he has "1" prior, in 40 fights!!!!
get real.
and nobody saw the contract for that fight either. yes, it was an agreed 144 lb. catchweight, but from what GBP says, it was always a "WW" fight, meaning there could've been a stipulation in the contract already stating that mayweather pays if he didn't make 144.
i like it how ppl assume the guy just nonchalantly "broke" rules, when they have no idea of what the specifics are......
he did break the rules, why do you think he came out of pocket for 600k!?!?! because he felt bad for not meeting the "CONTRACTED WEIGHT"???
you get real dude, you got blinders on.
and 144 is still welterweight, the division is anywhere between 140-147, and the contract was at 144, floyd came in at 146, which was not the contract weight.
manny pacquiao's team didn't want the same thing to happen in this fight, with floyd not even trying to come in at the contracted weight, again, and just coming out of pocket again. which was breaking the rules of the contract, which wasn't respected by floyd, which makes him a cheater who just pays his way out of it, and it's ok by his fans, when it's up front cheating, if you really want the truth about it.
and like someone else said in the beginning of this thread, it would end up being something like 18 tests at least within 2 months, that is excessive and borderline harassment. i say with all those tests and blood being taken there is too much that can go wrong, be it tainted blood i.e. sabotage, blood could go missing, false positives, etc. which would also only muck things up more than it is already.
pacquiao has agreed to the test, just not the ridiculous amount of tests, more than 3 blood test is harassment, you're not going to find anything between those blood tests, urine tests, and the fact that pacquiao is going to be watched like a hawk over this, which is going to be a distraction and disrupt his training, floyd original mission.............
Who cares if it's the first time that this has been done? How can stricter drug testing be a bad thing? The objection to this testing seems a little absurd.
If i knew this kind of thing happen, i would have created a rumor long time ago
and question floyd on steriods too and this will also question his "0" loss
why does it has to be manny? when he is in his prime now i just think a lot of people are jealous of his achievements... :crackhead
And then what would you do when Floyd agreed to full testing?
Thats interesting. Cotto had to fight at 147 to get his belt, but Manny didn't.
you don't have to fight at 147 to be a welterweight fight.
any fight fought between 141 and 147 is a welterweight fight.

What the fukks all this crap about.
It's unprecedented. No fighter in the history of boxing has ever been put through such a strict test as Olympic-style drug testing. What it's all about is that Sr. assumes that what Pacquiao is doing right now is not possible, so he fabricated this bullshit to tarnish Manny's Image, and tried to paint him dirty. Hence why they are asking for the drug test... It's there way of saying he's on roids. Which Pacquiao has past every test that he has every been subjected to per the rules stated by the boxing commision and has never had problems. Nor was there every any suspicion until Sr. open his mouth about this shit. Now it's one big fuk circus because of a stupid ass test. The test is over kill...I mean god damn 10 to 16 some odd drug test at a time? Man this is boxing, not the fuking Olympics!
Welcome to hollywood pac man. The more successful you are and the more famous you get the more open to criticism you'll be. Mayweather went through it and still goes through it and now manny is. Just take the test and make the fight. If all these guys on here are right he doesn't want to fight and he'll just find another way to get out of the fight anyway right? Manny said floyd is scared well make the fight that will scare him. The best reason they can come up with not complying with the tests is that its a nuisance...yeah but its a 40 million dollar nuisance that the other guy will also receive. JUST MAKE THE F******* FIGHT.
team pac handled this badly.
they have no choice to give in.
scheaffer raped arum and roach publicly.
team mayweather has the upper hand in the negotiations now and not just in the testing part.
expect floyd to get a few of his little demands met from now on.
did i say it's an advantage?
i don't think blood tests are an advantage or disadvantage to anyone.
my point is that floyd asked for them of course he'll have no problem with it.
just like pac has no problems with his demands and requests.
get it?
mayweather can ask for whatever he wants. unless pacquiao agrees it don't mean shit.
now if he can pressure pacquiao to agree that's a different story.
one side has a demand , the other side will offer concessions. that's how negotiations work.
this is nothing more than that. negotiations.
don't make it seem like this is some noble offer by mayweather. just like don't make it seem like a disnoble action by pacquiao to not agree to something that is not required.
It you don't think blood test are advantage or disadvantage to anyone. Then whats with all this out cry of injustice the Pac groupies are bitching about. That's all everyone is saying. How is that hating or discrimating. People are know calling me a hater and are R k-ing me LOL.
What the fukks all this crap about.
NO. Flody Mayweather will also be subject to RANDOM tests. They should be random so you don't have a chance to prepare for them. I definitely believe now that Pacquiao is on something.

So your saying that by having Manny well tested is an advantage for Floyd?!!! Why? Because it will be in Floyd's favor that they might catch something illegal on Manny!!LOL man thats hilarious. Its in Floyds favor that he wants this fight to be clean as possible!!!

Ok Mayweather. His an olypian and is asking for this test on himself as well.
mayweather can ask for whatever he wants. unless pacquiao agrees it don't mean shit.

I think pac should agree to blood tests up to 1 week before the fight itself, that will take out his fear of being weakened. These fears and ideas can be hard to shake, especially for some athletes who like to follow strict routines, this is not just for pac but im sure a lot of em feel a bit like this, about a week before the fight seems fair to me and a test right after the fight and im sure everyone can feel confident of no foul play, not that i think pac is on anything, id say he isnt
