UFC president Dana White went on another verbal assault yesterday as he blamed Floyd Mayweather for ruining a blockbuster match with Manny Pacquiao.

“I think something happened to Floyd in his last fight, something wasn’t there that used to be there, something weird. I truly believe his legacy means more to him than money does,” White said of Mayweather.

Many people had blamed Pacquiao for his unwillingness to agree to Olympic-style drug testing up until two weeks before the fight, however White states that boxing fans should be pointing the finger at Money.

“Me and Floyd go way back … I think [Floyd] blew this fight,” White said. “When another fighter starts dictating a drug test, first of all Pacquiao’s never tested positive for any drug but Floyd’s going to make him go through drug testing? That’s ridiculous.”

Most might think White was screaming like a schoolgirl when this fight fell though, however he feels the complete opposite. While appearing on 106.7’s Lavar Arrington Show with Chad Dukes, the former amateur boxer stated that there was nothing more he wanted than to see those two mix it up.

Oddly, White believes there is plenty of room for both combat sports, but boxing keeps shooting themselves in the foot and he doesn’t mind staring at them in his rear-view mirror as they do it.

“Does [that bout not happening] hurt me either way? No I don’t think so, boxing and mixed martial arts can exist,” White explained. “That fight not happening is insane, it makes no sense to me.”

  • Pacquiao didn’t turn down the $40MM fight. He denied Mayweather a $40MM payday for pissing him off accusing him of steroid use. Good for KFC he’s not worth it.

  • ey boxing101.. you just dont get it do you! its Pinoy Pride! why do we want somebody like mayweather to dictate the terms ! There is already the standard Drug Testing from the Nevada comission .. why change the terms ?

    You Americans still think you can dominate … those drugs, peds , steroids started from you and commonly used by you .. not from us.

    That is why you lose vietnam war!

  • floyd is undefeated?

    well, as far as i know…money lost to castillo I!


    ROCK commented on January 13, 2010 @ 4:32 pm

  • That’s right. Why would a person turn down mega millions? Why would Floyd put up a roadblock? Is he scared of Pacquiao?

    Is Floyd the one using PEDs? We don’t know. But, my opinion is, YES FLOYD KNOWS SO MUCH ABOUT PEDS because he used it.

    Simple as that!

  • Duh idiot. Why take a drug test that’s not even required? It’s like doing the “optional” homework for class. That would be like Sherlock Holmes being questioned by Watson. Whose Watson to tell me shet? SOMETIMES 101, PRIDE is WORTH MUCH MORE THAN MONEY. Look at Lennox. You telling me he’s on something cause he retired rather than give Klitschko another fight? Lyoto Machida is undefeated but OF COURSE many think otherwise. EVERYONE has their best ticket sales against De La Hoya. Who do you think people came to see?


    boxing303 commented on January 13, 2010 @ 4:35 pm

  • Verbal assault is one way of pouring gas to a small fire. Dana White simply exercised his opinions during the interview. I agree with what Dana said but i have to disagree that he committed verbal assault against floyd.

    fuckufc commented on January 13, 2010 @ 4:38 pm

  • Because Manny disagree to an olympic style drug test ….this moronic first poster assumes that ” he’s on something..!!” what a stupid analogy. Let say Manny ask FLOYD to have all his front teeth pulled a day before the fight should FLOYD do it??? And if Floyd does not do it Manny can just claim that Floyd wont get it pulled because he will use it to bite his ear off (ala Mike Tyson). SO therefore Floyd is premeditating to commit a criminal act.

    See how stupid your analogy is ???? Manny did not agree to the testing because he dont have too. And all this B.S. about being fair??? Wut Da Fak ! Do you even know what the hell are you talking about??? I blame your damn parents for bring you up in to this world..tsk tsk tsk Your very existence in this planet is a grave offense to the entire humanity. What a complete idiot you are …who ever the hell you are Boxing101.

  • true , spot on , mayweather showd his natural talent vs marquez but somthing was missing , the extra sharpness n exsplosive moves, i cnt put my finger on it but he needs it to overcome pac ..


    UrSuperHero commented on January 13, 2010 @ 4:45 pm

  • Boxing101 you dont know what you are talking about..so STFU! first of all Manny is willing to do the test, but there has to be a cutoff date…he doesn’t like the random testing which they can do on the day of the fight. He’s willing to do the test right after the fight, so what’s the difference if you test it 30 days before or 1 hour after the fight? The steroids remain on the system for 45 days, why is gayweather insisting on the random testing? He just wants to ticked off Pacman.


    Gayweatherh8ter commented on January 13, 2010 @ 4:48 pm

  • DRUG TESTING BEYOND PROTOCOL IS NOT FAIR,PEOPLE IS BLINDED BY THIS,MAYWEATHER IS JUST SCARED WE ALL KNOW HOW MANY GREAT FIGHTERS HE DUCKS IN HIS CAREER…

  • The shallowest and lamest question often repeated by the uninformed fans is this:

    “why would a person turn down mega millions(40m to 50m) because of equal drug testing?”

    the only answer and please write this on the wall coz it’s really getting irritating for that question to keep popping up:

    “because the pac does not even %70 come fight night when his blood is drawn so close to the fight, physically, mentally and historically (morales fight no. 1), watch the 2005 fucking video you lazy bums”.

    this means the pac is at a MAJOR disadvantage come fight night.
    and ofcourse GBP,MayweatherJR/SR,Schaeffer knew that all along.
    And so these lame trio pushed no end for the blood test.


    misinformedpeeps commented on January 13, 2010 @ 4:59 pm

  • Lets be realistic here, Floyd “Money” Mayweather has made his career by fighting opponents hand picked by his managers, usually second rate fighters, or washed up has beens at the end of their careers.

    Lets be open and completely clear about one thing here:
    Manny Pacquiao has never tested positive for any banned or illegal substance. Period. So because Floyd Mayweathers father makes a claim that he thinks Pacquiao is using steroids does not make it the truth.
    They cannot show any proof, because there is no proof to back up any of this garbage. It is just the ramblings of a punch drunk parent trying to save his son from the beating of a lifetime.

    Nothing more, nothing less.

    Floyd Mayweather does not want to fight Manny Pacquiao. Plain and simple. He cant fight Manny Pacquiao, Floyd “Money” Mayweather would be destroyed, torn apart, and humiliated beyond belief in front of the entire world for all to see. I for one would love to see it happen.


