Dude I don't look to this board for credibility all I need is the facts. The truth is your making an ass out of yourself on this board with all the BS rhetoric. Most in here now are quoting Pac and his team not some BS thrown out for dumbasses. The fact is Floyd is the more credible, skillful, successful fighter and Manny is on his 6 recently defeated fighter in a row. Only a dumbass would try to make excuses for that. I was watching Pac/Cotto and even Jim Lampley was saying Pac fought a Barrera past his prime so who did Manny really beat if Barrera, Oscar and Hatton were past their primes and Cotto was coming off a recent career changing beatdown?

I'm just saying that is why he want's a 7 day cutoff. So he doesn't get stabbed right before the fight. I also think the testing would be stopped by USADA by about 18 days. I also believe that if negotiations resume then Manny will drop any cutoff demands because he want's the fight. I guess we'll see.Comment

And yes, it is all up to Manny, and I am serious. And you are clearly ******ed.Comment

Manny felt that it could weaken him.. What's your point? Floyd feels that Manny is extraordinary and one-dimensional at the same time.

Amidst all the Sturm und drang of the on then off, on then off Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao super fight negotiations, the most contentious issue on the table, under the table and behind the table has been a consistent one.
The Mayweather side has always maintained that it thinks Pacman is a drug cheater and thus it's one persistent, nonflexible demand was always for totally random drug testing.
If you recall, Pacquiao would only OK a prefight drug test up to 14 days before the fight with the mandatory postbout blood being drawn in their respective lockerrooms immediately thereafter.
The negotiations crashed twice when the hopes of fight fans worldwide were running high and the two sides started spitting at each other again. Even a self-imposed gag order did not get them to the contract stage in the second go-round.
When Pacquiao was in New York a few weeks ago to hype his Nov. 13 bout against Antonio Margarito, he quietly but firmly told me he had aceded to the random testing demand. No ifs, buts and no candy or nuts if you know what I mean.
Pacman made the statement with agent Michael Koncz standing behind him. Koncz did not seek to correct or modify Congressmanny's plain assertion.
On Tuesday, as Oscar de la Hoya visited Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn to plug Golden Boy's new relationship with Barclays Center in that boxing conscious borough, I nearly had a cardiac event when I mentioned what Manny said to GBP CEO Richard Schaefer.
Two or three other scribes were within earshot. I don't know if they were as astounded as I was by Richie Rich's quick response.
I expected a "no comment" or other form of demurral.
I mean, it's
But no such disclaimer or correction was forthcoming. Instead, Schaefer co-signed Pacquiao's statement regarding accepting the at any given time blood testing for drug use.
"If Pacquiao said that, then I'm sure he wouldn't lie about it," Schaefer said without blinking.
It's not Schaefer was intoxicated with truth serum or anything.
But I did not have him across the table, under oath in a deposition or on the witness stand undergoing cross examination.
I inquired about Mayweather and Schaefer took a pass.
"I'm not talking about Mayweather right now," Schaefer snapped.
If boxing fans have any strand of hope for Floyd-Manny to happen in 2011, I say this is it.
Random drug testing is a non-issue now and both sides have said so.
If they can't reset and, Antonio Margarito permitting, then make Floyd-Manny for next May, then I'll be compelled to write a book about their idiocy.
I wonder if can borrow John Kennedy O'Toole's title for his great New Orleans novel.
That's right. "Confederacy of Dunces."

I don't know bro. Pac's team has been all over the place. Hopefully, he'll drop the cutoff demands. But, I don't even think the USADA testing is gonna be the major hang up when the negotiations roll around again. Outside of Pacquaio-Margarito doing in the neighborhood of a million PPV buys, I don't see any logical way Pac's side could demand a 50/50 purse split. And more importantly, there's no way in hel Mayweather would accept 50/50. And the numbers point to Mayweather deserving a bigger share of the purse. So unless Team Pacquaio comes off the 50/50 demand, which they say they won't, I see that being what would cause the fight not to happen next year.
