Key to super fight could be '24/7' testing

When HBO televised "Pacquiao/Hatton 24/7", it aired footage of Pacquiao taking a routine blood test as part of his pre-fight medical exam. The blood test was conducted approximately 14 days before the fight; it punches holes in Pacquiao's argument that giving blood inside 30 days of a fight negatively impacts his performance.

Although talks had broken down on Sunday, the camps were at least talking again on Monday afternoon after they learned of the "24/7" scenario.

"It's a very good point to point out that Manny was tested so close to the [Hatton] fight," Arum said. "I'm not going to suggest anything to him though, until I hear from the other guys. They have to say, 'This is what Manny did. Here is what we propose.' Then I will bring it to Manny and say, 'Manny, look, you took this test however many days before the fight and it didn't affect you. Hey, you knocked him out in two rounds.'

"What will Manny do? I assume he will listen to me, but I can't promise anything. But I want [Mayweather's camp] to make a formal proposal that this is the outside date for the blood testing based on Manny's prior test in 24/7 and then I will move mountains."

 

Thanks for posting :good

I think the fight will eventually get made.

 

Watch, Leonard Ellerbe is going to say "14 days isn't good enough."

 

good stuff thanks for the info

 

let's hope it helps so we can get back to arguing about the fight itself, instead of if it will happen or not

 

see....Floyd's team ain't said nothin since than and this mutha fu34a already talkin ****

 

thank you '24/7'!!!!! best thing to happen to boxing in this decade in more ways than one!

this fight will be made!!!

 

They've rejected every counter proposal Arum has made. Sorry if I'm not being too optimistic.

 

this fight will happen. too much money to b made. this is a one time oppurtunity for them to make this amount of money in one fight.

 

shows who really wants to see the fight does it not?

 

There is a gawd afterall.

 

Bump!

Although no matter what evidence you present to counter and debunk their baseless claims, these habitual liars do a tremendous job of twisting the facts - but that's what liars do.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl ELABORATE PLEASE!

 

lol I want this fight more then anyone you fool.

I hope Mayweather's camp finally agrees for once, but like I said, they've been so damn adamant about the USADA testing , which by the way, would never agree to a 14 day cut off window. They'd have to use a different agency.

 

It should be random up untill 5 days before the fight. Then no-one can complain at all.
