May vs Pac(Updated)

its bad enough that this thread is in the wrong section, but quit the racist shit. I only banned the original guy because he was obviously trolling but just because he started it doesnt mean you can finish it. I never ban people but i will, so stfu.

"I think it's over tomorrow and we're going to another opponent if there is no agreement," promoter Bob Arum said. "It looks to me like they want a way out of the fight. Mayweather doesn't want to take a chance of losing."

Arum accused Mayweather of trying to play mind games with Pacquiao, saying that the Filipino sensation has never failed urine tests for performance-enhancing substances.

"They want to put it in Manny's head that they can come in any time and take blood," Arum said. "Manny believes taking blood will weaken him. This is absolutely outrageous. Who does Floyd Mayweather think he is, the commissioner of boxing?"

Mayweather's promoter, Richard Schaefer, said he was willing to try and reach a consensus between the two sides. He cited comments by Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, that Pacquiao would agree to blood tests up to five days before the fight as possible middle ground.

"If we could agree to a 3-day cutoff I would try to sell that to my side," Schaefer said. "If Arum wants to walk away then he is going to be the one responsible for this fight falling apart."

"If they give me a 5-day window or something like that I have no problem with it," Roach said. "When they've drawn blood from Manny in the past he feels weaker for three or four days. It may be mental, but it's there."

either way who cares. if mayweather isnt trippin about getting blood drawn within 48 hours of the fight why is manny?

They are jsut hyping it up thats all. Nothing to see here folks move along.

The fight is on again.. lol www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/dec/23/manny-pacquiao-floyd-mayweather-drug-testing

Arum's first reaction to the ultimatum was: "As far as I'm concerned, the fight is off." Within hours he had offered a compromise deal, one that Mayweather would be foolish to reject unless he wants to scupper a fight that could generate as much as $200m. "Manny will submit to as many random urine tests as requested," said Arum, who wants the testers used in the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball. "Regarding the blood tests, he will subject himself to three tests, one given in January during the week the fight is formally announced, one 30 days from the fight, no later than 13 February, and the final one immediately following the fight, in Manny's locker room."

Manny Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, says the Filipino hero's planned welterweight mega-fight against unbeaten US star Floyd Mayweather is off because the sides cannot agree on drug testing.

Arum told the Grand Rapids Press, Mayweather's hometown newspaper, that he thought the American never really wanted to fight "Pac-Man", who took his pound-for-pound throne during a retirement that Mayweather ended in September.

"Were going in a different direction," Arum told the newspaper. "What I believe is that Floyd never really wanted the fight and this is just harassment of Pacquiao.

"Floyd, to me, is a coward and he has always been a coward. Not a physical coward, but a coward because hes afraid to face somebody who could beat him. And believe me, Manny Pacquiao could beat him.

"So he will go his way, we will go our way and that will be fine."

The last stumbling block after all other negotiations had been completed was on Mayweather's request for World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) doping test procedures rather than those commonly used at fights in Las Vegas.

"I have already agreed to the testing and it is a shame that he is not willing to do the same," Mayweather said. "It leaves me with great doubt as to the level of fairness I would be facing in the ring that night."

At issue is blood testing. Mayweather wants testing close to the fight as well as after, which became a deal-breaker for Pacquiao that has wiped out what could have been the biggest moneymaker of a fight in boxing history.

"We appeased Mayweather by agreeing to a urine analysis at any time and blood testing before the press conference and after the fight," Arum told the Press.

"Mayweather pressed for blood testing even up to the weigh-in. He knew that Manny gets freaked out when his blood gets taken and feels that it weakens him. This is just harassment and to me just signaled that he didnt want the fight."

In a statement Wednesday, Arum said Pacquiao agreed to random urine tests at any time and blood tests at a pre-fight news conference in two weeks in New York, another 30 days before the fight and one after the planned March 13 bout.

"Its not about being tested," Arum said. "Its about who does the testing and the scheduling of the procedures. Manny will submit to as many random urine tests as requested."

What Pacquiao does not want to open himself up for are possible numerous random blood tests in the days before the fight, Arum said, indicating the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) will not administer tests outside its own rules.

"USADA, under its guidelines, would have the right to administer random blood tests as many times as they want up to weigh-in day and that's ludicrous," Arum said.

Arum said any of the independent agencies that test US team sport leagues, which are not governed by WADA rules, could easily handle the tests as Pacquiao wishes and allow the fight to be staged.

"If Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions are sincere in creating 'a level playing field' as they stated in their release, our recommendations should put their minds at ease," Arum said.

"If not, one has to wonder if their motives are more about leveling the fight."

Arum had sympathy for boxing fans who have been looking forward to seeing two of the sport's finest fighters meet in a fight expected to bring more than 100 million dollars in revenue.

"Sure they will be disappointed, but theyve got to understand whats up," Arum said. "We're not going to keep appeasing this guy for no damn reason, especially over something that would affect, psychologically, my fighter. Were not going to be pushed around by this guy."

Mayweather Promotions chief executive Leonard Ellerbe made the demand for WADA-style testing on Dec. 12.

"Manny Pacquiao doesnt know anything about drugs," Arum said. "This is just typical nastiness by wise guys like Ellerbe and Mayweather."

Arum said telecaster HBO tried in vain Tuesday to find agreement on the testing but to no avail.

"Forty years of fights in Las Vegas and nothing like this has ever come up," Arum said. "If you want more stringent testing, sure, as long as it doesnt inconvenience and psychologically affect Pacquiao, who cares?"

"Its the blood testing close to the fight, while hes in training, thats unnecessary. And everybody who knows anything about drug testing will tell you its unnecessary."

Possible next foes for Pacquiao, Arum said, include Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez, American Paulie Malignaggi or unbeaten Israeli Yuri Foreman, the World Boxing Association super welterweight champion.
