ODLH confirms Pacquiao camp agrees...?

Bob Arum agreed, and how can he agree to Mayweather's terms if they aren't even negotiating? Mayweather is fighting Ortiz now not Pacquiao. Even if they were, is he agreeing to Mayweather's terms but only under his own terms that drug testing shouldn't be by USADA?

I don't really care what Bob Arum has to say, when the fight happens, then I'll believe it.

@nepster, Actually the same thing because Bob Arum had already said that. De La Hoya is just confirming it. We can hope all we want but if Mayweather wants it done by USADA then it's by USADA. You can't agree to the demands of someone else and then try to change their demands. That's not agreeing. The drug testing was Mayweather's demand so if he wants it on his terms then it's on his terms. Why does everything have to be under Bob Arum's terms. "we agree to blood testing but with a 21 day cut off. We agree, but to a 14 day cut off. We agree, but it can't be by USADA."

If they are negotiating then they are, it's not agreeing to someone else's terms if you want it to be your way.

I'm just saying, Bob Arum is always about Bob Arum not boxing or this fight. And also I think the best way to get the fight done is just to agree instead of finding Middle Ground. Nothing wrong with compromise because that's what I would do but I think it would go a lot easier if they just agree. Mosley did, Ortiz is as well, why is it so hard for Bob Arum? Bob Arum doesn't like Mayweather, doesn't like doing business with him.

There is still a catch on this Nepster, the test should be done not by USDA. Floyd Jr. can still find a way out. He might claim that his demand wasn't really accepted, you know what it is. I hope this link is of some significant. http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/326122/pacquiao-okay... I posted a similar question one or two days ago and one answer that I received was it wasn't fully accepted, that it got to be Floyd Mayweather Jr's way and USDA is his way. It would be hilarious if he decline this. It prove only one thing and only one, he is scared of Manny. I promised before that I won't use the word ducking unless he fought somebody else other than Manny and I have the liberty to use it now, and the word scared will likewise be on hold until he refuse the kind of test that Manny accepted. I don't believed that he is really scared and no such fighter is scared to fight and I hope he won't give me a chance to use it.

Manny Pacquiao started to show his intention to fight Floyd Jr. like what he saying before and he have given too much in terms of leeway. I am sure that he got a point of not accepting USDA and there's more available accredited institutions who can do the random test. It is a matter of trusting one company over the other. I hope the Mayweather's take this into consideration. Time for Floyd Jr to fight Manny or make another alibi and give us something to disappoint again.

Both TR and GBP were really trying to work hand and hand for the sake of boxing and I hope it stays that way and not just temporary.

Hi there Mr. Nepomuceno!

It may bring a lil hope for us fans somehow that they can now give us what we want to see not necessarily just the Pac-May fight but good fights as a whole. With regards to the Pac-May fight, I am crossing my fingers. Arum is a self confessed liar and do business very smart. I guess there is a catch for all of him being cooperative. Let see as early as next year, hope the Megafight will finally happen, not just to happen but would live to the hype it created!

Nepster that is indeed good news.But my God, there is so much time in between.What will happen next.Don't want to get my gander all up only to be floored in the middle of negotiations.

Hope Floyd and team will do they're part as well.It does give some form of hope.But im working on my blood pressure so i will reserve my excitement until it happens.

Damn, how about this. They both skip Marquez and Ortiz altogether. I hope this is real now. Oscar had failed us before when he prematurely said that the fight is as good as done.

it sucks that it comes down to the promoter's hands

but i hope this fight happens

Offense vs Defense

if Floyd wins it will be by K.O. (quick counter puncher, better defense, more experience and against better opponents)

if Pacquiao wins it will be by Unanimous Decision (throws a whole lot of punches and lands a lot of them)

Mayweather will have a new excuse. Just like Redboy does.

as the words of the great mills lane

"let's get it on!"
