More arguing over Pacquiao-Mayweather
The promoter for Floyd Mayweather Jr. told The Times today he wants to make sure Manny Pacquiao understands the difference between the mega-fight happening or not is the matter of Pacquiao submitting to a blood test 10 days later than his camp has already accepted.
"We're still trying to get Mayweather-Pacquiao done for March 13, and we've heard Manny has made claims that the position of Floyd willing to end blood tests 14 days before the fight was never communicated to him," Mayweather promoter Richard Schaefer told The Times.
Pacquiao's representatives say they agreed during a mediation session this week to have the Filipino star submit to a blood test 24 days before the fight, and another immediately after the fight was over.
Originally, Mayweather said he wanted both fighters to be subjected to random blood tests for performance-enhancing drugs all the way until fight night. Pacquiao later declined to take a blood draw less than 30 days before the fight.
"Mayweather wants to split it down the middle to 14 days," Schaefer said. "Isn't that reasonable?"
The question was put to Pacquiao's promoter.
"We had a [mediation] deal based on 24 days, but we said it's all off the table if [Mayweather representatives] get a no from Floyd, and they got a no," Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum said. "So the train has left the station. We have moved on. We don't want to talk about Mayweather anymore until the fall."
Arum went as far as saying he's going to match Pacquiao against another welterweight fighter in his company, Joshua Clottey, on March 13 at a venue he wouldn't disclose but is reportedly Thomas and Mack arena in Las Vegas.
Schaefer is urging Mayweather-Pacquiao talks to continue, admitting a deal needs to be struck soon because of training schedules. Schaefer said "the fight is so publicized and being asked for by the public that it doesn't need our usual promotional push."
When told that, however, Arum replied, "He wants talks to continue. Who is he going to be talking to?"
Asked if Pacquiao knows the fight can be saved by agreeing to the 14-day deal, Arum barked, "Are you crazy?" and hung up the phone.

Floyd Mayweather the one using banned substances?
Perhaps the reason for Golden Boy and Mayweather not wanting to fight in Texas now becomes clear. Obviously if tested there, particularly with the extensive testing he was asking for, Mayweather would test positive for a banned substance. In Nevada, these drugs are legal, and presumably can be used for athletic competition without any legal or financial recourse.
After all the negotiating trouble and accusations about Manny Pacquiao and his supposed steroid use, it appears Mayweather is the one taking widely banned substances.
The reason for Floyd using these drugs is presumably due to the fact that his hands are rather brittle, and he has broken both several times in the past. With a numbing agent to stop his hands hurting he can throw punches more often and without fear of hurting himself as much.
Another question this throws up is whether these drugs are illegal in Olympic style testing. Presumably they will be detected in some form, although whether they are illegal or not surely rests with the Nevada State Athletic Commission rather than anything else. They are the ones after all who make up the lists of what is and isn't allowed in athletic competition in the state. Olympic standards are different to these slightly, although anything extra testing found would surely be inadmissible against Floyd if the NSAC allowed it.
If nothing else, this news breaking again will further damage the already shaky reputation of Mayweather, who has seen his public opinion fall greatly with the drug testing debacle around his possible fight with Manny Pacquiao. whatever Floyd was trying to do there, and surely now it can't have been that he really wanted the testing initially, it has now backfired severely.
Full details about the use of the drug can be found in an old article on Insider Boxing (click here), dredged up from the depths by a Paclander by the name of Maverick65. Now obviously this article is old and was written by someone who doesn't like Mayweather very much by the sounds of it. However if the information is correct then mayweather is probably still doing the same things as he was back then. Brittle hands don't ever get tougher.

Mayweather blasts Pacquiao
NEW YORK (Reuters) — Floyd Mayweather Jr. launched a verbal jab at Filipino WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao on Thursday after talks to revive their planned mega-fight collapsed.
“Throughout this whole process I have remained patient, but at this point I am thoroughly disgusted that Pacquiao and his representatives are trying to blame me for the fight not happening when clearly the blame is on them,” Mayweather said in a statement.
“First and foremost, not only do I want to fight Manny Pacquiao, I want to whip his punk ass.”
