End of Day 2 of Mediation - No Agreement - They say fight is off

Thats funny I read the same specialists that you are referring to say that its a joke to have scheduled blood tests, that you could certainly cycle around them... Besides Mayweather is willing to go through the same tests so I think your point loses its validity...

Not to mention teenage gymnasts and ice skaters random blood test and they wont even make a fraction of what Pussiauo will make for this fight.

So emotional hormonal teenage Hannah Montana and twilight watching girls are willing to submit random blood tests. But the supposed PFP#1 in one of the most brutal combat sports in the world with a whole country on his back and potential 40 million dollars in his pocket and HE WONT FUCKIN DO IT? Anyone who dosent think thats absurd is an absolute fuckin nutter.. The guy is hiding something!!!!

I watched Major League Ball Players pull this same shiit for years until they got caught and the ones who didnt get caught or proven guilty wont even sniff the Hall Of Fame either. It's all Bullshit 24 days? GET REAL!!, he didnt move shit at all, at least counter with 10 days or something. Yet you blame Mayweather because he didnt move

In the bigger picture random blood testing and some kind of organized union is the best damn thing that can happen to the sport so it weeds cheaters out and removes the corruptness that we complain about after every damn high profile fight... Again if Pac had to do it alone thats one thing but he he has tattoos and the rest of his half baked excuses are exactly that, the little shit will lose more blood in the 1st three rounds of the fight than he would from a blood test a day or 2 before

40 million dollars. ok.. its a HUGE amount. but you are confusing manny for money. 40 million dollars cannot buy dignity my friend. you forgot that manny came from having nothing.
and 10 days? didnt you read what mayweather wanted? he wanted random testing. even if manny said that 5 days before the fight cut off floyd would still say no.

I work in sales my friend, with that being said: During the negotiating the goal is to make concessions on each part until there is reasonable compromise and both sides feel like they are getting a good deal, with that there is movement on both sides of course.. Manny at mediation didnt waver from his stance wouldnt counter with anything and stuck to 24 days, Floyd said no...My point is Manny wasnt even being reasonable or receptive to anything other than scheduled blood work... That tells me he is hiding something again Floyd was willing to submit to the same criteria.. Tell me again how this is Floyds fault?

thats good that you work for sales. just like when somebody bargains with you and you dont like the deal? do you say no right away or you keep bargaining till you reach a middle ground? all this time floyd wanted random testing. floyd didnt even bargain at all.. he just said NO upfront. he could have told manny "how about 10 days before the fight?" and maybe manny could have said yes or no.. but thats another arguement.

I agree wth that in a sense. It was clear that Mayweather wanted random testing and Pacquiao wanted scheduled testing for whatever reason, but we could have a fight if Mayweather said "How about random testing up until a week before the fight?" That might have been more acceptable. I still don't see any reason why Pacquiao didn't agree in the first place, but its disappointing that it looks like they can't work out a compromise on what is such a trivial issue. Until both sides have said its off i'll still remain hopeful that something might happen, but its beginning to look unlikely.
