Guess I'll have to blow your disbelief and speculation out of the water...

Drug test procedures being debated


By Dan Rafael

The Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather welterweight title megafight, tentatively scheduled for March 13 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, is in jeopardy because of the camps' failure to agree on the manner of drug testing for the fight.

In an interview late Tuesday with the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Press, Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum told the newspaper that the fight is off.

According to Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, who is negotiating the deal with Top Rank president Todd duBoef, Pacquiao refuses to have his blood drawn within 30 days of the bout based on his superstition of testing so close to a fight.

"Todd told me that Pacquiao has difficulty with taking blood and doesn't want to do it so close to the fight," Schaefer said. "He, Pacquiao, would only agree to have blood drawn before the kick-off press conference and after the fight."

Two weeks ago, Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, told ESPN.com that their side had no problem with Olympic style testing.

"I have no problem with the testing whatsoever," Roach said then. "They can do whatever kind of drug testing they want. They're scared of Manny and scared of his power. He'll pass any test in the world."


"Team Mayweather is very surprised that an elite athlete like Manny Pacquiao would refuse drug testing procedures which Floyd has already agreed to and have been agreed to by many other top athletes. Why would Pacquiao refuse to have the same kind of testing that Lance Armstrong, Michael Phelps, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant have had?"

"We have agreed on all terms, including the site," Schaefer said.

In addition, Schaefer told ESPN.com that the sides had agreed on an unprecedented penalty if either fighter weighed in heavier than the contract limit of 147 pounds.

"We agreed to $10 million per pound, or fraction thereof," Schaefer said. "That's what the Pacquiao side wanted and we said OK to that. That's unheard of. We have agreed on everything except for this drug testing issue. I have to think Pacquiao is unaware of this. The drug testing had been part of the contract for a while and then they suddenly said no. I was informed of that [Tuesday] morning. Suddenly they changed course and I don't know why."

Pacquiao wanted a huge monetary penalty if Mayweather was overweight because he ignored the contract limit of 144 pounds for his September fight with Juan Manuel Marquez, coming in at 146 pounds and paying a $600,000 penalty for the extra advantage.

You are living in the past kid, you are talking about something that happened centuries ago, this incident you are talking about happened in the first negotiation. Then the second negotiation came and this happened,

Manny Pacquiao: “I feel like I don’t need Mayweather to make my career. I fought the best and anyone willing to face me. I want it, and feel the fans deserve the Mayweather fight. I want to prove to everyone that it wasn’t me who didn’t want the fight. That’s why I made the concession to take anything [blood tests] he wants at any time. Even during the fight before the sixth round if he wanted! What else can I do? I hope we get the fight done soon. Let’s get it on.”



And then Floyd took a VACATION!!! And now that Arum is pursuing Floyd again for a third negotiation, Floyd suddenly wanted 100million for his purse alone!!! WTF is that??!!! Floyd now is not singing his old song titled "OSDT or No Fight" rather it's a newer one that top the billboard chart titled "A Hundred Million Dollars Away"

Personally I think jealousy aside Floyd is really trying to say he thinks it's ridiculous that a foreigner fighter can come to america, and call the shots when it comes to drug testing and basically everything else when it comes to his fights. It's no secret that in all his fights he's he had the advantage. He even wants Marquez to fight him at 147 when we all know he can easily make 140. The fact is Floyd is an elite fighter who can generate lots of money from his fights, Pac can as well. But I'm sure if the fight was in the Phillipines and Pac wanted a drug test and Floyd didn't the phillipines would be on Pac side and I fine it odd as well that people make such a big deal over a test.

[MindBat]

a contract is only valid if both fighters sign it.

Did floyd & pac sign a contract stating there would be OST?

or was that just a request by floyd?


Stop acting ******.

You act as if pac & floyd signed a contract stating there would be OST & pac broke the contract.

You do know what negotiations are right?

One side ask for something, the other does the same. They compromise & meet in the middle & the CONTRACT IS SIGNED.


