Mayweather - Pac Update. Mayweather Camp Alters Blood Testing.

Thank God, maybe we will actually see this fight now.

 

Roach has already said he's fine with up to 5 days before the fight. 1 straight after the fight too should be sufficient.

 

"Our position is that since the fight would be in Nevada, let (the Mayweather side) make any petition it wants to the commission," Arum said. "We wash our hands of it. If the commission wants to take blood, fine. We don't care. But we're not going to pander to this petty bull---- about how many days before the fight they can test and so forth. Who are they (Golden Boy) to tell Manny what he's supposed to do? How many times did (Golden Boy boss) Oscar De La Hoya ever give blood before a fight? I will not let this kid get pushed around.

Exactly how many times have I said this to all the idiot Floyd fans who are blindly following his word?
You idiots were all over the USADA's nuts, and now that floyd doesn't care about them, you won't either. Pieces of ****.

 

This part is disconcerting though:

Arum's appeal for the commission to handle matters may be hollow because although it has protocols in place for random urine testing during training camps, it doesn't for blood testing, and to put it in place in time for a March 13 fight is unlikely, according to Keith Kizer, the executive director of the Nevada commission.

"We're very confident that urine tests by themselves cover everything that needs to be covered, but if the camps want to do additional testing through a third party they are welcome to, as long as they also adhere to commission rules," Kizer told ESPN.com. "Urine testing we could run with today. We could test their urine every day from now until March 13. But blood testing is trickier because we don't require it. If the commission wanted to change the rule it would have to be at a public meeting and, at the earliest, that would be early-to-mid-January. We have done some urine testing during training camps. We have those protocols in place. Blood testing is a different story.

"We'd have to put it on a commission agenda. Golden Boy or Top Rank or both could ask for blood testing and we'd look into it. Whether it would go anywhere, that's up to the commission to decide. As of now, there are no plans for a special commission meeting, nor has one been a requested from either side."

The promoters and HBO hoped to have the fight signed and ready to formally announce at a news conference the first week of January. If they can't iron out the particulars on blood testing until a commission meeting, likely around Jan. 13, it would make finalizing the bout unlikely until at least then.

 

And Pac clowns say Floyd is scared. What a joke.

 

So true.

 

Seems like things are coming along smoothly. It's good to see both sides are willing to comprimise.

 

luke plaese red what you just poseted its almost a confession on guilt
aloth i dont think mannys on PEDS bob arum shokd not be listenned to , he should be flat out ignored

 

All of that cause of Gayweather. :rofl

 

GBP is probably feeling pressured right about now.

 

Arum's point is my point.
If Floyd really gave a **** about the testing, he would take it up with the commission who administers it. He is basically accusing Manny of using roids, and then backing the accusation up with some outrageous drug tests he wants done.
It has no merit. It's paranoia and it needs to be put in check.

 

Seems like an agreement is close.

 

I don't understand Team Pacquaio. A day or two ago, they said they would be willing to do the blood tests if someone besides the USADA performed it. Now that GBP has agreed, now Arum is saying only the NSAC can do it. However, the NSAC doesn't perform blood tests. This blood testing clause has been in the contract for a while now. I don't understand why Team Pac keeps changing their position on the matter.

 

They will reach an agreement on it somehow and make the fight happen.
I would only start to get concerned when Manny Pacquiao and team decide they don't want blood testing at all.
We'll see what the end result is.
