fan that wants to see this fight. so if he was willing to compromise then fine and if pac is willing to do random to get the fight done then ill be fine with that to. but what i have seen is one party trying to negotiate while the other is doing **** but discrediting pac through the media.

                7 days? I thought he agreed to full testing like Mike Marley said Manny told him? I thought he agreed to be testing in between rounds just to make the fight?

                See how confusing that is? And you expect people to NOT be su****ious of that?

                    Stop it with that Morales fight as an excuse man! I've heard the "itchy sock" excuse for that fight, as well as the "wrong gloves" excuse. So, please, stop it. Heck, on Jimmy Kimmel, he said he didn't want to do the blood testing because "Floyd was bigger than him". Give me a break.

                      C'MON KIDS the reason we aint seeing this **** is because floyd is not agreeing to a staged fight.
