Serious Question: Why did Pac ask Floyd to pay a 10 Million per pound weight penalty?

[V.WEBB]

Of course, I broke that thread..They never initial wanted that fight for March 2010, They talked themselves into the fight/negotiations and had to look for a way out when the 10M dollar roadblaock failed.



Well its in the blood..

That whole thing was really crazy just looking back at the timeline and everything.

LOL, now making excuses?

Don't worry, now that the case of Pac is going to be heard into a full blown trial, maybe that's the time you people can prove that Pac's really on PEDs, right?
:*******:

I really don't know why I'm going back and forth with you. But if you read my statement, in context, it was CLEARLY a general statement about athletes (not just one, which is why I used the word "ANY") cheating.

I honestly thougt Mayweather would say No to a 50-50 just because he was known to sell more than Pac but already credit to him.

That shows how much he wants this fight.

Everybody just knew Floyd would demand more.

When he agreed to even money...that must have scared Arum and Roach *****less.

[Slick_Rick]

Spouting nonsense? He had to choice but to have the fight at 147 so he cant demand a catchweight, That would be too obvious, He demand 10M because he knows he wasnt ready for the fight, But to their amazement and everybodies Mayweather said yes, They demand 50-50 and Mayweather said yes too, They really didnt have anywhere else to go but to go back on the olympic style testing that they already verbally agreed to.. They had to find a way to block the fight, Roach already said he wanted a tune up.

But why would $10m be a "roadblock" for a 147lb fight, as its been said, Floyd has never weighed over the limit for a fight contracted at that weight, so why would it be a "roadblock"? It doesn't matter if its $1 or $100m, you are contracted to make that weight, just because you could pay the penalty doesn't mean you should not try to make the weight.
If anything the penalty the commission imposes should be increased just like how many people say better drug testing should be introduced.
If the fight was at a catch weight of, say, 144, like the Marquez fight, then yes, you could say it would be a "roadblock", but the proposed fight was not, so yeah, you're spouting nonsense.

And as you like to listen to Roach so much, he say Floyd first wanted the fight at 154, but that puts Floyd in a negative light so you probably chose not to listen to it..

In that same manner, a drug test shouldn't be a roadblock.

And no one one chose to listen to the 154lb thing because it's as believable as Pacquiao willing to get tested between rounds.

To you it doesnt matter, to normal people it shows he doesnt want the fight for that time, He had a trainer who confess that he wanted a fight or two before Pac takes on Mayweather, 10M was a roadblock attempt but they failed when that was accepted.

I haven't posted here in almost a year and this **** is still going on.

[fabie]

I was speaking in a general sense. Which is why I said "ANY athlete is possible of cheating by using PEDS...."

Of course, that's a given, there's always a possibility...likewise going from POSSIBILITY and outright allegations are two different things. Thus the drug testing is a moot point.

But "possibilities" are not grounds for anything. We can say that to anyone because it is so VAGUE.

With the 10 Million / Pound clause - at least there's a PRECEDENT on Mayweather's weight issue against JMM though it is a lame clause being imposed but still at least, there's a PRECEDENT...

They're entirely two different things. As a professional or amateur boxer you're obligated from day 1 to make the contracted weight, the penalty should be irrelevant.

And I think you need one of these:

Normal people you like you? GTFO

You got absolutely schooled in this thread (among others) ^^^ and didn't have the decency to say when you were wrong, so again, GTFO.

Precedent is irrelevant. There was no precedent when Manny forced Oscar to agree to that.
