It seems that a final agreement can't be reached. PBF wants olympic testing standards, Pac does not like that blood could be taken away from him just prior to the fight because it could affect him.So, be it. Bottom line is, Mayweather has not fought a real threat for years. If it is not Pac, he should face Paul Williams or the winner of Berto-Mosley next.Just fight somebody worthy Floyd and don't revert to excuses. Not fighting Pac, does not give Floyd the right to face Hatton's brother.Everybody knows what time is it, Floyd must face an elite fighter in his next fight, it does not matter if it is Pac or not.
someone higher than Floyd and Pac should intervene. NSAC. Manny said he will comply if NSAC says so. NSAC says that floyd's camp should have petitioned them for the rules. which is true. rather than bitching about manny the whole time and oscar posting some stupid blog and removed it in the end scared of the repercussions i think there is a glimpse of hope if NSAC intervenes and decide with a cut off date for the blood test that is amenable to both. but it has to be NSAC and not Mayweather Athletic Commission
From todays "The Sun newspaper" And Matthew added: "At first I thought it was a wind-up when my name was mentioned for Mayweather but yes, it's true. Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...tton-ready-for-Floyd-fight.html#ixzz0b9uMVqOH What a joke if this fight happens
Other then Cotto, Mayweather has fought exactly the same opposition then Pacquiao in the last few years (Delahoya, Hatton & JMM). Pacquiao = Great resume Mayweather = Cherry picker :huh
Are you seriously arguing that Floyd should not face a real threat in his next fight?:? Everybody's patience is gone, but yours seemingly is not.
Are you seriously arguing that Pacquiao's recent opposition is better then Floyd's even tho they have virtually fought the exact same opposition? atsch
Void vs. Christy Martin would not surprise me. Pac is exciting, Void is boring. Void should retire or fight a threat.
I read the blood tests only require 10 mL of blood. 15 mL is a tablespoon. I don't see the big deal in losing that amount before a fight. Either this whole conflict is propaganda or Pac has something to hide.
keure - yr arguments are not good pacquiao every time moved up in weight whih is a great achievement whereas mayweather fights smaller guys (except de la hoya which he barely outpointed in a dull and boring fight) so one is taking risks whereas the other one never does - if mayweather wants to be compared to pacquia let him take challenges frm bigger guys such as mosley or paul williams butthis we all know that he will never do also pacquiao is always in great / entertaining / exciting fights - mayweather always in boring / dull fights (how boring was he agnst judah - baldomir - de la hoya) so pacquiao will be remmbered as an all time great whereas mayweather as a good boxer who never took any risks and was never very much appreciated by boxing fans for his boring / defensive style
Will the Mayweathers ask olympic style drug testing from Matthew Hatton? Or from the winner of Berto/Mosley? I highly doubt it. If he doesn't ask for these tests then, it's clear to me that lil Floyd didn't want any part of Pacquiao and looked for a way out. As it stands now, we, the fans, have been robbed of a good fight. I was actually looking forward to it. And imo FMJ is to be blamed more for this than Pac is. Unless Floyd fights someone who is as dangerous as Pac in his next fight (like Paul Williams or Mosley if he looks good beating Berto), I recommend everyone to boicott him. No more cherry-picking please.
pacquiao was coming from a lower weight. pac was not suppose guys like oscar, hatton and cotto just 1.5 years ago. floyd was suppose to fight elite welters but pac had cotto in just his 2nd fight at the weight.
