Do you seriously think Floyd gives a **** about Bob Arum's deadline?
You can't toss Floyd around at the negotiating table, give him an ultimatum such as a drug testing window or a deadline with a countdown and he'll laugh at it. The negotiating table has a name on it: property of Floyd Mayweather Jr. Love it or hate it, but he's businessman no1 in boxing and he gives the ultimatums. But Bob Arum once again made it look like Mayweather's solely responsible for screwing up a fight that never came close due to BOTH sides.
Floyd's main demand was and still is random drug testing, and how it's properly done, take it or leave it, and Pacquiao's side said no thank you & made the home grown Clottey fight in the Cowboys instead. Arum made ****loads of money as the sole promoter and getting the huge site fee, and in the meantime, Floyd took on the Shane Mosley that Pac refused to face even at 140, and dominated the World WW Champ. Do you seriously think he's afraid of Pac?
It is being reported that Pacquaio's side still did NOT agree to random blood/urine testing up to the fight so in reality nothing changed, you can make a countdown all you want and it's still like "President ***** has 10 days to take an arm-wrestle fight and he's a coward if he doesn't" - he's unlikely to show up. And that is Bob Arum's genious: he knows exactly what it takes to make the fight - the proper testing of the Shane fight - and he knows how to give looking-good-to-the-media demands to Floyd who's likely to refuse them, allowing Arum to make the next installment of all-income-to-me Top Rank only fight while the blame is on Floyd. This is the 2nd use of this trick this year.
Maybe Bob Arum likes the idea of Floyd-Pac, but he definitely likes the idea of Pac-Clottey, Pac-Cotto and Pac-Margarito better and what a promotion it is having!
I asked "do you seriously think Floyd gives a **** about Bob Arum's deadline"? Well, the Bobfather knew the answer before he asked the question. It is called a BLUFFING.
