they compromised regarding the weight penalty but not their demand of olympic type testing wherein they could draw blood from manny even within 48 hours from the fight.Quote:

i think pacquiao and mayweather can still come to a compromise regarding the testing and make the fight happen. the script isn't finish yet imo. the pac-dlh fight was also called off but eventually still got made.
Look at the facts, each team had a significant issue with the fight.
Pac's team was concerned that Mayweather would come in over weight. Mayweather agreed to the 10 million per pound clause to guarantee he would come in within the welterweight limit.
Mayweather's team was concerned Pacquiao was using PEDs. So they asked for a test to prove he was clean to the best of the ability of modern science. Pacquiao started making random excuses THEN ODLH came out and said he had concerns blah blah blah. And then Pacquiao sued instead of agreeing to the test.
Someone that files a lawsuit is not looking to negotiate.
Quote:
Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said his fighter is willing to comply with strict drug-testing standards, but Roach won’t allow Pacquiao to have blood drawn 48 hours before the fight.
Ellerbe said he would not let Mayweather enter the ring unless Pacquiao agreed to it.

I should probably post a new thread but other probably will anyway and I think it belongs here.
Mayweather Jr. can take the steam out of this Lawsuit even for most everyone named in it simply by fighting Pacquiao. If he fights Pacquiao this March and they make more money than ever before then measuring the cost of defamation will be very very difficult.

Nah. I'd say just wait for the outcome of the lawsuit and let the fight happen next fall.Quote:

He has nothing to lose here.
Pac should and must take the olympic random drug test. The boxing fans and the haters deserve to be satisfied.
Pac has no right to say no to something like drug testing no matter how ludicrous it is.
Pac needs to finish this issue and start with the training. The whole world knows that the only way this fight will not happen with all the money involved is to do the olympic drug testing.
IF Pac gives in to Mayweather's demand, his win over PBF will be much sweeter.
