    Its something that annoys me. Commentators are there to give impartial commentary on what is unfolding. But they always get involved, have favourites, agendas, etc.

    Like I've said before and Musze recently highlighted, at this point there is more evidence to suggest Floyd has used PEDs than Pacquiao.

    I'll take Don Dunphy with his ancient Manhattan accent dispassionately telling you what he sees happening and describing the atmosphere and the fighters and their cornermen any day... It's like listening to my late Grand Uncle Jack calling fight if he wasn't a haughty, racist arsehole (RIP)

    It's hilarious that people are trying to make hay of this. The contract is already signed, Floyd's team includes lawyers & they would never agree to some shit like that. Pure gamesmanship on the part of the guy who claimed he couldn't take a drug test because he was "afraid of needles."

    It was a pathetic excuse, and did nothing but make Pacquiao look bad, but there is a big difference between a tattoo needle and a big needle going into a vein and extracting blood.

    The former wouldn't bother me at all, but I fucking hate big plunging/extracting needles.

    The leverage is that 50/50 is bullshit. The only way that the promotion doesn't get better than 50/50 is if the PPV providers collude. That will just open doors to anti-trust lawsuits.

    Why is 50/50 bullshit? For starters, I'm only guessing because I don't know exactly what the providers do. So if someone knows, enlighten me/us. However, I am assuming that, like with realtors, your 6% standard commission becomes very flexible if you have an expensive, easy-to-sell house. That's what this fight is.
