All that happened was a bunch of Al Haymon fighter's getting caught being involved with or using PED's.

Floyd didnt demand testing for the good of the sport. He used it to insinuate Pac was a cheat just to slander Pac's name as a ploy. And IMO out of jealousy for Pac's popularity.
It was a tactical move by Floyd to score the first blow. To show who was the top dog, and make Manny jump through hoops.
If Floyd had gone about it in a more professional way, stating that testing needs to be done for the sport, then he gets full credit. But todays drug testing requirements are a positive accidental by-product of Floyds negative moronic attitude.
Its a case of something good coming out of something bad.

Perhaps he should have made his statement dressed in Top-Hat and tails at a luncheon hall on Wall Street???
The result was the same its just Mayweather's style doesn't appeal you.
Aw shucks I guess Manny going into politics and screwing over his own countrymen works for you?

2) Floyd called Manny to fight him May 2012, MGM grand. Bob Arum said no because Pacquiaos cuts take six months to heal, and then that they couldn't fight because they had to build a stadium on the Las Vegas strip first.
I'll be in Vegas in a few weeks and ill report back on how Bob Arum's stadium is coming along.

And there was me thinking it was gonna be an interesting thread when I read the title.
There's been massive, massive changes in the names and dynamics in most of the divisions, you coulda talked about the big prospects of 2010 who have disappeared, the new guys who have shot up the ranks and burst onto the boxing world. You coulda even talked about the HBO/TR vs SHO/GBP cold war - possibly the biggest change of all....
But what do we get....the one topic where things have hardly changed at all... the bitter rivalry between fans of Manny Pacquiao and fans of Floyd Mayweather Jr -still sniping at each other just as they were 3 years ago, and still acting as if these 2 fighters are the only thing that matters in the sport.
