Why won't Floyd just drop his demand?

He asked that since Floyd is saying that Pacman has no skills and can easily be defeated then whether Pac is on PEDS or not is a moot point. Unless... the "no skills" part is really just a wishful thinking and Floyd actually thinks that Pacman can defeat him.
However if he goes ahead to fight Manny, all that means that is "Mayweather conquered his fear" ya know

He is also under no pressure to fight Pac, because *****s dont put any pressure on him to fight Pac. *****s put all the blame on Pac for the fight not happening. Floyd is never in the wrong, and they wont hear that it was Floyds fault that he didnt fight Cotto or Margarito or anyone else as welll. They dont blame or care that he retires as well, so Floyd has nothing to worry about. What *******s say dont worry him, so why fight?
50 million only means something if you havent got anything in the bank, and we know he has a lot.
Any young fighter out there wouldn't be a 8-1 underdog, not Ortiz, Berto, Bradley, and especially not Martinez.
You guys enable Mannys cowardliness, and allow him to keep taking those easy fights, just like him now wanting to fight Marquez around 144, when it should be around 135 or such, because ROACH picked on Marquez and said he was bloated during the Mayweather fight.

If Bob Arum/Pacquiao/whoever connected with that camp says they are fine with Floyds demand, Floyd should just call their "bluff" (if that is the case).
I really have a hard time thinking Floyd would let himself get ridiculed in media like this quietly.

During the first negotiation, Arum said he offered 14 days and Floyd turned it down. The neutral mediator said he was lying and that it was vice versa.
So is Floyd a more credible source when it comes to testing? Yes.

In all honesty I dont see Floyd losing to MANNY BUT JUST AS MANNY DOESNT WANT TO GIVE ANY ONE HE FIGHTS AN ADVANTAGE, WHY WOULD FLOYD TAKE A CHANCE THAT SOMEONE ON STEROIDS REALLY COULD SCORE A GOOD PUNCH THAT COULD END HIS UNDEFEATED LEGACY... This is boxing and I have seen people go down on ounches that didnt even seem that hard. You heard what mosley stated... the punch wasnt that hard, but he still went down. If I suspect someone of cheating, then I dont want to give them that advantage...
So now the question becomes if blood tests were actually going to disrupt manny's training then why was he supposedly willing to take the 14 days after the first round of negotiations?? Is it because he heard Floyd state that the negotiations for 14 days were now off??
I mean in all honesty PACQUIAO HAD MANY EXCUSES. THIS IS WHY HES SUSPECT....
I mean in all honesty no one expected Pacquiao to come up with so many excuses to avoid blood testing....... No one did. Floyd could never have known that he would have done this, but HE DID, HE EVEN TOLD BRIAN KENNY HE WOULD BE IN HEAVY TRAINING SO HAD HE FOUND A WAY TO BEAT THE 14 DAY TESTING IDEA SO THEN HE AGREED??
THINK ABOUT IT.
So, is it not possible for a test immediately after the fight? Assuming a blood test hours before a fight would really affect Manny, hence we are not getting the best out of both fighters. And if tested positive, assuming the 0.00001% that Floyd loses will the "L" still stand? Again, I'm no expert that's why I'm asking.
It shouldnt be a big deal for Floyd to risk a fight with Manny knowing a test (blood, urine, semen, whatever) after the fight will be conducted. It's not as if manny has already killed fighters in the ring before.

Fight a young lion? Pac would be favourite, so next excuse please!
So now you want Pac the champ and king to drop down two divisions to fight the desperate for a fight JMM? No point in debating with a Pac hater like yourself for surre.Last edited by hugh grant; 05-21-2011, 09:22 AM.

Originally posted by IMDAZED View Postif Floyd didn't view Manny as a threat, of course he wouldn't care. He does. I think you're missing the point. This argument implies that Manny is juicing but since he'll probably lose, it shouldn't matter. How dumb is that?
People say that Pacman's refusal puts the su****ion on him. I think it is really more of an ego thing. He originally had this well-documented bad experience with the Morales fight. But that was when he was struggling to make weight. It is understandable - if you're dehydrated, taking a tube of blood will be devastating, especially if you can't drink fluids because you still need to get weighed. So the reaction to the first negotiation is expected. Eventually his handlers probably convinced him that it will not have the same effect since he is now fighting in a higher weight class and does not really have to dehydrate to make weight - so the later move back to the negotiating table and the agreement to Floyd's cut-off date. Unfortunately Floyd changed the demands... and now it is really just an ego thing between the two.
