Ive been saying recently that if Arum wants 30 and Floyd wants it the whole way then they should both compromise and meet in the middle at 2 weeks. I said that there is no way you can say that 2 weeks would affect Pac in any way. No way possible it weakends him and mentally it wouldnt even be on his mind by time the fight got there. Even the Pac fans have to admit 2 weeks is fair. They said it was when I was saying it. Last night when everyone said Pac's team proposed 24 and that Floyds team said NO to it all and werent even trying to negotiate, and then I said the 14 days thing, they all said it was cool. They said it was cool but Floyd wont bend from him wanting up all the way until the day of the fight.
I even went against alot of Floyd fans and said that I can understand Pac saying NO but you cant understand 14 days. Thats pretty much meeting everyone down the middle. Then not only do you turn it down but you start spouting off all crazy like Arum was doing last night? It just seems weird and strange. Floyd is killing him right now, espically with the mediator stuff on top of it
Why ask for random blood test, let them fight using the existing boxing commission rules and regulations.
Thess fukkin new rules is actually ruining boxing as a sport.
And the Mayweather camp will now be forced to request this testing rules in any of his future fights if only for the appearance of being sincere in "cleaning up the sport." But then, I don't think there'll be any more fights for him. $40 millon is enough reason to retire for good.
If you go through my posts i have mentioned the 14 days cut off for a while, i do think its fair with two other blood tests.
The bottom line is both fighters are hesitate to sign the deal because they fear losing. They are reticent to compromise on the final issue to close the deal.
The sport of boxing has been around in a professional sense for 125 years it will live on even if the pac-may fight dosent happen.
There is enough politics in boxig and PBF dont need to make things more difficult for himself.
Pac is giving PBF the opportunity to fight him, so PBF dont need to be playing hard ball. Its been said many times. PBF has more to gain from this fight than PBF.
Pacs legacy is basically secured. He could retire today. What he has done is phenomenal. PBF knows hes got more to do in the time he has left in this sport.

And it's ruining boxing how?
I think for $40 million every other fighter in the sport would agree to random testing up to 14 days of the fight, no problem.
I know what's on Pac's mind. "why should I have to agree in everything floyd will say, he's my bìtch, i'm not his bìtch. i don't need him, he needs me." That's the root of the problem.
He's coming out now because the media in his own country is all over him. They blame him for the fallout by requesting strange demands that you've never seen in boxing. One local US TV even adds that Manny has already agreed above and beyond what is in place that have suited Mayweather himself in many of his fights, which is in Las Vegas.
If you really want to fight from the start you don't ever suspect your opponent of using drugs. You brush it aside. It's a small matter. If so, you ask the proper authorities to do something about it. I've never seen any fighter complain about his opponent using drugs. This is the first time.

Hey bro when did you call it?
I called it too
and I said if manny needs to put in a clause that if he tests clean throught he should get $5mil from Floyd then I retracted and said $1mil
They should quickly get this fight out of the way. Hopefully there next fight, or rematch they can have longer to think about and it wont be rushed.
I am assuming these two will not only have one fight.
So i say just sign and get this one out of the way, then we can get ready for the next one.
All that shit is Pac's fault. He should say **** that Election and run the next time around. That ****in election date has screwed all this shit up. March is too early and September or later is too late
I would take 14 days too.
On the other hand Floyd started this whole mess with the random testing in the first place, Pac even agreeing to them at all in itself is a compromise.
Both sides are faulty here, BOTH SIDES.
True, and thats why I have always said that I understand it on both sides and I wouldnt blame either if the fight doesnt come off but in Floyd's defence now, the Pac camp knew from day 1 what Floyd's team wanted and they said it was no problem. Then out the blue everything changed. Then Pac's team said that he's ok with it but just not a day or 2 before the fight. Then Roach said give him 3-5 days and theyre fine. then the next thing it jumped all the way to 30. I dont think Floyd's camp likes 14 days at all. I know they didnt want that and you know thats true also. They want the whole thing so they can make sure but they are compromising big time. I thought they still would start low if they caved, like at 3 days or 5 days or maybe 7 but they went all the way to 14. Thats definatly fair. Again, Pac doesnt have to do it and I probably still wont rip him but I would come from the Center and lean a little to Floyd's side if it didnt come off because I think 14 days, taking the 10mil penalty, fighting with the 8oz gloves, going 50/50 immediatly, and making it at 147 shows that Floyd was willing to make this fight happened all the way
They still have plenty of time. If they sign to do and do the quick 1 or 2 tour dates then they can still get there 8 weeks in. If they can move it back to March 20th like theyve been saying then that gives them the extra time they may want

Pac might agree to a 14 day if it is true that PBF offered it. But how long a training camp have they got now. 6 weeks or so now. Theyd need a week to recover from this garbage they call negotiatiing.

"14 days compromise" - we haven't heard of it until now. Maybe Floyd doesn't want to lose the guaranteed over 20M$ deal after all. Let see what team Pac has to say.
:boxing:

They both still plan on fighting in March, and the Press conferences was suppose to be this week, so there is still time...
