Disecting Floyd's "health comes first" statements.

[Deevel916]

Nice, took him 3+ years to do it. Why didn't he make it a non issue during that time?

It isnt an issue now so what's the problem? Its still the biggest fight that can be made in boxing.

You're acting as if Pac is asking for the same deal as 4 yrs ago.

Blood test?...accepted.

Less money?....accepted.

Oh I forgot. Pac has to leave arum, join tmt, give floyd fights first, and he must break his contract with HBO and it has to be done on Showtime.

Sounds like real reasonable terms!

Mayweather may have joked about Pac signing with TMT when asked professionally and seriously twice, he said he promotes it and on his network. Not crazy at all. If you had a guy who turned down two offers including 50-50 and has now seen his selling power dip and his stature following a horrific, embarrassing KO loss...what can he really say except, "I don't care who promotes it or who airs it. I just want the fight."

Or he can turn it down a third time.

Giving offers that are rediculous are the same as saying "I dont want the fight" without saying "I dont want the fight".

Floyd knows Pac is under contract with both HBO and TR. Asking him to break those contracts in order for the fight to happen is something he knows Pac cant do without being sued therefore he knows it wont happen.

So? Manny was a free agent last year. Why didn't he do what Cotto did and just make the fight? Cotto went back to Arum after. Manny could have too. Guess he doesn't want the fight. Nothing ridiculous about the B-side having to fight under the A-side's promotion. Get over it.

The second quote, the Ali related one, is the most telling IMO. It is as clear as day, he admits to ducking and goes on to explain why.

Yea, exactly. People act like Floyds hasn't openly admitted to ducking Pacquiao. He's not smart enough to hide it when he speaks, but it's true, he admits he is ducking Pacquiao.

Arum has already stated that both networks are willing to co-host the fight and he's willing to let Floyd be the lead promoter.

What's the next excuse?

Like i said, posters love living in a fog. Helps hide the truth and lets them continue their fake crusades

Never heard that one

I don't know what Arum will say AFTER the Algieri fight but I'll bet his next excuse will be something about Manny's guarantee or some other bull****.

He only started this "health first" and "cleaning up the sport of boxing" BS after everyone called him out to fight Manny. He was obviously trying to insinuate PAC was on PEDs to discredit his wins, which were far more impressive than his own wins against the same guys (Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, etc.)

After all the testing demands were agreed to, and even a smaller % for PAC, he just threw up other roadblocks (must sign to Mayweather promotions). It is pretty obvious to most boxing fans what is going on here...

The thing is, Floyd is now backing himself into a corner by saying every other contender has [ ] problems... He will soon have no choice but to fight PAC or retire.
