Mayweather-Pacquiao in Jeopardy Over Drug Test - Merged Thread:

[rao007]

I think this is more BS from Mayweather camp. Let's see what the Pacquiao camp says.

[FLY TY]

FIRST OF ALL, the nevada state athletic commission has its own testing that they have used forever. they caught vargas with it. they caught chavez jr. taking some banned diuretic recently. and whomever else that has violated the banned substance policy.

there is NO REASON whatsoever that manny should be required to do olympic style testing. unless the NSAC wants to base their rationale on floyd sr's bull****. this is all head games. miguel cotto, ricky hatton, nor oscar dlh required that manny take extra testing.

floyds ass whooping is coming.

how about AGREEING to do the testing? is that reason enough?

I would too. But I would want something in return for it.

make sure it's 8 ounce gloves and a heavy penalty for going over 147.

[The Gambler1981]

what's the difference bet. taking the blood tests before the fight and taking it after the fight?

If you know when you are getting tested it is a lot easier to hide.

to be fair, manny is put in this position unjustly.

floyd's camp has been acting like he has been cheating even before any evidence presented itself. i understand how manny might feel uncomfortable in going through these tests, when nobody is required to do so. id think they will work things out eventually, if the source is true. the damage has already been done.

we are yet to hear manny's side on this issue.

I agree about the false accusations, they are malicious and Floyd Sr should be sued for defamation.

As far as the testing, I like it... this is the most important fight that I will personally witness live. The highest grossing fight, the biggest bragging rights, and the biggest PPV audience ever.

The only thing this does for me, is absolutely ensure, that this fight is 110% dead even fair on both sides.

Both fighters will undergo the same exact testing routine.

it's pretty much known that athletes are superstitious. they follow different type of rituals just to gain an edge that may never even be there. this might just be one of pacquiao's rituals.

like floyd said, for a fight of this magnitude, it's not unreasonable to want to make sure sportsmanship is at its highest caliber....

if floyd was really scared, he wouldn't have signed off on a 50-50 deal to get the fight done, when he really deserves the bigger split.....

its amazing how you *******s can come on here and defend manny for not wanting to be drug tested, and somehow turn this **** into floyd's fault.....

it doesn't show how good floyd thinks pac is, if anything floyd wants to make sure pac is NATURALLY as good as he looks.....i would cut you dudes some slack, if the drug testing thing was a stipulation for pacquiao only, but the fact that mayweather has signed on and agreed to be tested to, puts your argument to rest, and makes pac look bad, no matter how you *******s want to flip **** around.

and i don't get into the whole, "*******" name calling thing, but if ppl are gonna seriously get on here and defend a guy UNWILLING to be drug tested, he is willing. str8 afta

Truer words couldnt have been spoken. Many *******s have accused Floyd being juiced yet he is willing to take the tests which are similar to the State of California does to both boxers and MMA fighters. Also guys like Cintron and Malignaggi have made direct accusations. Why not say here is Mother-F$*cking blood i am Clean to the whole world? Is he more afraid of a needle or Mayweather?

[rao007]

I really don't believe this. I want to hear from Pacquiao camp themselves.

[Khalid X]

Like I said a long time ago...If I was team pacquiao I would just say fvk it..Fight someone at 154 for the title in March and then fight Mosley in the fall.

[THE REED]

it's pretty much known that athletes are superstitious. they follow different type of rituals just to gain an edge that may never even be there. this might just be one of pacquiao's rituals.

But is that reason enough to stop one of the biggest fight in the history of the sport?

Because it's a ritual?
