In addition, Schaefer told ESPN.com that the sides had agreed on an unprecedented penalty if either fighter weighed in heavier than the contract limit of 147 pounds.
"We agreed to $10 million per pound, or fraction thereof," Schaefer said. "That's what the Pacquiao side wanted and we said OK to that. That's unheard of. We have agreed on everything except for this drug testing issue. I have to think Pacquiao is unaware of this. The drug testing had been part of the contract for a while and then they suddenly said no. I was informed of that morning. Suddenly they changed course and I don't know why."

it's accepted.
and maybe floyd accepted because manny has the better negotiating position? i thought you guys say floyd doesn't need manny? if he doesn't need manny then he should walk no?
the runner is paranoid right now trying to find a way to get out :rofl:
ex convicts and drug pushers suddenly became expert in pharmacology :bottle:
too much demands means paranoia... damn that is a psychiatric conditon :rofl:

littlemac--yes it has been---and left hook---when did manny agree to it--all i'm reading is he has a fear for needles and won't do it---roach and arum are about to walk away from the fight--you have a link or source to prove otherwise--i'm calling your bluff--but don't take it wrong---i just want a link bud--that's all---
manny's fans on here are nothing more than excuse freaks---floyd agreed to everything and manny can't agree to one thing---they're only adding fuel to the flame--and floyd is going to set manny on fire in the ring---i'm telling you...
Man after all this shit. I never thought I would say this, but Floyd is looking pretty decent. Ever since Manny was asked who he wanted next by Max and manny not saying May. Its been down hill from there.

when did pacquiao not agree to the bloodtesting?
manny agreed.
roach wanted 2. schaeffer says up to 5.
now they're just arguing about the number.
besides maybe the reason floyd is agreeing to everything is because he needs pacquiao more than pacquiao needs him. :)

versatile2k7 deleted my thread---is it because i used pussy in my title? i want an answer? coz manny is looking like a pussy---and versatile2k7---if you're suddenly apart of the boxingscene forums committee or something--you could've just let me know---you're a pussy also for doing that shit---don't delete my shit boy--what's wrong with you kid?
I like the negotiation antics.
I hope this fight falls through and Mayweather fights Mosley, and Pac fights someone at 140, or Valero.
That would be awesome.
But they are both gonna sign on the dotted line. It's surprising there aren't more problems than just this.
:boxing:
:nonono:
A "pacq protectionist" train of thought!
And they claim to be "Boxing Fans"?
well the ones that said Floyd would never agree to such a thing...
nah, theyll come, theyll extend, add, come up with something to make the discussion more "interesting".
Here's the actual process from USADA. Doesn't say anything about a random multiple blood test.
As of January 1, 2009, please be aware of the following changes not currently reflected in the video links on the following pages.
1. Athletes will need to provide at least 90mLs of urine.
2. Prior to providing the sample, the athlete must rinse his/her hands with water only.
3. After the sample has been collected, urine will first be poured into the B bottle and the remaining urine will be poured into the A bottle.
4. pH will no longer be measured.
5. Athletes will be required to provide whereabouts information and updates on a Whereabouts Filing rather than providing information on an Athlete Location Form.
6. Athletes will be asked to declare blood transfusions within the last six (6) months, medications and/or other substances taken in the last three (3) days (including vitamins, minerals, herbs, proteins, amino acids and other dietary supplements); Local injection(s) of glucocorticosteroids in the last two (2) months; Use of inhaler(s) in last three (3) days; and/or current Therapeutic Use Exemption(s).
why cant they just agreed with extraction of the blood sample right after the fight? are they expecting pacman to bleed dry during the bout? they could extract the blood right after the bell ending the fight.
these all boils down to one psychological war. why so much of concern with roids that were not detected in the previous fights? are mayweathers worried that they will not be able to execute their fight plans if mannys too strong? were they planning to knock pacman out? but is that floyds style? knocking people out?
or are they worried that pacmans is going to the fight so strong that floyds shoulders will be the first to be destroyed.
or this will prolly be nearer reason, they are worried that if pacmans on roids he can chase and catch up on floyds running around?
dang, for a vaunted defensive fighter and self proclaimed greatest of all time that speaks volume of how confident he is with himself.
I don't know why you hate the knock out king. I can't understand it.
Yeah, they will fight. I've waited 10 years for Mayweather-Mosley, guess I can wait longer.
I am very surprised this has gone somewhat smoothly. A puny blood test is the only beef so far.
I was hoping there would be more.
Pac's team seem to be great negotiators so far.
he's a commie! and he is way overrated.
did they settle the gloves? 8 ouncers are more important to me than blood tests if i was pacquiao.
it's hard to play hardball with pacquiao , i doubt he even pays attention to all the threats/criticisms/demands.
where the Pac fans at tho??? lol
Right here, and. I honestly think $10 million is ridiculous, but at the same time, after what Gayweather pulled on JMM, i don't blame Manny's camp. In regards to the drug test, again the issue is the blood testing that is even more ridiculous than this $10 million penalty. Do the basic Olympic drug testing and get it over with.
I was kidding :rofl:
it's close though.
burner is gonna order it for every family member and friend he has.
and 4 times for every tv he has in his house and even his tv in the car. :)
