As long as its positive progression to getting the fight made im all for it.
Ben Thompson thinks different.
"I think if you look at the bigger picture, it's pretty easy to see what's going on here. Bob Arum is simply planting the seed for his next excuse as to why they were unable to make the fight. I mean, just think about it for a minute. The interview with Bob Arum was conducted on Tuesday, and yet, I just spoke to Michael Koncz, Pacquiao's adviser, on Wednesday. I asked point blank, "Is testing still an issue," and he said, "Yeah, well we agreed to, in the past, random testing as long as when we get tested, he gets tested, up to 14 days. We're not going to test on the day of the fight. I'm not going to sit here and tell you yes, we'll agree to do tests that day or not." Now, if Pacquiao's camp had agreed to unlimited random testing, as Bob Arum stated, then why didn't Michael Koncz, the man that's supposed to be closest to Pacquiao, tell me that instead of saying, "Will we give blood 5 days, 7 days before the fight? You know, that's something I have to talk to Manny about". To me, that sounds like Michael Koncz had no knowledge of Bob Arum's revelation that they had agreed to unlimited random testing, and there was never any mention of USADA. My conversation with Michael Koncz was after Bob Arum's interview on Tuesday, so why didn't he mention these concerns about USADA's neutrality to me? Did he just miss the memo? Was that a decision that Bob Arum and Manny Pacquiao came to without seeking the advice of the adviser? Those are some of the "hard-hitting" questions I would love for any one of my "peers" to ask Bob Arum. Myself, I won't even bother because I've seen, on several occasions, how quick Bob Arum can shut someone up and keep it moving when he doesn't want to get into any details. He's pretty good at that; just ask ESPN's Dan Rafael (that's happened a couple of times during conference calls and it's always hilarious to hear). At the end of the day, Bob Arum is going to say whatever he wants to say to give the impression that, yes, they do indeed want to make the fight, but unfortunately, there are far too many obstacles that still stand in the way to make it "fair and sensible" to both sides (obstacles that were allegedly overcome and agreed to last year when they issued the July deadline). To me, it's pretty clear as to which side keeps coming up with excuses, whether they're legitimate or not, as to why this drug testing will be an issue. "Comment
