    May is all about the money, REEKO. And that's how you know he didn't back out of the biggest purse in boxing history.

    If Manny is so rich then why is he so desperate for money ? A concert...really !? I guess PED's are really expensive...
    _____

    Just 603 tickets sold for concert

    A promoter says poor ticket sales have forced the cancellation of Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao's upcoming concert Sunday in Waikiki.

    Ryan Chang of Island Fire Productions said Tuesday he stood to lose about $50,000 on the concert, even with late sales and walk-ups.

    Only 603 tickets had been sold for the show ... Pacquiao was going to earn $100,000 at the "Manny Pacquiao Live In Hawaii Concert Celebration."

    Reverse thinking, why didn't Mayweather back down and agree on the testing 24 days before? It was the biggest purse in boxing history, regardless of winning/losing. If Pac shows up dirty after the fight, Mayweather's lost will probably just be an *.

    Either way, would like to see Money go down, but Mosley's on the decline.

    They are the absolute worst.

    Floyd is going to beat Shane a lot easier then people expect

    I can't wait for the fight to go down because it WILL go down and then PBF fans will cry themselves to sleep. You better hope Shane doesn't do it first.

    I know, but Pac didn't. That was my point. If remember correctly, the fight was set to be random testing up to 30 days. Mayweather wanted Olympic which is random up to fight day, Pac said he'd do up to 24 days. Mayweather insisted on Olympic standards, fight canceled.

    In other words, Mayweather did not compromise to make the fight happen. Why didn't he just take the 24 days and lots of money? This wasn't the Olympics, so that style testing was not required.

    Jesus Christo this thread is about Mayweather vs Mosley. Please take this BS elsewhere. I swear this is getting as r****ded as the PC vs Mac debate.

    Because this is boxing, and you can get killed in the ring. Having someone possibly being on drugs only enhances that risk. So take the drug tests and show the world you're clean.

    Its not about Pac being dirty, it's about pride.

    If someone kept giving you conditions after conditions, there is a point where it's just not worth the time to deal with it. Sure you may say it's a lot of money and he would be stupid not to take it, but you have to understand that Pac is already rich and you are not. You need the money more than he does.

    Exactly this. Pac already made several concessions to Mayweather's demands, but Mayweather kept asking for more and more because he wanted nothing to do with Pac. I wouldn't have been surprised if he would have asked Pac for a rectal exam if Pac would have agreed to his previous demand.

    I lost all respect for Mayweather, but I think he'll beat Mosley easily.

    Mayweather, in another boring fight that is not close becuase he is so much better than his competition. Mosley, pac would be a better fight, because we could see how he would do against someone with some skill.
