Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says Floyd Mayweather Jr will be to blame should the planned mega-fight with pound-for-pound king and “Fighter of the Decade” Manny Pacquiao fail to take place. Arum made the statement in an overseas telephone conversation with insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva ports after Pacquiao told boxing writers Nick Giongco and Abac Cordero that he was acceding to the demand of Mayweather for random Olympic-style drug tests 14 days before their planned fight last May 1 provided they don't extract too much blood. Pacquiao had even agreed to allow blood tests to be conducted in his dressing room immediately after the fight to prove he had nothing to hide and that the allegations that he is on performance enhancing drugs without a shred of evidence, had prompted him to file lawsuits against the Mayweathers as well as Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer and owner Oscar De La Hoya. That fight fell through when Pacquiao offered a 24 day cutoff for the blood tests and Mayweather insisted on 14. We also learned that the random blood tests conducted by the US Anti Doping Agency on Mayweather and Mosley prior to their fight were done 18 and 19 days before their May 1 showdown which Mayweather won handily after Moley hurt the undefeated Mayweather in the second round but quickly faded and looked an ageing fighter in the end. Arum said he had learned that the Nevada State Athletic Commission which currently doesn’t conduct blood tests had received the USADA reports under an agreement with Golden Boy Promotions who staged the Mayweather-Mosley fight and that the reports indicated the tests were taken 18 and 19 days before the fight even though Mayweather had insisted on 14 days. Arum noted “by saying 14 days were required by USADA, if this fight (Pacquiao-Mayweather” doesn’t happen clearly there is only one person to blame and that’s Mayweather. These are all excuses” made by him to avoid fighting Pacquiao
How is mayweather to blame. Even if he said 18 days, pac camp didnt want anything less than 24 days. also source please.
random means no cut off dates. it could be 18 days before the fight,it could be 1 day before the fight. that's the whole point.
Random would be if the OST douchebags flipped a coin to decide if they're going to ask for blood on any given day. They don't. Therefore, it is not random.
Exactly, and what benefits would be seen by someone taking HGH, steroids 14days prior to a fight? plus they get tested immediately after, *****s are eating serious crow now.
True. Arum is just spuoting bull**** for those who don't understand. But that doesn't matter here, now anymore. Floyd demanded 14 day cut-off. Pac said no. The fight was off. Now that Pac conceded the 14 day cut-off it is up to Floyd to finally seal the deal.
*****s are so stupid, there would be no benefit to do HGH or steroids for a few weeks and it would show up post fight in the testing, *****s an Gayweather are desperate to avoid being knocked out. When Mosley Knocked out Mayweather in round 2, *****s got knocked out with him in round 2. When Pac retires Gayweather, he retires *****s with him.
Exactly and Floyd just sucks against southpaws He got dropped by JUDAH, CHOP CHOP CORLEY almost killed him. and look how he took a woopin against bum SPADAFORA [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsHzAp6ISDQ&playnext_from=TL&videos=dh75CLl4zmo&feature=sub[/ame] anyway later BULLET TRAIN I need to bounce
Arum once more trying to wiggle his way out of the fight.Manny should just take the test,no one believes all this rubbish of tests weakening him,he just wants to dope or doesnt want the fight. I dont believe Arum anywhere,he's a proven liar
why do people believe anythinf any of them have to say when all of them have lied REPEATEDLY and been caught. Arum: Were not going to negotiate through the media since then in like a 2 day span Pac agrees to 14 days TO THE MEDIA ARUM again trying to prove some more bullshyt about the testing THROUGH THE MEDIA Floyds team has said nothing.....yet
