    ONCE YOU BECOME CHAMP THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE A PROMOTER. They just some greedy ass middle men. A personal business lawyer and assistant can do the same thing once the fighter has gained his own noteriety.

    Question for anyone: Did pac's camp agree to testing up to the fight or what? I can't find anything online saying they did. I just see that they are saying they agree to all demands without saying anything specific about those demands. There was only one demand and why they say "ALL DEMANDS" Makes me feel they could be playing with words.

    Someone please show me where it says they agree to being tested up to 48 hours before the fight. I felt the ball was back in mayweather's court when I heard it a few days ago but when I came to research myself, I couldn't find anything specific. All I find is writers talking as if All Demands means blood testing up to 48hours but nothing from a direct source like arum or pac saying so.

    Not to mention that Arum, by his own admission, never talked to anyone in Floyd's camp about making the fight.

    Are you up to date with anything? Apparently pac agreed to the 14 day cut off that floyd proposed and apparently the purse split was all agreed on aswel.

    I don't remember floyd giving the 14 day cut off again. He took that away prior to the mosley fight in an interview, which he said pac would get no window up to 48 hours prior to the fight. Pac came out right after the mosley fight and said he will do 14 days which mayweather already took off the table weeks before, for not taking it the first time it was offered in the final negotiations from the first fight.

    When did floyd give him the 14 day cut off again? I can't find anything on what pac's camp agreed to anywhere. All I see is the headlines about Pac's camp agreeing to all terms but nothing specific. Someone please show me that the pac camp agreed to be tested up to 48 hours prior to the fight.

    Starting just before his fight with Mosley, Mayweather has consistently said that he would only accept full Olympic style testing ran by USADA. Pacquiao agreed to 14 days AFTER Floyd's fight with Mosley. The 14 day deal has been gone for awhile now.

    I will tell you why this isnt true.
    Arum loves money, and his in this just for the money!
    Pac vs May would of brough him most money and seeing as Pac only has one fight left this would of been his biggest pay day to date...

    But that doesnt mean Arum is no fool and doesnt represent Mannys intrests...hes not going to allow for a Floyd to dictate the terms.

    Pac killed the fight. Being that good sometimes scares potential opponents away.

    The only fighters that Floyd is accused of ducking were/are TOP RANK fighters.

    Shane:The reality here is that it's actually Shane who ducked Floyd all those years ago

    PWilliams:Well a lot of people have avoided PWilliams

    Other than them two though,it's all Margacheato,Cotto and Pacquiao,all TOP RANK fighters.Arum is the common denominator.

    Are you?

    What were FMJ's EXACT words in the post fight with Mosley? USADA testing or NO FIGHT! Why is Pac asking for what he knows WON'T get the fight done?

    Pac doesn't want the fight.:deal

    Especially when you are "that good" AND refuse random drug testing.

    I dont know who's to blame but do find it laughable that people just assume Bob Arum did everything possible to make the fight happen and PBF is the one to blame.

    It is ALWAYS Floyd's fault:

    -- He's scared
    -- He's ducking
    -- Opponent is too old (but still a #1 ranked champion?)
    -- He doesn't want the fight (even though the contract doesn't contain what he asked for.

    It is always on FMJ.
