ESPN First Take discussing Bob Arum's comments.

[dough401]

Would you ever expect anything less from stephen a. Really?

[KickAzz]

Stephen blames Floyd for holding up the fight.

But says Floyd is not afraid.

obviously floyd doesn't want the fight and deserves the blame for the fight not being made. floyd might not fear pac per se, but he definitely fears that he could lose to pac.

[The Nature Boy]

Skip really knows nothing about boxing.

Stephen A. started off strong, but was being too politically correct. The issue has ALWAYS been the testing since Pacquiao walked away from the 1st negotiations. ESPN needs to keep pushing the USADA testing issue, and move away from the Floyd's scared angle, because that only empowers Arum to NOT make the fight and to keep matching Manny with no hopers.

Arum is only using the Mayweather's name now to promote Pacquiao heading into next month, and that should be blatantly obvious now.

Skip really knows nothing about boxing.

Nothing at all. I wonder when the last time he actually watched a fight was.

[junior gong]

They admitted their not even qualified to talk about the drug testing.

Neither are you or any of the other bumsniffing ***** PED experts.

pac has agreed to Olympic style testing. there's nothing there for ESPN to harp on. The only thing left is that floyd doesn't want to fight, and ESPN should keep doing what it's doing, putting pressure on floyd to put up or shut up

well, you said it yourself " the extra testing is the issue...now, why cant floyd just drop that and fight under commision testing like everyone else?...

if it is the issue, get rid of it...simple really!

Your a sewer pig.

You're a dumb ***** bumsniff, a peddler of laughable hokey PED theories and an asshole.

Now Floyd needs to drop the test request after Manny walked away in the 11th hour of negotiations, but yet he keeps saying "testing is not a issue"...SMH

For your sake let's just hope Martinez doesn't get his green MW belt back from Chavez Jr in the 1st quarter of next year, because if Manny keeps playing games Martinez will be defending that strap against Floyd.

Floyd winning the lineal Middleweight Championship > Mayweather/Pacquiao.

Manny needs Floyd more than he thinks...
