It's just reasonable to bring this into a court who will decide about this issue between the Pacquiao vs Mayweather camps. I am no longer eager and interested to see if the fight between this two protagonist will be materialized. Now, I am so eager and excited this fight will be held in court battle not in squares. Mayweather camp and company will be placed in a defensive mode while the Pacman's camp will try to land just like as many and contineous ra-ta-ta-ta punching speed and power. Manny Pacquiao has been badly damaged bombarded by false accusation without any justifying reason thru press conference in a well know Tabloids and internet which originates from Mayweather's camp, Oscar dela Hoya, Schaefer, Ring Magazine ( partly own by Oscar dela Hoya ) and the Golden Boy Promotion. I will surely wacth this issue and event from now on!!!

First of all we have'nt seen the best of Mayweather...Granted his opposition looks limited - cause he's a badass! Nonetheless when PacMan and Gayweather get it on it's gonna be a shootout - no doubt. Both have decent speed - Mayweather catches him with some harder shots. Mayweather by decision.

Scaredweather is the reason why boxing has lost fans. Why wont Gayweather agree to what Manny wants, do blood test 30 days before the fight, take extensive urine tests days before the fight and take a blood test after the fight. This is a perfectly good deal to make sure of no foul play. Not a single athlete has ever agreed to do extensive testing like this in any sport. Manny seems to be more than willing to comply with Gayweather's camp. Bottom line Gayweather is afraid to tarnish his undefeated record and fight a smaller man which he clearly has the advantage. Manny has done nothing but help bring boxing fans back and having something to be excited about to a dying sport. Gayweather just needs to suck it up and do what he will be paid to do, "FIGHT". Manny has fought everyone they put in front of him without any complaints or arrogance. Manny lets his fists do the talking and he goes out there to fight. He doesn't fight for points and look pretty out there. He is there to do his job and knock people out. Boxers these days fight for points, its not a sport for points its a sport to knock someone out. If Gayweather can't compromise with Manny, then the sport of boxing is over. UFC will be the modern day boxing where fighters go out there to fight.

I wonder why "flowed gaywaether?" and his father talk so much. They are very arrogant and so quick to trash sombody? I think Manny P no need to fight this guy. Gayweathe will not have a money bigger than what he can get from this match. If I am Manny, leave this dogs alone. They love to yap, yap... Seriously no gay (gayweather)deserve the honor to fight the best boxer in the world. I love to see him bit up tho. First, their bad mought then be spank in court. (Dela Hoya defaced again) then in the ring if it ever happens.

Man look here we all know Mayweather is the best to ever do it in his weaight class pound for pound what ever you want to call it and also he is in one of the best camps ever, so all you pac-man (fans) need to stop put on cause you know what gone happen. QUOTE JUST TAKE THE TEST !!!!!

The fans pay the huge money the boxers get just like the voters will be the ones who can elect Manny if he runs for office. Ordinary people give blood every week and take a leak every day for FREE. Manny is giving up $30,000,000 to do less! Reading his life story shows that he knows the value of money so I can only think of one reason why he is ducking the fight. I was a neutral, I like seeing a 'flash Harry' get whooped by a gritty scrapper as much as seeing a 'Floating Butterfly Sting' but fair play to Mayweather, he just wants fair play.

OK. First I would like to say that when floyd is in the ring you would be hard-pressed to find a bigger supporter than myself. However, his antics of dodge ball everytime an opponent of count arises is tarnishing his undefeated record. I recall the same trivial preoccupations when they tried to make the Cotto fight as well as Paul Williams and Antonio Magarito I am a bodybuilder and what I can weigh in on, is the fact that there is nothing that a urine sample during preparation for the fight and on the day of competition will not show as far as performance enhancing drugs. As a matter of fact, depending on what "poison" you are using, it can be detected in your perspiration as well. To demand a blood sample the day of the fight can definitely be argued as a way to deplete Paquiao. I do not know all the details but did Floyd also agree to take a test at the same time. Paquiao has agreed to a blood test immediately after the fight. Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson was stripped of his world record and Olympic medal as a result of a failed drug test that came AFTER he had won the 100m final. To floyd I say, "If you want to be the best you have to beat the best." Make the fight happen and lets see the results from the judges as well as the blood test that Paquiao agreed to ......AFTER the FIGHT.

Floyd & his camp have painted themselves into a corner.The Nevada testing rules are allready in place.Mayweather is trying to throw folks a curveball on this isue.He wants to make his own rules and Manny has absoutly no reason to play that game.In the interest of $$$$,$$$$.$$$.Pac Man has made reasonable comprimises to make the fight happen.If the Mayweather camp can't handle that, then eff them.Truly,Floyd wanting to have his own rules put into place gives me reason to doubt his motives.I'm beginning to think he's afraid to lose his undefeated status or maybe he should tell his father to smarten up!!! and just make that good money.He will get beat anyway.C'mon Floyd,just take the money and run.And I think there are other fighters around that can beat Mayweather including,Mosley,Paul Williams and maybe even Clottey.I saw the Cotto/Clotty fight and thought Clotty beat him!Where are you really coming from Floyd?you worried about it?

Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard... Champs like those would have fought each other in a dingy backalley to see who was the best. But not today. Example, Floyd Mayweather. He's always backed out of fighting opponents he suspects he can't beat, Margarito, Cotto, Clottey, and now Pacquiao. Mayweather is also too stupid to actually realize that he's scared of Pacquiao. So he makes excuses. Another way to explain his approach is as follows: Ever played a tennis player who had a million excuses for losing, the wind's too much, the balls too soft, the net's too high, etc. Floyd has his own: the money's too little, the venue isn't right, the fighter is taking steroids.... In short, Floyd joins a legion of boxers who dodge(d) the best... Joe Calzaghe, who stayed firmly in Wales for most of his career while his division heated up; Roy Jones Jr, who was a class fighter, but started to fake his pound for pound status until he was found out in 2004, and pummeled by an above average welterweight named Antonio Tarver. Pacquiao would have fit perfectly in the old school of Duran, Leonard and others. He probably would have lost at times, but he would have showed up on the day. Not Scaredweather, not Make my way outta here weather.
