“I think something happened to Floyd in his last fight, something wasn’t there that used to be there, something weird. I truly believe his legacy means more to him than money does,” White said of Mayweather.
“Me and Floyd go way back … I think [Floyd] blew this fight,” White said. “When another fighter starts dictating a drug test, first of all Pacquiao’s never tested positive for any drug but Floyd’s going to make him go through drug testing? That’s ridiculous.”
“Does [that bout not happening] hurt me either way? No I don’t think so, boxing and mixed martial arts can exist,” White explained. “That fight not happening is insane, it makes no sense to me.”

UPDATE [from Luke Thomas]: This comment – though it was never linked by 5thround – came from White’s interview with Chad Dukes and Lavar Arrington at the Patriot Center on Monday. How do I know? I was there next to all three men when this was going on. Listen here for yourself.
Gents, all you had to do was source Arrington and Dukes and you didn’t. You’re literally THAT lazy.
