Funny how when:
Floyd says something, you say "it was an indication that Floyd was serious"
Manny says something, you say "it was an indication that Manny was NOT serious"
Drug Testing:
- First came the ACCUSATION that a boxer/politician was taking illegal PEDS when Floyd had NO PROOF. This in itself should bring su****ion to anyone ... but I'm sure you're OK with Floyd doing that because for you it must have meant that Floyd was serious in getting the fight on.
- Prior to Manny, who has Floyd asked for testing?
- Initially, Manny gave in and agreed to testing but not to the point that Floyd wished for .... but you don't mention that! and Floyd didn't to the point Manny wanted. It may be hard for you to digest but it goes both ways!
- Manny and Floyd were in discussion so Floyd knew what Manny would and wouldn't do(ie. the limit). So for Floyd, 14 days was a "safe" cutoff date. Secondly, Floyd could still have said, "I change my mind, no cutoffs or bring up the no 50/50 sooner."
- Remember that even back then Floyd mentioned that he wouldn't do 50/50. See above point!
- TAKE THE TEST AND WE HAVE A FIGHT! People who bought the T-Shirts should sue!!! lol!
50/50:
- Are you serious? There was the Testing roadblock at the time but when Manny said OK to testing, Floyd said no to 50/50 and put a NEW roadblock!
$40 million for Manny all PPV for Floyd:
- You agree it was wrong of Floyd. So you need to ask yourself why would he go to that extreme?
Roadblocks:
- Floyd fans said time after time, all Manny needs to do is bluff Floyd and if Floyd puts another roadblock then we know who doesn't want the fight. Well now, there have been several roadblocks/delays from Accusations, Drug testing, vacations, jail, money, .... all due to Floyd!!!!
Manny played hardball you say:
- When has Manny played hardball by asking Floyd to do something that would be considered a roadblock that was not created by Floyd?
Arum: I don't trust Arum and Floyd but I trust that Manny wants this fight due to his actions.
- Still you need to ask yourself, what were all the big roadblocks and who placed these roadbocks? Notice the pattern? The answer to that question is FLoyd NOT Arum!!!
Marquez & Cotto:
- May I remind you that even if negotiations were tough, Manny fought Marquez 4 times and Cotto once. Manny vs Floyd after 3 years ..... 0 fights!!! So your logic does not hold!
Manny giving in:
- Manny gave in to drug testing and taking less yet you say it's not because Manny wants the fight? YIKES!!! .... but for you, Floyd putting all those roadblocks is OK and that he wants the fight? Terrible logic on your part!
While I questioned it, I tried my best to say that it was all part of negotiations at first but once Floyd pulled the "I WANT ALL PPV MONEY" I now think that Floyd is not interested in this fight .... his 0 is way too precious to lose even though Floyd is the favourite. Floyd and company have been spooked since Hatton but when it really changed for them was when big Cotto lost badly to Manny. Just listen to Roger, Floyd Sr and Jr ... they said what Manny has done was incredible.
