Comments Thread For: Arum: We're Very Open To Mayweather-Pacquiao in '14

[radioraheem]

I can only agree with you with the so-called random testing with no cut-off crap had Mayweather's own tests went beyond 14 days, at least. It turned out that it appeared he's also allergic to blood tests during training and close to the fight. He wanted zero cut-off and then had 19 days in the Mosley, 18 day in the Ortiz, then 16 in the Cotto... wtf is that?

(I already admitted Pacman made a mistake of not calling the Mayweather's testing bluff right away.)

Pacquiao turning 180 is irrelevant because, I repeat, Pacman agreed to unlimited urine and three 3 blood tests. Where is the 180 in that? Entirely irrelevant.

That's why I'm asking you if you have any information at all about the exact procedures these so-called extra testing are. Do you have any info how VADA conducts tests? How about USADA? Boxers request testing. That's all we are informed about. We never bother about the details. Do you?

Mayweather has had absolutely no cut-off dates for his fights. Here is the schedule of random drug testing, blood and urine, for Mayweather vs. Ortiz.

Where did you get your 18-day cut-off man? Keep making up stories though.

bob arum using mayweathers name again to grab some publicity......
pac has just had two loses and now takes on a lightweight and all of a sudden he is in the mix for a mayweather fight ?????
he should be fighting a genuine 147 top fighter and then going for floyd.
this is a cherry pick . period.....

Good post!!!!! He picked the #6th rated JR WW to fight! Cherry pick all day. He could have at least picked zab judahnto fight. But zab is fast has good lateral movement and is "slick" plus he is a decent counter puncher. So roach will not let zab be in the same ring with pac. So they cherry picked little rios.

I love Pacquiao but at this point, to use a football analogy, isn't this a bit like Ronaldinho announcing that he'd still like to sign for Man United?

He turned down a man u contract before? Man that kid used to be so good. Its crazy what injuries do to your abilities as a top athlete.

Mayweather was right Bob Arum and Manny Pacquiao have piggy backed off of his name since day one and they continue to do so. Pacquiao doesn't deserve this fight unless he agrees to all the terms. In 2009 they agreed to 50/50 split but Pacquiao refused because of drug testing fast forward and he agrees to a cut off date of drug testing fast forward some more he loses two fights gets knockout out and he suddenly agrees to testing but still wants 50/50 or 60/40. These are tactics to draw more attention to his sinking career and its really sad to see. He should've taken his ass whipping in 09 when he had any drawing power now its to late.

Also here is the schedule for Cotto-Mayweather...

You'll see clearly that there was no 16-day cut-off man!

STFU Bob, fight will never happen and you already blew your chances besides Floyd is too busy and he'll make his millions w/o Pac. Pac on the other hand should consider leaving TR.

At the end of the day Bradley beat Pacquiao fair and square, re watch that fight with the sound off and no bias commentators. Pacquiao was knocked out fair and square by Marquez and now he's fighting a nobody in Brandon Rios who even someone Like Robert Guerrero would beat. Pacquiao was offered an even split in 09 even though he didn't have the resume that Mayweather possessed all that was asked was random urine and blood testing prior to the fight. He refused, prior to Mayweather being incarcerated he offered the fight to Pacquiao even offering him a flat 40 million and Pacquiao again refused and went on to lose 2 fights in a row. If Manny really wants this fight he has to agree to ALL terms because the fight has lost steam and he's responsible for it.

Mosley had 18 days cut off, Mayweather 19 days. He got 18 day in the Ortiz. He got 15-16 or 14 in the Cotto, but never went beyond 14 days. We have zero info in his last two fights. The pattern is there. This guy will never get tested beyond the 14 days limit. This random crap is fake. Even seven year olds would notice this. Who is he fooling?

[maguirre]

The real bottom line is, "Do you believe Pacquiao is afraid of Mayweather?"
If you believe so then Paqcuiao ducked Mayweather. Be honest with yourselves.

End of story.

End thread....

Fighters are never scared of defensive, boring boxers. They're scared of the Tysons, the Golovkins, the Pacquiao's...

Flat fee? LMAO...you must have lost your mind. Pacquaio is going to earn close to $30 million for fighting Rios...Rios..both coming off losses he off back to back..the only difference PPV # wise between Pacquaio and Mayweather is 100,000 people more buy Floyd's ppv's (Grantland has broken down the numbers) let's just say both mens events make about the same amount of money with a difference of like 4 to 6 million bucks. This shhhh is the most lucrative event for either man...one can't get that payday without the other.

50-50 is so not happening at this point.
