    I do. At this point, both are a little past their primes. Both can make shitloads of excuses in the event of a loss. The time when it would have been THE BEST vs. THE BEST has come and gone.

    maybe or maybe not. there are no boxing fans who wont watch because of that line of thought.

    monetarily the fight has not gotten any smaller

    I wonder how Pacquiao/Cotto would have gone if Cotto was allowed to weigh in at 154.

    Agree 100%. The most disappointing thing about watching last night's fight was the fact that we we're deprived of seeing them fight at their peaks.

    And every day, month, year and fight that goes by, it will be closer to Leonard-Hearns II IF the first fight never happened.

    Sad.

    Honestly? Cotto would have still been busted up and probably stopped, whatever he weighed in, he wouldn't be able to handle Pacquiao's offense. Likewise, Floyd still would have comfortably beaten the juiced Marquez.

    Exactly. Pac handled Cotto, Floyd stuggled. I don't care what the score cards said, it was closer than the cards said it was. If anything this will make Floyd avoid the fight even more. Expecially if Manny looks good against Bradley. And why in the fuck is Floyd talking about testing still when it's not even an issue any more? Who the hell is he trying to fool?

    If he's the best, take the test. I'm sick of hearing this. I wish someone called him on this shit. It's a non issue. The issue now is Floyd is greedy or scared. It's one of the two.

    True....but Pacquiao still wants 50/50 considering Floyd sell plenty more PPV that is still unacceptable for Mayweather.

    Since when? Aren't their PPVs about equal these days?

    They are the 2 biggest draws in the sport by a country mile, it has to be 50/50, anything else is absurd.

    Well if the Cotto vs. Mayweather number are as good as expected the margin became wider. Close to 2 million PPV....Pac vs. Bradley will do what?? 1 million? Maybe 1.1?

    Its still an issue cause PBF mkes it an issue. How do u figure its not an issue. If PBF feels that his opponent may or may not be cheating then he has a right to request the piss and blood testing. Now just like its his right to request it the opponents have a right to decline. I'll Holla 5000

    ILLU post the figures from their recent 3 or 4 fights, as far as I know the numbers are very similar, and both the best in boxing by far, if any fight should be 50/50, it's this one.

    It's not an issue because Pacquiao agreed :lol:

    PBF only "makes it an issue" because it's his way of bitching out of the fight, and fooling his fans.

    Because straight after Manny agreed, Floyd suddenly changed his demands to 60/40 or whatever.

    Why would he have talked about Manny if Manny didn't agree? He would have just highlighted once again the fact that he requires to drug test to make the fight.

    You're right, and the sole reason he does that is to fool people like you into thinking Pacquiao hasn't agreed to the tests :Thumbs:

    Meanwhile, Arum, Manny and Roach are saying they agreed to the testing. I guess Mayweather saying it makes it true, he's got you convinced so it worked.