What are you going on about THE CONTRACT as if YOU YOURSELF HAS SEEN IT.


****ing ****** ass liar.

You are reaching kid, it is clearly stated that Manny made a concession in the interview, it can be through a peeler, letter, email or even twitter, the important thing is he yielded to Floyd's outrageous demand, and that should have started the final negotiation...

I provide facts and you contradict yourself...

This interview were done a day before the Margarito fight and it came from Manny himself. And Manny was referring to the concession that he passed through Ross Greenburg in the 2nd negotiation that was not revealed to the public until now...

Manny Pacquiao: “I feel like I don’t need Mayweather to make my career. I fought the best and anyone willing to face me. I want it, and feel the fans deserve the Mayweather fight. I want to prove to everyone that it wasn’t me who didn’t want the fight. That’s why I made the concession to take anything [blood tests] he wants at any time. Even during the fight before the sixth round if he wanted! What else can I do? I hope we get the fight done soon. Let’s get it on.”



When they said that Manny made the concession, that clearly means that Manny already stamped his signature of approval and is then brought to Floyd's place for a proposal...

And then Floyd took a VACATION!!!

Concession - the act of conceding or yielding, as a right, a privilege, or a point or fact in an argument: He made no concession to caution.

As what stated by these interviews, Manny already made the concession to start another negotiation...

Manny Pacquiao: “I feel like I don’t need Mayweather to make my career. I fought the best and anyone willing to face me. I want it, and feel the fans deserve the Mayweather fight. I want to prove to everyone that it wasn’t me who didn’t want the fight. That’s why I made the concession to take anything [blood tests] he wants at any time. Even during the fight before the sixth round if he wanted! What else can I do? I hope we get the fight done soon. Let’s get it on.”





Listen to him at the 2:15 mark, this interview was done before the Margarito fight...



I don't know how you make your business deals, but in our country we talk, negotiate, compromise if any and then think carefully before we sign any f****ing CONTRACT!!!!

You only prove everyday how much like Team Pacquiao you guys are contradicting each other. I know the game you guys play when presented with facts.

You ain't fooling anyone.

People are on Pac's side because Floyds demands come from a place that is ****** and paranoid and they see right threw it.

[Slick_Rick]

Oh Floydie, you do make me laugh!

So you fight for yourself, but you want the whole of America to get behind you, oook..

I find it hard to understand how anyone can still be defending this guy, he just gave a slap in the face to the fans, maybe that slap will wake them up!

"Floyd Mayweather goes on to make money for Floyd Mayweather. The fans don't come pay my bills, The fans don't put my kids through college, the fans don't put my kids through private school..." - Floyd Mayweather Jr.

I feel sorry for Floyd fans (not *****s). I really do. Man, that was a heart breaking statement.

You saved me the trouble of writing out the quote.

That's one of the most shameful things anyone in entertainment/sports industry can say.

What facts? Do you have a copy of a contract that both Floyd and Pac has signed?

[Mr. President]

Floyd speaking the truth once again.

[Mr. Philadel]

Carmen, Jurko, and Harry from ESPN Chicago talk to Floyd Jr. about his bets until he gets asked about fighting Manny Pacquiao. I edited the audio to go straight to the part about fighting Pacquiao.

Do you agree with Floyd Jr?

Floyd sounds like a lil' b!tch complaining about the love Manny gets in the states...thats lame!!!...BUT he did make a good point about Manny fighting dudes who are coming off of L's and bad outings....he called Manny "media created" and gave GOOD reasons IMO....regardless of what he said, I still don't think he wants that fight....but he's not the only character in this lame movie that doesn't want it....there's many

I still see a lot of jibber jabber from you and no proof of your claim that Manny clearly stamped his signature on anything.

I'm calling you out and you're running circles.

What did i contradict?!! Did you understand what i just wrote??!!! When i said Manny stamped his signature of approval, that means he is standing by his words like a real man when he made his concession about the OSDT and sent it through Floyd's way...