A World Boxing Organization welterweight title bout slated for March 13 against Mayweather in Las Vegas was expected to be among boxing’s biggest revenue-producing fights.
The bout, widely considered to have matched the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, was called off on Wednesday when Mayweather’s demand for Olympic-style dope testing was rejected by Pacquiao.
Pacquiao’s promoters announced on Thursday they will probably name a fresh opponent before the end of the week.
“We expect Manny to fight in March,” a spokesman for Top Rank told Reuters. “We’re working on an opponent for him and we should have something finalized in a day or two.”
Mayweather said he offered a compromise but Pacquiao refused to bend.
“Before the mediation, my team proposed a 14-day, no blood testing window leading up to the fight. But it was rejected,” said Mayweather.
“I am still proposing the 14-day window but he is still unwilling to agree to it, even though this is obviously a fair compromise on my part as I wanted the testing to be up until the fight and he wanted a 30-day cut-off.”
“The truth is he just doesn’t want to take the tests,” he said. “Manny Pacquiao and his team are denying the people a chance to see the biggest fight ever. I know the people will see through their smokescreens and lies.”
“I am ready to fight and sign the contract. Manny needs to stop making his excuses, step up and fight,” he added.

Mayweather camp not giving up on superfight
Since the start of negotiations for a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight began in mid-November, Mayweather demanded random, Olympic-style drug testing administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency, which would have meant that both fighters were subject to random blood and urine testing up to and including the day before the proposed March 13 fight. Pacquiao rejected the offer, agreeing to unlimited urine tests but demanding that any blood tests be cut off no later than 30 days before the fight.
The sides had quickly agreed on most points in the negotiations and the drug-testing dispute has been the only sticking point in the last month in an attempt to make the bout between the men widely regarded as the top two fighters in the world.
The highly anticipated bout seemed to be going down the drain Friday afternoon as Pacquiao adviser Mike Koncz told Yahoo! Sports by telephone from the Philippines that “we’ve moved on and are getting ready to sign a contract to fight Clottey.”
Schaefer, whose company is representing Mayweather in the talks, said Friday he isn’t sure Pacquiao is aware that Mayweather agreed to cut off testing 14 days before the fight and to have it administered by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
Bruce Binkow, the chief marketing officer of Golden Boy Promotions, on Dec. 30 offered a 14-day cutoff as a compromise via instant message to Top Rank president Todd duBoef, who replied on Dec. 31 that “14 is no good.”
Schaefer said he believes the fight can be salvaged over the weekend and the first step is making certain that Pacquiao is aware of Mayweather’s 14-day offer. “There are reports [on the Internet] that Manny is not aware of this and we want to make certain that he knows what Floyd has agreed to do,” Schaefer said.
However, Koncz said he was informed of the offer and that he brought it directly to Pacquiao, who would not even consider it. Koncz said Pacquiao was very firm in his decision.
“Bob called and told us about the 14 days and I brought that to Manny and he said, ‘I told you, we’re not agreeing to that,’ and that was pretty much it,” Koncz said.
Schaefer called Mayweather’s offer “a very fair, very reasonable compromise solution” and said Mayweather is still eager to fight Pacquiao on March 13. Both Schaefer and Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe have denied speaking to any potential other opponents, though Mayweather has been linked through numerous published reports with Paulie Malignaggi.
“We’ve focused solely on getting a fight done with Manny Pacquiao and that’s it,” Ellerbe said.
But Arum said he contacted MGM Grand officials about staging a Pacquiao-Clottey fight in its arena on that date and said he was told the MGM was holding it for a Mayweather-Malignaggi fight. Arum said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is sending his private plane to Las Vegas on Saturday to pick up he and duBoef to bring them to Dallas, where they will attend the Cowboys’ playoff game with the Philadelphia Eagles and discuss staging the March 13 bout in Cowboys Stadium.
Schaefer, though, said he hoped he could revive talks over the weekend because he feels a deal is reachable. Arum scoffed at the talk and said no one from Mayweather’s side had contacted anyone from Top Rank on Friday with the idea of reopening talks.
It is too important for the sport, Schaefer said, to exhaust all possibilities before moving on to other options.
