Don't hold your breath.

You know it's funny how things work out. When negotiations broke down, Rafael continually stated how Mayweather had introduced OSTs from the start of negotiations. Of course, he was saying that to belittle Floyd as if he was scared from the get-go. Little did he know how those honest words would come back to create a huge hole in Team Pacquiao's story.

While campaigning for political office in the Philippines this week, Manny Pacquiao took a moment to send a message back across the Pacific.

“Yes, I want [Floyd] Mayweather,” Pacquiao is quoted in the Philippine Star telling boxing writer Michael Marley. Pac-man went on to declare if the fight happens he would “attack until Mayweather is gone.”

It sounds all well and good; Manny prepared for fireworks in a super fight with Mayweather.

Of course, a lot of things politicians conjure up sound good. You can say all sorts of stuff that you don’t mean or won’t get done in an effort to appease the voters. In this case Pacquiao is playing politics with the blockbuster fight (or fights) boxing needs.

Read this earlier. Good article. Seems the mainstream sports media is changing its tune. It's a funny thing how writers that don't have Bob Arum come and sit down with them when they are hosting web chats tend to think Manny's camp is shoveling alot of BS!

Manny will be forced to fight at Mayweather's pace anywhere and he will eat that right hand all night.If people like Clottey and Cotto cant miss that big head,you can imagine what an accurate puncher like Floyd will do.If Manny wants the fight he should just take the blood test and get his ass whooped

"A 24-hour window would be more than sufficient for Pacquiao to “recover.” Twenty-four days is a huge gap of time, so big that it renders some of the testing moot. There is plenty of time in the non-testing period to run a sophisticated doping regime and still get it out of the system prior to a post-fight test"

So true. Good read, Thanks
