But, I believe Arum tossed the change in venue as a deflection from the real issue about drug testing late ion the game, and not part of negotiations. It wasn't that important to making the fight as some want to believe.

      Possibly. I could care less if it was held in an alley somewhere. Just want to see the fight.

        And by the way your counter on the "Pac fighting the best fighter", wherein I gave you a recap of our qoutes, sVcks...I am just letting you know that.
        'Trying' and 'force' are the keywords... but it's hard to try and force somebody to do something that they want to do. Does Pacquiao want to go through with random testing?

        My stance toward you is he's never missed weight because you're so persistent on the fact that he didn't want to go down to '44, so he won't want to make weight against Pacquiao at a class he's never came in over.

        Also, if you think Pacquiao has fought the best competition post '30, you're lying to yourself.

          Good. How about his story? When's he getting that one straight?

            Manny put weight penalties on both these guys of they went overweight when the commission ALREADY DOES THIS....show me where they have a history of missing weight.
            Pac demands for weight before negotiations = Since Morales fight = consistent

            May demands of steroid test before negotiations= none, nada, zilch = su****ious

              When did Mayweather miss '47? Pacquiao is supposed to be clean, how all fighters should be. Again, Mayweather's taking the same tests he is.

                What was consistent about him asking for a weight penalty to Erik Morales in their "rubber" match?

                  Its funny because alot of Manny fans actually applauded him for rejecting the 14 day offer that was given during the mediation...hilarious.
                  He agreed and other sources have confirmed. Hell, president of HBO said that FLOYD didn't want the fight. But, I'm sure you know better right? And some Floyd fans thought the 14 day offer was fair.. So what? Manny said no because it's insulting to accuse somebody and discredit their legacy based on some convicted criminal crack heads crack dreams.

                  Manny tried to compromise this time around and agree all around.. but Floyd didn't want it. HBO President is the source. It's obvious you'd rather have Floyd have his way then the fight get made.

If TRULY he believes that he lost to Morales because he gave blood too close to the fight and wasn't a 100% then why would he fight the best fighter he would ever face and give blood close to the fight and not be at 100%...it doesn't add up.
                  To make the fight happen and see if drug testing was the real issue. Seems like it may not have been drug testing after all. As said by the president of HBO, Floyd just didn't want the fight and he doesn't know why.

                    So that they won't go over the contracted weight?

                    Simple = make weight, no penalty.

                      Why would he need that for Morales?
