*ARUM SAYING HE CANT FORCE MANNY TO FIGHT MAYWEATHER. "IT'S HIS LIFE"
Arum indicated he didn’t want to convince Pacquiao to fight Mayweather on March 13 because “its his life”
but said “ I just want to lay it all out and let him make his own decision.”
Arum said if he (Pacquiao) doesn’t fight it will be a letdown for the sport.
*ARUM BASICALLY SAYING IF PACQUIAO DUCKS THIS FIGHT MAYWEATHER WILL HAVE BEATEN PACQUIAO IN THE PUBLIC'S EYE.
“Mostly a letdown for himself because I can hear Mayweather crowing.
Then he would have won the fight without having to throw a punch. And Manny will never, never be able to repair it.”
Horus Sidenote:
Even Arum understands that if Pacquiao try's to duck this fight, after all the
trash talk, Arum and Team Pacquiao has thrown at Mayweather.
There would be no excuses justifiable to rationize Pacquiao not fighting Mayweather. NONE !!
*ARUM THERE IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO FIGHT ON MARCH 13TH
Arum said "you can make an argument that because he is running for office Manny can’t fight on May 1st but you can’t logically with a straight face make an argument for March 13."
Arum remarked that if the Mayweather camp said its May 1st or there’s no fight then okay, no problem. But they didn’t say that.” Arum said he had been told that Pacquiao can’t campaign until March 25 so March 13 is a perfect, perfect date. Everybody has to work hard. We got to decide right away and get to it.”
Arum said that he hasn’t seen anything like the clamor for a Pacquao-Mayweather fight “in a long, long time where everybody, everybody wherever I go say to me when is the Manny-Mayweather fight going to happen, where is it going to happen or is it going to happen? Its not just the United States its everybody in the world .
*ARUM ADMITS THAT IF PACQUIAO DOESNT TAKE THIS FIGHT, THEN IT WILL BE SEEN THAT PACQUIAO IS DUCKING MAYWEATHER!!
"Therefore the truth is that if for any reason Manny doesn’t want to go through with that fight, his popularity among those people is going to really be diminished because it will look to these people that he is ducking Mayweather.”
*ARUM EXPLAINING THAT PACQUIAO SHOULD NOT TRY TO DRAG HIS FEET.
Arum said "we have everything in place to get it done but we’ve got to start now." Arum indicated "there is no reason why Pacquiao wouldn’t do the fight. He trains in the months of January and February and we are not doing a tour and doing only one press conference in New York at Madison Square Garden." He said Pacquiao can go into training in Baguio City or the Wild Card gym in Los Angeles.
*ARUM IS WARNING PACQUIAO THAT MAYWEATHER WILL BURY PACQUIAO IF HE DUCKS THIS FIGHT AND MAYWEATHER WOULD BE RIGHT TO DO SO..!!
Arum said "I am not here to interfere with his political life and March 13 doesn’t." He also made it clear that if Pacquiao "let’s Mayweather off the hook now by not agreeing to the March 13 date because of politics here in this country then we are never going to get him (Mayweather) in the ring. We will give him the excuse to say ‘yeah I’ll fight anybody but look at this Pacquiao."
*ARUM EXPLAINING WHY PACQUIAO COULD WIN
The astute promoter who promoted some of Mayweather’s fights in the past said he doesn’t think Mayweather "has anything to beat him (Pacquiao) with. I think Mayweather is a very, very good defensive fighter and I think that between Freddie (Roach) and Manny they’ll find a key to be able to attack Mayweather and once Manny can attack Mayweather I don’t think Mayweather can take his punches. I look for Manny to knock him out in six or seven rounds."
Arum cautioned against underestimating Mayweather stating that he is a "very, very good fighter. He is probably one of the best defensive fighters that I’ve seen. But I tell you that as far as Manny Pacquiao, he will destroy Mayweather and that’s why I like the fight, my matchmaker Bruce Trampler who is about to enter the Hall of Fame and Freddie Roach likes the fight and that’s why Mayweather has been reluctant to do the fight" stressing that it is imperative for Pacquiao to agree.
Manny has agreed to blood tests
2 before and 1 the day after the fight
If negotiations stall again, it will be Team Mayweather's doing.
Why would they agree with Olympic style drug testing in the first place?
Manny Pacquiao has always been willing to spill blood to win a fight. He's not nearly as eager to give blood to get a fight.
Floyd Mayweather The Puppet Master.
"They want to put it in Manny's head that they can come in any time and take blood," Arum said. "Manny believes taking blood will weaken him. This is absolutely outrageous. Who does Floyd Mayweather think he is, the commissioner of boxing?"
RS:
"Manny Pacquiao probably thinks it's going to be some nurse with a big needle sucking out a gallon of blood and leaving him lying on the floor for a week," Schaefer said.
they are hiding something dude. Pacquiao is clearly on something.
Fight Mayweather and take the test. Or retire.
that is pacquiao only 2 options.
I don't know of any other explanation. They should have just refused to take any tests and let the fight fall by the wayside.
I'm still stunned at Arum claiming Manny "freaks out at the sign of needles????""
Is that possible?
Manny will risk his life in Baguio City defying the threat of a hurricane and makes time to sit in a chair getting a 2 hour tattoo spilling his blood on the artist, but he freaks out at the sight of a needle?
Does that make any sense?
How many times has Manny been to a doctor for a checkup and had blood drawn from his body?
Anybody know?
Whatever happened to "Close your eyes, turn your head and grin and bear it"?
First Team Pacquiao agrees to Olympic style drug testing, But now that doesn't count because the NFL and NBA testing is more lenient?
Can someone please explain this to me?

It says a lot about public opinion. My friend follows boxing, but not like a lot of the people on here. So imagine what the GENERAL public is thinking.
Pac fans, like it or not, Pac refusing to comply with the testing seems suspect. He's already taken a blow to his image, believe me.
Do you really think the average sports fan or person sees the headline "Pacquiao refuses to comply with drug testing" is thinking "Oh Mayweather is ducking Pacquiao"?
No. They think one of two things:
1. Manny doesn't want to fight Floyd
2. Manny has something to hide
That simple.
you hit the nail on the head my friend.
Damn even as A Floyd fan, I never knew this guy was SO GOOD AT GETTING INTO FIGHTERS heads like this... he is really really ****ing with pacquiao mind.
wow..that speaks volumes

It's the biggest shift I've seen.
My friend who was rooting for Pacquiao, heard the news and decided he was rooting for Mayweather. He said, "Pacquiao is dirty".
Damn Mayweather just knocked out pacquiao without even landing a punch!
Mayweather has said bad things about Arum his former promoter. He says I know how Arum dealt with me "i was only a commodity and not even human." Freddy Roach who hates Mayweather Sr also dosent like little floyd. In that BBC interview he implied that roach is dying due to his condition and needs "big payday to cash out" since his condition is getting worse.
It's the biggest shift I've seen.

Everywhere I go, Mayweather has public opinion on his side..
Pacquiao have to take these test.
