Comments Thread For: Arum's Plan To Make Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Happen

[LAPete]

In the history of Boxing i have never seen a fighter duck another fighter the way Mayweather is ducking from Manny. Anyone who can't see this simply doesn't want to see it (it's called denial).
Floyd is going down in Boxing History as a Chicken S#*T little sissy who's afraid to get hit.

[Boxing's Truth]

if thats true, then this summer why did Floyd say he was on vacation and Elerbe said no negtiations took place. Its because Manny agreed to all the testing, and they had no valid reason for not taking the fight

The problem my friend is that after the Mosely fight Floyd stated that he'll fight Pac as long as he agree to random blood/urine test with no cut off dates.

And you are correct, Pac and his folks stated that they'll take the tests but with a cut off date.

But really, we can go back and forth about the testing. You can say that the test are BS and I can say that Pac should just do the test with no cut off dates. The man that wants this fight the most should just say F-it and give in.

If Pac really wants to fight Floyd for the fans then go ahead and give in. As long as he doesn't get ripped off with the purse then show the people how bad you want Floyd.

Floyd aint running around yelling saying he wants Pac bad. It's Pac's camp.

That's a good plan, although the alternate plan is just as good.

Wait until both sides come to terms, then make another demand in the last hour, knowing that it's both unreasonable and without merit, and that the other side will balk. Then turn around and offer the appearance that you wanted the fight all along, when in all reality it was merely an exit strategy. Then proceed to get on twitter and tell everyone that you are doing this for the integrity of the sport, when in fact you treat the sport like it's your mistress, while in the very same breathe do everything you can to damage your own personal integrity.

Mayweather is the Randy Moss of boxing.

Nah, that didn't happen.

Both Arum and Roach have publicly confirmed that the OST stipulations were on the table right from the word go.

Freddie actually publicly stated that random blood tests were no problem at all, as long as there was a 3-5 day cutoff.

BTW, how did Mayweather know that the other side would "balk" ?

Shane didn't balk. And here is my real problem..... nobody else has ever "balked" either. I have never heard of ANY athlete, from any sport, "balking" over random drug testing without being instantly labeled a cheat, and sometimes losing World Championship or Olympic medals.

If Mayweather wanted a way out of that fight, do you really think that he would have accepted 50/50? or that silly 10mil per pound demand?

He would have used one of four excuses, and ALL would be better than the one you outlined..... because, Manny could have simply taken the test.

Hopefully this rubbish is sorted by the time an actual negotiation takes place.

If your Manny doll ever get's broken, your mom is gonna have a real messy problem to fix, isn't she?

Let me know if you want to discuss that topic any further. I am getting pretty good at dealing with that "coward" issue, and the example you have quoted is not gonna stand for very long.

Perhaps read the post prior to this one.

That's a good plan. Only problem is.. if Floyd is clear to fight Manny, he'll beat his own mama to stay in jail & avoid Manny.Manny is better off waiting for the bradley,Alexander,Khan,Maidana & Ortiz winner.Forget about Floyd Donald "Duck".It's obvious he scared of Manny. Hahahahahaha!!!!!

[shogun1123]

He should first call Manny and ask Manny will you take random blood tests with no cut off date.


Why waist time calling Floyd until you know what Manny is willing to do.


This is how I know that Bob is up to his old tricks again.

It's clear for anybody to see that Arum doesn't want to make the fight. He wants to make Pac-Mosley next.

12 years from now, when Arum reaches 100 years old, he talks to Mayweather and asks him for the 50th time: "just sign the contract to fight Pacquiao. Please, as my centennial birthday gift." Mayweather, in his mid 40's then, will reply: "I will, as long as drug testing is implemented. I want Pacquiao to be tested for anti cholesterol, anti high blood, and anti arthritis pills. I dont want none of that."

Fight ain't gonna happen. Unless someone in the whole mess gives in.

Brilliant post. however switchsouthpaw like alot of ****smokers on here keepd lying knowingly when they say OST wa slipped in at the 11th hour. It was not. Roach is interviewed and himself brings it up in December, and i quote says "it's no problem". This is fact. This vid is still on youtube, and i know ***ggots like switchsouthpaw have seen it. So the question is why do they keep lying about it???? It was know about from the jump......only after Mayweather accepted 50-50, a 10 mil penalty and both agreed on 147, standard ring, gloves of choice (8 oz) did OST become a deal breaking issue.

[casanova talk]

Manny should act like he dont want to fight mayweather, and watch mayweather come after him, tryna bully him, saying he already signed the contract, that he dont care about the tests no more.. he' just wants to prove to fans who the better boxer is..lol
