Mayweather breaks his silence...

If what Mayweather says is true, and he bended to 14 days - then Pac really is a pussy. 14 days is plenty, too much even...

Agreed.

If Mayweather truly has offered this and the Pac camp has refused then all I can say is "wow". They really have chickened out big style. It makes it really look as though they have something big to hide. 14 days was the perfect compromise. After all Manny gets "dizzy" after giving blood. But 14 days is plenty of time to get over this "major" trauma, he can rest a few hours and there is nothing more to worry about and then get back into training for a final hard week or so. But to flat out turn down Mayweathers proposal is astonishing. And what's more we have been hearing all kinds of shite from Arum and most of it appears to have been lies or at best misinformation.

And a big to Pacquiao and Arum. They are both a couple of shadey crooks and scoundrels. The fight was there to be made and again they have blown it.

I am starting to believe that the reason Pacquiao has not agreed to Mayweather's 14 day proposal is that my beloved countryman is too afraid to fight. None of the who is in charge makes the call bull$hit. It's about wanting the fight and Pacquiao does'nt want it. He CLEARLY does'nt want it.

So it looks like Pac is either a 'Junkie' or a 'yellow Belly' not really looking good is it

mediator, where art thou? thy have some extrapolating to be done.

Arum & Koncz have slammed Mayweather's statement, although haven't gone as far as to deny it.

Team Pacquiao, Arum Slam Mayweather's 14-day Story - Boxing News

The choice quotes:

Arum

"after the horses leave the barn and they rejected Manny's 24 days offer he now comes up with 14 days which is totally unacceptable"

"this is not a swap thing among a bunch of kids"

"we agreed to go to 24 days before the fight for a blood test but he rejected it and that's it. It's over"

Most interestingly Arum feels that because 'the fans' are blaming Mayweather for the collapse of the fight, he's trying to turn it around, but it's not working

Koncz

sees PBF's statement as "both humorous and ludicrous all in one"

has been told my drug experts that PEDs "will be in your blood for 40 days before the fight or the day after the fight. Whatever is there is there for that period. So what the hell does 14 days have to do with it? Nothing other than to irritate Manny, knowing that he has whatever, a fear or superstition of extracting blood less than 30 days"

Sorry, had to highlight that last bit

His superstition only kicks in 30 days before a fight

Seriously, every time I think that there's nothing Arum & Team Pacquiao can do to make themselves look more stupid, there they go and confound expectations again

Here's Freddie Roach before Christmas :

"I will not let my fighter take a blood test the day before a fight," Roach said. "If they give me a five-day window or something like that I have no problem with it."

Manny Pacquiao's blood test refusal puts Floyd Mayweather Jr fight at risk | Sport | guardian.co.uk

It's amazing how his own trainer didn't know about the 30 day superstition.


Here's another good quote from Koncz :

"[Experts told us that any PEDs] will be in your blood 40 days before the fight or the day after the fight. Whatever is there is there for that time period. So what the hell does 14 days have to do with it? Nothing other than to irritate Manny knowing that he has whatever, a fear or a superstition of extracting blood less than 30 days."

This quote and a lot of what Arum has had to say over the past couple of weeks (blood tests are meaningless, our experts claim urine tests are better etc.) is basically for domestic Phillipine consumption. It's just damage limitation for Pacneedle's reputation back home as they can trust the domestic media not to ask too many questions and expose the bs. I bet Arum is fucking furious about this whole mess though.
