Floyd not fighting Pacquaio will bother him for the rest of his life

[ruthless rocco]

I think we both stated our case. None of us were at the table when these negotiations took place so I often wonder about the accuracy of some of the statements that are repeated. Believe it or not I can see your point of view, I still think I am right but I would not call you an idiot for your statements as they are not coming out of left field. We are all in the dark as both sides have reported different things and hundreds of commentators have spouted different ideas. We have to go with our gut, sound fair?

I'm glad you agree with me.

No matter how much money Floyd makes he will forever be asked why he did not fight Manny. He will take that question until he dies.

Floyd will answer that he gave Manny every opportunity to take the fight with the one provision that Manny be clean for their fight and prove it by being tested for drugs in advance of the fight.

The real question is why Manny turned down $50 million if he was a clean fighter.

Does not matter about the answer. The fact is they never fought and that is what people will remember.

So it won't bother him. It'll bother you.

You're right, all that matters in the end is that the fight didn't happen. Would have been the defining fight of the generation, but it didn't happen, and even if they do fight it will never have the same impact it would have back in 2008-2011.

Right or wrong, Floyd is the more powerful guy (as well as the less likeable guy), and people will say that he should have done more to make the fight happen.

But Floyd was the clean fighter who held out for fairness and an even playing field.
Manny was the dirty PED using fighter who all but admitted his cheating ways.

Floyd will have no regrets.

I think the early consensus was that since Floyd was demanding a stipulation that wasn't typical of your standard boxing match, that he was being the unreasonable party and was therefore at fault for the fight not happening. People don't care who's using what, they just want to see the fight happen.

Floyd will pretend he has no regrets and did his best to get the fight made but he will deep down and he probably would have won the fight as well.
