Just a few months after praising the Commission and saying that the NSAC should be the only decider of how drug testing is administered, it seems Bob Arum is no longer so fond of the Commission.

"The only person with any balls on that commission is the chairwoman, Pat Lundvall, I mean, that is an absolute outrage not to have voted on this licensing decision. It's just an outrage," said Arum. "Pat Lundvall said it best: This demanded an up or a down vote. So I am totally, totally chagrined at how gutless the members of the commission are. The chairwoman was absolutely correct."

Mayweather fans are laughing their asses off.

Bob was lying a few months ago. Today, he is telling the truth! You shouldn't be surprised that he loved the NSAC when they were doing his bidding, but hates them when they don't! When Mayweather was under his promotion, he thought he was the greatest fighter since Ali. When he left him, Mayweather became a coward.

For six months, the peasants were on every board saying how great the Commission is and how they should make the rules.

now, Bob is saying that they can't be trusted to enforce the rules.

Loves it.

FanHouse: What would it take make a mega fight between Floyd Mayweather should he defeat Shane Mosley, and, Manny Pacquiao if he beats Joshua Clottey?

Bob Arum: First of all, what it would take is that Pacquiao and Mayweather would both have to win. Secondly, we'd have to sit down without any nonsense, and do the fight in a place that makes the most sense, which I believe is The Dallas Cowboys' Stadium.

We could make a real statement for boxing, and we'd set it up like the NBA All-Star game for over a hundred thousand people. That's what we should do. If he starts the nonsense, 'No, he's not going to Texas,' or, starts this nonsense about drug testing, I'm not going to talk to him. The deal's off.

If he wants any particular drug testing, that's an issue that should be addressed by the commission in the state the the bout is held. He is free to petition and ask for any kind of testing that he wishes. But it's something that is to be decided by a lawfully appointed state commission.

Not by one fighter dictating to the other his views on what constitutes adequate testing. That's all commission's issue. It's not a promoter's issue, that's not another fighter's issue, it's a commission issue. All of that has to be dealt with by the applicable state commission.

Promoters screw up enough in promoting a fight that they don't have to be involved in those kinds of issues.

Well, I'll be darned. He could've saved a whooooole lotta time and oxygen if he had just made that statement BEFORE negotiations for the fight started last year.
