Mayweather-Pacquiao under "Fair Terms"

[Twako]

Not only is the bolded false, it shows you are out of touch with reality. Dude, you don't even need to be in reality - just check any boxing message board. Yeah, we all care about the fight getting made. Duh. It hasn't been so we're discussing why it hasn't. That's what fans do, talk about the sport non-stop. Every aspect of it. Whether it's where Lebron's going, who may be wooing this player, whatever. Welcome to life.

but in the end, you really wont care. if the fight gets made and one of them gets the edge, does that matter when who whips who's ass?

Would you say seven is fair? What might that three days change?

7 would be fair as well...but as for a middle ground, i think 10 would also be suitable

1) There are doctors who recommended that boxers should not be giving blood within the 14 days of a fight as it can be risky and is unnecessary. So if you can convince them otherwise, then go for full random testing or else 14 days is already going overboard according to the DOCTORS. Plus random urine testing up to the day of the fight.



2) Not even Floyd really cares (believes in) about random testing so why are you pushing this agenda?

[IMDAZED]

the only thing concerning me is the silence from Floyd's camp


if there were details in the contract that they dont agree with, do we know if that's been communicated to GBP and TR? so negotiations can continue and further compromise be made


or is it a matter of 'i dont like it, fight's off' kind of deal?

Well we know what Floyd doesn't like. He said full testing or "we don't got no fight." Maybe there are more? Nevertheless, I'd say the team that sends a proposal and says "you have until this day to decide" is the team with the with the "take it or leave it"-type offer.

I don't agree. If it's full testing and Pacquiao loses, one group of people will claim he may have been weakened. And if it's not, then he was juicing. Back and forth. There's a pretty high likelihood this will be an issue.

I hear you. I chose seven because I thought that was the middle ground between 0 and 14. Doesn't have to be exact but I think halfway is the fairest of them all.

Testing has been fine. Pac has been clean since day one.. No need to change the rules. Fighters have already been caught.

But if Pac were caught prior or admitted to using the PED's then yes, test him.

But all we have today are just Mayweathers speculations but now those speculations are molding into Floyds cop out excuse...

that's the thing...you dont have to wait until the very last day to say you dont like something...i'd rather him point out what he doesn't like and if they dont fix it, then walk...at least dont say 'no, im not fighting' and that be it

I personally would like to have no cut off dates... Me personally reason being I don't want to hear any excuses from Floyd fans if Pac beats Floyd.

But, IMO I think anywhere from 5-10 days cut off date and 50-50 split is fair...

I also think 14 days cut off with 55-45 split in Floyd favor is fair too.

Just my opinion.

[trainhard_187]

Back to the question though. I honestly dont care what testing procedures cause im not a Pac hater or one of them fools who are holding on to that last excuse to why Pac beat up their favorite fighter..

To me, this testing crap is just Floyds cop out excuse not to fight Pac..

Sure I agree with the test when Floyd fought Shane cause Mosely admitted to using PED's...

Just make the fight happen..
