Comments Thread For: Roach Doubts CBS Can Deliver 'Shot' Floyd Mayweather

There were clearly no more "obstacles". Team Manny even introduced the ridiculous $10m per pound over the weight limit clause (which was absolutely insane btw), and Floyd agreed to that.

Everything, and I mean everything else had been settled. Only one man walked away though over a perfectly reasonable testing clause. One he no longer has an issue with. How can that man not be held accountable for the deal falling apart?

Who said anything about Pac not being held accountable. ANYONE who is not biased by hate and agenda knows both guys are to blame. And you talk about Pac walking from a reasonable testing clause but you completely forgot that Pac has agreed to full testing for years. If you think Mayweather saying he would not work with Arum or Pac had to fight other fighters first among other obstacles aren't hindrances to a potential fight, you are seriously clueless. Both are to blame, that is not an opinion, it is a fact because both have put up blocks that are documented. A number of them.

My point is that we'd have had the fight then if he hadn't walked away from it, and we wouldn't be wasting our time arguing about it years down the line.

Has Floyd been a **** about negotiations since then, hell yeah, but I would too if someone walked away from a perfectly reasonable offer.

My point is, we don't know if they would have signed the fight based on where they were at. Both are Prima Donna's, both think they are the A side. And then all the other ego's on their team don't add up to smooth operations. When anyone says all the details or almost all the details are worked out, countless times that has lead to fights not being made.
