Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs. Pacquiao: Top Rank Makes Final Offer

[Cash Cow]

You sound a lot more sure of that than I am. Floyd has shown NO desire to fight the best fighters as of late. Who was the last fighter who had a real chance against Mayweather? Castillo? 7 years ago, the man is here for a paycheck and that is all.

this is why he is so willing to fight Manny Pacquiao right?

Mayweather wont ever fight a true challenge or a true WW but he wants to fight Manny?

January 19th? That long? Jesus

this is bull****, how come Pacquiao's camp doesnt go along with what their best offer was (which was one test before kickoff conference, one test before 30 days are left to fight and one test after the fight)...you know why? cause something is cookin!!!!! mayweather aint no ducker, all he wants are some blood tests and now that he's backed off a little bit, arum thinks he has the nads to start changing **** around. stick to the orginal offer floyd and rip 'em a new one. arums keeps bitching like a pimp who doesnt want his ho's to be getting ****ed every day. but remember all this wouldve never happened had pacquiao simply said "yes" to a simple agreement.

thank you uncle bob. this is the most reasonable **** ever. let the commission what testing needs to be done, not the fighters.

[M.I Truth ?]

Not to mention that as an attorney, Arum knows full well that the NSAC cannot change the testing guidelines for one fight only because that opens up "equal protection" issues under the constitution because the NSAC is in fact a government agency.

Very interesting post. Good info here.

I was never aware of this. You got any type of link you can show me or anything (I aint testing you, I am seriously interested)?

for every second that goes by I grow more and more pissed with Pacquiao and Top Rank, why the **** are you so hell bent against the testing? why take it to this extent? you dont want to give in to an outside group with an agenda but isn't that what you did when you made Cotto defend his belt at 145 with an outside agenda of letting Manny get an extra weight belt, letting your 2 biggest fighters fight it out all to fatten only your pocket since you promote both of them? that isn't an outside group with an agenda? I'm beginning to really dislike Bob Arum..

Pacquiao needs to stop this **** man you'd rather sue and get your millions that way? why not take the tests if that is what is gonna make Floyd comfortable in the fight especially when he made you comfortable already by assuring you 10 Million dollars if he comes in even just 1 pound overweight, he's acting like he has something to hide, I ain't buying the whole pride thing man he's a human and this is a business where ugly things happen, nobody gonna tell me that Pacquiao gonna fight all those other fights for less money and in his biggest fight ever for the most money ever he's going to say no because they have random blood testing? why are you so scared of it being random? why do you need a cutoff period? for what? Floyd doesn't need one and he's the same calibur fighter except better and he's down to fight. the ONLY people looking for a way out of this fight is MAnny Pacquiao and Top Rank as a whole, they are acting like some real **** heads

All Manny needed to do was say yes and this would not be occuring. People in the US have seen this whole thing with baseball, I watched them fight drug testing for years and guys scream to high heaven that they were clean.

That is the current enviroment and if someone is objecting this strongly (threatening lawsuits for asking for testing) I certainly have to question why they feel this way. He can be clean and I hipe he is, but I want him to be tested in the strongest possible manner after this because I want to know, because I certainly don't know he is now.


For the record I do not trust any athlete on this matter and feel any athlete could be using PED even the ones I like.

Why should he say yes? Let say he would of said yes. Took all the test and came out clean. And, then we never ever see another blood test again in boxing. How fair would that have been to Pac? That we singled him out, we pretty much saying you are too damn good, we believe is not natural, take this damn test. And, then we never see a blood test again? I don't see how that is fair to Manny Pacquiao?

im sure there will be more excuses to come...

nothing reasonable about it, he just knows they wont ask for random blood tests thats why hes doing it. since they will go with what he wants.

this offer isnt legit, pac is still backing out cuz he doesnt want to take random blood tests.
