  • People need to be logical and use their brains.
    Shane Mosley had to leave Golden Boy Promotions
    as a fighter to get a fight with Manny Pacquiao.
    That just shows you how bad Arum, Roach and Manny
    wants to make the fight with Mayweather. Arum don't
    even want to deal with Oscar AT ALL. Didn't Arum
    say that he doesn't want Golden Boy as a co promoter
    for a possible Marquez fight? You guys really think
    Arum wants to deal with Golden Boy and Mayweather?
    Arum did one hell of a job trying to make Manny look
    squeaky clean in all this but we still remember this...
    Pacquiao and Mayweather had agreed to unlimited random urine testing, but Mayweather also insisted on random blood testing, even though the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which would oversee the bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, requires only urine testing.

    Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs) didn't want blood testing but later relented and agreed to three blood tests: one during the week of the kickoff news conference, which would have taken place next week, one random test to be conducted no later than 30 days before the fight and a final test in his dressing room after the fight. Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) would be subject to the same testing procedures.

    When they could not come to an agreement, Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, which represents Mayweather, turned to a mediator, retired judge Daniel Weinstein, who had successfully mediated a series of disputes between Top Rank and Golden Boy in 2007.

    But after nine hours in mediation on Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., and further attempts to come to a resolution on Wednesday failed, the fight was pronounced dead by the Pacquiao camp.

    • I think Berto is the most logical followed by Marquez. Mosley is too old and I dont want to see him get hurt.

      • Timothy Bradley at 140 or Sergio Martinez at 154. Berto a distant third. Mosley and Marquez? Only if you're into the Richard Simmons thing.

            • Martinez or JMM are the superfights out there for Pac. The Bradley-Amexander winner would be an interesting match-up. But, the winner of that one isn't as solidified as Martinez or JMM as P4P elites. Berto or Mosley would fall right in line with Clottey and Margarito. Solid, top 10 welterweights. But at this point, I'm tired of the so-called P4P King fighting solid opponents. He needs to fight other elites.

                  Marquez would get destroyed. I can't believe people want to see this. i should've been a promoter.

                    I have little to no interest in seeing Pac fight JMM at this point. But, JMM is a step up from anything Pac did in 2010. Martinez is the obvious choice for Pac. But, that isn't gonna happen. So now, we're either gonna be stuck seeing him fight a second rate welterweight or a superfight with JMM. If I have to choose, I'll take the latter.

                      Naw someone said Pac was only wanting to fight at 147, but I cant filter out the B.S on here. If the fights at WW would you rather see Bradley come up or Pac face Marquez or Mosley?