“It would be a disservice to boxing to consider any other names when we still have a few days where we could come to a deal,” Schaefer said. “We still do have a few days here and I’m hopeful it won’t take Manny Pacquiao a few days to respond. We’re ready to split this in the middle and other than this, everything else is ready to go.”
Ellerbe said the drug-testing procedure will be a part of every fight Mayweather is involved in for the rest of his career.
That will likely make it impossible to resurrect talks for a fight with Pacquiao in the fall. Koncz said Pacquiao made several major concessions, such as agreeing for the fight to be called “Mayweather-Pacquiao” in the U.S. instead of the other way around, that he won’t make if negotiations are reopened for a fight later in the year.
“Manny would be willing to fight Mayweather, but the tenor of negotiations would be a lot different in the future,” Koncz said. “Manny was very accommodating before, because he wanted to get this fight done and to satisfy the fans, who wanted it very much. Billing is important to Manny, but he gave that up to accommodate Mayweather’s ego because [Manny] wants to go out as the best fighter there ever was and, clearly, Mayweather is one of the best.
“But given what happened, Manny won’t make those concessions if they come back to us.”
Dr. Don H. Catlin, the head of the Los Angeles-based non-profit Anti-Doping Research, Inc., said a 24-day cutoff for blood testing is not sufficient to prevent abuse. One of the concerns with such a long blood-testing cutoff prior to the date of competition would be the potential use of Erythropoietin, or EPO.
But Catlin said that wouldn’t be the only concern if there were a 24-day cutoff imposed.
“If you have a 24-day window that’s free, with no testing, you can take whatever you want and you’re not going to get caught, end of story,” Catlin said. “[Urine testing] does matter, yes, but they’re not going to catch everything by urine testing alone. What you would do is to take Mircera [a type of EPO], which is available and which is not easy to detect in urine and away you go. You need a blood test.”
Arum said he understands that commissions may request additional testing of Pacquiao in the future because of the controversy raised during talks for a Mayweather fight, but he said neither he nor Pacquiao would have an issue with it.
Arum said an athletic commission would treat the fighters properly. Pacquiao believes he’ll be weakened by giving blood too close to an event. And while there is no medical evidence to back his claim, it could harm him psychologically.
“It’s the commission and if you have confidence in the commission, you will agree to abide by whatever they request,” Arum said. “But you know they’ll take the phobia of the fighters, and so forth, into account whenever they order what tests they deem appropriate.”

Foreman out; Manny camp eyes Clottey
Mike Koncz, Pacquiao’s adviser, yesterday said he and the Filipino boxing superstar talked about the possibility of facing the 33-year-old hitter from Ghana after plans of going up against Yuri Foreman, the 5-foot-11 light-middleweight champion, were aborted.
“It was supposed to be a secret,” said Koncz of having Clottey, who is also under Top Rank, as Pacquiao’s opponent either in March 13 or March 20. “But suddenly I get calls from the media and it’s all over the Internet. Manny and I talked about it and he said he’ll see.”
Koncz said they may come up with something concrete “in a day or two.” He said Pacquiao just got a little concerned with Foreman’s height and weight advantage even if there was a chance for him to win an eighth world title in eight different weight categories.
Koncz also said facing Paulie Malignaggi wouldn’t make Pacquiao look good, and at the same time there’s nothing to gain and nothing to prove fighting Juan Manuel Marquez, actually the last fighter who came close to beating Pacquiao on the ring, a third time.
Clottey, who lost a split decision to Cotto when others felt he should have won, is probably the best fight out there for Pacquiao.
Pacquiao and his promoter, Bob Arum, are shopping for a new opponent after negotiations for the superfight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. was declared dead the other day due to serious disagreements on the drug-testing and blood-testing procedures.
Mayweather said he has never backed out of the fight and just wanted Pacquiao to agree to have a blood test 14 days before the fight. Pacquiao said he just won’t do it, and instead agreed to have his blood tested 24 days before the fight. Again, there was no deal made.
Meanwhile, Cebuano matchmaker and another Pacquiao adviser, Wakee Salud, said there’s still a chance that the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight, which should be the biggest in the new century, could be saved. He offered a simple formula that both camps may look into.
