Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Think The Mayweather Fight Will Happen

[AllBoxingAD]

It was all planned and calculated by Floyd and company.

You are saying that it was nothing but if you go back 6 years ago and remember what happened it was. Manny was ACCUSED of taking PEDs and then you expected him to be all nice and happy about it?

Here is what they really thought about PEDs going into that negotiation. Just the request for a test was enough to cancel the fight. Not even any accusations thrown around:

Mosley vs Judah - 2008 (Cancelled)
More recently in 2008, according to ESPN.com, Zab Judah requested Sugar Shane Mosley to agree to blood testing before their non-title welterweight fight which had been scheduled for May 31 of that year in Las Vegas. However, the fight never happened because Golden Boy CEO, Richard Schaeffer, refused the Olympic-style drug testing requested by the Judah camp, stating, "Whatever tests they [the Nevada State Athletic Commission] want them to take, Shane will submit to that. [But] We are not going to do other tests than the Nevada commission requires. The fact is, Shane is not a cheater and he does not need to be treated like one."

So you are saying Pac turned down 50/50 and the biggest fight in history because Floyd was being mean? What are we in kindergarden? Manny took his ball and went home huh.

Also, Shane didnt hesitate to take the tests against Floyd. If you want a big fight you come ready to concede certain things and you make it happen.

Who cares! Fight is coming!

Using your logic, in 2012 Floyd had turned down $100+ million when Manny was OK to take the PED test and make Floyd get more money. So Floyd was acting like he was in his diapers?

Didn't you even read what happened in that negotiation and who they were??? They were being disrespected and wanted known of that. The point is that those are the same people that spoke out of the other side of their mouth when it came to Manny and began their ACCUSATIONS. If you don't get it, that is your problem. You have no idea what you are talking about buddy. Manny sued them.

You also need to remember that being the biggest fight, you don't want to lose your edge or be at a disadvantage going into the fight either physically or mentally. Manny truly believed that he lost against Morales in part because of giving blood close to the fight. So even if you think it may be nonsense, it is the way Manny felt at the time. So it was important to him.

You got a link to prove that 100+ million offer with PED testing was made in 2012?

Ill wait.

Yes Manny sued, but boxers should settle their differences INSIDE the ring. Thats how its always been, how it always will be. Being mean to each other has NEVER been used a reason to duck out of a fight before.

Oh and by the way... Floyd's camp and GBP are NOT the same entity. You wanna hold Floyd responsible for what Mosley decides to do with his career? lol. Nice try though.

Again, Manny is certainly free to blame his loss on whatever he wants. On a certain level all athletes do. Thats where the concession part comes in. Ill point out that Manny has been doing OSDT recently, and we haven't heard anything about it affecting his camp or performance.

[Reloaded]

Do you honestly think that was the ONLY issue that stopped the fight back then? A PED test he eventually agreed to? What happened after he agreed?

Yea.. more roadblocks. Leave Arum, Sign with TMT, etc. ring a bell?

How can you honestly think Floyd wanted the fight back then? Have you seen any of his stuttering, contradictory interviews during that time where he constantly shoots himself in the foot? His fear of Manny was REAL, and on display for the entire world to see. "He just gonna walk thru Cotto?!"
A PED test wasn't the only issue, Floyd had/has an entire list of ridiculous demands.

Yes the PEDS test is the only reason the fight never happened when ALL else was agreed to including a 50/50 split .

This is easy to prove and common knowledge so wtf are you on about over things stopped the fight at that time , there was nothing else except the PEDS test which Manny refused even a 14 day cut off , watch the videos kid , Manny says 15 days is no good because he is training lol .

A link? The potential was there and the point is that Foyd left a bigger pie yet you are not crapping on Floyd. How come?

Schaeffer and Floyd were working for the same side. I thought you knew that. BOTH got sued.

Floyd Mayweather Jr will whoop Manny Pacquiao's ass and he will STILL get hated on. The only way people will like Floyd is if he loses his 0. The public is sick and tired of seeing Floyd win all the time.

Don't act like i ain't told you so son aye

[PAC-BOY]

Don't act like i ain't told you so son aye

[alumey457]
