What does that have to do with anything?
Whos beaten the most champs and p4p ranked fighters recently?

Floyd.

The #1 P4P fighter is known as the best fighter is the world regardless of weight. Manny is #1.

Floyd is not ranked.

Yeah sure..and yes it is team pacquiaos fault.
Manny wants the fight just like he wants to know where all his money is.
Too bad he doesnt make his own business decisions.

Who cares about money? As a boxing fan, I don't care about money. I care about the sport. The sport has one fighter at the top of the pound-for-pound rankings, and that's Manny Pacquiao.

Floyd has all the talent, ability, and work ethic to get up there, but he's not. That spot is occupied by Manny Pacquiao.

All I'm going to say is, If Floyd is really ducking and dodging...

Couldn't he have just said "No...that's bull****" to the outrageous 10 million dollars per lb thing?? I mean, it would make sense that anyone would say "no" to that demand.

Still havnt answered my question. You said floyd cherry picks yet his past five opponents were all either champs or top 5 p4p

Hes been on a year layoff and is still top 3 p4p and after his fight hell be number 1 again.

Mayweather:
- JMM: was #2 P4P and winning, didn't know what to expect @ WW
- Mosley: was #1 WW Champion and winning
- Ortiz is a current young WW Champion and winning

Pac:
- Clottey: STILL hasn't won a fight since 08 vs Judah
- Margarito: a Ko'ed banned cheater, loser
- JMM: is winning but has never won or even looked good at WW

There was precedent for Team Pacquiao to request this. Floyd is a bigger man than Pacquaio is, and their side wanted to make sure that Floyd didn't come over 147. He had recently gone over his contracted weight with JMM, which was at 144, and he came in at 146. This was the precedent that caused Team Pac to make that demand, which is reasonable.

P.S. Just FYI, I think there should be Olympic-style PED testing in all of boxing. Just an FYI for you.

Obviousky manny cares about the money considering he changed his business handlers. And obviously you dont care because youre not making any. If you cared about the sport youd already know that Mannyis interim pound for pound champ.

Show me where I said this. Then, I will show you why you are an idiot.

This is their living, so of course they care about their money. Why do you care?

I don't care because I'm not making any? How do you know, and why do you care?

You see the numerous assumptions?