“If Manny wants a blood test 24 days before the fight and Mayweather wants it 14 days before the fight, then why don’t they meet halfway. Minus five days for Manny and plus five days for Floyd. Maybe they can both agree to a blood test 19 days before the fight,” he said.
Salud said there’s so much money on the table, money that’s enough to cover more than a dozen other title fights, for the boxers to totally turn their backs on it. He said it’s the fight the public wants to see, and it’s the responsibility of the boxers and their promoters to make it happen.
“It’s like an Ali-Frazier fight not happening because of disagreements with the blood testing. This fight should happen. Either in March or later on, they need to make this happen. Again, maybe they can agree to blood tests 19 days before the fight and another immediately after,” said Salud.

Beermen trounce Bulls, enter semis
The Beermen imposed their will on the Barako Bull Energy Boosters early and completed a 94-85 victory at the Cuneta Astrodome last night to formalize their entry into the Final Four.
Arwind Santos and Mike Cortez produced big numbers while Dondon Hontiveros delivered the crucial baskets at the stretch as the Beermen rolled past the Boosters and into the semis.
San Miguel, with a 13-3 win-loss card, is now assured of at least No. 2 spot even if it drops its last two games against Coca-Cola and Talk n Text.
SMB coach Siot Tanquingcen, however, stressed they intend to sustain their charge in preparation for the playoffs.
“We can’t be satisfied with the semis. That’s the first goal and now we have to look at a higher objective. We have to figure out how to stay sharp as I’m sure the wildcard and the quarters will drag on,” said Tanquingcen.
Santos, a strong contender for the Best Player of the Conference award, had another remarkable performance against the Boosters, churning out 29 points and 12 rebounds. In their first meeting, the 6-foot-4 former FEU sentinel exploded with a career-best 33 points.
Joseph Yeo put in a personal season-best 31 points while Kelly Williams had a double-double job with 17 rebounds and 15 points as Sta. Lucia Realty turned back Burger King, 83-79, to tighten up the race for the three outright semifinal berths.
Yeo poured in the bulk of his output in the second half as the Realtors outlasted the Whoppers in their gripping battle, tying the Purefoods Giants at fifth place on 9-6 records.
Alex Cabagnot and Wesley Gonzales had decent showings in their first game in a BK jersey but their efforts went to naught as the Whoppers reeled to an 11th loss in 16 games.
Cabagnot and Gonzales combined for 30 points in the game marred by the ejection by BK coach Yeng Guiao in the closing seconds on technical infractions.
“I’m not inspired to play in particular against Barako Bull. I just want to play well in each game in the hope of finally winning a PBA championship. I’m the only player on my team without a championship,” said Santos.
Cortez and Hontiveros also made an impact as the Beermen kept the Boosters in the cellar in handing them their 11th straight defeat.
With a 2-13 slate, Barako Bull is now a full game behind ninth placer Coca-Cola (3-12).
The Boosters’ last three games are against the Talk n Text Texters tomorrow, the SLR Realtors the following Sunday and the Coca-Cola Tigers on Jan. 20.
The Beermen came out smoking in their first game in over two weeks, erecting a 22-point spread right in the opening quarter.
The Boosters launched repeated comeback attempts but the Beermen hung tough with Hontiveros coming through with clutch baskets that thwarted the last of Barako’s uprisings.
Hontiveros, who finished with 10 points, nailed back-to-back jumpers, making it 93-83 with a minute left to play.
Ogie Menor, Jojo Duncil and Aris Dimaunahan struck for the Boosters as they pounced on crucial miscues by SMB to rally to within four, 41-45, towards the end of the first half.
The Beermen took the half at 47-41 before working on another searing assault to break the game open again at 63-46.
The scores: First Game
San Miguel 94 - Santos 29, Cortez 18, Washington 15, Hontiveros 10, Villanueva 7, Miranda 7, Custodio 4, Pena 3, Tugade 1, Eman 0, Racela 0, Pennisi 0.
Barako Bull 85 - Menor 16, Duncil 16, Dimaunahan 16, Crisano 11, Reyes 8, Aljamal 7, Hubalde 4, Belano 3, Alonzo 2, Najorda 2, Faundo 0, Lao 0.
