They say you should never say never but Bob Arum is ready to say never to a Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather super bout.
An exasperated Arum told me Saturday night he’s made a final offer to the Mayweather team.
At the same time, Mayweather representative Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com that if Pacman does not agree to blood testing closer than 30 days before the fight date, there is no fight. The diplomatic Schaefer then said he would shut his phone off until January 2.
If they accept, Arum said the Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao super bout will proceed as planned on March `13 at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. If not, then Arum said from his Cabo San Lucas working vacation location Mayweather won’t fight Pacqiuao ever.
“Manny will do a blood test, as required, to get his new boxing license in January per the Nevada commission,” Arum said. “Manny will also do another blood test after the fight. End of story.
"If they do not agree to this, then that’s the end for Mayweather as far as Pacquiao is concerned. Then Mayweather will never, never fight Manny.”
Here's what Schaefer told ESPN:
"What we're saying, and what is important to us, is four things -- that the tests be random, that they include blood and urine and the time frame, meaning when do you stop the tests before the fight but know they will still be effective. Three of them we have agreed on -- random, blood and urine. So now it is a matter of the two sides working out the specifics of the cutoff date to assure it will still be effective."
At this time, the Nevada commission does not require any blood testing other than the one required for a new license. The purpose of those tests is to screen for HIV, not for steroids.
Arum then informed me that Schaefer has made some bizarre comments about why blood tests rather than urine tests must be done on the Pinoy Idol.
“Richard said the blood tests can be saved for up to eight years and that, if five years from now they come up with a way to find illegal substances in the blood that they can’t find right now,” Arum said.
“Is that insane? This is a fight in Nevada and it has to be under their rules. They (Schaefer’s company, Golden Boy) have (Shane) Mosley fighting Jan. 30. Mosley has admitted to using illegal steroids. There is no blood testing being done for that fight because it’s not in Nevada’s rules.
“Oscar (de la Hoya) is calling for blood testing on Manny. When was Oscar ever blood tested before or after a fight? I will tell you when he was, never. I have had it with this motherbleeper Schaefer amd with this *****cat Mayweather. Mayweather does not want to fight Manny, it’s obvious,” Arum said.
The promoter said he would wait until Monday of Tuesday but then will move to plug in a substitute opponent for March 13 from his own WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman, the Lou Dibella handled Paulie Malignaggi or junior welterweight champion Tim Bradley (promoted by Gary Shaw).
It’s ironic to note that Malignaggi has continually accused Pacman of cheating with illegal drugs and that Shaw’s son, Jared, has said that the Pinoy Idol’s cheating should be totally exposed.
Like Mayweather and unlike Mosley, Pacman has never been charged with using illegal drugs before any fight.
“If they don’t cut the crap, we will move on,” Arum said. “Let Schaefer shut his phone off, who cares?”
