    I've remained pretty neutral, although I don't think Pac should have to prove his innonence and take a blood test based on what Floyd and his relatives think. At the same time, I want the fight to be made. There's been some BS excuses like "Scared of needles." But there's been statements about blood testing being not a problem as long as it's not a few days within the fight. Originally it was 30 days, now I hear Roach says 5 days. Arum is saying everything is fine as long as the Nevada does the testing and not the Olympic testing Mayweather wants... Mayweather concedes this. Yet the fight is still dead according to Arum? What am I missing. There seems to be a lot of contradictions and confusion coming out of the Pac/Arum camp. Pac wants to fight so bad. You think this gets solved seeing Floyd give some rope. What is going on?

    Where am I wrong? We aren't talking about right or wrong or what not. We're talking about what Floyd and his people have said. Now Floyd is shaping his agreements to their compromised wants. This doesn't seem to be good enough now. No?

    This is part of negotiations.....mayweather has compromised, now it's time for arum to do the same.....he has changed his story about 3 times now....

    First it was we want only blooding testing before training camp and after the fight....then it was no to the USADA, but yes to NFL, NBA, MLB drug testing....Now it is we will only do random blood testing if the NSAC ask for it....

    Mayweather compromised and backed off his stance of USADA drug testing...now it's up to arum and pacquiao to compromise now...I think they will, or they will have manny's reputation damaged and will look like they ducked mayweather...

    This says it all really. Arum hasn't really been consistent it seems. Pac's side needs to give some leeway at this point or the fight won't be made. And if they do, then those steroids comments seem more and more legitimate. Regardless of whether they're true.

    So what is then? All those other press release statements with Arum talking about them not conceding toward the Olympic testing, but would prefer an NBA, NFL, NHL, or Nevada testing alternative. Were all those press statements about the blood testing not to be done by them, nor to be done too soon not true? I don't think so...

    Is Arum being inconsistent, or has Schaffer lied his way all the way through the negotiations to the press? Or a combination of both? Probably this, but it's getting confusing in Pacland right now. I'm not even sure what the arguments are about at this point if it's not about who does the blood testing. What has the problem been. Too close to the fight? Okay, make them random and not too close to the fight...

    Neutral? Then you use "Leniency" as if Mayweather is willing to forgive Pac? Oh good grief. You bias is all over the thread title FFS. Not that I expect you to see or admit to it. You are a self proclaimed neutral after all.

    it seems like Team Pac is only agreeable to NSAC testing methods. they feel that May is desperate for the fight they are the one now calling the shots.

    Yes, leniency from his ridiculous demands. At least Floyd is moving backwards. But I've just seen mixed messages from Pac's camp. I want the fight to be made. I agree it's nobodies fault at first, really. I didn't think Pac should have to take any tests. But at the same time. Floyd and his team have been at least somewhat consistent. They're giving some rope. Now it's time for Pac and Arum to do the same. Otherwise this fight will never get made, and it will look like Pac is ducking Floyd... AND it will look more suspicious and more legitimate that Pac is taking something illegal.

    Why am I biased? Where is the biased? What are you talking about referring to FFS? Where have I been wrong?

    That's the Nevada State, right? It all seems like one mind****. Negotiations, showmanship, the upper hand and ego. Trying to push and call the shots. Someone clarify what I'm missing or where people have been misinformed.

    Ball is in Pac's Court? They keep agreeing and disagreeing. There quotes and stories are changing. At least Floyd's ridiculous camp have said one thing. Have laid out their wants/demands. And yes, they conceded on who does the testing. Now what's the next move?

    Let's see. Arum gave GBP a deadline of Thurs. GBP was a no go on Thurs. Manny goes public with his intent to sue GBP, and Mayweather camp.

    Now GBP says hold up, we almost got the fight signed just gotta decide one thing!

    Hello, Manny is sueing GBP. What ****** would conclude that he'd litigate and go thru with the fight at the same time?

    Floyd should obviously apologize for accusing Pacquiao of doping, petition the commission to have the testing amped up, and have the fight signed so we can see this damn thing.

    Ah, my mind escaped me and I forgot about the deadline. It's obvious the lawsuit thing helped GBP pull back and concede something. If Manny still sues this is probably going to hurt the fights chances of happening. At this point he has made his point.

    So you're saying you want Manny to sue rather than fight Floyd for 100X more then he would ever win in court.

    From what I gather this is a lie. Not one word from Money and his camp.
