Promoter Bob Arum: Mayweather-Pacquiao off;

The proposed Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight is off because Mayweather’s camp refused to relent on drug tests via blood rather than urine sampling, promoter Bob Arum said Tuesday night in an exclusive interview with The Press.

 

Does this prove the rumors?? I think this is will be a huge blow for boxing if this fight does not happen. And look at this:

He said he would pursue other possible opponents for Pacquiao, including Yuri Foreman, Paulie Malignaggi, or a third fight with Juan Manuel Marquez.

Really? Pacquiao vs Malignaggi? Oh yeah, I'll be in line for that slaughter.

Anyone here know exactly what can be found in a blood test opposed to urine?

Mayweather's Unreasonable Demand

The recent news report on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.‘s drug test result which failed has proven that Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) is effective in its job of protecting boxers from potential cheaters, even if it uses urine tests only. Thus, there is no reason whatsoever for Mayweather camp’s demand to do away with NSAC and seek another body to oversee the drug testing. This test result has proven beyond reasonable doubt that Mayweather camp is only discrediting Pacquiao’s achievements and is only looking for a way out of the fight after witnessing Pacquiao’s demolition of Cotto. Mayweather’s baseless accusations of Pacquiao’s outstanding performances generally put the boxing sport in jeopardy, as anyone now would be able to accuse good boxers of the past such as Muhammad Ali, Rocky Marciano, Henry Armstrong, etc. of using performance-enhancing drugs because of their exemplary performance, and because they were not able to submit themselves to Olympic-style dope testing which the Mayweather camp is favoring, probably after observing that Pacquiao lost to Morales in their first fight after giving blood samples several days leading to the fight. If Mayweather’s camp will not be punished for their tirades on Pacquiao and on boxing in general, their actions will be repeated by others and the result will be chaos. If I were Pacquiao though, I would give in to Mayweather’s unreasonable demand just to push thru with the fight which everyone wants to see, in one condition: if Pacquiao will be proven clean, Mayweather has to pay him a significant amount of money, say between $5M to $10M.
