http://cbs13.com/wireapsportsca/Floyd.Mayweather.Jr.2.1412017.html Here's what Mayweather says: “Throughout this whole process, I have remained patient, but at this point I am thoroughly disgusted that Pacquiao and his representatives are trying to blame me for the fight not happening when clearly the blame is on them. “First and foremost, not only do I want to fight Manny Pacquiao. I want to whip his punk [rear]. Before the mediation, my team proposed a 14-day, no-blood-testing window leading up to the fight. But it was rejected. I am still proposing the 14-day window, but he is still unwilling to agree to it, even though this is obviously a fair compromise on my part as I wanted the testing to be up until the fight and he wanted a 30-day cut-off. The truth is he just doesn’t want to take the tests. ‘In my opinion, it is Manny Pacquiao and his team who are denying the people a chance to see the biggest fight ever. I know the people will see through their smoke screens and lies. I am ready to fight and sign the contract. Manny needs to stop making his excuses, step up and fight.” Floyd Mayweather Jr. has fired back at Manny Pacquiao, saying the Filipino star's refusal to compromise on drug testing concerns is the reason for the collapse of their prospective bout. Mayweather made his first public comments about the negotiations in a written statement Thursday, one day after Pacquiao promoter Top Rank declared the March 13 bout dead due to an impasse in discussions over drug testing requirements. Mayweather demanded repeated blood testing right up to the day of the fight, while Pacquiao asked for a 30-day cutoff before the bout. Mayweather now says he agreed to a 14-day cutoff compromise, but Pacquiao still won't accept the terms. Mayweather also says he's still ready to sign a deal for the fight.
floyd ****ed this up who gives a **** if manny takes PED;s why dosnt mayweather just take them aswell that would 'even the playing field'
I want to see every mayweather fan who called arum a liar come in here and defend what Mayweather is saying as the truth now.
You can't say 2 weeks is not enough time for Pac's body to recover the 10mL of blood required for a blood test. If anyone is being stubborn, it's on Pac's behalf.

LukeO I don't understand your point. Everyone was saying Mayweather said no without a counter offer, this statement proves Floyd did have a counter offer. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are trying to imply.
