[Breaking News] (ESPN) Arum Will Try to Get Pacman to Move on Testing

[USADA]

no he wasn't, he's fine with the 'style', i.e. taking blood and piss, just not the timing.

Roach, "We'll pass Olympic Style testing anywhere and anytime"

That was before Pacquiao revealed his fear of needles, susperstitions, and other voodoo magic reasons why he doesn't want to be tested 30 days prior to the fight.

Yall people are exhausting.

Co-sign that!

That was downright desperate.

Nah, that was called being literal. THere is a difference between an offer and an ultimatum. In regards to my personal attacks, don't pretend that you haven't done the same thing.

So now Arum has stated "If that happens, I am sure I can convince Manny" to tighten the testing window.

Tighten up the testing window may or may not be conducive to random testing.

The ball is now in Manny's court.

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.

Because of Manny and Bobs back and forth B.S he should be forced to take random test until he retires. This dude is clearly hiding something. Now all of a sudden Bob is willing to talk to Pacquiao. Come on this guy is a joke and so is his promoter. Lost so much respect it's not even funny anymore. Steroid Pacquiao is his new name. The 7 time champion Lol.

Wow.Arum is throwing Pacquiao under the bus.

You know, you give Arum the benefit of the doubt for not realizing that there was a video floating about proving the inconsistency of his statement.

The bad part was Team Pacquiao not coming forward to correct him on it
immediately when it mattered most.
