not long after declaring that the fight was off, arum had a change of heart and offered mayweather a 24-hour take-it-or-leave-it deadline to accept team pacquiao's terms for drug testing. top rank sent out a press release explaining their position on mayweather's request for random olympic-style drug testing. in it, arum said pacquiao was willing to submit to as many random urine tests requested, but as far as random blood tests were concerned, he was only willing to subject himself to three tests: one in january, one 30 days from the bout (no later than february 13) and immediately after the fight. "let's be very clear on the real issues we differ on. it's not about being tested ... it's about who does the testing and the scheduling of the procedures ... 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," arum explained. freddie roach told lance pugmire of the "los angeles times" on december 22, 2009, that he would prefer for pacquiao to give his final blood sample a week before the bout and no later than 72 hours before.
