When HBO televised "Pacquiao/Hatton 24/7" -- the four-part series that followed the build up to Pacquiao's second-round knockout of Ricky Hatton to win the junior welterweight title in Las Vegas last May -- it aired footage of Pacquiao taking a routine blood test as part of his pre-fight medical exam in Los Angeles.
The blood test was conducted approximately 14 days before the fight; it punches holes in Pacquiao's argument that giving blood inside 30 days of a fight negatively impacts his performance.
Arum was intrigued by the "24/7" scenario. He told Reuters on Monday that he was ready to move away from Mayweather and announce a new opponent on Tuesday for Pacquiao, but that was before the "24/7" scenario was brought to his attention.
" ... I will transmit it [word of Pacquiao's 24/7 test] to Manny once [HBO Sports president] Ross Greenburg establishes the actual date of the test in '24/7' and [the Mayweather camp] makes a proposal based on what Ross has come up with," Arum told ESPN.com from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. "If that happens, I am sure I can convince Manny" to tighten the testing window.
God some of you are morons. If you don't think Bob Arum wants to make this fight and add another truckload of cash to his already enormous pile, you're a damn fool.
What a joke. Did they not know that footage was out there floatng around? Wow Bob is an idiot. Pacquiao just made himself look guilty. He has also made Bob look ******. 14 days lol. He looked so calm in that video. Not like a man scared of needles. This is too much.
