Manny's just as guilty and stupid for turning down a $30m payday because he "feels weak" days after giving blood as Floyd is for making it a point of contention in the first place.
Fine, but you can't reverse the demands because that's not how it happened. Pac's camp wasn't making comical steroid allegations.
In any case, Mayweather left the sport under his own volition and he shouldn't be surprised that there's a new boss in town upon his return. Pacquiao's star power is basically the only thing that's kept boxing relevant over the last couple of years and because of that, he deserves more leeway than PBF. Mayweather is no longer in the driver's seat when it comes to whose terms they fight on and that's his own damn fault.
Both camps deserve a degree of blame, I agree...but suggesting it's equal parts is just ridiculous.

And this doesn't even touch on the fact that Floyd was willing to sign a deal giving Manny $10m for every pound he went over the weight limit which is above and beyond what the NSAC demands.
lol, not exactly difficult to propose soemthing like this when you're pretty sure the fight won't happen anyways.
