here it is, loudly. are you trying to act as if the offer from manny pacquiao to take an equally conclusive, better timed blood test directly after the bout is not already on the table? better timed in that it would ensure that both boxers blood levels remain uncompromised for the fight night...if so, there's a name for that... it's called denial. don't keep clinging to the term random. there is nothing random about scheduling a three day window to test pryor to the fight. 2 to 5 days is flat specific. the offer is equally there for floyd to accept or duck.
fact is pac is never againts blood test, he only does not agree on doing it too close to fight night. same as most boxers wont have sex before every fight.
Pacquiao wants set times, Mayweather wants random times. Random is better because it won't allow athletes to properly use the cycles they need to use PEDs effectively. Nobody knows when the test will happen, but the last test will take place at least 48 hours before the fight.
for 4 mil I would have sex beforthe fight...it is a vial of blood 2 days prior...gimme a break...take the test and the fight is on....simple
redefine existing rules on NSAC and the fight is on. if its not in the book, it never exist. make a mayweather commission, with SR running the show, hes trustworthy.
how can arum go from promoting the biggest PPV fight in boxing history, to co-hosting "friday night fights" w/ teddy atlas? i dont get it.
kevin, your arguement is iron clad there. it lacks evidence, reason , or even a point. then your only info utilisation represented on this thread is again to falsly claim that scheduling a window of time to conduct a test is random. if it's random you need, then make it randomly after the fight instead of randomly before. agree to test now and after the match and the fight is made... simple . shoe fits on the other foot too. how about that.
Arum says a lot of stuff. Calm down. Negotiating position. Someone pointed out that if you take and add all of the judges score cards from the Pac/Marquez fights, Pac comes out 1 point ahead. Yet look at the earnings of the two men. Arum has Pac at the top of the boxing world in terms of prestige and money. Sure, Pac did his part, but in todays world that alone is not good enough. So, chill......
Pac is willing to negotiate and that's a sign he's on board. Ihave no ****in clue how people can come on here and bash someone because they aren't doing something extra that your opponent asks of you. Can Pac now ask for 4 oz gloves to be used in the fight and maybe shin kicks? How about we just use MMA rules for this fight since we have begun to change the rules. There's a line to be drawn and Pac is correct in drawing that one. This is making this whole sport look bad over what Floyd Sr. said. The guy knows two things Boxing and Crack. I'm not gonna listen to him on any other subjects and no one else should have, but you know envy, greed, and jealousy are a very terrible thing. Cocaine is a POWERFUL drug.
Exactly. Arum is in no way seriously going to go from Mayweather to Malignaggi. He's just playing his game. I hate Arum but he is good at what he does. He can play this game all day and all night long.
pac is on the time mag cover, has si.com...SI.COM MIND YOU...writers saying he needs to be on building lenght billboards along side lebron james...and is on espn's top 20 male athletes of the decade list. pac is doing fine. that being said, and w/o weighing in one way or another on this whole drug testing business b/c it's pretty much a circus on here right now w/ all that...if a drug test or lack there of ruins this...that's pretty bad
