Comments Thread For: Arum: We Would Use WADA For Mayweather-Pacquiao

[edgarg]

Hopefully WADA uses an agent who is accredited in US, when you go on their site one of it agent has had their license revoked in Turkey.If Pacquaiao spend all his time in Philipines prior to the fight and under go the test there, i will be also very su****ious again... money can buy most things in developing world.

If I were you, to avoid early heart trouble, and perhaps stroke, I would lett the Mayweathers worry about it. What's it to you??

[Left2theliver]

So...are there any people on this website who're actually BOXING FANS rather than just Mayweather or Pacquiao fans??

Look at the mess Floyd has created with all this testing crap. Now there's going to be an issue with who administers the test. Why is it that no other boxer on the face of this earth makes such a stink about testing, yet here we have the biggest fight since Ali/Frazier, and Floyd wants to complicate things. Just fight the fkn guy for christ sakes Floyd.

[Mr. Philadel]

if PAC SUPPOSIVLEY AGREED TO ALL THE DEMANDS IN THE SECOND NEGOTIATIONS, THEN WHY WASNT THIS AN ISSUE BACK THEN?

WHY HAS PAC AND ARUM NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH USA REFS AND JUDGES ALL THIS TIME SINCE BEING NEUTRAL IS SUCH A BIG ISSUE?

CAN ANYONE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS WITHOUT NAME CALLING?

ANYHOW I HOPE THE FIGHT CAN BE MADE B4 THESE GUYS ARE OUT OF THEIR PRIMES

You sound pathetic, very.

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. "

Your last couple of sentences only made clear to the readers (if any other than myself plodded through the tiresome diatribe) how nonsensical and unneccessary the rest of it was. You are just taking up valuable space to let us know that you telephoned Koncz.

Well I telephoned my broker, (actually he telephoned me) a much more important person to me than Koncz is to you. IF you did(???) ... who cares?? For what it's worth ,-not that it makes any difference to anything or anyone, I believe Arum knows more about what's going on in MannyP.s mind than anyone else. He is like a father figure to him, and must advise him on many things.

I shudder to think how many posters got headaches trying to read your outpourings. But maybe it's a good thing and night get rid of some.

By the way, I see that I have to explain that I KNOW that it was Ben Thompson who said all this rubbish, but it was YOU who posted it.

Whoever your Ben Thompson many be. The only one I know of was a famous Western Lawkeeper and lightning fast gunman, originally from England.

Floyd has been pretty quiet actually. Most of the headlines are from Arum. Floyds maintained the same stance, "Take the test", all hes said.

If youre referring to the state of the forum, you would have to talk to the pac fans who are against testing.
