Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs. Pacquiao: Top Rank Makes Final Offer

[xcaret v2]

It appears the Floyd Mayweather Camp is open to a compromise on their demand of random blood testing. “As long as there’s a blood test, as long as there’s a urine test and as long as it’s random, a cutoff date is agreeable to us,” Mayweather’s representative Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions told the LA Times Saturday. Meanwhile, Pacquiao wrote on his blog “I am still willing to Fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. I never said the fight was off or I do not want to fight him. I will fight anyone at anytime and my record and past fights prove that. I have never and will never dodge anyone. These are my specifications for this fight regarding blood testing. I have offered to give a blood sample the day of the announcement of the fight at the press [conference]. I have offered to give a blood sample 30 days before the fight. I am willing to give blood immediately after the fight is over inside my dressing room . I am also willing to give urine tests at anytime any where everyday leading up to the fight. The truth is taking blood out of my body does not seem natural to me and mentally I feel it will weaken me if blood is taken from me just days before the fight. That does not make sense to me why anyone would do that.”

Thankyou. Thats what i try and tell these fools. They are not interested in stringent testing because they do not want to see any positive tests. It is not in the interest of the sport to have guys testing positive. And Pacs guaranteed 25mil.

Actually they don't want to see the testing because they feel its unwarrented, unnecessary and its unfair treatment towards one fighter. BTW somebody might want to warn Floyd that his hand injections is known to make people fail the USADA's tests.

So Mayweather's camp is basically saying they'll agree to what Pac/Roach offered 3 days ago? Only problem is they already rejected that offer so now Top Rank has moved on.

4. Superstitions LOL...... this one really they must have been joking...or must of been lost in translation.....
5. Manny was disrespected and will not then do the test out of principle (yet they looking at Paulie as an option LOL......)

Reading this article Arum says they will do what the Nevada commish says. Why not let them decide what to do since the fight is in Vegas anyway......ball is in mayweathers court now.

As im quite sure legally the Nevada commish can't ask them to do anything more than what there standards already require. Quite sure arum would be aware of this fact.

So Arum is trying to make it look like they want to play ball......but bottom line he, pac, roach etc haven't even stepped on the court yet. Guess where May is???

No there not.....get your info straight.....or as i suspect you are doing stop lying and talking ****. Pac and camp have not agreed to random testing of any kind. They have agreed to blood tests but in essence they will know when the tests are conducted and no testing for 30 days leading in is still there position. It's not a smoking gun.....but it's not good.

I hope they're not serious about Pacquiao vs Malignaggi as a real possibility.

I just hope everything gets worked out so that they can fight.

I hope not either cuz if that fight does happen, boxing will be officialy dead in the mainstream.
