    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."

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

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

    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.

    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.