Quarterscores: 32-10, 47-41, 74-62, 94-85

Viloria, Nietes stake crowns in Bay card
.jpg)
Viloria stakes his International Boxing Federation (IBF) light-flyweight crown against Carlos Tamara of Colombia, while Nietes puts his World Boxing Organization (WBO) minimumweight belt on the line against Mexican Sammy “Guty” Gutierrez in a pair of 12-round bouts on Jan. 23 at the Astrodome.
Solar Sports presents the regular boxing series that kicked off last October featuring rising ring prospect Drian Francisco scoring a 10th round stoppage of former two-time world champion Roberto Vazquez of Panama for the World Boxing Association (WBA) super-flyweight international title.
The Boxing at the Bay is the biggest boxing program in South East Asia today in the tradition of boxing shows like Top Rank Promotions’ Latin Fury and Pinoy Power.
But the fights will also be fed live via satellite to major parts of Asia, North and South America and a few countries in Europe.
Viloria has long been a byword in world boxing ever since competing in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and later, knocking out Eric Ortiz in a single round to win the World Boxing Council (WBC) light-flyweight crown.
Only last year, he added to his legend a sensational 11th round knockout win of durable Mexican Ulises Solis to wrest the IBF 108-pound title before an ecstatic weekend crowd at the Araneta Coliseum.
Four months after, the 29-year-old Fil-Am boxer made a successful defense of the IBF title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Jesus Iribe of Mexico in his first homecoming bout in Hawaii after five years.
On the other hand, Nietes is defending his WBO 105-pound belt for the fourth time since capturing the title three years ago with a unanimous 12-round decision over Thai Pornsawan Porpramook in Cebu City.
Just a year ago, the 27-year old pride of the famed ALA boxing gym traveled all the way to Mexico to stake his crown not once, but twice, successfully accomplishing the feat in opposite fashion.
First, he decisioned Eric Ramirez in their 12-round fight held in February that saw the Mexican knocked down a total four times. Seven months later, Nietes carved out a split decision against Manuel Vargas.
Since the boxing card was announced, tickets have been selling briskly.

UFC star wants to do a Pacman
“He’s really a role model, I wanted to be a Manny Pacquiao in mixed martial arts,” said Munoz, one of the fast rising stars in the UFC with a 7-1 (win-loss) record.
“I’m a very, very huge fan of Manny,” said Munoz in a phone interview arranged for the media by television giant ABS-CBN and its sports cable channel Balls at the ELJ Building in Quezon City yesterday.
Munoz is coming off an impressive victory over Ryan Jensen, finishing off his rival in just two and a half minutes in the first round during their middleweight undercard bout in UFC108 Evans vs. Silva at the MGM Grand Arena last Sunday.
It was Munoz’s second straight win since beating Nick Catone via split decision in UFC102 Couture vs. Nogueira last August. Those victories more than made up for his disappointing loss to light heavyweight contender Matt Hamill in UFC96 Jackson vs. Jardine five months ago.
Munoz said he even went to Los Angeles, California – a three-hour drive from his hometown in Vallejo – to train under Freddie Roach for a UFC bout and meet the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world.
“I actually trained with Freddie Roach when I was in LA and the reason I want to train with him is that I want to see Manny while training under the world’s best trainer,” said Munoz.
“At the same time, I want to see how compassionate a role model he is because aside from boxing, he’s a very good person that’s why I wanted to see and meet him,” Munoz said.
Like all boxing fans, Munoz said he was disappointed that the superfight pitting Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been called off, saying the unbeaten American fighter was scared of the Filipino champion.
“I think Mayweather is scared. I think he is putting off to create a lot of drama, so to speak. But I think they’re going to make it a bigger fight right now,” said Munoz.

Yeo leads Sta. Lucia past Burger King
One automatic semis slot has been taken away and another could be gone in the next few days. The battle for the next three positions, however, is only about to get tougher.
Sta. Lucia Realty made it two-zero in three days and tightened up the race for the three outright quarterfinals slots in the KFC PBA Philippine Cup after a gripping 83-79 win over Burger King at the Cuneta Astrodome Friday.
