    Lance, Arum claims the USADA isn't neutral because Floyd is American and Pac isn't. Well then under that logic, how could the NSAC be neutral? Mayweather is a Nevada resident. I have no idea why Arum is coming out with this nonsense. Hopefully he's just trying to make the appearence that they're not totally giving in here. As long as they are actually willing to undergo random blood and urine testing, I'm perfectly ok with WADA handling it. I'm just skeptical of this guy. He's thrown plenty of curveballs in the past.

    And members of Floyd's team have said:
    • 100 mill to fight
    • No fight w/ Pac directly after Ortiz
    Point being, stick to the source (Pac) and don't take everything said as so literaly.

    That's bull****. Mayweather himself was asked point blank about this, and he said that he never asked for $100M.

    More bull****, Mayweather himself said he wants to do that fight next if the testing issue can get sorted out.

    I've seen Pac change his stance within the same interview. He's all over the place. You want me to stick to what Pac says, yet you're arguing with me here because I'm skeptical of what Arum is saying. Which is it? Am I supposed to be listenting to Pac himself or Arum?

    That's your logic Reg. As I said, they might feel more comfortable since they've worked with the commisions for years. Not the WADA. Tell me with a straight face that has no logic. Basically, you are just trying to use words said about something else to apply to this situation on the basis of "logic".

    So why stop there reg. Isn't is illogical for pac to even fight in the US since according to the logic you suggestm he doesn't trust the US? :D You can see how ridiculous you can get applying logic anywhere it might loosely fit.

    The only one saying he asked for $100M is Arum. I guess we should believe it because he says so.

    The USADA is a corrupt agency that is kept inside Floyd's backleft pocket.

    WADA is more than fair. Pacquiao isnt American wheras Mayweather is and wants a neutral agency that is regulated by worldwide members. Anyone who argues against this demand does not want to see this fight from happening.

    Lance, how many times has Arum worked with WADA? If the issue is a matter of them being comfortable, how can working with WADA solve that? The fact of the matter is, Arum claims they aren't neutral because they are based in the U.S. If Arum is saying the USADA automatically isn't neutral because one of the participants is U.S based and one isn't, then that same statement would have to be true for the NSAC. That's basic logic. If you don't get that, there's no reason for us to continue.

    This is my point exactly. For them to question the intergrity of the USADA, they would be basically have to be saying they don't trust the U.S. Obviously this isn't the case considering the fight all the time and the U.S and already submit to testing done by a U.S based agency. Again, I'm hoping this is simply a power play, because it makes absolutely no sense for them to claim that the USADA isn't a neutral party.
