    Well, Floyd would have to get his blood drawn too. So no one would be at an advantage.

    Football players get tested before games randomly, and HGH testing will be mandatory soon. It doesn't take a lot out of you.

    Pac is going to get his biggest payday ever if he fights Floyd and he'll be set for generations. He should just agree to whatever Floyd wants.

    When you awake from the feinting couch, maybe you'll realize that he is - undeniably - a first ballot, no-doubt-about-it, IBHOF guy. He will be in Canestota next to the rest (if he bothers to show up...) one day and that's not even remotely debatable

    Listen, I'm surprised I have to even explain this - Floyd is a jerk, but kind of on purpose. Getting upset about his antics is akin to getting mad at Ted "The Million Dollar Man" DiBiase when he kicked the basketball away from a 3rd grader before he could earn $100 for dribbling it -it's all an act. Designed to elicit the response you just gave.

    Now instead of easilly beating Ortiz, he has set up a possible rematch for another nice payday. It's a business after all.

    I think the fight will happen, after the next Pac's fight w/ Marquez. It'll happen sometime around next May-June.

    Floyd wants to solidify his legacy, and Pac wants to go out with a bang to the boxing world before he goes off to governing the Phillipines.

    Floyd antics may work on other ppl, but i aint paying a penny to see his ppv until he fights Pacquaio. Until then, im just going to stream all his fights and watch him and his acts on youtube :p

    may agreed to rpacquios demands of the ring size, glove size, and that BS $10 million dollar weight penalty so why can't top rank/paqcuiao agree to the only demand floyd wanted?

    I know it's really difficult for some folks to understand but MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING to some people.
    I'm pretty sure Pacquiao is fairly well set for the rest of his life and for his children and children's children. Money is everything to some people but perhaps it's not the be all and end all for Pacquaio???

    I could barely understand a damn thing in this but what I took out was the same thing I mentioned above.
    The sport may be about money but it doesn't necessarily mean a champion that handles his money well will be constantly dependent on fighting just for a payday.
    As has been noted regularly, money doesn't appear to be an issue w/regards to the fight. Once Floyd decides he doesn't mind putting his undefeated record on the line against Pacquiao then the fight will happen.
    As was mentioned, Floyd spent a fair amount of his press conference coming up with excuses re. the Pacquiao fight. This came from boxing analysts that like and dislike Mayweather.

    I don't buy into all the people saying Floyd would have easily dominated had the fight gone on without incidence. He won the first 3 rounds but Ortiz was winning the 4th before all the BS happened and still had a fighting chance. He has come back in fights before where he was hit a lot harder and even knocked down, and Ortiz's punches in later rounds are just as hard as earlier rounds.

    It's Ortiz's fault for throwing that r****ded head butt and also not protecting himself but the fight was far from over before the dirty tactics. Too bad... cause this fight could have been much, much more competitive than the first 3 rounds indicated.

    Just a sad way for a fight to end.

    I find it funny people are criticizing behavior of a boxer. Go look up Fritzie Zivic, dirtiest fighter in history. Roberto Duran used to thumb people in the eye. Ali held head down to set up punches. It's a fight, not golf or tennis.

    There gonna both make 70 mil plus for the fight u do realize that everytime they hold out and dnt fight they come back with and even bigger payday. I dnt Care how good or bad pacman is with his money I can gautentee u that he wants that record setting payday just like mayweather. Dnt get it twisted pacman loves the sport and has the media love right now and is the good guy while Floyd Is the bad guy but they both fight for money. These guys are breaking pay per view sales everytime they fight there generating alot of money and interest in the sport and I love it and so does boxing. They will fight and it's gonna be sooner than everyone thinks. This will be one of the biggest fights if not the biggest fight in the history of the sport and will challenge both fighters legacys. No one knows what will happen or who will win PAC has never faced a fighter as skilled as Floyd and floyds never faced an opponent as good as PAC this we all know anyone that thinks pacman will kill him or Floyd will do the same is just talking out there ass these are too of the best boxers in the history of the sport let's just hope they make it happen and then we can all argue about who's gonna win for a few months and on fight night we can all be apart of sports history.
