The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

Or maybe these mythical 'Sources' who claim that there was no counter proposal were wrong.

Even if they are accurate, this is the counter proposal right here! The ball is in Pacs court. Frankly I wish they would both man up and get on with it.

 

Come on gents. Floyd is as masterful a manipulator with the media as he is in the ring. Pac and his team have, IMO, giving up on this fight and are moving forward with other fights.

Now of course, IMO, Floyd and his team will come out with all sorts of things. Now that he has pissed the Pac team off enough that won't give him this fight no matter what. and good for them.

Let Pac continue on to Clottey, Mosley, and maybe JMMx3.

Floyd can do Matthew Hatton, Ricky Hatton, and Paulie Malifaggot.

in the end, Pac will be remembered as fighting the top fighters in or around his weight.

 

A cut off date has been Team Mayweather's idea of a compromise for weeks now (funny how some *******s are claiming otherwise).

The only new development was the actual 14 day period - but by definition of "cut off period", people claiming that they thought Mayweather was asking for random testing up to the minute of the fight are just kidding themselves. And trying to get themselves out of looking bad for supporting the wrong side.

This article (on every major website) was from 2 weeks ago, posted numerous times on this forum:

It appears the Floyd Mayweather Camp is open to a compromise on their demand of random blood testing. “As long as there’s a blood test, as long as there’s a urine test and as long as it’s random, a cutoff date is agreeable to us,” Mayweather’s representative Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions told the LA Times Saturday. Meanwhile, Pacquiao wrote on his blog “I am still willing to Fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. I never said the fight was off or I do not want to fight him. I will fight anyone at anytime and my record and past fights prove that. I have never and will never dodge anyone. These are my specifications for this fight regarding blood testing. I have offered to give a blood sample the day of the announcement of the fight at the press [conference]. I have offered to give a blood sample 30 days before the fight. I am willing to give blood immediately after the fight is over inside my dressing room . I am also willing to give urine tests at anytime any where everyday leading up to the fight. The truth is taking blood out of my body does not seem natural to me and mentally I feel it will weaken me if blood is taken from me just days before the fight. That does not make sense to me why anyone would do that.”

As everyone in this thread, including the *******s and fans alike, agree - 14 days is a reasonable cut off period.

Let's now wait on Pac.

Arums response to the 14 day window

 

He's proposing 14 days now. Who gives a **** about a deadline? Pacquiao could agree to the fight right now and still have 3 months preparing, the same as he'd have if he decided to fight Foreman/Malignaggi/Clottey.

 

The mediator came-out today and said both sides rejected numerous proposals....there was no such thing as a "compromise" as arum stated yesterday....he was caught in a bold face lie....and the mediator put out his statement before floyd's today...

Credibilty 1-Floyd....Arum 0

 

:scaredas:

It is looking worse and worse for Pac, moreso than anyone else.

I feel sorry for him that he is associated with a guy like Arum. If he had someone else as his promoter, I don't think it would have turned into such a **** storm.

Sad thing for Manny is, the fight will probaby still go off, and Arum will make more than he would have if he DIDN'T **** up Manny's rep.

Mother****er (Arum, that is).

 

"
Arum told www.insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports that “after the horses leave the barn and they rejected Manny’s 24 days offer he now comes up with the 14 days which is totally unacceptable” although Mayweather, in a statement on ***********.com claimed that “before the mediation my team proposed a 14 day, no blood-testing window leading up to the fight and it was rejected”"

So Arum was happy for 14 days. Now he is saying it is unacceptable. Whether or not Floyds been an idiot through this whole process, both sides have been happy to go 14 days. I genuinely dont see the problem here...

 

Why did Floyd word his statement the way he did, then? Why did he state he made an offer "before" and "now" why won't he state it was made during the mediation?

 

"Why did Floyd word his statement the way he did, then? Why did he state he made an offer "before" and "now" why won't he state it was made during the mediation?"

Does it even matter now? Ive got no idea whos at fault here, they have all come across badly. Either way Floyd has come out and said 14 days, Arum (Who is looking worse by the hour) had previously said 14 days is fine. Sod the mediator, counter proposals etc. Sign off with a 14 day limit and lets have a fight!

 

How do we know it wasn't made before?

We DO know that one proposal for a cut off date made by GBP before the mediation was 10 days... Who's to say that once Pac said no (his favourite word these day, like a spoilt little teenage girl) that Floyd didn't turn around and ask for 14 (making further compromises, showing further evidence of his willingness for this fight).

 

Arum "slammed" the 14 day cut off date... :roflatsch

 

... because he did not counter the proposal during their meeting.

 

What's wrong with offering 14 days before mediation?

 

What's wrong is that it seemed he did not tell the other side. He kept it to himself.
