Bullrush - you ain't got a clue mate!
Your timelines are a bit out to say the least.
Everything that Bronx2245 wrote is pretty much spot on.
Arum is to blame pure and simple.
If Arum didn't have Pacquiao then every boxing fan would agree he's bad for boxing.

Arum is probably one of the greatest promoters not just in Boxing but in any sport or business because he has sold millions of people the pacquiao lie (Pacmans good that's not what I'm saying!).
Arum only allows Manny to box Top Rank fighters and that frankly is ridiculous.
Top Ranks undercards are abysmal also.
And now they are pushing for Marquez 5! A fight neither real fans want let alone Marquez himself!

But this again is a compilation of some bloggers biased opinions. Blacksportsonline? Come on. Manny wanted to fight him. Floyd then looked for another excuse, he wanted a blood test. That's where all this started. You don't ask others to take blood tests, you don't run boxing. Just because Manny wasn't going to get bossed around like that doesn't mean it's on them. It's Floyd's fault for asking for that ****** test. And had Manny done that, again, Floyd would have found another excuse, not paying Manny enough for that fight and splitting up the purse. If Manny wants 60/40 Floyd is gonna say 65/35. And so on. Either way you slice it, Floyd is the one to blame. He's pulled that **** already many times, go look at the interviews. Like I said, first he wants the blood test, then Manny accepts the blood test, suddenly Floyd doesn't want Manny to get paid 55/45 or 60/40. And yet you're gonna blame Pacman/Arum/TR? And completely ignore the rest?

I lf someone asked me to take a blood test as part of an agreement to fight on the biggest grossing fight of all time I would've cut myself open there and then!
Mayweather had every right to ask for a blood test. The same way fighters in World title fights every month ask for certain things. I.e. Glove type, Ring entrance, dressing rooms, handwrap checking and so many little things that would take ages to list!
The drug testing only became a big deal because it was refused!!! How the hell can't people see that?

That's why there's Manny's 24/7 hotline to confirm he'll accept unlimited testing by any man, woman, or duck. Just for Floyd.

Showtime took the contract hoping his last fight be Pac.

What kind of goofball are you? Any decent man would have told whoever tries to boss you around like that to **** off.

Somebody should explain to you how boxing actually works. Fighters are there to fight, they don't make the rules, they don't test other people, they don't ask people to get tested. Where do you see this? In what sport? It doesn't happen. Typical Mayweather fanboy.

Again, you're a typical fanboy that doesn't make any sense. Fighters have a right to wear certain gloves. It's between the fighters, they have to negotiate what gloves they're going to use before the fight. If Floyd wants Grant and Manny wants Cleto they have to get together and figure something out. That has nothing to do with any commissions or the rules of boxing. As long as they WBO or whatever organization approved, the rest doesn't matter. It's so ******ed for you to even argue about ring entrance music compared to Floyd asking for blood tests, like he's running boxing, trying to boss other fighters around. If Floyd told you to come out to some gay ass song would you do that? Secondly Manny was going to do the blood test, how many more times do we have to mention this? Are you blind/deaf? He was ok with the blood testing, then Floyd again avoided Manny by not accepting whatever Manny asked for in terms of the purse he'd be paid. You make no sense whatsoever. Just shut up.

Showtime will oblige Mayweather to face Pacquiao, you can count on that

At $32 million minimum purse they have to, or else Espinoza has some serious answering to do with the higher ups. In the meantime, Haymon is laughing and waiting for the next Espinoza to put his ***** into.

Is it okay for Manny to ask for blood tests NOW? Is it okay for Manny fans to accuse JMM of PEDs? Floyd got sued for that. Is it okay to force people to sign contract extensions to fight Manny, GGG, etc.? What media outlets would be credible for you? New York Times, Wall Street Journal, LA Times? Please tell me.
