Bert Sugar is spouting nonsense. Manny Pacquiao never agreed to a full random ost schedule in the first 2 negotiations. His team balked at 14 days (that they were able to pressure Floyd down to - that was stupid not to jump on that deal) and then came back and wanted to agree to that condition AFTER Mayweather did random ost with Mosley and AFTER Floyd stated since he and Shane went the full program up to a fight, so must Pac.
Kudos on Floyd Mayweather on the first round of negotiations. Team Pac actually had the fight in their hands and are the ones that ducked.
Now.. all we get is mutual avoidance by both men.
Floyd contradicts himself in the worst way and says 'no Manny' after Ortiz (and is STILL claiming that reports aren't true and Manny still won't do ost up to a fight),
and Team Pac is STILL trying to find a way around random ost by running to the Philippines to avoid being subject to USADA for a full camp. Blame Bob Arum for that one, he made it sound like Team Pac has to hide from them.
and I STILL haven't heard Team Pac or Arum state what they agreed to was full RANDOM testing. Arum keeps barking about 'we agreed to testing' but we know he means involvement through a boxing commission's approved regiment or now WADA - which deferred to USADA as being perfectly suitable as an overseer for tests. And now we find out old man Arum is robbing Manny, so we know we can't trust $#!% he says about the testing and his bias, accusations at USADA.
So we have a stalemate. The media has blown its wad pressuring Floyd and he actually caved one time - and Team Pac walked.
How about they try that $#!% on Manny now, so maybe this avoiding each other crap can stop, because we all know Arum's going to put Manny in with Bradley (who we know got promised a fight by now just like Marg) after Marquez and will again swear he tried to get the super fight done.
Omg it's so f'ing simple, put the heat on Manny and just see if Mayweather's bluffing... finally.
I don't think we'll ever see real contract negotiations again until the sports media does it job.