    KT101 commented on January 13, 2010 @ 4:59 pm

    and now the 14 days offer? sure but at this point pacquiao (fine but pcac wanted a different group aother than the mayweather handpicked USDAm do you smell a dead fish?) at that point the pac was already pissed with the temerity of the mayweather camp that he shot down the possibility of giving in to _anything_ at all, that’s what pissed people do, they shut down and move on.

    this means the pac is at a MAJOR disadvantage come fight night.

  • Dana is being very erudite about this! He knows theres a lot more Pacquiao fans than Mayweather fans out there and they are fiercely more loyal to their man! However he does express the sentiments that most Pacman fans believe in, that Floyd plain and simple doesn’t want to jeopardize is 0 because it truly is the only form of legacy he can lv. behind. The quality of his opponents and his performance against common opponents with Pacquiao are decidedly inferior even Marquez who went down 4 times against Pacquiao in 2 fights and knows that if he fought the current iteration of Pacquiao, would surely put him to sleep(hence his absurd drug testing demands as well). So yes Dana is right on the money on this one!


    cezpel commented on January 13, 2010 @ 5:05 pm

  • And here we go again with those moronic Gayweather huggers… Why would the self-proclaimed “best fighter” continue to pick on lightweights and junior welterweights? Why would the son of a convicted drug felon accuse someone who’s never tested positive for any drugs of being a drug user? Why would a person who lost his earnings due to mismanagement and a lavish lifestyle turn down $40M – $50M? He’s definitely a fraud and is terrified of Pacquiao. Enough with the BS about him agreeing to fight Pacquiao. History shows that Mayweather has always found a way to duck the best fighters.

    boxing26 commented on January 13, 2010 @ 5:37 pm

  • Floyd is chicken-shit scared, afraid of the Pacman. Floyd fans are dumb like him who feels that they fought the best boxing has to offer. Everyone’s laughing at Floyd and his fans. Coward and a mouthful of shit!


    Jimmy Buffet commented on January 13, 2010 @ 5:37 pm

  • first of all dumbass, shane tested positive but they kept the result hidden.. 2nd of all mayweather agreeing to a fight and forcing a drug test to a person that has never been caught doing it is called “i’m scared to lose to you so i’ll make up some crazy demand that i know you won’t agree to so i can get away with it looking like you pussied out even though i pussied out of the fight”. 3rd, most of mayweathers fight were shot old weaker smaller fighters.. BUT i’m not saying he sucks.. he is good, in fact he’s amazing.. BUUUUT he is also a ducker.. how can you call urself the greatest if he doesn’t fight the best? pac/shane/cotto all fight whoever was put in the plate. and the REASON pacman is the best POUND for POUND, is because he goes up in weight and FIGHTS WHOEVER WAS PUT IN THE PLATE. And why should pac submit to a test just because floyd asked for it. If pac said he’d shit on floyds mouth and he can shit on his, you think floyd will do it? thats fucking retarded.. only the 2 camps knew what went on.. but I can tell you right now the so-called best fighter pussied out.. PERIOD..


    boxing 303 commented on January 13, 2010 @ 5:37 pm

  • Why do Pacquiao turned down $40M? … simply because he’s bigger than Floyd. Arum was right to blame himself for wanting to appease Mayweather by agreeing with him that Pacquiao takes the drug tests (Pacquiao compromised by going above and beyond what the boxing commission requires) but Mayweather just keeps on demanding more. Enough is enough … Pacquiao is current P4P king and Welterweight champion and Mayweather is just a challenger. You still don’t get it??? … If you’re a descent person, it’s not always all about money… Still don’t get it??? … man, you’re so stupid.


    Clinton commented on January 13, 2010 @ 5:41 pm

  • If pacman is on something, why would he agree to blood testing in the locker room immediately after the fight? It doesn’t take a genius to figure that the juice will show up in blood test immediaetely after the fight. The only reason pacman doesn’t want to be blood tested 2 wks before the fight is because of the known fact that he gets thrown out of his rhythm when blood is drawn from him just like what happened in pac-morales I.


    yourbrainisfuckedup commented on January 13, 2010 @ 5:42 pm

  • its floyd’s fault why the fight never happened! the chicken is just scared of pacquiao that is why he resorted to that alibi. why didn’t he asked it when he fought marquez and everyone, besides why the hell ask for this “additional test”? if he thinks pacquiao is in steroids, why not take steroids and just take the regular test prescribed by NSAC and fight manny. floyd would ask for addidional test if he is afraid of the fighter.


    boxing 101 enemy commented on January 13, 2010 @ 5:45 pm

  • Yes your right on the button that the blame must be on Floyd since he often dictates in the negotiations! He wants to be winning during negotiations in all of his fights before fighting time! The problem this time is he run into something wiser than he is! The reason why the PaCman doesn’t like his blood drawn randomly specially before the fight night is he feels weakened and there was a precedent to that when he fought Morales back in 2005. There was the video in Youtube that said so! Floyd should fight according to the NSAC RULES and not according to his own rules!


    mcemman commented on January 13, 2010 @ 5:47 pm

  • floyd never meant to fight manny. SHAEFFER RESERVED MARCH 13 FOR FLOYD AND AN UNNAMED BOXER.FLOYD DOES NOT WANT TO BE IN THE RING WITH MANNY.


    entradero commented on January 13, 2010 @ 5:49 pm

  • boxing101 aren’t we IQ challenged? I’ll go through your points vis a vis

    1. mayweather is undefeated – Undefeated doesn’t matter. The GOAT Sugar ray robinson had plenty of defeats. Still, he is considered by everyone as the GOAT. ali had plenty of defeats as well. Steve ottke was also undefeated. Anyone considering this guy as an all time great? No. The point is, it is the quality of opponents that makes a fighter great. Something floyd has avoided since entering the WW division. It’s more laughable for someone who claims to be the GOAT.

    2. This fight is projected to be the biggest in history and therefore it’s a testament to mayweather’s greatness. – Not necessarily. Remember, the highest PPV buys was with PBF-dela hoya. And I don’t think anyone considers dela hoya to be in their top 50 all time great. PPV buys are based on recognition in the mainstream. Both pacquiao and Mayweather has it, and that’s why this is projected to break PPV records.

