Bob Arum says if that doesn't happen by Thursday, the proposed March 13 fight that could be the richest ever in boxing is over.

Arum accused Mayweather's camp of raising the issue not because they were worried about Pacquiao taking performance-enhancing substances, but because Mayweather never wanted to fight in the first place.

Arum said Wednesday that Pacquiao would agree to the same testing that football and baseball players undergo but not for random tests by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

He said Pacquiao would look for another opponent to fight March 13.

It's like Arum says, Floyd didn't want the fight so the pussy is just finding ways to not have to fight without looking like a biotch.

He has nothing to hide, which is why he is willing to cough up his blood immediately following the fight. Traditions and superstitions are especially important to some people.

From what I can tell, Mayweather is trying to exploit as much as he can from this.

I wonder if Sr. doubts of pacquaio's legit strength is the reason why they want a blood test. He should question how his son has a 40-0 winning streak....but of course rumor has it that they were mostly lower in weight than him. Plus, I havn't seen all of his fights, but the only one I have seen was vs. marquez, and his style is more of a hit and run rather than actually fighting. I guess by not moving around for him helps him keep his stamina, although I feel it's a cheesy way to win. I like fights like this one: Manny Pacquiao vs. Oscar Larios - Full Fight Video keeps you on the edge of your seat. Both fought extremely well IMO.

I guess he also wants to bring the moral of his supporter down....seriously though, why do it? I mean this is a huge fight that will bring both of them alot of money, and isn't that what mayweather "money" is? a businessman?

Paying the fine is a small price to pay for keeping his undefeated image so I could see that easily happening also. I think Floyd still has a little speed on Pacman(not much) but enough to keep Floyd in control. Expect Floyd to be leading with the right and letting Manny come in with a jab or a 1-2 and using his shoulder to block the jab and counter with an upper cut. I want Pacqiao to win so..GL MANNY !

P.S. Floyd really pisses me off the way he uses his forearms and **** to block and uses his elbows to keep people off him. Don't think that should be allowed.

if this fight was to happen its going to be a title match and mayweather will not be allowed to gain 10 pounds in a day because he need to get weighted again on fight night or he will not be allowed to fight. Correct me if Im wrong

in the you have got to be ******** me news of the day paq is going to sue the mayweather camp for slander and now paulie Malignaggi might replace mayweather on the 13th and fight paq.. uhh seriously? thats not a PPV quality fight.. that wouldnt even be a 3 round fight

370Zsteve · 12-25-2009, 08:59 PM

OMG why don't they just drop the whole doping test thing...IMO its MW Sr. fault that started all of this, I just want to see the freakn fight. C'mon this is stupid.....

I think this whole thing is about money, and people being pissed off. From what I read here: http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news?slu...yhoo&type=lgns its just retarted....media is hard to trust, but it seems like it started from a grudge. Again, I usually take alot of this stuff as a grain of salt...

Plus don't they test the fighters before and after the fight? I mean if he took something wouldn't it have been announced to the world already?

If Pac doesn't have anything to hide then why is he refusing?

Most likely he is taking some ilegal $hit...

370Zsteve · 12-31-2009, 09:10 PM

Floyd is just playing with Pacman's head. And it's working.

Read the article?

vash_241987 · 12-31-2009, 11:56 PM

Here are some Q's I have:
Don't they take tests anyways before and after fights?
If so wouldn't they have seen it any drugs?
Anyone know any specific enhancements that cannot be seen in urine test?
Is Olympic testing the best? Didn't Marion Jones admit to doping, causing her to lose all her medals?

I agree that everyone automatically becomes suspicious when an athlete doesn't want to take a test. Pacquaio should have just gone ahead and tested.....no ifs, and, or buts. Innocent until proven guilty IMO....

Its not like he is refusing to be tested all together, its just the specific olympic test that they are refusing.

I see most of you are letting your dislike for mayweathers attitude affect your thinking. It's as simple as this if you want the fight we both take the same test. I cant believe the stupid s**t such as his superstitions , he's scared , he needs an excuse !!! maan where are you guys from???
Here are the rules we both play by the same ones no advantage for iether fighter !!!! but you wont (hhmmmmm) sounds kinds fishy to me.
Mayweather will continue to do what he has done to all the others DESTROY THEM !!! The excuses keep coming since the delahoya fight , he did not beat him , he did not hit hard enough , etcc... Mayweather uses his mouth to earn money and enemies , his boxing skills is unmatched, he can punch , he's bigger than mpost opponents but his best asset is he's smarter in the ring by using whatever style it takes to win. now using his smarts in every day life may just be another matter , but that wont keep you from getting beat down in the ring. I think paccia(sp) is a good fighter , one of the best but he will get schooled in the ring against weather !!
most will talk with thier hearts and desires but will bet with thier mind. mind says weather will win. your hearts want paccia(sp) to win to different things !!