Kelly Williams grabbed the rebounds and Joseph Yeo put in the points as the Realtors overcame the fierce-fighting Whoppers, thus, catching up with the Purefoods Giants at fifth place on their identical 9-6 win-loss cards.
SLR and Purefoods are in strong contention for an outright quarters seat with Barangay Ginebra and Talk n Text just a game ahead at 10-6.
Alaska Milk, with an 11-2 card, may clinch the second outright semis berth.
"We know we're still in the fight for the Top Five and we want to grab the opportunity. We'll be there fighting," said Sta. Lucia coach Boyet Fernandez.
Yeo put in a personal season-best 31 points while Williams had a double-double job with 17 rebounds and 15 points as the Realtors got a follow-up on their 95-91 win over the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters Wednesday.
Josh Urbiztondo and Gabby Espinas provided help as the Realtors survived a tough battle with ace guard Ryan Reyes sitting out the final half with a sore back.
Alex Cabagnot and Wesley Gonzales had decent showings in their first game in a BK jersey but their efforts went to naught as the Whoppers reeled to an 11th loss in 16 games.
Cabagnot made 17 points, nine rebounds, two assists and one steal while Gonzales added 13 points and six rebounds.
Yeo poured in the bulk of his output in the second half leading the Realtors to the crucial win in the game marred by the ejection of BK coach Yeng Guiao on technical fouls.
It was a tight game that saw neither team lead by more than six points.
The Realtors had fallen by five at 63-68 when Yeo returned to the floor and resumed his torrid shooting, pushing SLR back on top at 78-72.
Yeo went seven-of-seven from the stripe and 11-of-19 from the field in his second most productive game as a pro.
Williams was 1-of-10 from the lane but made up for it with his domination of the boards. (SB)
The scores:
Sta. Lucia 83 - Yeo 31, Williams 15, Urbiztondo 12, Espinas 7, Daa 6, Reyes 5, Aquino 3, Jaime 2, Pacana 2, Omolon 0, Misolas 0.
Burger King 79 - Cabagnot 17, Gonzales 13, Sharma 10, Buenafe 9, Yee R. 8, Williams 6, Matias 6, Yee M. 5, Quinahan 4, Aban 1, Belga 0.

Cotto’s prey Clottey also in Pacquiao’s radar
New York-based Ghanaian Joshua Clottey is also in the running for the Manny Pacquiao lottery, which has become sort of a free-for-all following the breakdown of the megafight with Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
GMA News’ Chino Trinidad reported on QTV's Balingtanghali that Clottey, who unsuccessfully challenged Miguel Cotto for the WBO welterweight title last June 2009, is in Pacquiao’s radar along with junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman of Israel.
Pacquiao has seen the 32-year-old Clottey (35-3, 20 KO) in action first-hand against a common foe, Cotto. In that fight, Clottey survived a first-round knockdown and gave Cotto, who was cut in the third round after an accidental head clash, a tough time before yielding a close split decision.
Cotto, though, eventually lost that belt via an 11th-round TKO from the 31-year-old Pacquiao.
Clottey, a former IBF welterweight champion, has first vied for the WBO stap in 2006, losing a unanimous decision to Antonio Margarito.
Foreman too tall?
Foreman’s name was among the first mentioned after Pacquiao-Mayweather fizzled out, his 154-lb title giving the pound-for-pound king a shot at an eighth division crown.
But the unbeaten fighter's towering frame (5’11" against Pacquiao’s 5’6") could likely rule him out.
"Manny's concerned about Foreman's height. We'll go through the entire (welterweight and junior welterweight) categories and see what we can come up with," Pacquiao’s associate Michael Koncz said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
Aside from Foreman and Clottey, also considered as Pacquiao’s challenger are his old rival Juan Manuel Marquez, Zab Judah and junior welterweight champ Timothy Bradley.
Trinidad stressed that Pacquiao, who now has the power to choose his opponent, has yet to make his pick.
Pacquiao’s camp has been forced to look for a different fight after the last ditch mediation with Mayweather’s representatives bogged down. The two camps failed to come up with a settlement over drug testing protocol.
