I think arum realize that there's no chance that floyd will fight pac so why arum will waste his time begging floyd for the fight when floyd has no intention of fighting pac. Let floyd find his opponent with his MAYWEATHER DRUG TEST STANDARD.Comment

More proof they want nothing to do with a slick boxer and is going after ANOTHER shot mexican brawler.According to Dan Antuna of Tijuana newspaper Frontera, Antonio Margarito confirmed his next bout for May 8th in Aguascalientes, MX. After his bid to fight on the March 13th fight card in Dallas, TX, was not solidfied, the “Tijuana Tornado” will still face Carson Jones at the yearly state fair held in that Mexican city.
“The fight in May is confirmed directly from Bob Arum of Top Rank. He also assured me a fight with Manny Pacquiao in November,” Margarito stated.
He also mentioned that he would not be appearing at a hearing to solicit his license from the California State Atlethic Commission.
“Arum recommended me not to go, he said that I complied with teh sanction and they should give me the lincense without attending and audience,” he explained.
Margarito has been training at the Azteca Gym and the Mojac Gym, both in Tijuana.Comment

bob arum also assured Edwin Valero a fight with Pacquiao.
I think this is further proof that Arum just tells guys what they want to hear to make them happy for the time being.
Also, this means Pac has options when the Floyd negotiations begin. Floyd on the other hand doesn't have too many attractive options, so perhaps he'll be more willing to bend this time around. Then again, surely his PPV will do better than Pac's so who knows!Comment

Exactly. This is BS, if Mosley beats Floyd Pac will take him on no problem, Pac's said it, Roach has said it. It's dumb how some people entertain the idea that Pac is ducking anyone. It's just like those bandanas he used wear; No Fear. Pac is mentally one of the toughest guys out there. He has that king kong mentality. He'll fight any welterweight out there. If Floyd will forget this drug testing BS we could see the best fight of this era. Or if he goes to the commission and petitions for random drug testing to be used for the fight, it might happenComment
