    It's not like Pac waited for Mosley to get shot is it.

    Yeah because Floyd so cares about the good of the sport.

    Indeed. It's unfortunate that the same can't be said about Manny Pac.

    That's where I am at with this. It won't happen at the present-day asking price, but will come at a time when both absolutely need the money. I presume that day for Floyd will come sooner rather than later, but will reach a point where Manny will either have to lose or can find a way to leverage Floyd at the negotiating table.

    Honestly, what the sport needs right now is to really move beyond this fight. The media mentioning it every other article really doesn't help matters.

    I always saw both sides of the argument, to be honest.

    There's no question that present day drug-testing in the American boxing scene is a joke. But at the same time, the fact that the random drug-testing was limited to Floyd-Shane itself and not anyone else on the card spoke volumes of how much posturing was involved. Floyd should have at least had Cornelius Lock (to my knowledge, the only other fighter "promoted" by Mayweather Promotions) agree to it as well.

    All that said, I never agreed with it being a dealbreaker for Pac/Floyd.

    Most people see through Floyd's bullshit. A lot of people are still fooled by Manny Pac.

    What has Manny Pac done to fool anybody? He fought and beat the best fighters in the world that are much bigger than himself.