    3. Shane has never been caught until he admitted therefore pacquiao is the same. To compare shane’s case over pacquiao is off the mark. First, the reason why shane wasn’t caught is because he was using a masking agent. Since then, NSAC and most other boxing commissions included the detection of masking agents in their tests. So if shane is doing the same thing this time around, he will now get caught and so should have been pacquiao. And your logic that just because shane is a cheater, therefore pacquiao is a cheater is plain ridiculous.

    4. Why would pacquiao turn down 40 million dollars? – Why don’t you ask that to mayweather. He agreed to fight for less than than in his, well let’s see, ALL his fights. Now that he’s being offered 40 million for a fight, suddenly he can’t fight without an olympic style drug testing? Give me a break.

    In reality, mayweather had no plans to fight pacquiao. He’s scared of him. He was just making pacquiao jump trying to find a block too high for pacquiao. He first asked for this fight to happen on march 13. Pacquiao would have preferred it to be later given that he just fought cotto, but he jumped. Mayweather then asked this fight to be billed mayweather-pacquiao eventhough pacquiao is the hottest draw in boxing right now, he holds a welterweight belt, is ranked 1st p4p against 2nd for floyd. again, pacquiao jumped. Then this unprecedented drug testing. Mayweather hit gold. Pacquiao, since his loss to morales, which he factors the blood drawn from him right before the fight, felt it weakens him (psychological as it maybe, it will affect his performance. If he thinks he is weak, then he’ll fight weak or not be as aggressive). This is a roadblock to high for pacquiao to jump. He’s willing to compromise by having his blood drawn, pre-press con, 24 days before the fight and finally RIGHT AFTER the fight. But floyd won’t relent. If really wanted this fight, he would agree to a compromise. He didn’t.

    Boxing202, you are racist son of a b*tch. Why don’t you grow some balls and say that in front of a black crowd and get your ass beaten. Your “bravery” here is disgusting.

    cris commented on January 13, 2010 @ 5:56 pm

  • Fighters that cant fight back haha that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. So when Manny picks Hatton & DLH they can fight back but when Mayweather fought them they couldnt? Fuck out of here. Mayweather fought Hatton & DLH when they good fighters. Manny fought them when they were finished. Not forgetting Marquez took apart Manny regardless of what weight it was at. Marquez didnt have to step up he could of just said no and Mayweather would of fought somebody else.

    Quit trying to find excuses for Manny you nut huggers. He was already getting 50-50 & the 8oz gloves he wanted. Now he trying to decide when he does the tests? Hell no

  • @boxing 101: You named yourself boxing 101..yeah, i think that fits your knowledge about boxing. The fight was already made until your stupid undefeated fighter in Floydie demands a stupid blood test that’s not even ask eversince boxing began. So to say that it’s your stupid, loudmouth, biggest ducker of all time Floydie killed the fight. If you can’t fathom it, stick your middle finger up your ASS til Floydie lose his “0″.

  • To boxing 101:
    I am Filipino. If I were very rich already, I don’t need more if it tarnishes my reputation and my name. You just don’t get it don’t you?
    It’s a different culture. I don’t have to prove my innocence when I am not guilty in the first place. If you think I’m guilty then sue me and prove it and not make me do things for your pleasure. Don’t harass me.

    For you perhaps money is everything. Pacquiao wants the Mayweathers and GBP to retract the accusations and say sorry – that is a better win for Manny than $ 50M. Again – you just don’t get it don’t you?


    Philarious commented on January 13, 2010 @ 6:03 pm

  • Here’s something as well. Nobody tested for blood HGH testing….ZERO, ZIP, NADA, NIL. Marion Jones also never tested for Olympic drug testing! It only shows one thing, if nobody tested positive for HGH blood testing and Marion Jones never tested positive using Olympic style testing, why not drop it and fight? Somebody is scared!

    boxing 101a commented on January 13, 2010 @ 6:08 pm

  • @ASCSD: wow, excuses…excuses…excuses…. When Pacquiao loss to Morales, he faced the loss like a MAN. Though Pacquiao knew he loss because of he lost some blood, didn’t use his preferred puncher’s glove and admitted using 99cents pair of socks(stupid yeah), but nonetheless He accepted the defeat. And we all know he’s fighting on the wrong weight classes because he had to dehydrate himself 15lbs to make weight (another case of him fighting dehydrated and winning and no hater pointed out the case). And regarding the 50/50, Pacquiao rightfully deserves more for HE is the #1 Pound for Pound king. Think how nice he is just to make the fight. while floydie just keeps on demanding. Think boxing and stop hating.


    boxing fan commented on January 13, 2010 @ 6:14 pm

  • yes, and floyd will fight who? granpa campbell? Another undersized out of his prime fighter? perhaps, zero punching power malignaggi? or bradley, another undersized opponent. Well, that certainly is in line to mayweather’s choice of opponents nowadays. Floyd, for a change, why don’t you pick someone your own size? If not, go back to fucking jr welterweight! If you are not fighting welterweights, then leave that division! f$cking coward prick.


    holycrap commented on January 13, 2010 @ 6:17 pm

  • floyd is undefeate because he fights smaller men. that is the reason why:
    1. the de la hoya rematch never happened
    2. the fight against miguel cotto never happend even though cotto was undefeated, “chicken boy” floyd chose hatton who was smaller and even asked hatton to move up to welterweight.
    3. the fight against shane mosley never happened
    4. the fight against paul williams never happened
    5. the fight against antonio margarito never happened
    6. the fight against joshua clottey never happened
    7. the fight against MANNY PACQUIAO never happened
    “CHICKEN BOY” FLOYD HAD ALL THE REASONS TO DUCK THESE FIGHTERS
    ALL THESE FIGHTERS WANTED TO FIGHT “CHICKEN BOY” FLOYD BUT “CHICKEN BOY” FLOYD NEVER RUNS OUT OF EXCUSES.

