20 Floyd excuses for not fighting Pac

[Larry the boss]

The only "excuse" that matters:


Floyd Mayweather: I'm not going to fight Pac because Pac won't agree to drug testing because he claims he needs a whopping 24 days to recover from giving less than 2 tbsps of blood

only to turn around and demand all his opponents take random testing after JMM almost killed him

Floyd could have gotten any fight he wanted made...the fact that it didn't get made until it did...I mean it is pretty obvious that Floyd, for whatever reason, didn't really want the fight at that time...he felt it was too risky for him as far as losing his 0 at that time...I think that is pretty clear.

I remember when Sugar Ray, lost to Duran. He told his camp he wanted the Duran rematch make that happen, and they made that Duran rematch happen asap.

It wasn't until the suits was tired of Floyd making no risk, high reward fights with lessor opposition and Manny being ko'd. Then we got some better enthusiasm.

Of course Floyd would sign some contracts with stricter drug demands, he was the one ordering it. And for what?

That doesn't mean anything solid imo, and if Manny is guilty of anything, its not allowing the Mayweather camp to buttf**k him at the bargaining table. I can respect that.

They both came to a stalemate behind a proper cutoff date for random blood, and why was Manny so special that Floyd felt the need to Olympic style test him in the first place?

If Floyd wanted that fight to happen, he would have made it easy for Manny to sign, not difficult. But we know Floyd Boys live off the "Manny walked away" excuse to cover up that 6 year duck

So what you're saying is that Mayweather made it so hard for Pacquiao to sign for the fight in 2009/10 because of the drug testing protocol? As Larry already mentioned, Pacquiao then began asking for such testing himself, so how did that make it so hard for him?


I would love to hear your opinion on whether you think Manny Pacquiao truly needed 24 days to recover from giving 2tbsps of blood. Or does that seem like an excuse to you.

This topic has been beaten to death and back to life and back to death 1000 times over years ago.

1-Manny was fighting no risk high reward as well

2-Manny signed for less then 50/50 and still random drug testing..so in reality he messed himself over for no reason at all

3-Guy walked away over drug testing himself would demand in the future

From what i read, Floyd wanted Olympic Style ramdom blood testing with 14 day cutoff, Manny wanted 24 days and there was a stalemate, which Manny eventually said yes to 14 days, but Floyd moved the goalposts to no cutoff, that ended everything.

It's my belief if Floyd wanted this fight he would have made it happen.

I believe it was more about pride, character and ego for Manny in 2010 than it was about the testing itself.

Other than that, start a Manny ducked Floyd thread and you and the Floyd Boys can list all the excuses.

Floyd didn’t want to fight a prime Pacquiao.
Point blank period.

I hear what you're saying, but Floyd changed to no cut-off right after Pac declined the 14 day cut off.


Do you honestly believe that Pac needed 24 days to recover from giving 2tbsps of blood? Keep it real, bro.

And for the record, I believe Arum, not Pac, stalled this fight. What I can't understand is why Pac allowed it, however.

None of those things matter.
PAC could’ve agreed to whatever Mayweather asked and Floyd would just come up with another demand.

Floyd didn’t want that fight at that time. Point blank period.
