And that's a problem why? Fighter from different promoter fight all the time. Didn't Arum and Oscar say they are working together, so again why have they not happened?Comment

Can you imagine what a phone conversation with Floyd & Manny would sound like? One speaks English (barely) as a second language, and the other struggles with his own native tongue at 6th grade level ebonics. They would need translators and interpreters for their translators

Time and time again Floyd Mayweather continues to prove he is T.B.P.O.S.E.
You can't buy Legacy, Money, no matter how hard you try and convince people. Only your disciples are buying your schtick. At the least the public knows who doesn't want to fight who here. Hopefully this nonsense will end soon one way or another.Comment

It took me forever to find this but from the very beginning its been nothing but lies and contradictions from Manny and his camp. This proves that from the beginning they wanted no part of Floyd. They knew from the get go Floyd wanted the Olympic testing and they were fine with it, only to turn around and say it was a problem now and Floyd was using it as a stall tactic, WTF?
In a video titled "Boxing Legend Freddie Roach Updates Us On Pacquiao" uploaded to YouTube on December 11, 2009, Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, revealed the first hint about Mayweather's request for Olympic-style drug testing, telling roving reporter Elie Seckbach, "I hear negotiations are a little shady. Schaefer and them are unhappy about something. They want Olympic-style drug testing. I said, 'Yeah, no problem.' I said, 'Whatever you want.' Since we accepted that, now they're running scared again."
On December 13, 2009, Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz, said Mayweather's request for Olympic-style drug testing was a laughing matter and they had no concerns whatsoever about it. "Our reaction is, 'So what?' We know Manny doesn't take any illegal drugs or anything. And none of this is getting under Manny's skin or anything. I'm here with Manny, and to him, it's like a joke. It's a laughing matter," said Koncz.
After reports had surfaced that both parties had agreed to all terms, Golden Boy Promotions released a press release on December 22, 2009, revealing that Pacquiao was unwilling to comply with the Olympic-style drug testing requested by Team Mayweather. The following day, Bob Arum, Top Rank founder and CEO, declared the fight was off and Pacquiao would be facing a different opponent. "We appeased Mayweather by agreeing to a urine analysis at any time, and blood testing before the press conference and after the fight. Mayweather pressed for blood testing even up to the weigh-in. He knew that Manny gets freaked out when his blood gets taken and feels that it weakens him. This is just harassment and, to me, just signaled that he didn't want the fight," Arum told David Mayo of the Grand Rapids Press.Comment

i see what you're saying,that 's true also.Maybe you don't understand because normal people don't analyze every word literally. you look at context and history to get a clears understanding. you also don't ignore the actions of others.
Outside of NSB it would be real simple-the fight was refused so the guy must not want it. Once you get on NSB you try and fit into the group mindset of "its Floyd's fault" so you try and fit everything into that box-even when it clearly doesn't fit.
That's why you get really crazy things like "the offers were designed to be refused" and "asking for testing equals ducking".Comment
