Interesting as in: Are you his ATTORNEY OR SOMETHING....LOLOLOL....THE EXCUSES CONTINUE....LOLO THATS A GOOD ONE KID, ...but aint buying IT, wld have made him mentally tougher?......lololo ..how long did it take you to pull this excuse out of the garbage bin?. ...SORRY BUT, this is not the way a normal human being response in this situation, its more likely to be FEAR of LOSING.

He made of 60 million fighting shane mosley, where have u been?

I've been in reality

You are a very gullible idiot (shocking, I know) if you truly believe Floyd made anywhere near that amount for the Mosley fight. The record purse for one fighter after PPV revenue, etc is $52 for De La Hoya he made for the Floyd fight, that's by far the most ever and they're trying to hand virtually that much over to Floyd as a GUARANTEE but he's not having it.

Who can forget this classic:

MAYWEATHER SR. BLAMES THE IRS, BUT SEEMS CONFIDENT FIGHT WILL HAPPEN IN 2011
By FightHype

“The fight’s gonna still happen. I’m pretty sure about that. It may not happen right away this year, but it’s going to happen,” commented Floyd Mayweather Sr., who assured fans that his son will eventually step into the ring for a mega-fight with Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao. The question then is why isn’t the fight happening on November 13? According to Mayweather Sr., the recent tax problems that Floyd had earlier this year were the motivating factor in his decision to forego fighting later this year.

“One thing for sure is Floyd is not scared of Pacquiao. That’s one thing for sure. Everybody needs to get that straight; that’s straight and to the point. Floyd is not scared of Pacquiao. That’s the last guy he’s scared of in boxing, but the whole thing is, man, the money Lil Floyd done made and the money he would get fighting Pacquiao, think about it,” Mayweather Sr. would explain as he stressed that fear of fighting has nothing to do with his son’s decision not to face Pacquiao on November 13.

Instead, Mayweather Sr. suggested it was his son’s fear of Uncle Sam that’s preventing the biggest fight in boxing from taking place this year. “Make a million dollars in one year and see what Uncle Sam gonna do to you. So that’s what I’m talking about. Make $100 million in one year and see what Uncle Sam gonna do,” he would tell FightHype’s own Percy Crawford. “It would be like he ain’t never fought Shane. I’m telling you the real deal of how it is. That is the only reason they didn’t make the fight.”

It's been a hell of a ride with the Crackweathers

I remember this. This is around the time when all the Floydboyz suddenly became certified tax experts! LOL

[| THE KING |]

. **** Koncz... but Mayweathers demands is old news.

Do you have a link to that? I was under the impression that he made 40m and thats with the PPV upside and his promoter cut.

He did, I never argued you that. Your trying to make a big deal out of nothing. No matter how you get to 60 million its still 60 million when its all said and done. And yes he still has to pay his whole crew and taxes, electricity, gas, food, water, and insurance....my whole point is, Floyd wouldnt turn down 50 million...but theres links on the web of his earnings for 2010s fights. Its public knowledge..i'm not gonna search for them because it was last year...im sure you can google it and a link or a thread will show u in the right direction..

Guess they need to sell more PPV for the Pac-Mosley fight = Enter Mayweather's name and we get another (Numbers of buys), Guess Kcounz is learning from his harvard master afterall..

Didn't they fight TWICE?

Uh..and...?

[IMDAZED]

In case you havent heard, Pac is leery about having blood drawn too close to fight night. This isnt something he just made up when the Floyd negotiations went down. This has been documented going back till after his loss to Erik Morales.

For the record, I know plenty of people who have psychological issues when it comes to having blood drawn. I've seen people throw up, feel weak, pass out, etc.

What I find funny is how Floyd is demanding the one thing that Pac has stated he'll never do again. Hmmmmmmm.

Yes but Pac says they drew blood the day of the Morales fight. They wouldn't do that here. Sorry, try something else.

Is that why he lost to EM? Or was it the gloves or the socks?

I find it funny that you really THINK that Floyd and his team went on youtube and found that video and THEN demanded he take blood tests for the fight. LOL. That video dropped AFTER Manny agreed to do the testing, those are facts.

Try again.

Right, the USADA said they would stop testing 48 hours out. That's two whole days to "recover" even IF they decided to test the week of. And do you remember how they kept trying to redefine what "close to the fight meant"? LOL. This little thing is hilarious man, especially on Fridays.
