Olympic testing is a joke. Man up Mayweather management

[MOREBASS]

Changing the style of the testing for a fight of this magnatude removes all doubt in the ring, and after the fight happens. Like i said, manny and his team have gotten whatever they wanted for the last 4 years, this is negotiating, mayweahter agreed to the new date, 10million per pound overweight (which is ****ing insane), manny agrees to his test and possibly negotiates when they take blood.

Its a negotiation, while other morons would suggest mayweather is trying to get out of the fight, which is ****** since mayweather has 0 history of pulling out of fights when they are this close. He also doesnt make negotiations very difficult. Like i said, Manny has had every ****ing advantage he could possibly have from money, to weight, this and that, this is the one time hell be dealing with a fighter who is on his level of popularity and leverage. He has to give in at some point to the date that blood gets drawn.

No way in hell Mayweather is trying to get out of this fight. Too much money on the table win, lose, or draw.

Gain a mental edge?

Hell yeah, but he's known for doing that.


I see where you're coming from with the testing. Half of the blame goes on Team Pacquiao for 'agreeing' to Olympic style testing. Not 100% sure if they even did, being that no paperwork has been signed, but I guess we have to take everything with a grain of salt.


Hopefully they can work out a schedule of testing that wont affect Manny mentally (I strongly doubt that a blood test is doing anything to him physically) because if they don't...please believe that a Floyd victory will forever be tarnished in the eyes of a lot of people.

well,honestly the only thing i want is a fair fight.let the best boxer win.this is going to be huge.so i think Pac should take those tests.

[R.Winky Wright]

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.

what makes any athlete stand above a president of fair sportsmanship?

[angelgargola]

the only ones that don't want this fight to happen is Bob Arum and team Pac,they are afraid of what the tests may expose.they are trying to pull out now.

[andotsky]

Bottomline...Unfortunately over the last year or so, many people have suspected Manny of using PEDs...and because of being suspected, he's being asked to take this type of testing...

If both fighters are agreeing to the testing - I don't know what's the big deal???

Mayweather agreed to the 10 million, if he's overweight???

To me...This is all postering...

there's no reason why mayweather shouldn't agree you dumb ****, he asked for this test...and to clear his name, pacquiao dead agree to take the test, just not 2 days before the fight coz it would have some mental impact on him. .

[Calza appy]

If the fight doesnt happen eveyone must boycott PBFs next PPV event. Im sure it will tho.

[andotsky]

So ****ing what if neither test is foolproof? One of them is primitive while the other one, at the very least, is a START. Not giving in to Floyd's demands? The irony of a Pacquiao apologist spewing this crap. If you agree to OLYMPIC STYLED TESTING, THEN YOU AGREE. You can't decide when and which tests you'd like to take, wtf? That's PACQUIAO STYLED TESTING. Jesus Christ, you clowns disgust me. Luckily, most of you will disappear when he retired because you damn sure aren't boxing fans.

there is already a standard for testing you ****. and we have to change it because some family of crackheads said so? and you dare call yourself a boxing fan???

[andotsky]

Really? Why don't you argue with Margaret Goodman since she seems to disagree with you. Maybe you can tell her all about your boxing knowledge and how she doesn't know squat. Read EACH word carefully and let it soak in - I even bolded some for your dumb a**:

“Most states don’t test for steroids,” says Dr. Margaret Goodman, former Nevada Chief Ringside Physician and Chairman of the Nevada State Athletic Commission Medical Advisory Board. “In Nevada, we test fighters on championship cards. In New Jersey, they test every fighter for steroids. If we’d do what’s done in the Olympics or what the World Anti-Doping Agency recommends – sporadically test them during training – that would really be the best way. But if you check them right before or after a fight, they’ll test negative. Boxers are just as smart as anyone else and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to go online and look at how long a certain drug stays in your system.”

and pacquiao already agreed to that, just not 2 days b4 the fight, didn't he?

the system has been flawed for years....whenever u know when a test is going to take place u can work around it...and urine tests are pathetic

For Manny to go the extra mile with the testing for one of the biggest, if not THE biggest fight of the decade in my opinion is not too much to ask. And despite what others say, this can be turned into a positive for Pacquiao considering all the steroid rumors surfacing after his annihilation of Cotto. He now has an unprescedented opportunity to silence all of those critics and proceed with making 30 million in his pocket. A man who has nothing to fear and is clean should have no problem subjecting himself to such a minor inconvenience. Good things may even come out from this type of testing in future fights and it may usher in a new era that may further clean up our beloved sport. I'm all for it. Do it Pac, and silence all the critics once and for all. Be the hero we all want you to be, cornyness aside.
