Now he say he lose because of the blood test, what a f u cking liar. You are clean unlest proven guilty, but the big question are, how could u prove it, if the man dont want to take a blood test?. I think Pacquiao or Roach rather die, than to take a random blood test on pacquioa, any way it will be the same. Because the penalty will be worse if Pacquiao will be cought. when pacquiao fought with Erick Morales and lose, his excuse is Morales let him use a glove that dont fit him.

So dont keep on pointing fingers or barking in the wrong tree. If the other parties ask for $10 million dollars fine for every pound that exceed in the weight agreement and the other parties agree, which in other words is not also the commission rules, and the other parties also ask for their term do u think it only logical for a normal person with a proper brain to accept the deal. to take a blood test is not the commission concern, it was the agreement of two parties envolve in the deal.

It will never happened, reason pacman will not take a blood test.If pacquiao will be cought using PED do you know what will happened Roach will be in shame for the rest of his life so as pacquiao, the pilipino people will blame roach more than pacquiao perhaps the pilipino people will kick him out of the country. So in other words he is only talking to make every body believe that pacquiao want to fight floyd but in reality pacquiao will not going to fight floyd. Roach keep on talking pacquiao fighting floyd.

They're the two biggest names in the game right now, why should may get to make the rules. I can understand may asking moseley to take the test because there is a history of pedsbut there isn't with pac. I've read that pac picked the ring size, the gloves and so on. It's. The other way around. Mayweather puts so many stipulations on a fight because he wants to control everything. Roach and pac are in the position to say no. If mayweather wanted to fight pac he would have agreed to the 14 day cut off not trying to push it to 10 days. Mayweather is the one who came in with the 14 days and when pac agreed he went to 10, now that sounds like someone who doesn't want to fight. I still don't understand why people won't give pac the credit he deserves for his accomplishments. Instead its excuses like he's on peds or those guys were washed bums. Sorry to those of you out there who think that but there are athletes out there that are just that good. Why should pac and roach give mayweather anything.

I love his style, I like him as a person and I want him to win every fight I have ever watched. I do like Floyd more as a fighter, but as a person it is Pac Man all day. I honestly root for both of them. I just HATE the fact that he is with Arum, and wowza is right, if Manny has a weakness it is that he trust those around him WAY TOO much. He honestly feels that he should allow Arum to do his job. While that is noble, I really hope he jumps ship and gets the Mayweather fight done. I think we all do. This debate almost makes us take sides, but I feel the majority is where I am, they like both fighters and want to see it done. I am going to sit back and watch a great fight tonight (on PPV) and then I am going to sit back and watch a GREAT fight on May 1st (on PPV) and then see what is ahead, I just am not going to get my hopes up.

It's actually ironic because not so long ago, Mayweather was exactly where Pacquiao is now. Mayweather wanted the biggest fight in boxing, a fight with Oscar De la Hoya. Arum HATED Oscar, and refused to deal with him. So Floyd had to leave Top Rank to get that fight. Pacquiao wants the biggest fight in boxing, a fight with Floyd Mayweather. Arum HATES Mayweather, and basically torpedoed the fight. Pacquiao is going to do the same, leave Arum to get that fight with Floyd. Agreed in full.

Good conclusion based on past events, makes sense. If you look at Pacquiao's past, I'm not calling him an idiot by any means, but he seems to confide too much in the people around him. I wouldn't doubt that he's listening to whatever Arum says, in a way owing the growth in his career to him. In some ways he does. It's clear Arum has some personal vendetta against Floyd, so unless he drops it, or he drops dead, a Floyd fight doesn't seem probable. luvboxing,

After that Roach starts this whole "Mayweather doesn't make the rules" routine. There is NO DOUBT he is getting his marching orders from Arum on this. Like I have said a million times, the FIGHT WILL NEVER HAPPEN, we might as well get used to THAT FACT. Unless Pacman drops Arum somehow there is no chance. Arum will never let it happen as long as he is alive. I honestly believe that Roach wants the fight to see who is best. He knows that Pac & Floyd are truly elite fighters that should be in the ring together and that it would save boxing. However, he is now a part of the politics of it because of the idiot Arum. Too bad for all of us.
