Comments Thread For: Mosley: Margarito Served His Time, He Deserves a License

[Rome-By-Ko]

July 19 - In an interview by Chris Robinson from Examiner.com, Jeff Mayweather said, “He [Pacquiao] agreed to random testing up to 14 days. I never knew that random had a cutoff. So basically if you don’t have a cutoff, it doesn’t mean it’s random at all. That’s why the negotiations went down. It was the same as before.”

“They stopped taking blood 18 days before [Mayweather-Mosley], so that shows that they can do it and be fine,” Arum would tell Lance Pugmire of the LA Times, explaining why he believes 14 days should be sufficient to satisfy Mayweather’s demands. “We’re saying the same thing, that if there’s information that emerges in the final 14 days, we can go to the [state boxing] commission and ask for more tests. We can work it out. No one’s looking to pull any fast ones.”

Pacquiao didn't want to submit to blood tests too close to a fight, his camp said. Pacquiao budged on the issue during these talks, moving from a 24-day cutoff of blood testing to 14 days. But all along the Mayweather camp has been silent.

July 15 - http://fighthype.com/pages/content7987.htmlIt should be noted that despite the fact that Mayweather has insisted on random blood testing up until the day of the fight, Pacquiao has only agreed to a 14-day cutoff for random blood testing.

Good read thanx Dazed...But Pac said he did not want to do testing so close to the fight.I thought May agreed to 14 days before?I hate this,it's so confusing why can't they just fight there is enough money in the pot to take a test or scrap the test..But once again ego ego ego's

And floyd will have still generated more revenue than the good guy. For me its not painting manny as the bad guy, its wondering why he made such a big deal about testing when he didn't have to.

he already provided an answer for that...he doesn't want his experience in the morales fight to happen again. now if you think he's just making an excuse then that's your problem because you can't get over it.

Honestly I wish Manny would have done this from the jump. As a fan of his I felt I got cheated out of Manny vs Mosley and instead got Pacquiao vs Clottey.

Manny wasn't fighting Shane and you know this. That said Manny could've difused this before anything happened. Besides, telling floyd that wouldn't in any way have hurt the credibility of the clottey fight.

So just tell floyd to go **** himself and be done with it. I mean scared of needles, blod test weakens me, 29 days, 24 days, 14 days, etc etc. He could've handled this a lot easier.

Floyd could have end it alot sooner as well by just signing the contract and getting in the ring..

[IMDAZED]

yeah he would rather fight roosters in Puerto Rico than Manny in the ring.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to fight someone juiced up either.

I think any reasonable person knows Pac got outboxed by Morales that night and the blood thing is an excuse. Besides, the blood test situation in the Morales fight is completely different than OST. Besides, Morales (as would floyd) was subjected to the same tests. A simple, NO and the story has no legs.

There was noway in hell Roach was going to let Manny fight Mosley.You have to understand styles makes fights and Roach knew that Mosley style is all wrong for Manny...

It works both ways. Floyd isn't asking to weight drain a fighter, he isn't asking for a paper title, he isn't asking for a catchweight. He's asking for better testing and is willing to do the same. This should not have been an issue. It should've been resolved as quickly as the weight penalty of $10m was resolved.

Who else but a juicer cares about when he'll be tested?

What makes you think that? Manny is and never was afraid of Shane and the fight with Cotto was Arums call in an attempt to keep Miguel from signing with GBP.

I get it just agree to what Manny wants and don't ask him for any stips. When you join the rest of us in the real world let me know.
