    Bob Arum: "This fight is absolutely off. That's our position, period, is that we're moving on to Malignaggi."

    "And if Mayweather loses this fight, and all of this money, then he has only one guy to blame, and that's Richard Schaefer. This is not Mayweather. This is Richard Schaefer."

    "But for now, Manny has asked me to move on to Malignaggi."

    Hasn't Malignaggi pretty much accused Pac of being on PED's as well?

    yes he's said pretty much the same thing. I really don't see how pbf is at fualt here, he's not the only one thinking these things about pac. If someone has told you the guy walking towards you to fight has a bat up his sleeve, you'd do right to back off or try find out if he has one, it's a bit late when it's over and your ****ed.

    The problem is their insistent on USADA or no fight. There is no flexibility. They've been presented with numerous alternatives to appease him and their answer is still no.

    There`s a suprise.

    Both men are assholes but Pac obviously wants no part of Mayweather, neither does Roach.

    Pieces of ****, cowards.

    Let me tell you something...The 140lbs Division is one of the most deepest and most talented in all of Boxing.

    Timothy Bradley is a title holder and Battle tested Witter, Campbell, Peterson. Devon Alexander is a title holder and then there is Marcos Maidana.

    But the Name that Arum choses to "throw out his mouth" first...IS PAULIE MALINAGGI????

    If Pacquiao take this fight...HE WILL NEVR BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AMONG "REAL HARDCORE BOXING FANS".

    That is FAR worse then Pavlik backing out of the Paul Williams fight, just to fight the last place finisher on "The Contender".

    Shame on Pacquiao if he fights Malinaggi.

    yeah:yep atleast he hasnt gone to the extent of trying to create a whole new rule for boxing. His accusations can be shrugged off to say the least.

    Mayweather is demanding Olympic-style testing conducted by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, whose inflexible protocol calls for random urine and blood testing throughout training camps, fight week and even the day of the fight, with the ability to test any time, day or night. Both fighters would be subject to the same kind of testing.

    You have to also provide your schedule and where abouts to them. From what I've read there would be a possibility of 18 random (4-6 blood) and (9-12 urine) tests and they can't even guarantee no blood tests during the week of the fight or the day before the fight. They've put out a statement saying they will not compromise their practices for any event.

    Let me ask you this, is this really all necessary? With a fight looming ahead. Both fighters have to do it, but Mayweather doesn't have a clout that he has to clear. If Pacquiao was on HGH (reason for their blood tests) all he has to do is not take it (48 hrs to 1 week in your system) and come back negative.

    Conte pretty much shut those accusations to pieces and he knows a thing or two about beating USADA and illegal PEDs.


    If Pacquiao offered Floyd a fight at 144, both will have to do it, Pacquiao will definitely agree, but would Mayweather?

    Look, brother, save the drama for your momma. If it's good enough for the young Olympic Medalist hopefuls boxing for the gold then it's good enough for two consummate professionals boxing for 40 mil apiece which will be partially made up of dollars from my paycheck and most likely yours and everyone else's on this site as well.

    Pac-Malignaggi would be an absolute joke. Obviously bull****.
