you're welcome, mateIt seems like most media outlets and polls are blaming him for the fight not coming off pretty much based on the fact that he's asking for a blood test with a fighter that's never tested positive for any banned substances. Coupled with the fact that Pacquiao is willing to take blood test, just not 24 days before the fight AND the fact that the USADA went on record to state that a URINALYSIS was more than sufficient a year ago, the blame has fallen on Floyd no matter what press releases he makes. All this "all Pacquioa has to do is take the test when Floyd wants it and we have a fight" stuff isn't flying with the media and casual public.
In the eyes of the world, the biggest fight in history wasn't made because Floyd was scared. How is Floyd going to alter this perception? Floyd should offer a 20 day window and see if they decline. If they do, it would look bad on Pac's end.

'Lil Floyd is getting really "Bashed" in the media. Not a surprise here. I knew that the "Smear Campaign" instigated by Mayweather and Associates would blow up in their faces. Now Pretty Boy's reluctance to accept the drug testing time table which is fair for both parties shows that he has something to hide due to his unwillingness to just "Accept" and fight. Is the "Cowardice Syndrome" coming into play once again for 'Lil Floyd? It seems so to fans and media alike. And now, the bad press will be relentless on poor Jr. JATIt seems like most media outlets and polls are blaming him for the fight not coming off pretty much based on the fact that he's asking for a blood test with a fighter that's never tested positive for any banned substances.

Idec: Floyd Mayweather Jr. gets blame for debacle

STAFF WRITER
One zero somehow means more to the man nicknamed "Money" than seven zeroes.
That’s the only plausible explanation for why, at least for now, undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao won’t fight March 13 in Las Vegas. There is still some time, of course, for Mayweather to come to his senses and avoid sabotaging boxing’s biggest fight by budging off his unprecedented insistence on Olympic-style drug testing.
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.
Mayweather will sell that Pacquiao is to blame for the fight falling apart should they fail to salvage it over the next few days, which they’d need to do if organizers of this surefire pay-per-view extravaganza are to schedule a press conference for next week in New York and still leave Mayweather and Pacquiao the requisite two months to prepare.
Then Mayweather will try to sell a fight against former junior-welterweight champ Paulie Malignaggi, or another less-threatening opponent than Pacquiao, who might meet junior-middleweight champ Yuri Foreman on March 13 or March 20. Whatever Mayweather’s selling, we shouldn’t buy it.
There’s only one man to blame if Mayweather-Pacquiao doesn’t occur in two months. And it isn’t Manny Pacquiao.

Nothing I've said has been inaccurate.
http://www.************.com/2010/01/...la-times-poll/
By Eric Thomas: In a poll at the Los Angeles Times, Floyd Mayweather Jr. takes a huge amount of the blame for negotiations stalemate with Manny Pacquiao with the boxing fans that have taken part in the poll.
Of the 12, 819 votes that have been submitted in the poll, 9,615, roughly 75% of the voters, think that Mayweather is to blame for the impasse. Whereas with Pacquiao, only 794 (6%) of the voters think he’s the reason for the negotiation troubles.
What’s unknown is where the voters come from. It could be that a link to the article was posted on a popular boxing site frequented by fans of one of the fighters, and this could be a factor for why the results seem so lopsided.
Two fighters are their management teams are currently trying to work out a solution to the stalemate involving random blood testing with mediator Daniel Weintein. Yesterday, they met with Weinstein for nine hours, but there was no word as to whether there was any progress or not in the negotiations.
Pacquiao is open to limited blood testing on three separate occasions, two of which would occur leading up to the fight. However, Mayweather wants the blood testing to be random and continuous all the way up to the March 13th bout.
Both fighters will look to take alternative bouts if the mediator fails to come up with a solution to their problems. Pacquiao may be fighting World Boxing Association light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman, while Mayweather could be fighting Matthew Hatton or some other still to be determined opponent.Comment
