I know the topic has been done to death but I want a general consensus on this board. And I'd like to know what we all think before we hear what happens next. For now, let's stick to the facts. We know that a proposal has been sent to Team Mayweather, possibly with all the terms Floyd wanted, according to Arum. Also, according to Arum, GBP has signed off on the proposal. In February, Mayweather stated that subsequent negotiations would have to include full testing. In May, Pacquiao stated that he would fight under the 14-day cutoff period Mayweather had previously offered. Forget whether Arum has really sent over a testing proposal that both parties have agreed upon...what does NSB believe is a fair? Is it:
Full Testing
Mayweather has stated he would fight under those circumstances only. May be a bluff, may not. His case was made in May (that's a lot of May's) when he defeated the division's other serious threat, with both parties subject to full testing. The 1.4m PPV buys stamped his claim as the sport's biggest moneymaker. He has been agreeable to all other terms and, with his bargaining position, perhaps deserves to have his wish granted? Or no?
Seven Day Cutoff
A compromise between their two positions now. Surely, both parties would have no issue with this? If you feel they might, what are they?
14 Day Cutoff
While this position is dated, it is one Floyd posed before to Pacquiao. Ok, I'll be honest here...I was looking for a solid reason to write why this option was valid and I couldn't find one. I'm not joking :/. If there is a solid poster on this board who chooses this option, please state why. After that first sentence, I was genuinely stumped.
Decision time is Friday. It may come sooner. What sayeth NSB?
