There seems to be concern from numerous members of the sports industry. from writers, to reporters, even other athletes, regarding why I am concerned with random blood testing. Here is what I would like to explain for the world to understand.
My concern has never been with someone randomly checking me with regards to blood or urine. I volunteered immediately to have my urine tested anytime someone wanted to, all the way up to the time I am walking into the ring. It was later brought to my attention and the attention of my staff that you can not test for Synthetic Growth Hormone through urine. You could only detect Synthetic Growth Hormone through blood tests. Before all is this blood testing and demands from other people I had never even heard of Synthetic Growth Hormone. I have never seen it before nor have I ever used it.
As I have stated before I have never used anabolic steroids nor do I even know what they look like.
My concern as a fighter is that there should be some limitations and agreements on how much blood they can take from someone prior to a fight. My other concern is how close to the actual fight itself can they take the blood. It is my opinion taking blood from a person can weaken you. I do not want to be in a weakened state when I enter the ring against any fighter.
I view using steroids, synthetic growth hormone, or any other illegal or banned substance as cheating. I would never cheat this sport that I love. I would never cheat the legacies of the great champions I have been blessed to challenge. I would never do anything to cheat such great champions as Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, all of the Mexican Warriors that I have been blessed to go into the ring and do battle with. I believe all of these men to have great honor for boxing, for their country, and for themselves. They are heroes to me. These are people I have great respect for.
There would be no way I would ever cheat them out of what they deserve.
We as boxers risk our lives every time we enter the ring. We risk our health. This is a very dangerous sport. There is nothing I would do to make me have an unfair advantage to my opposition. This would not only be unfair to their legacy, but to their health, which could cause permanent damage. I would not want to hurt anyone nor would I want to cause pain to their families.
I take my training very serious. I train 30 rounds a day to be in the best shape during a fight, so I can give the fans the best show I can. I eat very healthy like chicken and fish and a lot of rice.
In order to make these new heavier weight classes I have to eat more then I have ever eaten in my life. I actually have to eat 5 times a day and bigger meals than I have ever eaten before.
I eat foods that build muscle. I work out hard. I stay very focused and disciplined towards my goal. I focus on success.
God has graced me with my abilities and I give all glory to him. I try and let God use me as an example of what someone can be if they if they never give up, if they work hard and believe in themselves, and if they never give up on life itself.
I believe you must believe in God and never quit.
I say this and I hope you will all understand. "Winning is only as good as the Winner itself"

Here's what 2008 Jamaican Olympics sprinter Asafa Powell said in an article publised by Yahoo.com,
Asafa Powell complained he was tested excessively during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, in which he won a gold medal as a member of his nation’s 4 x 100 meter relay team. “I got pretty upset two days ago because since I have been here, they have tested me four times,” Powell said during the 2008 Games. “They’ve taken so much blood from us we’re going to be very weak before the final.”

