I think it's time we came up with a comprehensive timeline of events for the whole Mayweather Pacquiao drama.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

The facts have been laid out very clearly. I gather that Freddie Roach and Bob Arum were attempting to do anything they could've possibly done in order for Manny to fight anyone but Floyd. They were talking about 140lbs is the best weight for the fight. They were saying that March 13th is too fast of a turn around. They said they were fine with the drug testing at first. He's been busted on camera taking blood tests around the same time he claims to make him weak. It's just a bunch of hoopla and it's clear that Manny wants his team to pick him the fights that have a low risk of danger. Floyd Mayweather is more than willing to school that boy, but he doesn't want to take the test. Never mind what he's saying now. When it mattered the most, he refused. I'm not a doctor but I think that's all I needed to hear in order to be convinced. Never mind the blood tests that he's taken before, he didn't take that one. I'm torn in between Manny and his handlers being over-protective/concerned/afraid, or he doesn't want to take a test because he's hiding something. I've read so many contradicting and conflicting statements coming from the Pacquiao camp. Even the retired judge called them on their lies. Floyd clearly tried to svae the fight by offering 14 days. He should've took it then. Manny's team knows what they can and can't handle. Mayweather's a little too much for them so they bailed. They keep trying to make Floyd look bad but, they only make themselves look bad. Chavez wins the title. Arum wants Chavez-Cotto. 'Sergio Martinez is not a PPV attraction'. Here we go again. That comment translates to ducking the fight.

Great analysis, I strongly agree. I can't wait to see the timeline for the second round of negotiations!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbsup_anim.gif)