    OHHH…. “CHICKEN BOY” FLOYD fought juan manuel marquez (fat, old, small, and slow) at welterweight and came in 2 pounds overweight. and “CHICKEN BOY” FLOYD claims he wants an even playing field huh.


    gerald commented on January 13, 2010 @ 6:17 pm

  • Boxing101- One quick question; Why would Mongoloid Floyd Jr. who already has all the advantages over Manny being naturally bigger(Floyd would outweigh Manny by 10 to 15lbs by fight night), taller, more skillful and faster, would still demand such ridiculous test to even the playing field? Floyd has also been insulting Manny several times as simply not in his level, a one dimensional fighter, Manny’s got no skills, no way Manny can beat me, and Manny for me would be an easy fight much easier than Marquez fight, then again why such demand? Now tell me who is the idiot for sticking to such stupid demand and leave behind 40M?


    boxing103 commented on January 13, 2010 @ 6:18 pm

  • i’m not an expert in boxing but the way i saw it how floyd fights, and manny has big diffirence in style, many people like the style of pacman for his ferocious, against all odds style of fighting, with indomitable spirit. manny captured the heart of the fans for his kind manner inside and outside the ring. i never heard manny talked thrash to his opponent but treat them all with respect. manny come from a very humble begginning on his career going to the top of the boxing world. while floyd undefeated, the pretty boy in boxing. but i never saw him fight like a man.he always running arround the perimeter of the ring to avoid getting hit by his opponents. and they called this kind of style of fighting a scientific boxer. floyd waS considered a smart boxer to always find a good reasons to avoid what he consider a dangerous fighter in his weight class. and he proclaim himself no#1 in boxing, that without his awesome presence on this profession. boxing will reduce down to zero. oh! boy… wake up! dont waste your time with paulie malinaggir.

Let Mayweather earn his millions fighting B or C class fighters until one of them erase his 0. The analogy here is why will you feed the man that’s stabbing your back. Let us all move on. Let little Floyd fight Ivan Calderon. I might watch it on Disney Channel.

  • The obvious one who’s on steroids is none other than F.Mayweather Jr. He was out of boxing for a very long time yet he came back with speed & big muscles during his fight with the urine-drinker J.M.Marquez. Look at FMJ’s body & muscles in recent fights, excessively rich and plain body-builder-big! Big body & muscles like that should slow the person considerably and also produces more substances that tire his own body (lactic acid if I’m not mistaken). He shouldn’t be that quick, his body should exhaust easier, his legs heavier as the fight progressed. Just apparent PED-using results! You Pac-haters may answer that FMJ is just a different athlete, that’s why, and criticize Pac for his own exciting performance? Sheesh. FMJ should have been very rusty & less mascular. His alibi of still training during his long absence is dubious, especially with all his financial turmoil.

    While JMM was good at the lower weights, never it would seem at the higher ones, he just can’t pack that much muscle and still be effective. He’ll never be great with respect to that category in greatness. You fellows were booing him over & over before but now are rallying behind him becoz he’s d only 1 left to look up on to. Even if he won his 2 fights with Pac before, it wouldn’t be convincing, wouldn’t be sensational, just on points. You Pac-haters say R.Hatton was a shot fighter after Pacman devastatingly KOed him, and now JMM considers fighting RH? Eh? If you haters claim that RH was washed-out & made-to-order then why would JMM consider fighting him? I doubt JMM will dominate RH. Probably it will be the other way around. Style make fights afterall. Just becoz Pac wasn’t able to demolish JMM, doesn’t mean RH won’t. Don’t count RH out yet.

    Again, the obvious drug user is FMJ! His claim of Pac using such is absurd! He’s just trying to belittle Pac & do character assassination. He came up with his baseless accusation becoz he’s the one using it all his fights. To FMJ (and to FMSr., all those envying personages, and the racists): stop slandering, quit being foul-mouthed, be an exemplar for the sport of boxing! If you don’t want to fight Pac, then fight the other welterwts already! There’s Mosley, Cotto, Margarito, Williams & Clottey in the corner. Cease cherry-picking smaller boxers. Transcend the sport if you can, just like how the smaller Pac already did! Pac made history, legacy! Boxing-haters felt boxing is dead for a long time, quite true, but since Pac’s arrival to the sport at the lower weights years ago, boxing is a household word again. Even Pac’s old foes, the triad, particularly JMM, are popular today becoz of Pac’s previous battles with them. He ushered a new era for the game. Everybody, pls be grateful of Pacman’s historical & impacting contributions to pro boxing. Manny Pacquiao, not just the no.1 pound-4-pound today, already an All-Time-Great!

    Kudos to Dana White for blaming the real culprit, FMJ.

    Mayweather won’t be allowed to use xylocaine and pac will take a blood test before the fight… it’ll be like a cripple(may) fighting a drunk(pac), hehehe!!! Either way Dana is right on this issure…

  • Guys, DANA WHITE is correct!!! In addendum to his views, I would like to direct you to what an expert says and in fact not a bias person cause ever since Pacman fought with the all the Top Boxers he encountered, Mr. Al Bernstein was never on Pacman’s side but rather supporting Pacman’s opponents. Here’s what the expert in the person of Al Bernstein said:

    THE BALL IS IN FLOYD’S COURT
    By Al Bernstein

    It seems that the Manny Pacquiao negotiations lasted for a decade. In reality is was weeks, not years. So many times during those negotiations I was tempted to weigh in with my thoughts. But each time I started to type something on the computer, it felt like I would just be another voice in the noisy and often out of tune chorus that was providing opinions daily on this rancorous and often bizarre public battle. So, I kept silent, hopeful that things would work themselves out and boxing would have it’s latest Fight of the Century. That, of course, did not happen….at least for now. Now for what my voice is worth, I feel compelled to join the chorus.

    I’ll qualify what you are about to read with a few statements of fact.

    I like Floyd Mayweather Jr. I have enjoyed a very good relationship with him over the years, and I will forever be grateful that he has helped The Caring Place, the facility my wife co-founded in Las Vegas to provide free services for those touched by Cancer.

    I greatly admire his skill in the ring. He is an artist. He does not always make thrilling fights, but he has painted a number of masterpieces in the ring.

    That having been said, it seems patently obvious to me that Floyd and his minions killed the Pacquiao fight. Exactly how and why they killed it remains murky. But, the bottom line is a the fight was basically a done deal before they decided to inject the demands for blood testing into the picture. I seldom look for simple answers to issues. Most things in this life fall into the gray area and I believe most often there are a series of circumstances that create societal, personal or business problems. In this case though, not really. Pure and simple, Golden Boy Promotion and Floyd and his advisers created the problem and it ended up killing the fight.

    Many things have been said and insinuated to make this look like a more complicated situation. But, none of them really hold water. Here are some facts.

    Manny Pacquiao has never tested positive in a drug test.
    Manny Pacquiao is one of the hardest working and most disciplined fighters in the sport.
    Manny Pacquiao’s success as he moved up in weight has been fueled mostly by a change in style and tactics rather than added strength.

