Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Won't Make Concessions, Quotes Are Fake

Outlandish? I never said anything was outlandish. I don't think what Floyd asked was outlandish, nor do I think what Pacquiao asked was outlandish. Pacquiao seems to have made more demands than Floyd. Floyd agreed to them. I just can't see the huge issue with blood tests.

Well what was so outrageous about them? Since you mentioned them, they must be out of the norm, correct? Floyd's demand sure wasn't normal...

why! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a Pac fan , but this is lame from him. It also does not remove the belief by many that he is on some sort of substance

If this doesn't happen, we'll all have Alexander-Bradley as consolation

He said after the morales fight that he felt weak after having a test so near to the fight. Of course Mayweather's seen the interview. It's actually the smartest way to get out of the fight without making himself look like a coward!!! I actually don't blame him, Pac's won't lose to this chump!!!!

You can believe that P. Williams ducked Mayweather, if you so choose to...

Pacquiao and Arum did duck Mayweather, They refused to take a random drug test for a $50 million payday and then fought Clottey for $6 million. That basically says it all, and Pacquiao is pathetic saying "Mayweather ducks me" when he refused the drug test, not floyd and I dont buy the bull**** that it weakens him because Floyd has to take the same test. Now he is like "I want a 30 day cut off" which would just totally defeat the objective of random testing. This sounds very suspiscious to me and I do think that Pacquiao has something to hide, Having said that we can't be sure until he takes the test.

People will believe what they want to believe and I proberbly wont change that. However people lie but numbers don't and I think there is a major reason for Pacquiao doing what he is doing. You don't turn down a $50 million drug test if you are clean. I dont care what anyone says.

It's blatantly obvious that Pacquiao is to blame for this fight not happening

I still can't fathom how people are arguing against doping test. It's ming boggling.

Catchweight king and the biggest coward in boxing. Team Pac refuses to fight Floyd and after Saturday I don't blame them. Pac has plent of options yeah and none of those include Mayweather. They aren't ******. They know what time it is.

What are you talking about? I never said anything was outrageous. Why must they be out of the norm because I mentioned them? What Pacquiao asked for was part of a negotiation, same with Floyd. If a fighter can't ask for what they want in a negotiation, then what is the point of a negotiation. They should just set rules for glove sive, purse, weight penalties, testing and everything else by one man and let all fighters earn the same, be tested the same, wear the same gloves and all that other stuff.

There is a first time for everything. I'm confused as to what your point is?

You could spin it and say that Mayweather is willing to stand by a 50 million demand. Come on...

Da heck are you talking about? The issue was made by Floyd. If he thinks he can beat the fighter that beat Cotto, then sign it already!

My point - if there was nothing weird/wrong with what Manny's camp asked for, then why did you mention it? Floyd's demand WAS weird. That's my point. That's like playing out of bounds.
