Keep buying Floyd's lip service.
Pac Man has said on numerous occasions he refused to take a blood test right before the fight (like Floyd wanted) but would take a blood test immediately following the fight.

Anybody saying money is BS, Floyd offered Manny $40 mil guaranteed. Bob Arum that scumbag is trying to convince Manny not to fight unless he gets a 50/50 split, even though its clear Floyd is the main draw. Pac may have a whole country of supporters, but they aren't paying $100 per household to watch on PPV or going to the MGM and paying 10g's a seat.

The same can be said about Floyd if he loses. Then there's goes his undefeated record. Which is the ONLY reason he's so popular to begin with. You think people would pay to see this racist thug if he was 43-1 or 42-2?
BTW: Peterson just got caught juicing today. So either Manny has the best, most undetected roids that money can buy or he was never juicing to begin with.

What a loser.

That's incorrect....... Pacman LONG AGO, agreed to random blood testing..YES, Fraud Fakeweather is AFRAID to lose to pacman..especially an asian fighter..
http://www.boxingasylum.com/main/?p=2232
According to Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, his Superstar fighter and Pound
For Pound King Manny Pacquiao has agreed to full random Blood testing
for a potential fight with long time rival, Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mr. Arum has been reported as saying - ‘We have agreed in the
Pacquiao camp to unlimited random testing done by a responsible, neutral
organization. We don’t believe USADA is a neutral organization.
‘I don’t think anybody’s test is as vigorous as the test administered
by the Olympic Organization. And we can arrange for the Olympic
Organization to handle the test under the supervision of the Athletic
commission respective of the state where the fight is going to be held.

 Pac is a bigger draw. You are 100% wrong and are disqualified from talking about this subject anymore. There is some good back and forth on this thread but this is blatant stupidity.

Two things are holding up this fight.
Manny wants more Money and won't do the drug test. |

I see what your saying, but I think Floyd is more about money. He'd be getting at least 60 mil for this fight and even if he loses there would definitely be a rematch clause. So basically win and retire or lose and fight once more for a total of like 120mil