    One of the most astonishing things to me is that fact number three keeps getting ignored by the folks who somehow believe that all of a sudden it’s reasonable to assume that Pacquiao above all other boxers needs a special set of testing rules to participate in a big fight. People who are supposed to know boxing are throwing out this most obvious truth in their argument that Team Mayweather’s smear campaign on Pacquiao is OK.\

    When Pacquiao was fighting in those legendary wars with Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez in the 126-130 pound range he was a completely different fi9gjhter. He walked straight in and threw mostly jabs and straight left hands. He would occasionally mix in an upper cut here and there, and very seldom a powerful right hook. He seldom punched in combinations and used little lateral mo0vmenet. He was actually a pretty one dimensional fighter. He won because he had power, punching accuracy, and a great will. His fights were often wars of attrition because of his stylistic deficiencies. Given those deficiencies it is actually fairly amazing that against three hall of fame fighers, Marquez, Morales and Barrera, he went 5-1-1. It’s a testimony to his power and toughness.

    When he decided to move up in weight, Freddie Roach rightly recognized that if Pacquiao fought the way he had in the lower weights, somebody bigger would probably knock him out. So, at age 29, with the help of Roach, Pacquiao did what few boxers do at any age—he reinvented himself. He became the very defiunitio0n of a boxer-puncher. The Pacquiao that fought David Diaz, Oscar DeLaHoya, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto at weights from 135 to 147 used hand and foot speed, an infinitely better right hand, and better defense to go along with power. Anybody who professes to know boxing should have been able to see that.

    No performance enhancing drugs can change your technique. Even though he stopped all of those opponents fighting at weights higher than he had previously fought at—it was not power that made the difference. The difference was speed, ring generalship, combination punching and a vastly improved defense. Anyone that suggests otherwise and really believes it is stupid when it comes to understanding boxing. Most of the people who surround Floyd Mayweather as promoters or advisers are not stupid when it comes to understanding boxing. Most of all my friend Floyd is not stupid when it comes to understanding boxing. He is, in fact, a genius.

    I have a theory (and it is only a theory—I do not have an unnamed source like one of my broadcasting colleagues professes to have in the mysterious Pacquiao e-mail conspiracy) on how this blood testing thing developed. I would suggest that it started as a ploy to unsettle Pacquiao—rattle his chain a bit. But because the whole thing was somewhat clumsily executed in public, this ploy developed a life of it’s own and then Team Mayweather was stuck with their disingenuous position and had to ride it out. It became a tidal wave of controversy that killed a mega-fight and cost many people a lot of money.

    Now in the nuclear rubble left behind, it is the Pacquiao team that moved more quickly and decisively to stake out the boxing high ground. Top Rank worked diligently and swiftly to create a competitive prize fight in an exotic and exciting venue. By accepting Joshua Clottey, a big, strong and skilled welterweight as his next opponent, Pacquiao and Top Rank have played to Pacquiao’s ultimate virtue—that he has always been willing to fight tough opponents. And the reverse of that is Mayweather’s public achilles heal. The net effect of that is to further suggest that if finger pointing is to be done at anyone for avoiding the meager-fight, it ought not be wagged in Pacquiao’s direction. For the moment Manny and Top Rank have moved way ahead in the PR battle.

    I say “for the moment” because in our ever changing, new news cycle per day world, the PR high ground can shift quickly under your feet. The ball is now in Floyd’s and Golden Boy’s court. If they go through with their plans to duel Pacquiao-Clottey with their own fight on March 13, they must do two things. 1.) They must win over HBO to do the pay per view of their fight, forcing Arum to go in another direction, and 2.) they must counter with something more than Paulie Malignaggi or Nate Campbell as a Mayweather opponent. One problem Golden Boy and Floyd face is that Top Rank is well equipped to hold it’s own in the pay per view battle even if they lose HBO as a distributor. They have created their own successful model for pay per views. And the other problem for Floyd’s team, is that finding a really good opponent might be tough. There is a healthy skepticism about Floyd continually battling men coming up in weight to fight him, and Malignaggi, Campbell and even the talented Tim Bradley would fall into that categtory. This will especially be highlighted since Manny is taking on a genuine welterweight contender in Clottey.

    Bob Arum upped the ante by throwing in Cowboys Stadium as the location for Pacquiao-Clottey. That adds panache to the whole event. It’s the only venue in America that is an attraction by itself.

    In the next week or so Floyd’s group will fire it’s bullets in this promotional war and we will see how much territory they can win back. They have assets of the4r own, not the least of which is Floyd himself who is one of the two most high profile boxers in the world. The problem is that if it turns out that he is number two on that list, we all know who number one would be. And that’s the guy they are battling for the hearts and minds of boxing fans worldwide in March.

    This whole combative scenario has created a seismic shift in the boxing landscape. The truce between Top Rank and Golden Buy that produced so many excellent matches in the last several years has been eviscerated and now the cold war is back in full bloom. How it plays out in the coming months will be fascinating to watch. Luckily the momentum boxing has built and the talent and fan bases it has developed in recent years will allow it to still thrive even in the midst of this promotional carnage.

  • Hey all of you die hard fans (can’t see the trees for the forest) ,no matter who your rooting for if you want to get a better perspective you should take note of what the big boys like Dana White have to say. They kinda know whats going on. Fans should support their guy no matter how right or wrong he might be. Floyd fans all 1000 of you around the world stick by your man he’s not scared to fight. Manny fans all 500,000,000 of you stick by your guy hes not doing any drugs.

    This brings me to my point regarding some of your comments regarding Pacquiao walking away from $40,000,000. I am a Las Vegas based businessman and I also have an office in Hong Kong. I really know what goes on all over Asia. Floyd fans and most Manny fans, I really don’t think you have any real idea just how big Pacquiao is in Asia or how many people live there. To give you an idea the combined population of the US and Europe is like a flea on a camels ass compared to the population of Indonesia and India only. When you add Thailand , China, the Philippines , just Google Asia’s population you’ll get the big picture way over three billion people. Guess what more than a third have TV ’s and a large percentage of them love sports, Pacquiao is Asia,s most popular athlete and every time he fights somebody’s running TV commercials and paying good money for airtime. The cotto fight was like Asia’s Super Bowl. Now you ever wander why Pacquiao has such a big entourage, its because he’s now an industry and everytime somebody buys an ad on fight night Pacquiao gets a tiny percentage of that through his promtional outfit, I ain’t talking top Rank.

