Damn, this **** is unbelievable......
Now I can sort of see why that earlier poster surmised that Pac/May were working together to roadblock the fight and maximize a big payday down the line.
That scenario is ridiculous, and I do not believe it for one second, but I can see why some could come to that conclusion.
**** is unbelievable.
Tennis anyone ?
And to anybody who thinks that this was planned.....
So, Team Pacquiao and Team Mayweather are working together to delay the fight, milk the fans, and maximize a huge payday further down the line..... and yet the best excuse that they could come up with back in 2009 is that Mayweather suspected that Manny was using steroids, and Pac refused to take the test?
Yea right, get real, the split would have been the issue back then, and nothing else..... they certainly would not have used drug testing as an excuse, if both teams were secretly colluding then neither team would have risked raising questions over Manny's legitimacy.
Who the *** would agree to that ?
Certainly not Manny
Clearly, both teams wanted that fight back in 2009. Pacquiao refusing Mayweather's OSDT request is what killed the fight back then.
At the next available opportunity, in May 2010, Arum spent 7 weeks bull****ting the media over his deadline scam, and he refused to enter into legitimate negotiations with GBP instead preferring to send them a ridiculous demand that was never taken seriously and immediately slapping a deadline on it..... hardly what you would call a negotiation.
Since it became clearly obvious that Mayweather would never relinquish his testing demands, Team Pacquiao appear to have resigned themselves to the fact that if they want that huge payday they will have to wait until Manny's very last fight in order to collect it..... but they cannot make it obvious, hence the "deadline" scam.
But Mayweather rejecting a 50/50 split when he appeared to have Team Pacquiao backed into a corner seems ridiculous after already agreeing to the split.
The only thing I can think of...... is that Mayweather is tied to May 5th, and there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that date, it is the very best available date for that fight, no question...... but he has no leverage at all to push Arum into that date..... so he will agree to 50/50 if they will agree to May 5th.
If not, then Mayweather is an idiot, because he allowed Team Pacquiao to fight their way back off the ropes just like GRUS suggested earlier.
This **** is getting ridiculous.
