Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr: "I Was Right About Manny Pacquiao"

[angelgargola]

Now i know why some people were talking about weird performance enhancing drugs.

Everyone have a look at this quote from the article

"Pacquiao is only willing to go let his blood get drawn around the time of the January press conference to announce the fight - and after the actual fight is over."

Are all the pac haters looking over this? It seems to me there just throwing out there every possible thing they can to not make this fight NOT happen. Mayweather just fight the dam man, and quit acting like a little B already.

You think PAC needs Floyd boy? Arum, Roach and the whole Team PAC is ready to walk away. On the other hand, Mayweather is bound for England to be back fighting bums can he aint never gonna get it on with the big welters. He he he...

Yes! Pac does need Floyd boy,just like Floyd jr needs Manny boy.It's very simple....If your clean then take the test.Manny has a needle phobia but has tattoos?then he states that it will weaken him lol.Manny better wake up and come to his senses.

Im wit you on that one man, lets hope he takes the test OR give the best excuse to see if it would make any sense. Man if this dont happen, i feel sorry for Cotto, he has gotten so much bad luck and the beating in them.

You know I also feel unconfortable about Cotto Marg fight. Just the possibility that there might of been loaded gloves I find disturbing as well. I can no longer enjoy rewatching the fight as I use too. Am not saying Marg is guilty in the cotto fight, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it either.

Yeah why not agree to the tests if he's so clean.. Arum claims he has a "needle phobia"??? Ummm doesn't manny have several tattoos?

Man, do you know the difference between a needle directed to your veins while taking blood out of your body and a needle used to simply take a skin-deep part of your arm/body?

I lost the link, because I've visited about 16 articles since hearing about this, so better to cross reference all the nonsense that is coming out. I copied and pasted this to e.mail to a friend, but its from some article that seemed worthwhile:



Fighters, though, are not routinely tested before bouts for performance-enhancing drugs, and there are no blood tests done for those drugs.

Mayweather’s father, Floyd Sr., said after the Cotto fight that he suspected Pacquiao was using performance-enhancing drugs to move up and win titles in so many weight classes. Ellerbe did not make that claim, but said that for a fight of such magnitude fans deserve to be confident neither fighter is cheating.

“If it’s good enough for LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Michael Phelps and Lance Armstrong why isn’t it good enough for Manny Pacquiao?” Ellerbe asked. “The fans and sports deserve a level playing field.”

Travis Tygart, executive director of the USADA, said he had talked to representatives of both fighters about providing testing. Tygart said he welcomed the request as he would for any sport that does not have stringent Olympic-type testing.

“I think every sport that wants to have clean athletes it’s a sign of a step forward to have out of competition testing,” Tygart said. “It’s an essential thing to do if you want to protect the integrity of the sport. Clean athletes want a level playing field.”

Tygart noted Olympic athletes are tested often and without notice. He said less than a teaspoon of blood is removed out of an average of 380 teaspoons in the normal human and that it regenerates within an hour of being withdrawn.

Blood tests, he said, can find things urine tests can’t, like the use of human growth hormone, synthetic hemoglobin or blood transfusions, all of which “certainly would aid in an endurance-type event.”

Ellerbe said he couldn’t imagine why Pacquiao wouldn’t agree, especially considering both fighters would likely make more than $25 million for the bout.

“Only Manny Pacquiao can answer that question,” Ellerbe said. “The ball is in his court.”

That means all those professional boxers who never tested using this Olympic style of drug testing are all suspected steroid-users or HGH users?

If that's your logic, then the NSAC should be scrapped since they don't employ this kind of drug testing highly recommended by the Mayweathers!

[gratz_the_king]

They are trying to weaken Pacquiao that is why, hell taking blood from you hurts and it weakens you. If any of you ever gotten blood taken from you, you feel sick and dizzy for a day or two depending on how much blood they take.

making excuses like a ***** lmao

ive had blood taken from me numerous times.. ALOT of blood actually, probably way more than they are asking to take from pac, and it makes NO difference in how i feel afterwards. i just drink some orange juice and im 100% again

lol ..pac is a ****in roid using cheater...he should be banned from boxing

Now i know why some people were talking about weird performance enhancing drugs.

Tell that to all professional boxers who never were tested with this Olympic style of drug testing recommended by Mayweathers!

Wouldn't that suck for Cotto if the two fights he lost were against a guy with loaded gloves and a roided out little freak.
