Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao is Still Dead, Says Bob Arum

[deejd]

If this fight is not going to push through, I'd boycott all future GBP promoted fights, Mayweather fights and fights by those trained by Floyd Sr. They started this mess by accusing Pacman and implying that he's taking drugs.

WTF. Mayweather is probably looking for a way out. PacMan agreed to blood testing right after the fight. In my book, that's the best time to do that test.

For Pac fans, do you want these folks to hear you? Let's BOYCOTT!!!

Have fun by yourself, guy.

Now Arum says there are more issues than the drug tests, which is totally opposite of what he said a few days ago. How much more proof do you Pac worshippers need to see that neither Arum nor Pacquaio want this fight and everything they are saying and doing is an excuse to get out of it.

Arum is really rushing this thing to its death.

[Gutz]

This is all Floyd Sr fault and GBP....

[trufightfanatic]

PBF is not looking for a way out.he is ready to sign the contract and hand Manny his a*s

[Championart]

This is all Floyd Sr fault and GBP....

Youre as ****** as your avatar. A blind man can see that Pac, Arum and Roach are trying to find ways to run away from this fight.

WTF does that mean? Why would Schaefer release blatantly false information? That makes no sense.

Well Schaefer said this to ESPN:

Schaefer said those talks are taking place between Bruce Binkow, a high-level Golden Boy executive, and Todd duBoef, the president of Top Rank, Pacquiao's promoter.

"Todd and Bruce are trying to work out the specifics of the cutoff to assure the tests are still effective because we know that 30 days before is not effective," Schaefer said. "At 30 days, we might as well not even do it. We want to figure it out [the cutoff window] and I will give my recommendation to Team Mayweather, and they will be on board. USADA is the most recognized one, but if it's another one, like the Nevada commission, we don't really care. I don't care who performs the tests as long as they are performed. That's our position. If this fight doesn't happen it's not because of Team Mayweather."

Arum's old ass is probably on Vacation and dont know what is going on.

Arum is an idiot. If he's unwilling to make the fight happen he'd be killing Pacquiao's career! There is no one I'd PAY to see Pacquiao fight besides Mayweather, no one! They can't be serious about Paulie, Yuri, or Bradley! It doesn't matter if Pacquiao sues Mayweather SR...he lives in a townhome from what I seen on 24/7. If Pacquiao claims he's clean & Arum is saying if the commission mandates it they'll do it. Then the commission needs to step up to the plate! Make the test a mandate! This is a quarter of a billion dollar fight!!! Pacquiao has accomished feats simular to that of Lance Armstrong and even he was dirty! He owes this test to his country, his family, friends and the sport of boxing! Pacquiao prove you're 100% clean! Take the lil test it's like a teespoon of blood dude! Small price to pay for the amount of money you can make off this fight! If Pacquiao doesn't take the random test I'll never watch him again and will always consider him a cheat because what he's doing is saying he's dirty without verbally saying I'm dirty!

Bob Arum is a vile human being... Manny Pacquiao is a juicer. Top Rank is a stable full of cheaters. Unfortunately, even at 78, I don't see Arum retiring any time soon, so it looks like it will be this way for a while. On the other hand, Richard Schaefer comes across as a genuinely decent guy, and he seems to handle his fighters, clients, and himself with dignity. For as smart as Arum is, he seems so childish, and comes off as very corrupt. When he leaves boxing, I think the sport will inevitably improve.

It seems to me Arum WANTS this fight dead. Pacquiao's camp has been coming up with reasons not to do this from day one, and Mayweather has met their demands every time, no matter how ridiculous.

They wanted March 13, they got March 13
They want a $10 million weight penalty, they got it
They agree to drug tests but with THEIR choice of companies, they got it

I'm sorry, but I can't help but think Pacquiao and Arum are looking for a way out any way they can

They didn't really want this one, they just couldn't trust Mayweather not to be a cnut and screw them on the weight like they did to Marquez. Mayweather also got a 50/50 split, was he really entitled to it as a No.2 challenger with a small fanbase?
