    STFU if they did we'd have a fight.

    14 days, 24 days, its not a big difference...

    It's just the difference between making the biggest fight since Hearns vs Leanord!

    WTF is Arum doing, seriously? Now he's saying he "should have had them sign the contract", admitting that he lied earlier when he said they never proposed the 14 limit? It's becoming more and more obvious that NEITHER side ever really wanted this fight and used this whole thing as a convenient way to get out of it. Sickening.

    read the article. It's ****ed up and very poorly written:

    So part one, he's making the point that this was all about concessions for Mayweather and the clear implication that Floyd wouldkeep asking for more whenever he got ground.

    Second he ONLY admits that he made a mistake in trying to handle the demands personally as part of the contract. If the NSAC had mandated it, he would have most likely gone along with it.

    there's the important bit - but he also does not confirm that he knew. In fact, the sentence is so poorly written that it doesn't say anything really, especially when it has "preflight" in there. Certainly the 14 days was never reported anywhere prior to the mediation, certainly not that I've seen.

    What Arum's saying is that he mishandled the negotiation and allowed Floyd a get-out clause (which he took all too willingly). To paraphrase, he should have said (and this is referring to his previous statement from the same article):

    "Floyd, we'll sign the contract, you'll sign the contract, and then we'll take your requirements to the NSAC and we'll abide by any ruling they make of the tests you've requested."

    So, basically the articles just selective editing and a very misleading title.

    I guess Floyd wanted it the day before the fight, Manny at 30 days. Then Manny drops 7 days and Floyd adds 13 days. So you're right, this is on Pac's shoulders now. lol

    He's supposed to be a politician. Even the dumbest politician on the planet won't let others put words in his mouth, it's career suicide.

    There's no way that **** went down without Pacquiao knowing every last detail.

    Bob Arum and Team Pacquiao are to blame for this. They dont want the fight. LOL @ all the Mayweather haters who claimed his 14 day offer was BS and it was never made. Claiming Mayweather was just trying to save face.

    Face it, Bob Arum is shady and will say anything to try and make himself blameless.

    Props to PBF for not backing down. If Pacquiao doesnt want to do a drug test within a reasonable time before the fight then fcuk him.
