Yes, it's a bargaining chip. So Pacquiao bargains back, instead of giving in to Floyd's ****** demands.
Nope....
Mayweather: requests random testing, Pacquiao says okay.
Pacquiao: requests '47, ring size, gloves, Mayweather say okay.
Pacquiao: then requests $10 million weight penalty, Mayweather says okay.
Paquiao: backtracks and says he won't do random testing.
You see that? Mayweather calls the Pacquiao's bluff ($10 million weight penalty). Pacquiao doesn't call Mayweather's bluff (random testing). It's that simple. If you don't understand, then I can't help you.
Show me proof of when Mayweather failed to make the 147 lb. welterweight limit before he accepted the $10 million weight penalty demanded by Pacquiao.
Ummm... He came in 2 pounds over his contractually agreed upon weight against JMM you douche. Which is the sole reason why Pac's team even brought up the issue of 10 million per pound penalty. If Floydie was actually honorable from the get go and just came in to the agreed upon weight limit of 144 (one that he had what? 5-6 months to make because of that "rib injury") we never would have had that clause to begin with.
I still see this as a good fight because a lot of people can learn from this fight about Manny's weakness.
Floyd, JMM, Bradley, and all aspiring opponents to Manny who are true boxers by style. Most specially Freddie Roach now has another homework to do with Manny and eliminating or finding a remedy for this weakness.
Takes the coming Pacquiao fights to another level... hopefully. =)
Because Floyd doesnt want the fight he has gave no indication he wants to fight Pacquiao and that is just the truth of the matter
Mayweather doesn't want the fight, he just compromised his only demand for the sake of getting Pacquiao to fight him the first time around. And Pacquiao rejected.
Seriously man. I mean I don't want to see Shane get brutalized in there but at least make a damn effort to fight the guy. F... I think it would have been better if he just stayed down after the KD in the 3rd rather than run for the next 9 rounds.
I not only felt robbed of $55, but I also lost 150 because Shane felt like being a fairy against some dude whose smaller than he is.

Is Pacquiao clean?
How do you know he's not? Oh I forgot, it's called blind allegiance. You like Floyd's "swag", he just does it for you I guess.

Eh, I really think you're hyping up Shane's performance a bit too much. Pacquiao looked bad because of Pacquiao. He basically had his way with Mosley, just chose not to push turn on the heat for nearly the entire fight.
Also, we was standing VERY flat footed, and seemed to have trouble being his usually explosive self. I noticed this during the fight, so when he explained that his leg was hurting, it made sense.
Awesome explanation for why Mayweather did not start his test tirade earlier in his career...
He was too busy forcing them to put their titles on the line at catchweights and forcing commissions to follow up on $10 million weight penalties. Or wait... I'm confused.
