Comments Thread For: Marquez Wanted 50-50 Split, Blood Tests For Pacquiao

[mikemurni]

to be fair compare the same amount of fights...Honestly though outside of Hardcore fans nobody even knew who he was til he beat Barrera....Mayweather has been on big fights on HBO and PPV since 1998

Pac was unknown because he was fighting in Asia (where he became the Asian champ at LW)... And Floyd's big break never really came till he fought DLH.. He was also unknown outside the hardcore boxing circles till 2007..

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told Sports Illustrated that he was approached on Thursday by Top Rank for a trilogy bout between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. A shocking demand was made by Marquez. He requested a 50-50 split on the money with Pacquiao. For a guy chasing a Pacquiao trilogy since their 2008 rematch, Marquez found an amazing way to say "no thank you."

In a move we all expected, Marquez, like Floyd Mayweather Jr., made a demand for random Olympic style drug tests. BoxingScene.com reported on December 24 that Marquez would demand random drug tests for a trilogy bout with Pacquaio.

Schaefer told BoxingScene.com, also last month, that Pacquiao would have to take random blood tests for a fight with any Golden Boy Promotions fighter - and that includes Shane Mosley.

Promoter Gary Shaw predicted this would happen during a December interview with BoxingScene. He said back then - "If he doesn't do the tests with Mayweather, I believe the only fights that Pacquiao will be able to get are with fighters who are with Top Rank. All other promoters are going to want to know that they are fighting on level playing field."

Top Rank CEO Bob Arum told SI that he won't even consider any form of testing that is beyond what a state commission requires for any future fight with Pacquiao. He blames himself for making the mistake of even considering random blood testing during the Pacquiao-Mayweather negotiations. Pacquiao will now face another Joshua Clottey, also with Top Rank, on March 13.

"This is beyond ******," said Arum. "That was my biggest mistake, allowing any of this to happen. I should have said no. We're not revisiting [blood testing]. We're not negotiating with these punks anymore. If Mayweather wants to fight Pacquiao down the road, he will have to go by the testing the state commission asks for. If not, life goes on."

Pac fanboys are the worst. In 09,10 drug testing was considered you being a pu**y
and not wanting to fight. When questions were being asked about Pac "let the commission do there job", now they all flipped the script after Marquez knocked out there god.

Bob seems not to like random testing.

"Let's be very clear on the real issues we differ on. It's not about being tested....It's about who does the testing and the scheduling of the procedures....The major issue related to the testing rests with which independent agency will administer these tests. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) cannot do it because they will not amend its procedures to accommodate the blood testing schedule we have outlined. USADA, under its guidelines, would have the right to administer random blood tests as many times as they want up to weigh-in day and that is ludicrous," Arum explained.
