    You bodied your own thread with the first post. LOL.

    I don't think any business move went more wrong than Adonis Stevenson orchestrating the greatest duck of all time.

      Its already haunting them.

      I know the sarcastic jokes are coming but i truly see this as one of the most horrible business moves of recent memory. It was there.
      Seeing all the roadblocks Floyd kept putting (and still is), there's no guarantee the fight would have happened anyway.

        there's no guarantee the fight would not have happened either.

        But i see it as a horrible business move. Call the bluff but didnt happen and instead walked.

          Well, if you're gonna saying Pacquaio "walking away" is a horrible business move, then you might as well say the same for Floyd's roadblocks.

            First one's that come to mind are:

            -The Adonis/Haymon/Showtime deal/duck.

            -Showtime paying Floyd $32mil per fight and thus far only 1 fight did over 1mil ppv buys. Good for Floyd. Terrible investment for Showtime.

            -Quillen turning down a career high payday for a TBA opponent.

            -Kirkland turning down multiple high profile fights.

            -Showtime hiring Stephen Espinoza to head Showtime Sports.

              In no way shape or form do i think testing is a roadblock and team Pac IMO has put up more.

              But not interested in this convo again so it was a bad business decision

                If testing was all it took, then the fight should have happened since Pacquiao agreed to a random blood testing and yet, it still didn't. It's hard to call that a bad business decision if it wasn't going to make the fight happen anyway.

                  Try to spin how you want but it was a bad business move any way you look at it.

                    Khan signing up with Haymon hoping to get a Mayweather fight was definitely a bad business deal. Khan won the poll against Maidana & Mayweather didn't fight him. Now Khan's stuck fighting nobodies which is exactly what you get with Haymon.

                      The Showtime 6 fight deal with Mayweather is good for Mayweather but real bad for Sho.