Goodluck GBP, Gayweathers, u r about to pay millions of dollars
ALL LIES!!!!
Take the test like a man!!!
As a true Pacfan, I no longer care about his bout with mayweather. Mayweather is a bitch and he doesnt deserve to be in the ring with Manny.
I agree pac shouldn't give floyd a chance to earn this big money fight.
People who think Pac has a case
WBO President
WBC Lawyers
Top Rank Lawyers
Manny Lawyer
Alot of Media sports writer
and now
Dan Petrocelli <-- The guy who put OJ away.
People who think Pac doesnt have a case
Flomos
:haha:
:lol1::lol1::lol1:
What mean you help me see better your intention , yes ?
What, you don't understand English or just forum jargon?
Okay, fair enough you pretending to not speak English, but you're clearly full of shit. 'Nuff said.
Oh, and not that it was at all necessary, but it is also possible to search user's posts. Too lazy to create a new alt., I presume?
I just read the entire huge thread where Arum exposes Pac as a liar , it kinda dont go past that in this because Floyd hasnt said anything , Pac and Arum are messing this fight up and it looks like a Pacman duck .
Cotto will be looking at Pac sideways if Manny keeps ducking these tests , this was his gentleman way of saying to Pac do the right thing for world boxing and prove you didnt cheat me .
True , reading this entire thread Pac and his team are liars blatant ones , it seems to me Pac is trying to get out of fighting Floyd .
(Just a few examples which I really didn't read before hand).
Honestly, does anybody really care about the court case?
I'm sure he does have grounds to sue Mayweather Sr. and probably GBP. However, what does this prove in the end and do we end up with a boxing match? So, they prove that Mayweather Sr. and his brother Roger talk a lot of shit in court, welcome to 20 years ago.
This still doesn't clear Pacman's names from cloud of doubt he has placed upon himself. Its time to take the tests and give the world the fight they want to see.
I am not sure he has grounds to sue because Manny is a public figure. It is easy to say, "Yeah, let's sue his butt for defamation" but it will be up to Manny's attorney to prove that Mayweather's statement was false and defamatory (it has to be both) if it is one or the other it is protected under the first admendment. If they can prove that then they have to prove that it was malicious or "actual malice." (I will not get into that because it brings back memories of my old Constitutional Law Class days w/ Dr. Smentkowski).
I guess what I am saying is this case can go years w/ decision and appeals. It is not worth the time or the money, especially with the uncertainty of the Supreme Court's final decision. (I included the last link because it is the old Jerry Falwell court case that was in Hustler, funny) Reference:

egh wrong try again ...
Pac has agreed to random testing.
Pacquiao can read. He has looked at the contract and they are apparently unsatisfactory since details and precautions were most likely neglected by the money hungry GBP team.
find the the statement that says that..Not Arum, Not Roach, Not Ariza...PACQUIAO. because the last and recent statement made by Pacquiao states he is willing to take blood test no more than 30 days prior to the fight..and will take blood test after the fight..that IS NOT random!
The USADA terms were in the contract..(as you can watch on youtube) where Roach says "they (Mayweather camp) want OLYMPIC STYLE BLOOD TESTING..sure we'll do that"..this was before Pac refused the USADA terms..so obviously if Roach made that statement prior to the refusal, they were aware of that clause in the negotiations..try again....
Federal Court huh? Didn't know they handled Civil matters - lol.
I guess you "didn't know" wrong. Yes, you can file a civil suit in federal court.:buttkick:
Thank you my friend , yes stay strong is good , renren you fix stutter if you grow strong , come back after you finish job you good boy .
Nice job of being an alt troll. Yes, it is rather transparent, bud.
You support Pac filing lawsuits cause his FEELINGS are hurt and ducking blood tests and leaving the fight.
So you support bitch moves. Sorry for the reality check.
Hah. Nice job of sucking your own cock.
Now, trying to speak any sort of sense to you would be about like trying to speak sense to a doorknob.
I've said it many times, Floyd Mayweather has the worst fans in boxing.
Oh and before you accuse me of running from the issues, search my damn posts or something. To be frank, it's about 7am here and I'm a little bit tired to be dealing with Floyd Mayweather's contingent of idiotic fans.
Good job. I'm proud of you. You are doing excellent.
I'm going to go eat some rice with chicken and fish to stay strong.
I will answer your questions and help you some more once I finish running some errands. Yes?
Thank you my friend , yes stay strong is good , renren you fix stutter if you grow strong , come back after you finish job you good boy .
If you don't see the fact that Arum is simply using those 'potential' fights as trying to gain leverage, and posturing for the real fight they are trying to make, you gotta pay a little more attention.
Bob Arum is attempting to play hard ball, by deeming the fight 'dead' and all that riff raff. He's a promoter, and he's a very intelligent man. No way in hell he lets this much money fall through the cracks over some bullshit.
Your picture very good calculation , but maybe they have plan for big fight later in year and this action more time for throw mud like WWE bring more viewers .
I like joke also my friend everybody like joke , but when never address problem your joke is trick to hide you no answer , yes ?
Good job. I'm proud of you. You are doing excellent.

He isn't even talking about fighting Mayweather, he talking about fighting Foreman, Paulie, and others. It's clear Pac don't want to fight Floyd. Shit go fight SSM. He rather fight washed up bums.
