I havn't started a Pac thread before - (so don't shoot me)

I also blame Manny. Just take the blood test: what are you hiding?"

And I absolutely hate Floyd Mayweather's guts.

Exactly.. I hate them both really.. Floyd is the best p4p of this decade, period.. He knows it.. He believes he can bet Pac whether Pac is on roids or not, yet he won't just get in the ring..

He should have just bitten his tounge and gone on with the f'n fight... It's the fight of the last 10 years and instead of both going into it like the P4P best that they are, they act like diva's..

I understand Floyd's reasons and don't blame him for his demands, but i'm f'cken really pissed off about it because he could easily have just gone into the damn fight.. Unless we're campaigning to change the drug testing in boxing, then just do your job as a fighter, train hard, and get in the ring...


And as for Manny, he's more interested in proving he's ABOVE drug tests (and out of the ordinary demans), than proving he's NOT ON THE DRUGS in the first place...

Regardless of whether he wins or loses this case in court, that is just legalese polical crap... It's irrelavent in terms of what this has done to his reputation..
And he can argue that FLOYD has done this to his reputation, but the fact remains, he's one of the top athletes in the world, and sometimes you gotta put your money where your mouth is...

He's either a cheat, or so obsessed with his image that he won't agree to drug tests even knowing full well he's completely clean..

Either way, my opinion of him has dropped so considerably that I would almost skip watching his next fight.... Sure it's a tough situation and he didn't want to bow down to Mayweather and have himself accused of things he may not have done, but they've handled this whole situation like shit, and at the end of the day, what could have been a world stopping fight, is gone because 2 f'n adults with all the incentive in the world to get in the ring together, act like little bitches when the chips are on the table, and fans are the one's who truley lose out...

Anyway, I'll drop this now... Time to pick another firecracker, exciting, favourite fighter... Pac is yesterday's news..

An athlete shouldn't have the right to over-rule a State Athletic Commission nor to dictate what their policies and procedures should be nor to change them in any manner ...

It doesn't matter anyway; the fight will still happen, just in the Fall instead.

I don't believe Roach, Pacquiao, Arum, and Mayweather ever seriously considered the March 13 date as anything but a ploy to add drama to the buildup of a mega-fight, build the gate.

Less than 3 months from late Dec announcement to March 13 doesn't seem long enough at all to build a huge ppv in this day and age.

Usually 4 to 6 months is what it takes to build a huge ppv.
