You don't get it. There has to be a negotiation for papers to be signed. Why do you think Floyd called Pac on the phone and discussed a commission split???????

There were negotiations. Unless you were living under a rock, everybody should know that Pacquiao refused random testing and didn't sign the contract for that reason. For him to say he's willing now and it's "for the good of boxing" makes him look bad no matter how you want to spin it. Overlooking that is a pathetic excuse. Anything said through the media is not "agreeing" to anything. Signing a contract is the only thing that matters.

Just to refresh your memory, here is a timeline of events. Before anyone claims "fighthype is biased" these links are not from fighthype. They just posted them.

He didn't agree to it on paper. A contract when it mattered. What he said through the media years after the fact means nothing.

So if it's needed on paper to be agreed upon, how did Floyd agree to all of Mannys demands? You know, the talking point you fools salivate over, "Floyd agreed to all of Mannys demands, Manny couldn't even agree to one of Floyd's".

Mighty fine corner you painted yourself into. Have fun leaving footprints as you walk out of it.

So he agreed 4 years ago yet didnt take the tests until now? All champs should be doing it, the face of boxing should definitely have been doing it yet he waited for years. Feel free to give him the pat on the back that you never gave Mayweather even though hes been taking the test for the last few years.

Floyd avoided tests for 39 fights spanning over a decade. why didn't he take it then?

2010- ''Who is Mayweather, let the commission do their job".
2012- Gets knocked out by marquez.
2013- "I'm fine with random drug testing, it's good for boxing".

Priceless.

It's simple. He agreed by signing the contract which included 50/50, 8 oz gloves, 10 million per pound,... It's that simple if you aren't lacking brain cells.

I'm not "salivating" over anything because it's not that important to me.. Only NSB idiot trolls like you consider this to be a major part of your life. Your avatar speaks for itself.

Maybe he thought the previous 38 opponents were clean and ped free

Well... Floyd still has that 90% purse to keep avoiding Pac... no wait... He is fighting Pac now that he is declining & got KO'd.

At least save the excuses till after

Read the timeline I posted, if you can read. If you don't believe it, it's up to you to prove it isn't true.
