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

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

I've moved on from this. They will not fight so can boxing move on please. Two egos who don't give a **** about the fans. I blame both fighters.

[Doctor_Tenma]

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.

In the bold, I can't.

Serious question, what excuses does Pacquiao have that are legit?

The fact Gayweather even issued the request without evidence.....but I do give Gayweather credit this was a masterful PR game for them.

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.

As I said early I would not submit myself to testing if it was I who was being singled out. If the sport evolves enough and the testing becomes mandatory for everyone, then so be it. Anyone who does not want to be a part of it then, they can opt out and get a 9 to 5. **** them.

If I was going to be the one playing hardball and decide to throw a slider, I had better make sure I am willing to concede to that demand also. So it is no wonder Floyd is willing to the tests. It still was a heavy demand that Floyd made, but understandable from his viewpoint. It was also an unorthodox demand, but both sides should have met half way and found a solution. Egos do not earn favors from me. Both sides are guilty and if they never fight they can all go to hell in my opinion.

Define evidence in this instance. What would be proof? A bloody syringe?

Lets say you go to work tomorrow. Your boss wants you to submit to random blood testing. Not for any rhyme or reason, just because he has a hunch.

Would you do it? I know I would not.

Ok, that's you. And obviously, you're not Manny since he agreed to testing. Next point?

I swear, people want to make up their OWN excuses for Manny.
