LOL..Yes Tom..boxing.Or...
Maybe the Mayweather camp suspects PacMan is using substances that the Olympic style testing will catch?
At any rate, to say that Mayweather is dodging Manny is probably incorrect. More than likely it's a setup to help promote the fight. After all, we are talking about boxing, right?
This certainly has all the makings of once in a generation type of matchup. Certainly one of the few fights that I'd be willing to pay several hundred dollars to attend in person. Unfortunately, if the fight happens, several hundred dollars would probably get me a comfy seat next to the rafters.LOL..Yes Tom..boxing.
Man..I used to love it like Sean does. But I can see the hype as well.
I hope Mayweather gets his as$ handed (personally). Either way..they are both bad mutha,, (shut yo mouth).
I do miss the 'ole days.

The scuttlebutt here in Vegas is centering on 2 things:
1. Mayweather doesn't want the fight in March, the Pacquiao camp does (Pacquiao will be campaigning for a Philippines Senate seat after March). This is one tactic to delay the fight to the preferred first or second weekend in May.
2. This is a stall tactic by Mayweather to get more money. The contracts aren't signed yet, so this generates controversy, which generates more pressure for the promoters to get the deal done. The more pressure it generates, the more money Mayweather will get.
I do think the boxing public here in Vegas was surprised by Pacquiao's response and refusal of all testing. Could be a tactic by him to generate more controversy and buzz, which should lead to more money for him.
The bottom line is this, the fight WILL happen. There is about $80 million dollars on the table already for this fight, no way in hell either of them walk away from that once in a lifetime payday.
....is Jerry Jones going to have the fight on the new Cowboys Stadium
Unbelievably the fight is off ... Pacquiao is going to fight a nobody on March 13th for WAYYYYY less money ... Quite possibly the dumbest thing to ever happen in the fight game from a financials stand point was not finding a way to make this happen ...
PS the Pacquiao-Clottey fight will take place at Cowboys Stadium
Did anyone watch the Uriah Faber fight last night? That dude is one driven individual.
