Every moment that goes by in this fiasco, I'm agreeing more and more with Arum on this.

Geez, both Arum and GBPs are peices of shyt and the problem with boxing. Schaefer himself said it best a few weeks ago, "If we can't make this fight then we are all a bunch of idiots". How right you are Richard, how right you are.

It's arums fault because he keeps changing his tune. Read my post and then go and ignore the facts.

rooney you lying piece of excrement, Arum is 100% truthful and consistent here. FOLLOW NEVADA like it's always been done not the golden boy henchman Tygart. You are trying to cloud up the truth everyone sees - FRAUD Quuerweather is afraid to get knocked out which would kill his future earnings powers.

Godlen boy knows this and must protect it's boy from career suicide.

BOB ARUM: BLAMES SCHAEFER AND "THAT CREEP OSCAR" FOR POISONING MAYWEATHER-PACQUIAO
By G. Leon

"Our position is really straight forward and there's no way in hell they're not going to accept our position. This has never before happened in boxing, let alone Nevada. Let's leave it to the Nevada Commission and let them take over the governing of the event."

GL: To be clear, if this fight doesn't happen under the full jurisdiction of the NSAC as every fight before it, then it's just not going to happen.

Bob Arum: "Absolutely! Who are we, the fighters to make the rules? We've got a Commission, let them make the rules. If you want to come before the Commission and ask them for additional tests for both fighters, you want to test them going into the ring, in the ring, whatever you want to do, you're the Commission tell us. As far as I'm concerned the Nevada Commission are boxing people. They'll make the rules that will protect the fighters and we'll get all this silly stuff done and over with."

GL: As a boxing guy reading between the lines, it seems to me that you're not so subtly telling the Mayweather camp where they can go and this is what they get for overplaying their hand because they basically had all of their concessions and decided to go public and accuse Manny...

BA: (cutting in) "Exactly. Let's do this the right way. Manny Pacquiao is 100% an honest kid. He's never cheated and virtually every doctor except for this guy from USADA says you can determine everything from urine analysis. People in that organization hate that guy that has been a loudmouth. Ask him how many blood tests there were from 29 days before the Olympics until after the competition was over. YOu know what the answer is? ZERO. If they didn't do any blood tests until after the athlete competed what the hell are they talking about? What are we trying to subject these fighters to?"

GL: And this isn't a position your going to bend on, it's just take it or leave it at this point.

BA: "Absolutely. Not particularly when we found out that in his office Schaefer told Ron Nathanielz that Pacquiao was a cheat, that he was taking drugs and so forth. And his dialogue with this creep from the USADA started in September. We have evidence of that, we have all of the inside stuff. This is a whole campaign on his and that creep Oscar's part to smear Pacquiao because he chose us over them. I'll bet you all the money in the world, I don't know this for a fact, but this whole idea was put in their ear by Schaefer."

GL: For somebody who allowed Todd duBoef to take the lead, you seem to be telling everyone what it is.

BA: "Well, once I saw what was happening, I said to myself, I'm going to get emotional about this, let's see if Todd, who is cooler can salvage this and play along with them. I'll show you the documents, when they put this in the documents, I immediately crossed it out and when we returned our contract to them it didn't include that clause."

GL: Do you think boxing needs better standards for testing?

BA: "I think there should be more pre-fight testing with urine analysis, but our doctors and experts tell us that every single thing that can be picked up in blood, is better picked up in urine analysis. The only reason they do the blood after the guy competes is because they freeze the blood and it stays good for eight years, the urine decomposes after a while. If they want to take blood after the fight, if they want to freeze it fine, who gives a ****? But that's why there's no blood testing until after the competition at the Olympics and that's something this scumbag never said."

GL: What's the Mayweather camp's deadline?

BA: "On Monday we're going to make a deal with Lou and Malignaggi and we're going to put a deal together with the same kind of procedures in place for Manny's next fight, and that'll shut up Malignaggi also. He's been keeping quiet now because he doesn't want to blow a fight, but that's fine. Either way, I'm sure he'll be satisfied."

GL: Considering some of his opinions, some are surprised you chose that direction.

BA: "Everybody is entitled to their opinions, but what the **** is everybody talking about? He was 135 for Diaz, 142 for De La HOya, 138 for Hatton and 143 for Cotto. Where is the difference in weight? He's been virtually the same weight for the last two years."

GL: If Mayweather and Pacquiao is salvaged, are you disappointed at the black cloud that has already been cast above the promotion? Isn't this a black eye on an event that should have been absolutely positive?

BA: "I think you're absolutely right, but I think our litigation will proceed in any event. Our major litigation is against Golden Boy for the promotional rights of Pacquiao and that's about to go bye-bye."

GL: Golden Boy still makes money on Pacquiao fights, yes?

BA: "Yes, but we're going before the arbitrator to get that removed and that's going to cost them millions of dollars. And that includes the profit that they would have gotten from the Cotto fight, which is probably between $1.5-$2M on their end."

GL: Closing thoughts?

BA: "My closing thoughts are, this nonsense has got to stop otherwise Mayweather can pound sand. It's simple as that. We're not going to put up with this nonsense anymore. It's made a farce out of boxing. It's made a farce out of the event and it's been a calculated attempt to smear the name of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather should know better. The only thing I can think of is, he's using this as an excuse to get out of the fight."

That says it all.

just the fact that Arum is out there telling his and Manny's side, and Schaefer is hiding like a rat and not facing the questions, SAYS IT ALL.

Yeah, he was out there telling his and Margocheato's side when that POS got caught with plaster wraps, too. "They're just discriminating against this poor kid because he's Mexican....Blobitty ****in Blah..." Arum's as full of **** as they come. Shaefer too, but to say Bob's any better is a ****ing joke.

u13 · Dec 28, 2009

Interesting read but correct me if I'm wrong didn't Arum say a few weeks ago prior to flying to the Philippines that Mayweather had been reasonable with his demands for the fight and that their was no reason for Pac not to agree to the fight?

I think he meant to say 99% honest.

Imperial1 · Dec 28, 2009

I blame GBP and Team Mayweather for killing this fight based on solid PARANOIA !!!

Hey get ready for Malinaggi Paquio ..Now if Floyd can fight the winner of Mosley Berto I wouldn't mind ..

Nah, it ain't for the simple fact that Schaefer represents Shane. Why would he be looking out for the best interests of his fighters' opponents?

So does that apply to Arum also?

Of course it does, and looking out for their own interests doesn't make either of them any less of a scumbag, so don't even try it.

So there should be no problem turning down the testing request.

Oh wait....

1lehudson · Dec 28, 2009

People dont see that Arum has his own agenda here, and that is to get his promotional fees that he has to split with GBP free and clear. He has no problem doing what ever he can to get what he wants. He is cring about liable this and slander that then he goes out and makes comment like this. The guy is a ****ing snake, busted by the Fed for making payoff and bribes, this man will spare no measures to fool the public and line his pockets. with that being said of course he blames EVERYONE but him and Pac for the fight not happening, after all they put that so demanding blood test in the way of a 100 million dollar fight..No way anyone could put themselves though an awful blood test for a chance to get upwards of 40 million dollars. And there is no way that a fighter could fight another that claims he maybe on roids..OH WAIT isnt Pac going to fight Maggs??? Nevermind:roll:
