Originally posted by bayareamike View PostMay announced may 5 before but why? He didn't negotiate the date with team pac, how do you know he didn't arrange it with a different opponent? The USDA wada thing another poster brought up.. That was before they signed to fight Marquez months ago. Just a week or two ago, in interviews, Floyd said for pacquiao to take the test. Been saying it for years but only when pacquiao looks horrible then "testings not an issue". To me, IN MY OPINION, it looks suspect. And I love Floyd as a fighter. And my gf thought Marquez won the fight and although I thought the fight was a draw, I don't think Marquez won clearly but to me he didn't lose either. Pacquiaos lucky he went in being champion otherwise I think he would've lost cause usually they give the champion the benefit of doubt
You're asking all of these questions of Mayweather, but where are your questions for Team Pacquiao?

All Pacquiao had to do was take the test, prove his innocence, fight, beat Floyd, and make his fans and his countrymen happy. THAT SIMPLE.
Now, what if Manny failed the test?

Originally posted by savorduhflavor View PostIt's so true though. At the start of 2010, you asked the boxing public the following 3 questions.
Who's fighting the better opposition?
Who is more responsible for the super fight not happening?
Who's looking better in the ring?
The answer would be Pac, Floyd, Pac. Floyd had just fought Marquez and Marquez went the distance in a boring fight. Pac had just stopped Cotto in a good fight. And most viewed Floyd as not wanting to fight Pac when he started with the testing.
Fast forward today........
Pac just forced the same Marquez that Floyd wiped the floor with two years ago back up to WW and lost to him.
He's backing away from a Floyd fight when Floyd is actively pursuing the fight.
Floyd just fought a young monster in Ortiz and I guarantee if he doesn't fight Pac next he fights either Khan or Martinez, both totally legit fights. While Pac is about to fight Marquez for a 4th time or fight Bradley.
Floyd, lets be real here, was beating the **** out of Ortiz en route to a knockout if it didn't happen in the 4th anyway.
Everything in terms of the public perception has done a complete 180 in two years, it's crazy.
karceno got em on the run also its been great to listen to http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=UDbGuOd5hv4

Originally posted by bayareamike View PostTo me I just don't get how Floyd and his camp been saying to take the test a few weeks ago, Ellerbe as well, but he didn't say it after saturday, he said something about Floyd koing pacquiao and they can do Marquez later but they didn't negotiate anything new and the USDA/wada thing was still before the Marquez fight but they didn't negotiate with team Pac lately cause he was training for Marquez. So why was he saying to take the test in interviews but now they don't have a prob with it and they're saying nanny needs to man up?
Yea it's an afterthought but if manny really did agree a while ago and if Floyd held the fight up then he's just as guilty as manny is now if manny is holding the fight up. You can't just blame one and not the other and if manny is holding up the fight it is bull**** but in my opinion I really do feel Floyd held up the fight somewhat. But that's why people like us have these debates and thanks for not calling me names like this other poster did, just cause I had an opinion.
No reason to call you a name this back and forth has been civil and respectful. The way it should be on here all day everyday but we see how that goes. Good rapping man!