    Asia doesn’t care who Pacquiao fights their gonna be watchin. On the flip side Floyd don’t get a nickel in Asia, unless its pay per view.

    Pacquaio will get his 10m plus maybe another 5m for his PPV share if the fight does 450,000 PPV here in the states add that to his 13m share out of Asian revenue ad he makes 30m fighting Clotty.

    In reality Pacquiao is walking away from a lot of money. However,he gets an obscene chunk of loot no matter who he fights. I think he can afford it.

    Floyd will end up gettin 10M for fighting Campbell and the fight will lose money, He’ll make 5m more if he fights Williams.

    Seems like to me he’s the one walking away from the big opportunity.

    In terms of worldwide marketing muscle and poularity, floyd is the proverbial flea on the camels ass compared to Pacquiao.

    I’m gonna have to go with Dana White on this one.

  • WHY DO we keep insisting on Mosley not being tested?

    The fact is he was tested on 2002. NSAC said that since then, they have updated their technology and their lab and is at par with USADA!

    Also, so what if Mosley was not detected way back in 2002, that doesn’t mean Manny is roiding! I don’t get this logic at all, purely circumstantial

    And if Floyd would demand Mosley to undergo Olympic style drug testing then that’s absolutely understandable bec after all Mosley has had history of steroids. Manny on the other hand, DOES NOT! NOT!!! Not associated with that stuff in all the 15 years he’s been boxing!

    And to suddenly paint him as a cheater because Mayweather said so is grossly OUT OF ORDER!!!!

    you’re a disgrace floyd. go and suck a dick somewhere else.


    bruce lee commented on January 13, 2010 @ 7:40 pm

  • Floyd is a mouth talker. He is claiming that he is the No.1 P4P in the world, but his action is on the opposite side. It is going to be the Best Coward P4P in the world.

    The biggest fight ever in the History will not happen, it because Floyd does not want to fight the real P4P king in the world today. Drug test is just an escape mechanism to dump the fight the world want to see. Floyd is a Real Coward fighter.

    Who’s next for Floyd? It is either Nate Campbell or Malignagi. Who they are? A “COWARD” fighter loves to fight low level fighter to add-up his undefeated record. But for what?

    Now, Boxing has been tainted with Floyd’s action. Manny loves to fight anyone. He agree 24days before the fight and immediately after the fight, but floyd insist that Manny much agree with new Boxing regulatory Commission named “Floyd Blood Sucking Commission” which is also supported by an Idiot Golden Boy Promotion.

    For anyone blaming for Manny on the cancellation of the propose Mega Fight, wake up and think it on a million times who is to be blame? The Warrior fighter that loves to fight anyone or the Coward Fighter who is mouth sucker?

    Do you want to watch the Coward fighter vs. low level fighter?


    peejay commented on January 13, 2010 @ 7:43 pm

  • First, those racist ass comments dont belong here and not about boxing. Second, those of you who think that a big zero in the lose column is everything dont know boxing. Listen, floyd DOES NOT REALLY THINK HES THE BEST!!! He cant be that stupid. He is riding on this zero loss column for what else??? MONEY!!! He even named himself after it.

    There are many undefeated fighters out there…so are they the best? Come on now? All of you buying into this crap about floyd are just buying into what floyd wants to portray, not what he truly believes.

    Dont be like a dumb ass nut hugger and follow whatever someone tells you. Especially if they call themselves money.

  • I thought that the US justice system is anchored on the belief that a person is innocent until proven guilty. I always have this view that only communists nations believe on the dictum: one is guilty util proven innocent. The Pacman-Mayweather fallout is a reminder that there are lots of communist-minded people in USA. Pacquiao, you are guilty–despite the absence of proof–until proven innocent because you wont agree to a blood test.


    KOed commented on January 13, 2010 @ 8:04 pm

  • if pacquiao were taking anything illegal, a post-fight test should show it. if a masking agent is detected instead, then it only means it was masking something illegal. otherwise, what’s it doing in one’s system in the first place? freddie roach hit the issue head-on when he said mayweather jr.’s just plain scared.


    bolo punch commented on January 13, 2010 @ 8:13 pm

    So, that’s the result why there’s no mega fight

  • A proven fact, Floyd is drug user, in fact illegal drug to all sports except only in Nevada, “Xylocaine” a drug to relieve pain from broken fingers and of course punches received. This guy Fraud Mayweather had the audacity to accuse Manny of drug use BUT he’s quilty as hell, a cheater, ahhh he also CHEATED Juan Manuel Marquez by going overweight over agreed limit shows you how a genuine cheater he is!

    Go fight Adam Lambert (American Idol) he suits Floyd just fine.

  • Let’s put it the other way around, why would Floyd insist on something that he knows will only ruin the fight to happen? I’m sure he needs the money more than Manny. It was a ploy that backfired…and so severely, because when the dust shall have settled, he needed all the money he can get to pay up Manny.


    MBA commented on January 13, 2010 @ 8:50 pm

  • Why Mayweather blew this fight? because he’s scared. Now he’s trying to fight Campbell? what the? the guy who was getting beat and quit his last fight, that is outrageous. A Bradley fight would have been acceptable even though he’s lightwelter but should Mayweather try to land a fight against another lightwelter what the hell is he thinking and what are you Floyd fans thinking?. The Pacman is Lightwelter and chose to fight somebody bigger who has never been convincingly beaten in Clottey. Clottey has 3 losses, a DQ, a UD to Margarito in which he broke a hand and damaged the other, and that split decision to Cotto which many thought he won now that’s a challenge but what about Floyd? He’s thinking of Campbell the quitter and MAtthew Hatton who is nowhere near Ricky Hattons level, and mostly lightwelterweights.

    gayweathers are dumb, and you are dumber.

    money is not the reason the pacman will not bow to that demands of that nigah, that midgetman has honor and pride and he takes insults seriously. let us see what happens of the lawsuit, i bet that nigah will become a slave again!

    pacquiao still has lots of money, but that nigah needs to keep the IRS off him…


    im-a-white-trash commented on January 13, 2010 @ 8:55 pm

  • mayweather is undefeated because he fought weaklings. He doesn’t fight true welterweights. for people who keep saying he is the best because he is undefeated, maybe Floyd is too good fir that weight maybe he should fight lightweights.
    and how can hatton almost knockout Floyd. Watch the video again and hatton almost knocked Floyd out except that Floyd got lucky and he was saved by the ropes. and don’t even say anything about he beat Marquez easily. Floyd was pounds heavier then Marquez. The better hydrated you are the better your punches are, you can focus
    more and you won’t tire easily. people are dumb to realize this. then people say boxing is dead. Only Americans say that I am American, but when I go to other countries they love boxing it’s their number 1 or 2 sport behind football(soccer). why is that? think of
    history. Through out history the best boxers were Americans ; Ali, Frazier, Ray Leonard, Ray Robinson, Tyson, mosley.etc. even rocky balboa.how about know? We have a Mexican featherweight, Asian welterweight, klitschko I think is russion( heavyweight), and a Jewish rabbi (lightweight I think). So now people say” where’s the American champions?boxing is dead”. Yeah you people are racist you only support only
    people from your country even if they are bad and don’t care about the fans. We live in an evil world.

