Comments Thread For: Mayweather: No Shot For Pacquiao , He Blew His Chance

[Reloaded]

Neither Floyd nor Arum wanted it in 2009. I honestly think that Pacquiao would fight anyone. He's taken losses and I don't think taking more bothers him. If it wasn't drug testing it would've been something else at Floyd's end. And if Floyd removed every barrier, Arum would have put up more.

Dreamboat lol , fight anyone will he , except winners and WWs ask Alvarez why he was paid shut up money when Rios was chosen .

You kids are soooooooooo in a box .

Your the one spinning things, cant even answer a Yes or No question. But I guess I misunderstood you, you really meant "No athlete should every say no unless your Pac" And how and why do I lose? Also what is this world of fanboyism your talking about?

No you knew all along but tried to spin it. And i answered your question but i guess ypu choose to ignore it. If Pac had said yes to test then yes floyd should have but we all know, or choose not to believe, tht pac said no ad walked. Oh yeah he needed cut-offs.

Yeah I think testing is shady definitely, especially with the Wright Quillin situation and Victor Conte of all people behind the scenes at VADA.

But still, why couldn't Manny at least pretend to take tests. If they are so crap and easy to beat just take the damn things

I don't think Floyd was onboard with Pac using his test agency of choice. He was dead set on USADA, which coincidentally are on his and GBP's payroll

You guys always forgetting that, Team Pac AGREED to the testing BUT with a 14 day cut-off, BUT agreed to give blood right after the fight.
Floyd didnt want a cut -off date, and thats when team pac walked

Dont forget that pac agreed to the 14 day and testing right after fight!!!
lmao the fn peds would show the day of the fight anyway, so pac would juice out of his ass for 14 days, then stop day before the fight of testing??
Floyd def was the one ducking, ask all the greats: Tyson, Holyfield, Leonard, they all wanted to fight the best of their time, but floyd def ducked

What does giving blood after the fight have to do with anything when you have 14 days to mask it. Be serious now

Definitely the biggest mistake Pac ever made in the negotiation. He would have called Floyd's testing bluff and exposed Floyd on the spot. Floyd would have come up with another excuse not to fight as we have seen in the last four years.

Pac attempted to make it right in the second negotiation with HBO's Greenburg's supervision and Floyd avoided the most lucrative fight he'll ever have in his career since. Who in his right mind would just ignore such a once-in-a-lifetime chance to beat the Pacman and make huge money at the same time? Floyd the juicer afraid to fight Pacman is something you'll never hear or read in any sport history.

VADA wasn't even around for Manny to choose then

I can agree with that. How do you turn down crappy testing, then sue instead? Very lame duck move on Pacquiao's part.

Mayweather will be making more money against Canelo than he would against Manny I bet. It's an IN HOUSE fight with one promoter, a manager and one guy getting a monster cut of PPV (Mayweather) in a huge fight where Floyd dictated everything basically.

I'm guessing Canelo gets around 15 million. Mayweather around 65 million

[twosweethooks]

last time i checked. ducquiao is the one that turned down a (GUARANTEED $40 MILLION DOLLARS) unheard of in sports. to me that makes pacquiao the biggest ducker of all time

Mang you are in the spin zone !!!

The World knows that Jr offered the 40 mill but then wanted all the PPV money, so what you said was a dumbass maneuver!!

That makes you gullible

The WORLD knows that May Jr is the Main Duck of AAAAAAALLLLLLLLL Time !

[JaYDeuce11]

That last negotiation was kind of ridiculous, cuz Floyd offered Manny 40 mil flat with NO PPV split. And in the last rounds of negotiations they agreed to a 50/50 split. so to go from 50/50 to way less was another ridiculous counter by Floyd. This was also still when Manny did not lose yet to Bradley.

Boxing has way too many promotions/sanctions/b.s. unlike other sports where the 2 best always somehow play each other.

They could always use a WADA subsidiary, which Arum proposed. USADA doesn't even test in the Philippines, so WTF were they thinking insisting on it?
