    Both are to blame to a certain extent to be honest. I just think its sad and pathetic that people are trying to blame one person just for the sake of disliking him and defending there favorite fighters. That goes for both Manny and Floyd stans, its extremely hard to find somebody with an unbiased and objective view on the situation and the people who have those views left NSB because of all the nonstop spamming that Floyd and Manny stans were doing... and the truth is, instead of doing the smart thing like mangler, reed, etc. did and just leave it, I got drawn into arguments which didn't help things.

    Both are to blame, a 14 day cut off (if true) is extremely reasonable and basically meeting half way cause Manny wanted 30 days and Floyd wanted 0... so Team Pacquiao could of accepted it, but on the other hand Floyd demanding the blood tests in the first place started it, even though I think its a good idea for the sport. Both sides are equally to blame to a certain extent here.

    but honestly I think Arum has been the worst (not Manny), he has handled everything wrong... I mean lying about the judge offering a 24 day cut off and saying Manny accepted it and Floyd didn't... then the judge saying he basically didn't get that involved, also saying that Haymon and Shaeffer begged him which turned out to be a lie according to team Mayweather, it basically makes you wonder what else hes been lying about... I mean for all we know Team Mayweather might have stretched the truth a little bit, but Floyd was extremely patient throughout negotiations and didn't tell the press barely anything... Arum was the one doing it, Floyd only come out and spoke when Arum started spouting bull****. What gets me the most is, I am now wondering why Arum felt the need to lie like that... felt the need to try and jump in first.

    At the end of the day, talking objectively, both are to blame to a certain extent... but this forum really did prove how pro-Pacquiao it really was when as soon as Arum spoke nearly everyone ran with it and started pointing the finger without listening to both sides of the story... at least this might have taught people to not believe the first thing said and to at least listen to what bot sides have to say.

    Once again, sorry for the rant... but thats JMO.

      Hopefully and I am not saying it will or will not... I am saying hopefully, the fight happens later on in the year, but I guess time will tell.

      In one sense, a later date might be smarter anyway... I mean theres only like 8 weeks left to prepare for the fight on March 13th, they had to do some advertising and that... I mean the fight would be huge and sell anyway but they were still pressed for time. If it happens at a later date, there will be more time for both sides to prepare... and more time for promoting and advertising the fight. But obviously... they've got to agree on terms first.

        I know why, because you are a pac stan like the thread starter.
        Have you given the thought that Roach may have said something that really isn't to the liking of Pacquiao himself. You guys should already know that under the pressure of decision making, people do say things that they shouldn't. Manny decides the 24-day cutoff is acceptable and you should concentrated on that and not on Roach's idea. JAT

          He gets tested every time he fights, he passed all of them. There is nothing to hide. The Olympic testing is a Mayweather rule, and a useless one too.

              You're wrong simply because you have no stake in this fight. You are not a fighter and you don't have any knowledge regarding steroids and its use therefore your statement in invalid. In other words, you have flawed reasoning. JAT

                More of a self serving rule than a useless one. If the commission mandated that type of extensive drug testing then their wouldn't even be a discussion. Apparently Floyd thinks he is bigger than boxing.

                      Could possibly be, "NOF".
