So then it's finally settled, Mayweather openly ducked the fight. Good for him, I'm glad he's finally come clean and put this all to rest.

This ***** coward Mayweather still talking **** but not trying to make the fight? So Mayweather can hit women but won't fight Pacquiao... What a guy to look up to...

Um maybe because those fighters u mention are under a different promoter and promotional company? Did u thought of that?

Lmao did you? I guess it's different for Floyd and Manny since Floyd is involved huh?

This forum can't be taken seriously. Same idiots arguing over the same **** for 6+ years. Zero ****s given about facts.Its hilarious reading the comments tho.

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.

This right here shows what most logical people know, that Arum has been THE ROADBLOCK holding up this fight. Roach and Pac were willing to make the fight, but Arum wanted no part of it. And from a business standpoint I can completely understand why. If Pac loses, then Arum has lost his cash cow. Now if by some slim chance Pac was to win, then what? He would no longer be able to sell Pac as the man who can beat Floyd and sales will go down.

I LOVE THIS QUOTE... I'm sorry..I'm stealing this line..Mayweather stole the 24/7 idea from Oscar, so I'm going to steal this quote...

LOL this quote made my night..your rep points should be multiplied 1,000,000X

So I guess this means theyre not gonna fight. Alright, time to follow new young boxers, everyone. Out with the old and in with the new.

Doesnt mean that at all , it means they are shooting at each other on a personal level , its all good keep it going .

After reading this:

::scratches Mayweather off of potential TBE list::

[chardrnm]

Mayweather is his own boss if he wants to fight someone he get it. I know you can beat Pacquiao you just have to prove it in the ring in front of boxing fans all over the world. Old excuses and new excuses doesnt count anymore. I''ll wait for your 2 last fight with Showtime and we hope as boxing fans you should fight the next best boxer come 2015. To be consider TBE you should fight the best. You can fight Amir Khan if he win against Kell Brook and fight Pacquiao if he gets past Algieri. You can fight Keith Thurman maybe but he still need to defeat someone like Bradley, Marquez and etc.

Can people really be this naïve? Mayweather has literally been the only one who has tried to make the fight. Please show me one time when team Pac has tried to make the fight.
