Bob Arum: "Only way Pac-Mayweather happens is without additional testing"

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Stop talking about Cotto, he agreed with Pacquiao 'cause he wanted to get paid with the biggest check he'll ever earn at that particular time.

Pacquiao and Floyd are using their big names to cash in and also to play the mind games to hype a mega fight between the two. Unfortunately, the fighters you mentioned doesn't have the privilege as of yet to do so.

So now, when you get to a certain status is OK to duck people and make foools out of fans? **** Outta here!!!

For cryin' out loud...

Manny will take additional tests if THE COMMISION wants him to. He won't do it just because a crackhead family wants to play some mind games.

That's a garbage excuse if I've ever heard one.

In relation to Manny's education you could say I'm well educated. I've taken numerous Spanish classes before up to the College level, and I still don't understand the language.

Manny dropped out of school in the 3rd grade and can understand and speak fluent(If a bit raw) English

It would be a garbage excuse-but it is one that these people would use....look at the recent lack of logic...

Nobody is ducking anybody, Floyd and Pacquiao will eventually fight just because too much money is involved.

What I'm trying to say Cotto agreed with the catchweight because he wants to get paid 2 or 3 times as much as his previous purse.

Money talks in boxing homey...

Aren't all fighters on a level playing field if they follow the same commissions rules?

Not if these rules can be exploited (which they have in the past)...

****** into what exactly? What is this? A debate about the issue of performance enhancing drugs involving two of the sport's biggest names? Sorry Dean, I was ****** into that a long time before I began posting here. And if it bothers you that I'm here debating it it's probably because you don't agree with my stance. In fact - whether you care to admit it or not - I'd wager that's EXACTLY why. Cheers.

My point is we can all sit around and argue opinions, or we can gather around and tell both camps to **** off with the bull**** and make it happen. The only ones losing in this is us fans. They don't have to fight each other and can move on making millions of dollars fighting non threats to each other. We saw some of that this past weekend. Pac made millions fighting someone who was too afraid to try.

We should be pointing our fingers at both camps and telling them as fans we deserve better than this. I can see both sides of the argument. I can see both their points of view. Myself as a fan though don't care about their stance. I want to see them fight. They need to make it happen. Both sides are guilty of being stubborn. Both camps are guilty of acting like divas simply to gain some edge that will not benefit the sport or its fans.

All fighters have the same opportunity to exploit those rules. Same as they would with a 14 day cutoff.

Why would I point the finger at the Mayweather camp? For demanding testing that should already have been implemented? For not wanting to get in the ring with some who he (and quite a few others) suspects is a roid junkie? Please. Tell me why.

Edit

And Dean, you've seen me post on here enough to know I'm not some crazed Floyd fan. He lost my vote ages ago. But right is right.
