Olympic testing is a joke. Man up Mayweather management

[angelgargola]

verdugo: LIke I said before, FLoyd will find a way out of this fight.
He's a coward.

are you for real?? you think that agreeing to a 10 millions for pound penalty is a smart way to find a way out of this fight??? now it is ridiculous to get out of this fight with the excuse of the blood tests.who's the coward here?

[MOREBASS]

Either you're a fan of the sport or a fan of the fighter. Pick one. there is a lot of fans of the(Pac)fighter here obviously.

Um, no.

Who says you have to pick a side?

I've said this time and time again. So called 'fans of the sport' would have brought this issue up long ago.

Go ahead and use the Search tool and see how many Boxingscene posters you can find lobbying for USADA testing.


I'm a fan of the sport, and both fighters, but honestly the additional testing is unprecedented. Period.

Yeah, credible sources. What would be credible to you? Since Malignaggi isn't? Maybe if Pacquiao came out and said he did it, then you would believe it? How about we do Olympic Style Testi...oh wait. My friend, I'm here to inform you that this rumor has been going around since forever - long before Mayweather Sr spoke. Why wasn't it made public before? Because no one wants to be the rat who brings down the sport. But Floyd Sr could give two ****s, really. Listen, I think (reading your second paragraph) that you are reaching for a reason to justify why Pacquiao wouldn't agree to this testing. If it isn't obvious to you what's going on...brother, I can't help you.

How can Malignaggi be a credible source to me, when its pretty obvious that Pac's win over Cotto and Hatton makes him look bad. I mean if there is no agenda to jump in the steroid bandwagon then I dont know what it is.

And rumors are spread easily in boxing, any journalist/bloggist would have already caught that up and posted in the net. And guys like us would have already made a million thread about it. Nope this thing started from the Floyd camp..

I am not overreaching, the test is nothing more than a ploy to make Pac come in less than 100% by disrupting his training routine with the Test. Floyd Sr. initial allegation is nothing more than a setup for the Mayweather camp to demand the Olympic Test for the fight. That one is pretty obvious to me...

[IMDAZED]

No one here is qualified to say why they are refusing to test, but the fact that this is just another part of the negotiations, and we couldn't have expected things to just fall into place that easily.

Not with a fight of this magnitude, and definitely not with these two fighters.

Just look at their past few fights, and all of the hooplah in the negotiations in those fights.

Unfortunately, this is not the case here. Both agreed to Olympic Styled Testing so why is one of them trying to change the protocol? If both agreed and went through with it, this would be a non-issue. And the Mayweather's would look like idiots. The only reason we're even discussing this is because one of the participants has gotten cold feet

Bud...for the last time, this rumor DID spread. No one wanted to say it publically until big mouth Floyd said it. That's all. It's like everyone in baseball knew roids were a problem but no one wanted to say anything because they felt it would harm the sport. It took Jose Canseco - another a**hole in his own sport- to come out and say it. THe most unlikely of peoples, eh?

Amen to that.

You're right about that.

I'm not 100% positive if it was just submitting the the blood to the World Anti-Doping Agency, or the frequency/timing of the tests...

But I do remember hearing/reading that Team Pacquiao had agreed to the additional testing.

Eh, take the tests and fight.

There really isn't another way out of it now without having to escape some real scrutiny for Pacquiao.

[el malo]

The fighters can be expected to experience eight to ten random urine tests and five to six random blood tests in the ten weeks leading up to the fight

five to six randomly times your blood would be taken. How many of you hate to have it taken just once every few years? Imagine it having to be taken out of you six times in less than 3 months.

If it isnt one thing it is another with this management team. Notice i blame his management, not May himself.

Floyd is also gonna take the tests, I don't see why manny can't do it too.

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

Of course he will be taking the same tests...he's the one who is demanding the tests to be done.


You are an idiot if you don't see that Team Mayweather is just trying to get into Manny's head and get him out of his normal mental state.


If Team Pacquiao complies, then it is like bending over and saying 'Sure, have it your way'


The Nevada State Athletic Commission's drug testing has never been in question, so why feel the need to seek a 2nd opinion?

Theres a big difference between random tests and scheduled Nevada tests.

Looks like lil Pacman has something to hide.
