Pacquiao would never do that. He goes by existing rules. There was no requirement and thus will not demand it.
He could have done it for the Marquez fight, specially after knowing the background of Marquez' conditioning coach, if anyone would have been on PEDs it would have been Marquez, did you see how cut and big he looked? Nothing like the Marquez that went against Mayweather.
If Pac asked Marquez, would anyone have got pissed? I wouldn't....but I'm sure some poeple would call him a hypocrite for not agreeing to Mayweathers demand. I bet they wanted to ask Marquez to take test, but couldn't because of this crapComment

Regarding the 10 million penalty, you yourself just said that's something no fighter would agree to. That's the point I was trying to make, no fighter would agree to something like that and not negotiate it down if they're really serious.
Mayweather agreed to the 10 million because he had no intention of ever making that fight. So to him agreeing to the 10 million was meaningless as far as he was concerned. It could have been 100 million and he would not have cared because he had excuses planned and ready to make sure the fight was not going to happen.
Pac gave mega excuses on why not to take them tests. Floyd was ready to lose 10 MIL for 1LB over 147, but Pac was not willing to give blood "RANDOMLY" and make 40MIL. How come this doesn't make compute to you? On top of that. There is a video on youtube (look it up yourself) with Freddie Roach saying that they would agree to any tests Mayweather wanted and once they did, Mayweather would run away. Seriously, you Pac supporters need to be in tune and do research in the sport before you guys talk and try to debate with people on here serious about boxing. How can you tell me facts are not truth then make up your own reasons about how people were and are thinking?Comment

Floyd comments during Ortiz campaign: First off, thank the media. Thank HBO. I thank my staff. Thank all the sponsors, Richard Schaefer-they call it Golden Boy Promotions, but I prefer to call it Richard Schaefer Promotion because he's done a hell of a job. Richard Schaefer is a great guy.
My guess is because what would normally cost him a dollar, will now only cost him a quarter. Plus Golden Boy has connections with HBO and other media outlets, it gives him access to fight GBP fighters, and it allows GBP to showcase their younger fighters on his undercard...win/win for both. Plus he doesn't have the number of employees GBP has, which assist in all the marketing crap, etc, which Mayweather pays them for, but at a discounted rate, compared to running a full scale one on his own...sure there are other benefits but this is just my guess. Sure there are a ton more reasonsComment

It was the talk with Pacquiao when he first used that demand. Then he had to continue with the demand with other fighters so as not to look like a hypocrite. Obviously the others would jump at the chance to make their biggest pay day. That's the whole purpose why they are in the fight game, to make money.
There was never any intention on Mayweather to actually make the fight with Pacquiao and we're seeing the continuation of that.
George Peterson a close associate of Al Haymon was quoted in Dec 2009 "that fight will never happen" he would not disclose why he said that but he said "I can't say anymore but some fights are just not meant to happen". He obviously knew something was up.Comment

It will grow, because he can focus on recruiting young fighters and investors. GBP started, he grabbed several top fighters to invest in the company, hired the right people. Mayweather is upstart, but if you want to call making 40 mil vs Ortiz, 60-65 mil easily vs Cotto weak then go aheadComment

Ummmm.... the only reason the fight didn't happen was because Pac wanted to know exactly when he was going to be tested. He had no issue with the blood testing but rather wanted to take the word "RANDOM" out of the equation. Once Mayweather would not agree to Pac and him knowing when they would be tested, then Pac went to fight Clottey. How does that come out to Floyd not wanting the fight? I'm curious to know how you know that Floyd never intended to fight Pac by accepting the 10MIL dollar penalty over 147? He accepted it. How would he know that Pac had a problem with giving blood and afraid of needles?

Pac is a ******, and uncle Bob is one of the lowest life forms on the planet. PAC's "team" aka Arum has ALWAYS been about his money. *uck Pac, cotto, etc, etc. Arum is single handedly destroying the sport. Pac is SO FULL OF HSIT he is drowning himself.
I can remember Pac's whole problem with making the 2nd fight with JMM. JMM got accused by Pac of only wanting the rematch for the money... right? So He says something about fighting for honor, and by doing so demanded JMM take less than what he deserved. Pac has had a lot of conditions and excuses over the years with almost all of his opponents after JMM1. Dude needs one of these by his record
*
Arum needs a ****in bullet. I hate D. White but I respect the fact that he is on his Hsit instead of doing the whole political BS cover ups that Bob loves.
To bad no boxer has pulled a Tyson on him like King got.
May isn't all right either, but Arum is a scumbag and Pac is just along for the ride because he cant drive so he is like FTW.Comment
