Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Could Return in September, Mayweather Eyed

[Carpe Diem]

“It does not make sense for this to become a commission matter,” Schaefer told Yahoo! Sports. This is a contractual matter. The commission did not decide the weights or the purse split or how the foreign television rights would be sold."

Do you honestly think floyd is going to drop testing after making shane test?? Come on Arum you're talking crazy, if you wanna fight floyd the only thing that stands between you and him is a drug test. All athletes test, no one is above the crew, submit the blood, clear the air, and get beat down like yo father use to!

CHUCKYLEE

Co-sign.. Just wait until each episode of 24/7 airs as OST is presented to the casual cable audience. It will ONLY strenghten Team Mayyweathers position in the eyes of the HBO executives; think of the viewer feedback that HBO will recieve on thier website. IMHO if Floyd wins impressively, even if it UD over Shane then there is NO WAY ON EARTH that the HBO executives allow drug testing to frustrate this massive moneymaker. The demand will simply be too great and random mutual blood testing will have been presented as a reasonable means of quality control to the HBO audience: regular mainstream sports fans.

Those causal sports afficianados who make the hassle of a mega-fight worth while for HBO executives, they have witnessed far too many fallen heroes and disgraced sports icons during recent years. Team Pacquaio will probably get strong-armed into random OST by HBO; isn't the fight is more marketible to cynical casual fans if the highest quality control standards have already been presented on Mayweather/Mosely 24/7?

Huh

drug testing is too intrusive. Manny should not take the test.

NO-- your an idiot and your post is insulting to the sport of boxing-- Get off the thread.

read the second paragraph... schaefer said that Olympic style testing was in the original draft.

yea, that **** was in the contract from the beginning. it was only after everything else had been agreed to, that top rank made a big deal outta this thing.

this **** IS a contractual matter. using the commission excuse, gives arum and camp pacquiao, a way out, and at the same time helps them save face with "some" fans. everybody else sees through it tho.

What is wrong with this person

Pac is not desperate to fight Floyd. He can make the same money fighting Margarito.

Wrong again! He wont make the same money fighting that clown. Just stop it-- your making fool of yourself.

many points have already been brought up but anyway.

#1. Mayweather still has to get by Mosley first. why not wait for that fight outcome first.

#2. I'd like to see that fight date pushed back September, November has been talked about ... why not December for that potential super fight. and besides having the fight with a date of Dec. allows for more time to not only hype up the fight, but sort out this drug testing issue so both parties win

especially considering the kind of money that will be made for the fight, I'd be very surprised/disappointing if an agreement cannot be made between Team Pacquiao + Team Mayweather.

and lastly it sucks to see Margarito, JMM or the Foreman-Cotto winner considered as potential Pacquiao opponents

as Margarito doesn't deserve the fight .. JMM would have to fight at Welter again

and Cotto-Foreman winner would also be a boring fight .. or rematch to a fight Pacquaio took over after 4 rounds.

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum was quoted by the Manila Bulletin as saying that Manny Pacquiao could return as early as September if the right fight is made. Pacquiao's tentative return is for the month of November, but Arum says a September date could happen if the right fight is made. [Click Here To Read More]




Why Bob??? Why??? It's comments like this and the rest of the ****** **** and excuses that really makes me believe PAC IS ABUSING PED's. Team PAc and this filthly old man are a DISGRACE.

Drop tests and fight is green lit????-----> Smacks of guilt!!!!!!

wow, thanks for rehashing something we already know

[Fistic]

arum and team manny are making it harder and harder to beleive he's not on anything.all they talk about is we'll fight...as long as floyd drops the test demands...why is this such a ****ing issue??

At first they denied. Fine, It was something that was never requested before, but at this point, after Mosley agreeing to it and Mosley/Mayweather moving along smoothly, it is very su****ious and laughable. Soon Arum will have no choice to succumb to the new era of boxing-- or retire-- or bless his soul; he might die by then. Either way, things are no looking to good from his perspective.

good post. basically any other fight, besides mayweather-pacquiao, would be a disappointment. i agree, something HAS to give, this **** is too big for the sport....and i think it'll happen in november or december, if it happens. i don't think sept. is a go.

Attention Arum, Roach and Pacquiao: IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THE OLYMPIC STYLE DRUG TESTS PLEASE KEEP MAYWEATHER'S NAME OUTCHO MOUTH!!!!
