    It's different.

    Roach said "Pacquiao is willing to take any test, we'll pass with flying colors". (All the while, Arum was constantly throwing the 30 day cutoff). Then Roach said "We'll accept if we're given a 5 day window. Pacquiao is weak for 3-4 days after giving blood". Pacquiao since the start said he didn't want to be tested the day of/ the day before the fight. Then weeks later, he says he'll only agree to a 30 day cutoff. They hire a mediator, Manny's side is offered a 24 day cutoff, Mayweather's side offered a 14 day cutoff (Which is halfway), Pacquiao and his camp decline. Roach (On video) says that he agreed to the 14 day cutoff; which is a lie.

    When Pacquiao is asked on ESPN about being offered a 14 day cutoff, his excuse was that he trains very hard during those 14 days. His other excuse was that he was weak after giving blood the day before facing Erik Morales. His recent one is, Mayweather is bigger and so on...

    Now we're hearing he doesn't want to go through with it PERIOD.


    Fixed.

              Would you do it? I know I would not.
              well

              if it was in your contract then you would have no choice

              all we would have to do is not take the job in the first place

              NOT negotiate when we can take the tests like say for example you had a really crazy weekend in Vegas and wanted to wait 30 days before you test but then someone reminds you that you took a test 24 days from your last one so you then say ok to 24 days but never 14

                Arum is full of it
                they already previously suposedly allegedley obviously randomly evidently miraculously damn I cant spell hahaah
                ok really they already agreed to 24 days so they cant say no testing now
                then that only makes them guilty
                take 21 days or stand by the 24 earlier and thats it
                sorry bob you cant say yes then say no
                it wont look good arum

                  10 Million a pound and the tests, both unheard of. Why not just do it on both sides and make the fight.

                    How do you know that's his "opinion"?

                      I'm talking about other people insinuating--I'm talking about Mayweather and Team Mayweather.
