IF this is true (which chances are it's not since the writer seems to be biased) then I don't see anyone you can defend Floyd.

Philboxing is a terribly biased and bad website, there is no truth in that article

I know that *****s are so pissed with arum for exposing floyd. nyahahahahaaha.

What did he expose you dumb****; if the USADA stop testing for blood before18 days before the fight that there decision but there was nothing contract obligated that made them do that genius. Its called a random drug test for a reason not like Manny saying I want to know when there coming.

There is no cut off, it is a random test and it can be at anypoint before the fight.

If this is not true, Bob Arum has possibly killed this fight for the last time.

Whatever happen to not negotiating in the media? Yesterday Pac, today Arum. Either way, this is irrelevant. Even if it is true, it doesn't say anything about Mayweather and Mosley agreed to an 18 day cutoff. Its saying that the last test was taken 18 days before the fight. That's apples and oranges. It really doesn't matter if they took the final test 6 months before the fight, the threat was always there. Scared dawgs do the most barking. And right about now, Team Pacqauio IMO is setting the stage to pull outta the fight, again, and point the finger at Mayweather, again.

Okay everyone, I wrote a comment earlier today about how I believed that Top Rank was trying some PR crap, just to get the fans of Mr. Pacquiao and Mr. Mayweather bickering about the cutoff dates, and look what has happened. This article comes out. Wow.

Look, first of all, Mr. Arum said that he would not use the media as a negotiation channel the next time he sat down with GBP & Team Mayweather. He wanted to be very cautious about that, because "He, Mr. Roach, and Team Pacquiao really wants this fight to happen". Yet, who has been in the media? Ask yourself this. Team Pacquiao, Mr. Roach, and Mr. Arum has. The only time that Team Mayweather has been in the media, has been to give their thoughts on the dominating performance from May 1st. Also Mr. Ellerbe came out in the media last week to shut down the rumors started by Mr. Roach and Mr. Arum, that negotiations had started between the parties last week.

The next thing to look at is the comment about the testing cutoff date that "supposedly" the NSAC has stated ended 18 days before the fight. Ask yourself again this question, on the last episode of 24/7, did USADA show up on Monday of fight week, and Mr. Mosley was packing to go to Vegas? Didn't they have Mr. Mosley to give them a urine sample, and he clearly explained that he was trying to make weight, and he was dehydrated, and he would have rather that they take a blood sample? So again, doesn't the article about the 18 day cutoff sound fishy via Mr. Arum?

The next thing is, the NSAC only take urine samples. They don't do blood test, and that's why USADA was brought in. So again, ask yourself if this article that Mr. Arum quoted in, sounds real? Also, after the fight between Mr. Mayweather and Mr. Mosley, USADA was waiting in the dressing room of Mr. Mayweather to take another blood sample, and that's why he was late for the post conference.

So what it boils down to is this, Mr. Arum, wants Mr. Mayweather to agree to the 14 day cutoff for Mr. Pacquaio, and he is going to put this 18 day stuff out there to get everyone talking and siding with Top Rank and basically have everyone point fingers at Mr. Mayweather if the fight doesn't happen. Well in my opinion, if I was Mr. Mayweather, I would stick to my guns and say no cutoff date. We know for a fact that Mr. Mosley took at least a urine test 5 days before the fight through USADA.

Plus Mr. Mayweather has a guarenteed purse of $20 million, no matter whom the opponent, for the next 5 fights. So if the fight happens, it happens. If it doesn't then Mr. Mayweather will still be in the drivers seat because there are a few PPV fights out there for him. Honestly, how many PPV fights are really out there for Mr. Pacquiao? Ask yourself that.

Everyone have a great evening.

"we wont negotiate in the media"
