If Mayweather refused testing, you all would be calling Floyd dirty

[dans]

Let's flip it around. Let's say Floyd was the one refusing to do testing that Manny's people request.

A lot of you would be calling Floyd a cheater and a steroid user. You would say, Floyd's ducking the fight because he's hiding something or he doesn't want to fight Pacquiao.

But somehow, when Manny refuses testing, it's Floyd's fault and Floyd is trying to duck. Whaaaa??? If I told you to take a drug test before I hired you for a job, and you said no, what would that tell me? Either you are hiding something or you don't want the job. If your employer asked you for a drug test, and you said no, would that mean the employer is trying to not hire you? Like it's some way of avoiding? No. It's because they have money at stake and they want to ensure you're clean and won't be a liability.

People need to get their heads on straight and look at this from an unbiased point of view.

Anyway, this fight will get done. So relax.

Flip it around whichever way you prefer, I still don't care. Either get in the ring or don't. I'm tired of this ****.

i SA with both of you.....

i SA with both of you.....

The bias has almost gotten ridiculous. If Manny tests positive, I guarentee you people will still take his side and blame Floyd somehow.

I don't really care for either fighter, but the double standards are outrageous. Floyd has agreed to every Pacquiao demand, yet somehow he's the villian.

The thing that drives me crazy is that I don't think either fighter is trying to duck the other, I don't think either fighter is on roids, and I don't think either fighter is not gonna make weight.

I just think this is the two biggest names in boxing beating their chests, trying to get a tiny mental edge. All it's really doing is detracting from the fight itself and possibly endangering it.

Just get in the ring. For once in your careers, just get in the ring. Don't worry about money, or ring size, or catch weights, or blood tests, or venues. Just get in the ring this one time and fight. The fight is worth more to your legacies and the happiness of your fans than anything else.

Nobody's refusing the random drug test, Team Pacman just doesn't want it close to fight night, or at least 3 days before the fight. They are even willing to do it right after the fight, what's the difference?

Great post. Even with this latest developement, the negotiations haven't been as painful as Cotto-Pacquiao, because this fight makes itself.

yea, i was talking about this, when the news broke...i can't imagine the tone of the threads if it was floyd refusing the testing.

True. But unlike the Cotto fight Pac isn't necessarily the bigger draw. He doesn't have that edge on the negotiations. So while this latest development might not be the thing that kills this fight, it's definitely not going to be the last development that threatens to.

Of all of the contract drama I can remember, this is the one that is bothering me the most. Boxing has been in such dire straights for a while now, it blows my mind that when you have the opportunity for a fight that could go down as one of the ATGs you have this much nonsense in the contracts. Then again, this is boxing.

I'm gonna go watch The Great White Hype and drink myself to sleep until March 13th.
