During the mediations Pacquiao offered 24 days and Mayweather countered with 10 days or less. They were unable to come to an agreement with the gap in proposals. Medations broke down. Afterwards Mayweather had a chance to think and decided that he would still like the fight to happen and came up with a 14 day proposal? Medation is not leagly binding. Just because they could not come up with a soulition than dose not mean that they could not negoicate afterwards. My point is that it dose not matter when Mayweather made the 14 day offer. There is a 14 day offer on the table. 14 days seems like plenty of time for Pacquiao to recover from the blood that he loses.
After a certain point when everyone has walked away from the negotiating table and come back several times, a last minute proposal to salvage the negotiations becomes like the boy who cried wolf.
Who cares if it happened before, during, or after the mediation, Arum needs to stop bitching and convince Team Pac to take the fight with the FAIR 14 day window. If they don't accept now, later Floyd will say Pacquaio had his chance and ducked him. Kinda like what's happening with Mosley.
Pacquiao is ducking, 14 days is more than enough time for a grown man to get over his needle phobia. Especially when Freddy Roach said 5 would be enough. Mayweahter asked for up to the day of the fight, Pacquiao wanted 30, Mayweather split it down the middle with 14, that is more than enough of a compromise by Mayweather. Duckquiao now has a choice, man up or be a little *****.
arum is the one that is ****ing this up. Floyd has been consistent with what he wanted and even offered several concessions such as who would do the testing. Arum keeps changing his tune as to why they dont want it, their only valid argument is that it could make Pac weaker on fight night.... so PBF offered 2 days of no testing but they want to stretch that out to 30 days then 24. Why does Pac need more than 3 weeks of no testing? Really no matter how bad the needle is after a week it isnt going to effect you. They are unable to explain why Pac needs 24 days to recover from a ****ing needle in his arm. I'd say 5-7 days are more than reasonable but they are willing to go up to 14 days so why wont Arum take it? I dont see how in hell a needle will hurt you 2 weeks later. Its all bull****.
The reason 24 days was put on the table is that when Pac asked for 30 days, GBP said that Pac had blood taken 14 days before the Hatton fight therefore he should accept up to 14 days before the PBF fight. It turned out that Pac had blood taken 24 days before the Hatton fight, not 14. So based on that, the mediation deal was made at 24 days.
Now if Pac accepts the 14day, and Floyd still says no and trys to change demands then I would say go **** yourself.
True. But they should DEFINITELY call his bluff, he made that statement on TV. Roach should just say now: ok, then 14 days it is. It's win/win for Pac, they get the fight or make a fool out of Floyd.