  • Dana White is correct on his statements.UFC and Boxing have different followings and both sports can co-exist and be maintained properly without any problem.Also Mayweathers and associates are counter-productive and untimely and actually malicious in using a proposed mega fight as the opportunity to bring out the lingering changes in their minds about drug testing protocol.Wether it is really that so urgent or not ,that is not the proper way in order to bring out those changes .
    Professional boxing ,just like any other sport is having their own official body or commission that takes care of those matters.However strong changes can be made within the proper procedures not necessarily
    hinders any fight agreements in progress.

    Why would a lot of people want to see Pacquiao vs Mayweather? To see Mayweather flat on his back, dazed and sobbing like a girl. People would love to see the cheater “Overweight Cherry-pickin’ Xylocaine” Floyd lose his “0″.


    Wacky Jabber commented on January 13, 2010 @ 10:04 pm

  • Clinto said: “Why do Pacquiao turned down $40M? … simply because he’s bigger than Floyd. Arum was right to blame himself for wanting to appease Mayweather by agreeing with him that Pacquiao takes the drug tests (Pacquiao compromised by going above and beyond what the boxing commission requires) but Mayweather just keeps on demanding more. Enough is enough … Pacquiao is current P4P king and Welterweight champion and Mayweather is just a challenger. You still don’t get it??? … If you’re a descent person, it’s not always all about money… Still don’t get it??? … man, you’re so stupid.”

  • To all Mayweather fans out there, i’ll tell you this “Your guy never really intend to fight Manny nor any elite opponents in welterweight…he will not fight Manny, ever…for only one reason, he knows at welterweight division his “0″ loss can easily be taken away from him, he knows his power he used to have during the lightweight years is already not there that’s the reason why he became a too defensive and boring fighter, that’s the reason why he begun picking lesser opponents…I’m not a Manny Pacquiao fan but I like the way he fight…Manny can bring more headache to Mayweather than anybody else…it’s like fighting 3 “Best Version” of Jose Luiz Castillo at the same time for Mayweather…if you know nothing about Castillo try searching in youtube and there you will see what i’m talking about…I like Mayweather before but now I don’t think no one will like him with his attitude not unless you have also an attitude problem…I really don’t think he is what he thinks of himself…he feels he is the boxing biggest draw due to his record breaking bout with Oscar, did he ever think that it’s because of Oscar that’s why that bout broke the record not because of him, he’s too ridiculous…anyhow, Mayweather will remain undefeated until he retires again but mind you there will be no Cotto, no Manny, no Williams, no Mosley, no Clottey, no Elite welter in his resume…remember what is said…”

    Oww just an additional, Manny agreed to B test as far as I know, it’s Mayweather who does not agree to the timing…is there a difference between taking the B test after the fight and taking it before the fight?None right not unless Floyd’s Camp know something that experts do not know…By the way, I read an exchange emails between Dr.K.Smith of US Anti-doping Agency and someone in Floyd’s camp confirming that whatever the result of the test it will remain as Positive against Manny, ever heard about that Mail?…that one did not make it in public coz intelligent minds will think that that is only a HOAX mail…right?

  • Agree with you Mike, Hatton almost Knock the f”@king Mayweather out but still almost…The closest defeat that Mayweather should have is during the 2 bouts between him and Jose Luiz Castillo…F”ck the two bouts should have won by Castillo but I really don’t know what the hell happened there…


    Khoy commented on January 13, 2010 @ 10:56 pm

  • Hey frank, are you related to Boxing 101 as well? I dont know where you people get your info, but I would suggest that you seriously take a look at improving your reading skills or something. Maybe you could be the first in your family to acheive a grade 8 education!

    Please show me where it has been written than Pacquiao has been proven to have used any illegal substance at all. Oh, whats that, I forgot… you cant! All it is, is the incoherent ramblings of a half retarded, uneducated punch drunk old man.

  • This is all about boxing, stop all the talking. Go out and fight. If Mayweather does not want to fight Pacman (the current Champ) for what ever reason, so be it. He is history – he blew his chance.

    For Pacman his winning is for God and country for Mayweather it’s all about money.
    As simple as that.

    Let’s all move to the next fight.

  • Forget about Flyod guys… his a boring fighter that no one should watch… boycot all Floyd’s fight…

  • Keep your cool, Roy C. Boxing 101 and in-bred creatures like him is not worth it; they don’t know how to think and their tiny speck of mind can be easily manipulated by their idol – the undisputed undefeated pay-per-view queen Floyd.

    And Floyd? What a waste! Your legacy is secured in the septic tank of boxing history.


    Dela Hoya commented on January 14, 2010 @ 6:45 am

  • LoL. You people are so gulliable. Boxing promotions, promotes Pacman as the good guy, like they did with De la Hoya. Before Pacman everyone love Oscar, but Oscar never one of his major fights against 5 star opponents. People always talks about Floyd ducking, who has Pacman face besides Cotto, dickheads. In his last 4 fights he face everyone Mayweather has already beaten. Did pacman face sugar? Nope. When that fight was brought to table, you know what Bob Arum and Roach wanted the fight weight to be @? They would not give sugar a shot if it was 147 or 154, because pacman would lose. So lets drain him and make him weak like we did Oscar for an easy win.

  • People hate Floyd because he is cocky so when boxing commentators say something negative about Floyd most fans who hear it believe it and that is about the only thing they can talk about.

