Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Requests Hefty PED Penalty in Mayweather Fight

Yes, i would. It's not that hard to see that Floyd isn't an easy person to negotiate with especially when you're around his level of stardom and PPV draw like Manny is. Like it or not, he has earned the right to make certain demands, but he does tend to go a bit overboard and let his ego get in the way. From what we've learned thus far, both sides have agreed on the date, split, location,etc. If the fight doesn't happen this time around, then we'll definitely find out who is solely responsible.

There are far bigger players who are involved in negotiations than Haymon and Arum. Those guys care more about their reputation and will throw anyone under the bus to save their own asses if they have to. They will not hesitate to say who deserves the blame. The networks have all the leverage and if they are willing to work together, then the fight would've been announced by now or we'd find out riht away who doesn't want it to happen. I just hope that HBO doesn't try to protect team Pacquiao and make up lies for them.

HBO has the leverage to tell Arum to F off and force him to run elsewhere for all of Pacquiao's future fights, but Arum knows he has the second biggest draw in boxing right under his wings and can play hardball with HBO too. Bottom line, if Showtim/ HBO can't come to an agreement, then i hope they will at least be honest enough to be on the same page and release the name of the person or people who is/are responsible.

agreed...if it doesn't happen now, it never will and i hope the networks leak out the reason why it didn't happen...they couldnt deliver the fight, at least give the fans some closure and let us know what really went down

That's not the truth though.

Off course its not the truth , theses Pac fanatics will lie about anything , Manny was offered 14 days and refused , have a listen listen to this BS straight from Mannys mouth .

14 days is too close because we training hard , blood test is unfair advantage because Floyd is bigger than me .

Education my man, education..

Wow, you're one nasty dude. I asked a simple question just to clarify your post and this is the reply I get. It seems you're on a mission to insult everyone, carry on

False.

Floyd wanted up to the day of orginally.

Pacquaio wanted 30.

Floyd compromised to 14 (more than reasonable) and Pacquaio, asked for 24 days. That's where it fell through.

Both sides agreed to enter into mediation on January 7, 2010, in hopes of coming to an agreement on the blood testing issue. Retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein, who successfully resolved a prior dispute between Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, would again act as mediator. Two days later, after hours of negotiating during mediation, Arum declared that the fight was officially off after Mayweather refused to agree to a 24-day cut-off date. Mayweather revealed that he offered a 14-day cut-off date to Team Pacquiao, but it was rejected.

Floyd's original offer was 14 days. After the first negotiations failed, he changed it to they day of the fight.

This is common knowledge and I'm surprised someone like you didn't know this

Mayweather should refuse the demand and sue Pacquiao for defamation.

Pacquiao is ducking this fight hard.

Manny fans are an interesting group. When Manny walks away, it's the other guys fault. If the other guy walks away, it's his fault too. I wonder how jinkee felt when she found out it was her fault Manny was ****ing hookers.
