When HBO televised "Pacquiao/Hatton 24/7" -- the four-part series that followed the build up to Pacquiao's second-round knockout of Ricky Hatton to win the junior welterweight title in Las Vegas last May -- it aired footage of Pacquiao taking a routine blood test as part of his pre-fight medical exam in Los Angeles.
The blood test was conducted approximately 14 days before the fight; it punches holes in Pacquiao's argument that giving blood inside 30 days of a fight negatively impacts his performance.
Arum was intrigued by the "24/7" scenario. He told Reuters on Monday that he was ready to move away from Mayweather and announce a new opponent on Tuesday for Pacquiao, but that was before the "24/7" scenario was brought to his attention.
" ... I will transmit it [word of Pacquiao's 24/7 test] to Manny once [HBO Sports president] Ross Greenburg establishes the actual date of the test in '24/7' and [the Mayweather camp] makes a proposal based on what Ross has come up with," Arum told ESPN.com from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. "If that happens, I am sure I can convince Manny" to tighten the testing window.
The fact is Roach did offer the 5 day cutoff and i did refer to Roach and Manny you jackass. And Roach have and always will speak on Manny's behalf you dumbass. Doesn't matter to me what date it was stated, i was simply proving to you *****s that it was offered.
I read a bunch of places that said Roach said that but I don't know if that was offered to Floyd/GBP. The fight may have already been finalized if it was.
No disrespect. But I've been noticing a lot of new posters here lately.
None taken,
I like both fighters, I supported FMJr against De La Hoya and Corrales, supported Marquez during his fight with Mayweather (even though I knew FMJr would win). Supported Pac on all his fights. More importantly I support Boxing
