[ESPN] Mayweather Has Agreed to the $10 Million per pound Penalty

[rommel357]

where the Pac fans at tho??? lol

Right here, and. I honestly think $10 million is ridiculous, but at the same time, after what Gayweather pulled on JMM, i don't blame Manny's camp. In regards to the drug test, again the issue is the blood testing that is even more ridiculous than this $10 million penalty. Do the basic Olympic drug testing and get it over with.

You ain't my daddy.... Are ya?

Has Pacquiao ever been caught usng steroids?

Did Mayweather fail to make a contracted weight in his last fight?

Let's move along then.

I don't know why you hate the knock out king. I can't understand it.

Yeah, they will fight. I've waited 10 years for Mayweather-Mosley, guess I can wait longer.


I am very surprised this has gone somewhat smoothly. A puny blood test is the only beef so far.

I was hoping there would be more.

Pac's team seem to be great negotiators so far.

he's a commie! and he is way overrated.



did they settle the gloves? 8 ouncers are more important to me than blood tests if i was pacquiao.



it's hard to play hardball with pacquiao , i doubt he even pays attention to all the threats/criticisms/demands.

why cant they just agreed with extraction of the blood sample right after the fight? are they expecting pacman to bleed dry during the bout? they could extract the blood right after the bell ending the fight.
these all boils down to one psychological war. why so much of concern with roids that were not detected in the previous fights? are mayweathers worried that they will not be able to execute their fight plans if mannys too strong? were they planning to knock pacman out? but is that floyds style? knocking people out?
or are they worried that pacmans is going to the fight so strong that floyds shoulders will be the first to be destroyed.
or this will prolly be nearer reason, they are worried that if pacmans on roids he can chase and catch up on floyds running around?
dang, for a vaunted defensive fighter and self proclaimed greatest of all time that speaks volume of how confident he is with himself.

Yeah it worked great with Hatton. Why should he just give in? You know they got more **** up their sleeve, and Pac laughs all the way to the bank.

I am surprised Mayweather just agreed to those stipulations on the weight so easily. I don't know man. I don't think his team is doing that great of a job this time around.

It's a business. You have to negotiate everything. If you don't, you're just being ******.
Who cares if one guy appears more macho than the other or wants the fight more.

If Pac says no to the tests,is Mayweather gonna back out and throw away 40 mils. Methinks, not.

It's just a little chess game now. Get what you can get on both sides, making sure you get the best deal possible.

I am sure both guys aren't scared of each other. That's just dumb to think that.

Here's the actual process from USADA. Doesn't say anything about a random multiple blood test.

As of January 1, 2009, please be aware of the following changes not currently reflected in the video links on the following pages.

1. Athletes will need to provide at least 90mLs of urine.
2. Prior to providing the sample, the athlete must rinse his/her hands with water only.
3. After the sample has been collected, urine will first be poured into the B bottle and the remaining urine will be poured into the A bottle.
4. pH will no longer be measured.
5. Athletes will be required to provide whereabouts information and updates on a Whereabouts Filing rather than providing information on an Athlete Location Form.
6. Athletes will be asked to declare blood transfusions within the last six (6) months, medications and/or other substances taken in the last three (3) days (including vitamins, minerals, herbs, proteins, amino acids and other dietary supplements); Local injection(s) of glucocorticosteroids in the last two (2) months; Use of inhaler(s) in last three (3) days; and/or current The****utic Use Exemption(s).
