Pacquiao agreed to random bloodtesting over two years ago. His one stipulation is that he wouldn't on the day of the fight.

Another thing Manny hasn't agreed to is the fight money Mayweather had offered. Mayweather offered him $50M of the take, which could exceed $400M. Not exactly a fair split.

Yea no way Manny is dodging Mayweather. Mayweather needs to concede on a few things to make this fight happen. Problem is I don't think Mayweather thinks he needs this fight, when in all actuality his legacy will be tarnished if he doesn't fight Pacquaio

Mayweather goes to jail today. Can't say I'm not a little happy because he is getting what he deserves but it also means for the next 87 days we won't get any closer to seeing the fight everyone wants to see (except Mayweather)

Can an Admin change the thread title. It is just patently false. This fight isn't getting closer and never will. Every time this thread pops up again it is false advertising.

I was taught never to pick a fight I couldn't win. I think Mayweather was taught the same lesson.

Yahoo Sports:

Quote:
The burden, finally, is fully and entirely on Floyd Mayweather Jr. to make a fight with Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao agreed Thursday during appearances on two separate television shows on ESPN to give Mayweather a 55-45 advantage on a financial split should they fight, as the public has been demanding since late 2009. A match between them is expected to be the most lucrative bout in boxing history.

Pacquiao, who meets Juan Manuel Marquez for a fourth time on Dec. 8 in Las Vegas, had been demanding a 50-50 split. Without such a split, he’d said repeatedly over the last 18 months that he would not agree to a fight with Mayweather.

The other major hurdle blocking the fight between the two men regarded by many as the two best in the world was Mayweather's demand for Olympic-style drug testing. Initially, Pacquiao balked at the testing. He has since changed his stance and has said repeatedly over the last year he would fully comply with the tests, just as Shane Mosley, Victor Ortiz and Miguel Cotto have done in Mayweather's last three fights.

In a telephone interview with Yahoo! Sports on Monday, Pacquiao made no mention of a purse split, but he was as optimistic about the possibility of a fight with Mayweather as he had ever been.

"I think Mayweather will be next," Pacquiao said, declining to specify why.

But by agreeing to give Mayweather the lion's share of the purse, Pacquiao has shifted the onus to Mayweather.
