In response to the release sent out Tuesday by Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions which stated that Mayweather vs. Pacquiao was “in jeopardy,” Bob Arum, chairman of Top Rank, the promoter of seven-division world champion Manny Pacquiao, had the following to say: “Let’s be very clear on the real issues we differ on. It’s not about being tested. Manny is onboard with that since it’s such a major concern of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. It’s about who does the testing and the scheduling of the procedures. Manny will submit to as many random urine tests requested. Regarding the blood tests, he will subject himself to three tests; one given in January during the week the fight is formally announced, one thirty days from the fight, no later than February 13, and the final one immediately following the fight, in Manny’s locker room. The major issue related to the testing rests with which independent agency will administer these tests. The United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) cannot do it because they will not amend its procedures to accommodate the blood testing schedule we have outlined. USADA, under its guidelines, would have the right to administer random blood tests as many times as they want up to weigh-in day and that is ludicrous.
“Our suggestion is to utilize any of the independent agencies that work with the National Football League, the National Basketball Association or Major League Baseball, since they administer drug testing for their professional athletes.”
New York-based athletic physician, Dr. Keith Pyne, a private injury consultant for NFL athletes and those who participate in running and combat sports, told AOL Fanhouse,
“I have more than 800 guys who are special athletes who are all drug-tested. And the urine testing is sufficient that you won’t miss anything, especially with performance-enhancing drugs. So, yes, I believe that the urine testing is more than sufficient for boxing. If you’re using steroids, it’s going to come up for sure in urine. There’s no way it’s going to get through the liver and the kidney without being detected.”
“If Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions are sincere in creating ‘a level playing field,’ as they stated in their release, our recommendations should put their minds at ease,” said Arum. “If not, one has to wonder if their motives are more about leveling the fight.”
It is normal for a person to impose too many conditions before jumping into the ring to fight: HE IS HOPING, TERRIBLY HOPING, EARNESTLY HOPING, FERVENTLY HOPING, THAT THOSE CONDITIONS WOULD BE NOT MET. In short, He isssssssssssssssssssssssssssss SCAREDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD to death.
Bob is talking about this private doctor .Boxing fans anybody is venal.urine test won’t detect all kind of steriods specially HGH .that is why there is something called blood test .Bob lied about his
fighter being scared of needles and ironically he fighter is getting new tattoos .
Boxing fans please do not believe this con man
he is insulting your intelligence .
maywethear has complied with all the stipulation
by manny .he agreed about the 10 million dollars penalty and about the 8oz gloves.Manny is refusing to get tested for his blood because is Squeamish to needles give me a break .
who is the coward now .nobody can debate this unless he is a biased .
Man ,floyd complied with everything manny asked for ,the 10 million penalty and the gloves size.who is the bitch now .floyd is asking for a simple test for a fair fight ,but manny is refusing
becuase he is hiding taking HGH or substance can’t be detected by a urine test.who is not playing fair now!!!.
I hope valero fights with manny to show the whole world that manny is not what people think of him .
maywether is willing to fight ,but manny is acting like a bitch ,no I am affraid of needles hahaha
This only shows that Floyd is affraid to lose and of course affraid of Manny, the champ of 7 weight classes.
Maybe he’s having goosebumps everytime he hears the name Manny Pacquiao. Hahaha
Floyd should stop this nonsense cause he does not even know the meaning of the word “FAIR”. Am I right boxing fans?
Here’s an update on this thing: http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4768830
Fadi, saying you know something about something doesn’t mean you actually know it, you may or not know but part of what your saying is wrong and I posted an article with information from the World Anti-Doping Agency and your going against that? come on man, now your going to say you know things not even the Agency involved in Anti-doping knows..
I would like to agree to disagree with you on this one but you don’t have anything to back things up, just you saying you were a bodybuilder therefore you have to know what your talking about.
Anyways to much talk on the same thing and we are not going to go anywhere with this, let’s wait and see what happens, we both agree on wanting to see this fight at least lol.
cool ,talking to you when you edify yourself about steriods .
LOL the best of you has come out, nice talking to you my friend.
You do not know shit about steriods my friend .
you are an arrant nescient when is comes to steriods .go enlighten yourself then post your comments.
This was said somewhere else and it sums it all up:
“Anyone with half a brain who has been following this issue, is aware that Pacquiao has agreed to a blood testing regimen which would definitively show whether he is clean or not. This is total defamation of character on the accusers part. But I am not surprised. This is what happens when someone achieves greatness, and is on the cusp of legendary status”
Your pretty much like a broken record, no point on a discussion with you because your to close minded.
Hope this fight happens and may the best guy win.
PACMAN is on HGH unless he proves the opposite by get blood tested .
stop the crap, stop being coward and get into the ring fight like a man… after a hard training you get blood test 2 days before fight no way! ….. evrybody knows pacquaio dont use any drugs …common gayweather stop being coward.
Dude Stop spreading wrong information, people that don’t know will think your right when your not.
This is what John Fahey the head of the World Anti-Doping Agency said back in the Beijing Olympics :”The Wada (world Anti-Doping Agency)-approved test, which relies on urine samples, now had a “detection window” of 72 hours, an improvement from its former accuracy range of just 24 hours” He was talking specifically about HGH testing.
Get your facts right. Here’s the link:

Bob just want to protect his fighter’s reputation
he knows for a fact that the blood test will reveal
the presence of HGH in PacHGH body.
