I'm gonna have to go with MAyweather. Now I think Paquio not taking blood tests is sketchy. However, the other thread said Pac bowed to some more the the testing and Floyd stood strong. Well you can't negotiate if one person refuses to give a little of the pie. If Mayweather really wanted to fight he would give in a little on the testing things.

I have to go with Pac. There is a reason he doesn't want to do the Olympic tests.

Mayweather. If I am not mistaken, this is the first time in history that a professional fighter has demanded different drug testing rules than what Nevada already requires. Mayweather is trying to play mind games with Pac, and Pac doesn't want to give in to unprecedented demands from an opponent. Seems to me like Pac has already made some concessions, and that's not good enough for some reason.

Lol and 10million dollars per pound overweight is unprecedented too, so each had their unusual demands. Except Mayweather agreed and Pac acted lke a little girl about it

yea there is a reason , because this aint the olympics. mayweather is 40-0 , how many of those other fighters did he ask to take olympic drug testing? now all of a sudden he wants manny to take them? maybe he justs wants to remain a pretty boy

There are always penalties for not making weight Hb31187.
Mayweather failed to make weight in his last fight and it cost him $600,000 dollars, which is cheap considering the opponent can(and they sometimes do) refuse to fight if the other guy didn't make weight.

Hopkins was going to have to pay big money if he had failed to make the 158 lb limit for both the Trinidad and De La Hoya fights.
Nothing unprecedented about huge penalties for not making weight.

Mayweather is the one who wants the rules changed then wants them changed even more when Manny agreed TWICE.

If either fighter doesn't want any of the other guy it is clearly Mayweather.

I might say Mayweather is more afraid because of the unusual demands. BUT Pac not agreeing means he obviously is hiding something.

Yeah I know theres always fines for that, but 10 million a pound is outrageous

Kinda like theres always blood testing but olympic style is outrageous


So each had an outrageous demand and Mayweather agreed to it and Pac didnt

Anyone who says Mayweather is scared is a goddamn idiot.

Floyd agreed to ALL of Mannys demands, Weight, Gloves, Purse, Penalties, all of it.

Manny is the one that wont agree to the testing, testing in which Floyds camp compromised with. They even offered a 14 day buffer but that still isnt good enough for Manny.

Gimme a break, you all saying Floyd is scared are idiots.

Yup, every espn analyst is an idiot. As well as probably the majority of America. Maybe if Mayweather didn't have a reputation for being a douche people wouldn't blame him.

Opinions are facts now right?

Why is it that Mayweather can agree to ALLLL of Mannys demands, yet Pac cant agree to one of Floyds?

And Floyd even relented and offered a more than fair 14 days, but thats not good enough?

And people called Ali a douche too yet hes still recognized as one of the goat.

LOL what a stupid thing you just said. And no by the way, only the PTI and 2 of the AtH guys agreed with Pac Man, every other SPORTSCENTER analyst with a blog or on record has said otherwise.

Ali is a douche, for dodging the draft. And I said earlier that it is sketch for Pac to not take blood tests. But for Mayweather to demand something that no other person he has fought against has had to do then I find that to be bullshit. And Pac's said they would go to 25 days or whatever. If he would take one in the dressing room after the fight what does it matter how soon before the fight he is tested?

Floyd came out with this ONLY after the reports came out, showing that it was CLEARLY him who had killed the fight and he still has not relented to anything.
The cut-off was 24 days, Mayweather of course is wanting 14, if Pac agrees, Mayweather will want spinal taps the morning of the fight, you would have to be brain dead not to see the trend.

Pac already has agreed to extra testing.
Every time he did Mayweather just comes up to with something else he wants and launched a smear campaign until Pac put a halt to it with a lawsuit.

This is not the first time Mayweather has done this either. He kept wanting rules changed for a fight with Winky Wright until it got the fight killed.
Boxers weigh-in the day before then whatever they hydrate to overnight is what they weigh in the ring.
Winky had agreed to everything then suddenly Floyd wanted him to weigh no more than 8lbs than he did at weigh-in. Winky was known to hydrate 10-15lbs overnight. Floyd got what he wanted when Winky moved on to Trinidad.

So 14 days is unreasonable? And Mayweather hasnt asked for anything other than the testing. And its not the first time someone has asked for testing like this actually. So its cool for Pac Man to demand a bunchof stuff but Floyd cant ask for one thing?

That makes sense.
