ur fighter ducked the fight over drug tests the fact u guys overlook this with the way u talk about other ped fighters honestly baffles me as well its literally completely ignored and you guys even try to say mayweather asked for it to not have to fight what does that even mean? he knew manny was on ped? there was no more demands the contract was already written people
when did pacquiao say, "I will not take the test"?

Mayweather to son:
Health comes first.
I'm a rich coward.
I am smart.
I want an even playing field. You use my gloves, but I won't use yours.
It has to be May 2. Just because I say so. I own that date.
Take the test. But I failed it myself and got a vampire facial. I can't give you a urine sample until after 5 hours.
Punch and hold. Run around the ring against Maidana.
You can say this: TBE!TBE!TBE! Go ahead, take your time....Comment

You are basically discribing what is a "hype job". Do you honestly think that pacquiao is some sort of "hype job"?Comment

Cotto is still a free agent, so just fine. HBO fight against Delvin Rodriguez, won the middleweight championship from a damaged "Maravilla" Martinez, and now has HBO/Golden Boy/Alvarez by the set, with a $15m payday there for the taking, yet still free to chase the specter of another Mayweather fight. Oscar can butter up to Bob as much as he wants, but Cotto is the one that decides his own fate.
After the JMM deadening, money is definitely harder to come by; still, Pacquiao has name value and HBO is willing to air him. Have a loyal person, who understands the parameter of contracts, negotiate with all of the relevant parties on your behalf and take the shot.
Macau didn't do business with Top Rank because they had any interest in Bob Arum; they did business with Top Rank because that was how they would get Shiming and Pacquiao. Why not cut the middleman?
Money may be an issue but Pacquiao could have his loyal person work to secure the fight, hire a promotional company that he likes to handle the logistics, leverage his own star power to secure a quality site fee, front the costs for the event, and make his own money off of the 1-3 years it'll take for the residuals to come in.
As long as he doesn't take another L, he's still good for $30m-$40m in PPV revenue, imo. More work, but the money's there.Comment
