    Filipino Fans blame Floyd Jr. for Pacquiao fight impasse
    January 6, 2010 19:07:27

    Pacxing fans are blaming Floyd Mayweather Jr. for derailing his March 13 gig with Manny Pacquiao and forcing their camps to undergo mediation to salvage the mega-bout, results of an online poll showed.

    According to 73% of the 9,730 respondents in the Los Angeles Times’ poll “Who do you blame for the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather impasse?" the flamboyant American is at fault in the impasse brought about by his demand for an Olympic-style drug testing.

    The Mayweather camp, suggesting that Pacquiao has been using performance-enhancing drugs, has demanded that the two undergo random, Olympic-style drug testing to be supervised by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

    Pacquiao and his promoter Bob Arum have rejected the idea, but are amenable to do blood and urine testing under a certain period of time and to be handled by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

    The issue got worse when the Pacman sued the Mayweathers and Golden Boy Promotions executives Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer for defamation over the dope insinuations.

    The two fighters’ representatives met for nine hours before a mediator, retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein, on Tuesday in San Diego, California (Wednesday in Manila) but apparently did not reach an agreement yet.

    A gag order has been issued on the two parties but ESPN Deportes’ Jaime Mota quoted one lawyer for Top Rank as saying: “Mediation is still ongoing."

    It was not clear whether the two groups will again meet up Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) for a new round of talks.

    For most fans (at least 7,085 of the voters who answered the poll as of Wednesday 6 p.m., Manila time), though, it wouldn’t have reached this point if not for Mayweather.

    A total of 1,779 voters (18% of the respondents), meanwhile, pinned the blame on Mayweather’s promoters and managers while 615 (6%) pointed to Pacquiao and 251 (3%) tagged Arum at fault.

    One of the respondents, Art C, described Mayweather as too demanding.

    “He wants to impose his own rule into the boxing world... Why not stick into Nevada (Commission) rules? He's into psy war...he wants his opponents to fall into it... Poor Mayweather!!! Come on!... Face Manny Pacquiao inside the ring...," he commented.

    Another respondent, using the moniker el mejico, called Mayweather’s demand as a show of fear of the Filipino ring icon, who comes off a masterful 11th round TKO of Miguel Cotto.

    “He’s a coward. Especially after Pacquiao’s fight with Cotto, (Team Mayweather) thinks of any strategy they could think of to their advantage because there’s no way they could beat Pacman when it comes to true boxing, fist to fist, toe to toe. (Mayweather) knows what he’s doing. In order to retain his undefeated record, he tries to find a way to avoid the fight.

    "But it comes to a point where he has no choice but to choose a loss for the sake of money," he said.

      i say fmj saw how pac slaughtered cotto, a fighter floyd ducked @ 140, and is looking to avoid pac by any means necessary...because he knows he not only could lose, but get stopped...can't imagine any athletic commission giving the go ahead for more stringent drug testing to a camp run by former drug dealers and crackheads...

        If random blood tests is so important why hasn't Schaefer aka "anti-doping advocate" filed for a petition?

                  Then Floyd would be weak too right?? Since its the same testing. Also he isn't dehydrating himself to make weight this time.
