Team Floyd Mayweather Rejects Top Rank's Final Offer

By Mark Vester

Add Floyd Mayweather Jr. to the mix. He joins Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer in rejecting the final offer of Top Rank's Bob Arum. Leonard Ellerbe, CEO for Mayweather Promotions and adviser to Floyd, told Yahoo Sports that his side will not agree to Arum's final offer to save the fight with Manny Pacquiao on March 13. Ellerbe said Team Mayweather will not agree to Arum's position by Monday, which is the deadline set by Top Rank to accept their offer, or Arum will replace Mayweather with Paulie Malignaggi.

Mayweather and Golden Boy want "random" Olympic-style drug tests. He wants both fighters to go through random blood and urine tests during their entire training period. Pacquiao and Top Rank will agree to additional blood and urine tests, but not within 30-days of the fight unless the Nevada State Athletic Commission orders them to do so.
