PAKYO

Was his published in Los Angeles Times? The big fight: Pacquiao-Mayweather saga gets sappier .... Pacquiao is the most recent reincarnation of Rocky Marciano or Joe Louis. In his last half-dozen fights, opponents have come, puffed up their chests, talked trash and left battered and bagged. Boxing calls him the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. He is its biggest attraction, biggest name, biggest everything. Beyond boxing, he is also bit of a pied piper. He was elected to the Philippines Congress in May of 2010, and, for all appearances, has made good on many of his election promises to help the poor and needy. Just last week, he used his role as a spokesman for Hewlett-Packard to get a donation of 2,000 computers to the schools of his district in the southern Philippine province of Sarangani. If Mayweather Jr has similar saintly tendencies, they aren't as apparent. That is, unless the poor and needy of his hometown of Las Vegas get their charitable contributions at casino nightclubs. Still, his 41-0 record in the ring speaks to boxing fans, who can find a way to ignore arrogance and quarterly run-ins with police and security guards as long as his fists and feet are still fast. Complete article... That last two paragraph was too funny i guffawed! :lol1:

I know both boxers have agreed to submit theirselves to a more stringent random OST as per their contract. I tried searching some articles here regarding the stipulations with this kind of test as this may become a good precedence of things to come in the sport so please bear with me if i ask the following: 1. Since this is a random test, until when will the testing be conducted? Is there a cutoff date, maximum number of times the test should be done, and is the test extended until right after the fight? 2. Did both camp agree to have their results be published or announced each time they took a test? 3. What happens if the test is positive to either or both, will it mean the fight gets cancelled and the offender gets suspended from boxing? 4. Since the agency conducting the test is a private entity, do they they have the power to instill punitive action or penalties to a boxer that is found positive? 5. Have any random test taken place yet? The fight is only 4 weeks away but until now there's no news if how many times or if they already did. 6. Do you think they should be as transparent with it now so as to quash any more doubts that it is just a ploy of Floyd to scuttle his fight with Manny? Would love to hear from you guys if you have heard any news regarding this as i believe only good can come out of this if the participants really is honest on spearheading in cleaning the sport.

I'm not going to pay ANY more PPV with a boxing match that has a boxer in it who focus too much in defense! Sheyt! Sheyt! Sheyt! :banghead: At first i was of double mind if i will buy the mosley-floyd this May 1 but after watching yesterday's fight...naaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. PAKYOOOOOOOOOOO! It's just going to be the same boring ass fight with floyd running all over the ring again too, i'm sure! What's happening to the boxers of today??? We PAID to get entertained watching you people slug each other to death but what??? There's just too many of you now who clams up like a shell or either runs around the ring and just potshot and don't box! You should be ashamed getting there in the ring if you're not going to box and getting a mill of it from our pockets! GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY!@@^#* Damn, my head still aching from all that alcohol...

Why would this guy say that the american public should support the way they support the troops? These soldiers have shed blood, sweat and tears just to defend the great american way of life. They never complained even if their buddies get blown to pieces right in front of their own eyes on even losing their limbs just to defend the honor of the great US of A. How about Floyd? What has he done to make him say that he needs support from the Americans? Did he risk his life and limb in exchange for a fistful of dollars just as the gallant US soldiers has? Has he ever done in the sports of boxing that you can truely say he did it out of honor and love for the sport? So how the hell can he say to the people he needs supports when he has never taken risks at all and he even earned MILLIONS out of it while the US is reeling in the reccession? How about the US toops who is toiling in the desert and jungles, how much are they getting just to defend floyd's way of life? Does it reach even in the hundred of thousand of dollars? So why do this guy FLOYD compare himself to the valiant soldiers who he even shits on as i'm sure are also fans boxings? The gall this floyd has...

Why? All your fans, the boxing fans, the casual fans, and even a few flomos says a 50/50 purse split with no catchweight @147 is the right deal. No less no more. So what's the hold-up floyd? You can't say those excuses anymore as what you've always said before and contradicting it later on also so why? When you challenged Pac to step up on the plate you said he'll get it, now that Pac's stepping it up and asked you to step on it too why haven't we heard anything from you yet? Damnit floyd, it's really gettin awfully quite in here. Why don't you just announce that..... ...you are gay. I'd become your fan instantly once you say it.
