    "If they give me a 5-day window or something like that I have no problem with it," Roach said. "When they've drawn blood from Manny in the past he feels weaker for three or four days. It may be mental, but it's there." - Freddie Roach, not only is he getting his 5days, he's also getting an additional 9days why has he gone back from his original cut off?

        i read they bring it up before and after but never during the mediation, i think if both teams wanted the fight to happen they could have made concession on their last proposals which is only separated by 10 days ...

          I said give Pacs ass a 5 day cut off...Floyd said 14...thats beyond fair....IMO.

          Vote on the poll.

          Props to Chups, 2nPac, Natas and other Pac fans who said 14 Days is fair.
          I believe it's more than fair, there really shouldn't be a cutoff but, I guess Pac had bad experiences from the 05 bout with Morales and doesn't want to take chances. Even if there was a 30 day cutoff, if he was taking something, it would show up in his bloodstream. It would show up in the urine too, how do you think Shamrock keep getting caught?

              The reasons are painfully obvious. The never had any intentions of fighting Floyd

                Bingo.........

                Roach, Arum and Pac know thats an automatic LOSS.

                Then the cash cow is out the window.

                So you put Pac in there with a journeyman like Clottey then the Berto-Mosley winner to milk more money out of him.

                  That's all it is. Keep the money in-house, baby. Arum is not as dumb as some think. You gotta protect your investments.

                    Everyones thoughts?
                    It's obvious that Pretty Boy refused to accept the 24-day cutoff for a suspect reason. Why would he do that?

                    "If Mayweather doesn’t accept Pacquiao’s offer of submitting to unlimited random urinalysis and three blood tests, two before and one after what could become the biggest bout in boxing history, we’ll be forced to presume Mayweather determined sometime during these once-smooth negotiations that he really doesn’t want to fight Pacquiao."


                    "Bob Arum, Pacquiao’s promoter and Mayweather’s promoter-turned-adversary, said Thursday that he suspected all along that Mayweather wouldn’t fight Pacquiao. But before this blood-testing nonsense emerged two weeks ago, Mayweather seemed more than ready to settle this pound-for-pound debate in the ring."


                    "Mayweather’s almost immediate acceptance of a 50-50 purse split surprised everyone involved in the negotiations. It indicated Mayweather, a master matchmaker above all else, didn’t view Pacquiao as a threat to his unblemished record despite Pacquiao’s recent dominance, and that he understood he’d have to accept about a third of what he would earn for facing Pacquiao if he fought someone else."


                    "Whatever his reasons, Mayweather appeared prepared to silence an ever-expanding legion of critics who’ve lambasted him for avoiding the best welterweights in boxing since he moved up from 140 pounds in 2006.
                    Maybe Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) just doesn’t want to fight Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs) in two months. Or maybe, as unfathomable as walking away from a possible $40 million payday might seem, Mayweather won’t ever want to fight the Filipino superstar."


                    "One thing we do know is that if they don’t fight March 13, or even March 20, we must blame Mayweather."


                    "He is the one requesting something extremely out of the ordinary of an opponent who has never tested positive for anything. And don’t discount that Mayweather might’ve made this demand knowing Pacquiao would decline, providing Mayweather with an escape clause." - Keith Idec



                    "Easy work, Easy Fight." - Floyd Jr.
                    Okay, why won't he just accept the 24-day cutoff and fight the Pacman?




                    “First and foremost, not only do I want to fight Manny Pacquiao, I want to whip his [butt],” Mayweather said.


                    Okay, more rhetoric. Again, why won't he just accept the 24-day cutoff and fight the Pacman?

                    In my opinion, Pretty Boy's refusal to end his testing demands and just fight the Pacman after voicing all of his rhetoric seems very su****ious. This indicates a total unwillingness to fight in which the media and fight fans have suspected all along.