    Pacman “boxings pound 4 pound best”. My opinion in this will be and will always be the same, Pacman fuck this fight up. Plain and simple. Stop making excuses for the man. So what if he never tested positive. IF you had 40m-50m fight laid on the table would you care about giving blood? I know for sure I wouldn’t. I know for sure not any other fighters Floyd ask to do so wouldn’t. Honestly until they are caught in the act do you really knoe what your opponent is doing?

    Pacman is good and may have fast hands, but once again as we see in his next opponent Clottey (who may very well upset him, because after all he really won the fight against Cotto) is a stand still opponent. That means he doesn’t have great foot work and would be an easy target for pacman to move in and out and hit him at will.

    I dont trust Roach or Arum, they both before have been caught with thier fighters using steriods and what the fighter reflects the trainer, because obviously he should know what he is eating and whats in his system.

  • The fans want it, that should be enough but there’s obviously more to the story. Pacquiao supporters say Floyd is scared, Floyd supporters say that Pacquiao’s a cheater.

  • fucking ugly floyd gayweather jr/sr…you blow out the fight not manny.
    dana and Al Bernstein is absolutely correct. better you fight calderon


    jianpogi commented on January 14, 2010 @ 12:31 pm

  • floyd is only a boxer, he has no right to dictate the NSAC for a type of test for a fight. Floyd is a coward. He insisted on his kind of test to malign and duck the greatest fighter of all time, Pacquiao. Pacquiuao should not allow anyone to dictate him. Pacquiao does not need guys like gay weather and Pacquiao should ask for a 70/30 split the next time floyd ask him for a fight.


    gilly commented on January 14, 2010 @ 12:52 pm

  • I guess since Floyd is such a dictator and doesn’t deserve one simple blood test. Than Pacman doesn’t deserve 50/50 split seeing as every fighter pacman has fought that floyd has face Floyd does bigger numbers. Pacman doesn’t get 10 million every lb. over because that is outrageous. Also Floyd can wear any ounce gloves he wants to protect his hands, he doesn’t have to feed into pacman demands of 8 ounce gloves and 10 million for each lb.

    Everyone to me is looking at it from the Floyd hater’s point of view, being that most people hate him. I like both fighters, because after all they both won me money, but the fact is when all seen PACMAN TAKE A BLOOD TEST 14 DAYS BEFORE A FIGHT IN A 24/7. HE TALKS ABOUT INTERRUPTION IN HIS TRAINING WE ALL SEEN THE LAST 24/7 WHAT COTTO, FROM FILMING TO TALK SHOWS TO MEDIA ATTENTION WITH THE FANS. HE DID IT SO HOW IS ONE SIMPLE TEST DISRUPTING HIS TRAINING.

    Read between the lines pacman didn’t want to lose before his election so they take that one demand and make it seem like it is outrageous and it really isn’t that big. Take this demand and make a million excuses to try to get the fans and media on thier side. Jumps into a fight with another opponent who is easy to hit and doesn’t move, than try to hype it as a potentially dangerous opponent, so when he wins its just another guy he beat to prove he is the so called “pound 4 pound” best. This was politics and the reason this fight didn’t happen nothing to do what Floyd, it had to do with Pacman and his election.

  • Pacman will beat Mayweather and he knows it too. He can’t duck manny forever though. he needs to stop demanding this and that, step up and fight him.

  • MANILA, Philippines – Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao is not taking steroids, based on the results of his drug test released by the Nevada Sports Athletic Commission (NSAC).

    Keith Kizer of the NSAC told ABS-CBN News on Saturday that Pacquiao has tested negative for performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), including steroids.

    Kizer said Pacquiao’s counterpart, American Floyd Mayweather Jr., has also tested negative for drugs.

    Pacquiao’s laboratory tests were done in his hometown in General Santos, but were sent to Malaysia while Mayweather Jr.’s testing was done in Las Vegas and sent to Arizona.

    The results came out 9 days after talks for the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight collapsed after both camps failed to resolve their differences over random drug testing.

    Pacquiao, the only 7-division world champion, is now slated to fight Ghanaian Joshua Clottey at the NFL Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on March 13.

    Reports, meanwhile, said that Mayweather Jr. will also have a fight on the same date. However, the reports said the Golden Boy Promotions has yet to find an opponent for the American fighter, who has not lost a fight.

    ‘Floyd blew it’ Thousands of boxing fans were disappointed after the most anticipated fight of the year between Pacquiao and Mayweather did not push through.

    Among those who has been waiting for the fight is Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White, who had a spat with Mayweather after the American boxer claimed in 2007 that mixed martial arts fighters can’t handle boxing.

    “I think [Floyd] blew this fight,” White said in a report by 5thRound.com.

    “When another fighter starts dictating a drug test, first of all, Pacquiao’s never tested positive for any drug but Floyd’s going to make him go through drug testing? That’s ridiculous,” he said.

    White was referring to Mayweather’s demand to have Pacquiao undergo an Olympic-style drug test, which, in effect, sent a message that the Filipino might have been using PEDs.

    White said that like other fight fans, he wants to see the Pacquiao-Mayweather match.

    “I want to see this fight. I’m dying to see this fight.”

    White said Floyd should have left the drug testing issue to the athletics commission to decide. “That’s what the commission is there for.”

    “The athletic commission is there for the safety of the fighters. They drug test, they blood test, they do all those other things. For another fighter to be calling out another fighter for some type of blood work is [expletive] crazy. Just [expletive] train for the fight and fight; that’s what everybody wants to see,” he added.

    There have been speculations that Mayweather Jr. avoided the face-off with Pacquiao for fear that his clean boxing record would be stained by the Filipino boxer. — Report from Bev Llorente, ABS-CBN North America News Bureau

  • KFC keeps on changing terms, he doesnt really want to fight manny! good luck KFC! PACs fight will be on the same day you’re fightin, lets just see if people buy your tickets! we only wants to see lose! so fighting other than PAC is a crap! go sell your own tickets!


    BFL commented on January 17, 2010 @ 1:10 pm

  • Boxing4Dummies ~ You didnt considered this, Pac’s not after the money why he agreed for the 50\50 split, he should be getting higher cause KFC’s the challenger, and since he’s the challenger, he shouldnt be making unecessary demands, also, he keep on changing his demands, means that he really doesnt want to fight Manny, so why prolong the negotiations. if you can see that there’s no point in discussing something cause you know in the end that he will still evade the fight, then just cancel everything. Its good that PAC cancelled the fight, goodluck for KFC, PAC doesnt have problems with money, but KFC does. btw KFC stands for Kenducky Floyd Chicken
