I disagree that it does not matter who is at fault! So far all the evidence points to Manny and Arum not agreeing to the "A" side's demands but somehow they are given a pass. In no other fight is the "B" side been given so many passes and so much leeway.

Floyd cannot make Manny agree to blood testing, that is what killed the fight back in their negotiations in 2010, Mayweather then offered Pacquiao 40 million dollars, the highest purse any fighter has ever been offered at the time in boxing but still Manny refused, another DUCK.

Floyd cannot make them agree to something that they don't want but if they do not agree then that is what you call ducking, none of Mayweather's demands were out of the realm of making this fight.

Mayweather agreed to all of Manny's demands but when he asked of one back in 2010 then he got a resounding no and Pacquiao ducked out of the fight.

The blame should be on Manny, the facts are out there for the entire world to see, negotiations in the media do not count; all that matters is when they both sat down to legally discuss this bout and Manny ran away from the needles.

So far they are doing well by keeping the talks going and neither party announcing either has disagreed or ended the negotiations but Manny Pacquiao should not be given a pass for ducking back in 2010 with the weakest and most pathetic excuse any fighter has ever made (I'm afraid of needles/having blood drawn weakens me).

I know you Pacquiao fans will whine, cry and call me names but I have posted the links to the facts that you all continually ignore. Put the blame where it belongs for the fight not happening when it mattered the most in 2010 on Arum and Manny Pacquiao.

Am I alone in thinking that the Mayweather-Pacquiao situation has become stale and boring?

It doesn't matter who is at fault, personally I blame both and their promotional/management teams over the last 6 years as well as the TV companies.

The excuses are pathetic, the lies told to the boxing public are inexcusable.

They have denied the fans the biggest fight in the history boxing for over half a decade.
They have completely denied them the chance of seeing it, with both men in their prime.
We had 2 guys, top of pretty much everyones p4p list for the past 8 or 9 years and they fought in the same weight class.
The fight was there to be made and at any time in the last 6 years and would have earned both guys outrageous sums of money.


They do need to fight each other, they did need to fight each other.
If they do not now fight each other, it should go down as a black mark against both mens career, regardless of what they have achieved!

Hallelujah!

Team Pacquiao & Team Mayweather need to read this ASAP, but I won't hold my breath.

With the @premierboxing announcement today, best guess by those around the @FloydMayweather @MannyPacquiao deal is a Thursday announcement.
