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

Check out this video (best take on the controversy on youtube):



This guy and Arum are on the same page AND they both make a fair and perfect sense. If Mayweathers team think the current testing is not sufficient enough, then present there case to the commission.

Roach never wanted this fight in March. HE said it was too soon for a fight with Mayweather.

Bottom line Pac and camp are not trying very hard to get the fight done. Why is it all fights involving Pac are always stalled or under threat at some point....ala Hatton????????????????

[spinika7]

I can actually see that fight happening. Berto doesn't really pose much of a threat to him.

The only problem is that they are good friends. Though that hasn't stopped certain fights before.

the soap opera continues!!!.....this is REALLY some diva **** here.....BOTH dudes need to grow the hell up and work TOGETHER and come up with a compromise.....this is getting ridiculous by the day!!

True story!

Reading this article Arum says they will do what the Nevada commish says. Why not let them decide what to do since the fight is in Vegas anyway......ball is in mayweathers court now.

I wont watch that piece of garbage.

I'd watch it on HBO or Showtime, I guess, but NO WAY would I buy it as a ppv.

Yes! If they want to change the way testing is done, go to the commission and ask for a change (presenting there evidence). Don't just go and put it in a fight contract (the mayweathers don't run boxing).

Hah, the Nevada commission is now somehow THE authority on drug testing, when their program is known to be greatly inferior to the olympic style testing? And the USADA is an outside group with a supposed agenda? The Nevada Commission has an agenda to keep fights in Nevada. If they use a strict testing program, fights will go to another state with lax testing. **** Bob Arum and all these idiots. The reason why McCain was probably refused as a mediator in this dispute is because John McCain is about fighter safety and would have pushed for more testing.

If Pac is superstitious or scared of needles, he needs to get over it. He's going to have $20 million minimum to make him get over it. If he's clean, he should do the testing. If his handlers are telling him not to do it, even though he's clean, he's taking the worst advice in the world.

Thankyou. Thats what i try and tell these fools. They are not interested in stringent testing because they do not want to see any positive tests. It is not in the interest of the sport to have guys testing positive. And Pacs guaranteed 25mil.

Pac won't win any hearts fighting MAlignaggi. HE wants to sue floyd for the insinuation he is on "supplements" BUT is willing to fight Malignaggi who has been very outspoken in his belief Pac is juicing.

If Pac goes for Paulie, Floyd should fight winner of Berto/Mosley. It would destroy Pacs credibility instantly. Also a Floyd/Mosley fight does 1.25-1.5 mill PPV all day. Pac vs Malignaggi, maybe 300K-500K. If their is a chance the fight will happen late 2010 Pacs negotiating stance weakens and floyd will ask for 60/40.

LoL, Mayweather screwed **** now. If he doesn't accept this offer we officially know it was a duck plan. Not that it was hard to see coming, but this will officiate it. Haha, I love how Arum thinks. He's real good at turning the tables. I love how he came out on the Pavlik fight and called Williams out. Now he puts Mayweather's balls on the table. And you know he'll be vocal about it to the world if Mayweather doesn't accept this. See, sometimes it's good to have a strong promoter on your side rather than be "your own promoter".

Question??.....what does Mannys **** taste like???:gay:
