LOL.
Now it's Floyd's turn to cut a slice of the negotiation.
Pacquiao is now the upper level on this one. He's shutting up the Mayweathers.
Would they fight the Pacman?

MANILA (AFP) – Manny Pacquiao has rekindled hopes for a dream fight with Floyd Mayweather Jnr after agreeing to a tough drug-test demand by his only serious rival for the title of the world's best pound-for pound boxer.
Negotiations for the bout fell through earlier this year when the American Mayweather insisted on Olympic-style random drug testing, which the Filipino seven-time world champion rejected as too intrusive.
But Pacquiao, fresh from winning a seat in the Philippine Congress, told local television network ABS-CBN he was now ready to agree to the blood tests, ABS-CBN said on its website.
"I have agreed to it, but they should not draw too much blood. They should only take what is necessary for the drug test," Pacquiao, who has said he does not like letting blood close to his fights, told the station.
"Fourteen days," Pacquiao added, stating the time limit for blood to be taken before the fight.
In the run-up to the aborted March bout, Mayweather called for repeated blood testing up to the day of the fight. Pacquiao, who has never failed a doping test, wanted a 30-day cut-off.
Mayweather later said he agreed to a 14-day cut-off but that Pacquiao would not accept it.
The two rivals signed up to fight other opponents, Pacquiao beating Ghana's Joshua Clottey and Mayweather defeating Shane Mosley.
Pacquiao, the reigning World Boxing Organisation welterweight champion, told ABS-CBN he wanted to find out whether the anti-doping controversy was the real reason Mayweather had refused to fight him in March.
"So he will no longer have a reason (not to fight)," Pacquiao said. "Let's see if that is really the reason," he added.
Pacquiao said he had earlier rejected Mayweather?s demands because they were not required by professional boxing rules. Fighters should not meddle, he added.
"I'm a boxer, so why should I interfere with the work of the commission. That's the reason commissions are there, so they can set the rules."
US promoter Bob Arum told the Manila Standard newspaper earlier this month the clash, which would likely generate one of the biggest purses and television audiences in boxing history, could take place on November 13 in Texas or Las Vegas.
Well you do know that Mayweather's 14 day offer was taken off the table in February right?
Quit your damn excuses already. Floyd needs to man the hell up.
LOL.

people are so damn blind, if Floyd's demand is NO cut off then how is the bold statement true? Manny agreeing to Floyd's "Testing Demands"? how do you get "fourteen days" out of NO cut off? and then actually convince the people that this is somehow "agreeing" to Floyd's demand, he isn't demanding 14 days. THAT would have been agreeing to his demand if he was requesting 14 days but he's not he requested ZERO days so how is Manny "agreeing" to the test? read between the lines people..
YEAH and I just learned that through an exclusive that someone just invented the cure for cancer ...but its only on my local network where I live News 3(but believe me) it was on my news for my town....:wank:
Yeah, we live in the internet world now, btw. There's no such thing as local news anymore.
Mayweather's interviews are mostly in US. Is there any difference?
This news is from last year, fyi.
A penalty is different than an agreement. it is what you pay when you don't do what you agreed to do. who has history of doing not what was agreed? pac/team has a historical reason to demand a penalty clause.
so does floyd's team...pac has come in over his weight limit historically...
k, so long as you're convinced. :lol1:
Nah, I'm living in a fantasy world like your sig. 'We already got our outfit picked for the fight... we just waitin (For VIctor Ortiz)" :lol1:
bwahaha. look at these tards, especially the prince
Hey buddy, how's your acting career going?
testing will always be an issue, don't you get this?
No, I don't apparently. I don't see why it wasn't an issue until the public wanted Floyd to fight Manny, I guess he telepathically knew his previous 40 opponents had no ties to A-Side Meth. But Pac and Arum say it's not an issue- random, unlimited OST (or FST, Floyd Style Testing) has been agreed upon.
It's only an 'issue' because you need to come up with a reason for why your boy's pu$$y is showing. Enjoy the upcoming vacation, plenty of rent-a-cops and women to smack around. :boxing:
How was it clear exactly? Their claim was that they never bothered to enter into negotiations (HBO called bullsh*t on that). They went straight for the exit.
testing will always be an issue, don't you get this?
Its an issue until Pac signs the contract and Arizas latest call is Pac wont take the test , now if Pac cant get his own team to stick to the same story . hmmm somehow Pacs flip flopping doesnt come close to being an official call , all they are doing is just tweaking Pactards because " I,ll take the test is what they wanna hear "
I want it official , clear and concise as to what Pac is agreeing to not the propaganda of the uhmm ahh me no speakda English very good .
It was Floyd that says in a press con and I quote, "I want to fight the best out there and yes Pacquiao you're next."
Come next day Floyd berated a sport journalist when asked about his comment during the press con and I quote, "Don't put words in my mouth, I didn't say Pacquiao is next." So, who's the one flip flopping? To add more of Floyd's bull crap, he himself admitted that he always contradicts himself and will say anything that the fans want to hear just to mislead dumb people like you.
If you don’t believe me there’s a video available out there that says it all.
it was clear to floyd and his team that duckquiao had no intent of mailing them a signed contract. the next logical step was to take a vacation.

When I SEE it, I believe it, but in the mean time I think those statements are given to the press, but NOT agreed on close door negotiations. Sounds like Politics?? Well its coming from a Politician.

The fact is you use your mouth and tongue to weigh Floyd’s dick each time you post. PED test is not an issue anymore it's just a ploy by Floyd and fan boys like you to defend a coward sucker puncher.

I weigh up the facts not the speculation , the true time line of events tell the the truth , if Pac was wanting the PEDS test and Floyd was ducking it I would be all anti Floyd on the subject .
