Comments Thread For: Top Rank's Statement on Pacquiao-Mayweather Situation

[boxingfan76]

manny is the opposite of floyd in many ways he helps people is a peoples champ,hes humble, but hes handling this situation miserably and frankly mayweather is getting the best of him.

There is nothing new in this statement. The key point is that Pac will not submit to testing less than 30 days from the fight. Who conducts the test is a non-issue if he won't submit to random blood tests. There have been a lot of Olympic athletes who have been caught using performance-enhancing substances. If the doctor that Arum quoted is correct, it would have shown up in the urine test. However, the Olympic Committee still takes blood samples. They obviously do it because they know something that Arum's doctor doesn't know. There have been a lot of Olympic athletes who have been caught using performance-enhancing substances. Also, I have never heard of the Olympic Committee doing a blood test on an athlete 24 hours before a big contest.

I said it yesterday and I will say it again. I believe that Pacquaio will suddenly have a change of heart after the May elections and will agree to the blood tests. I think he wants an easy fight before the election to keep a loss from affecting his political ambitions.

i want to see mayweather lose as badly as anybody however not to pacman, its his *******s i cant stand ,theyrll all obnoxious,beligerent,inflamitory ,dont know **** about boxing only about pacman and theyre all the same chatroom after chatroom website after website,thread after thread.ignorant mofos.ive never rooted against a fighter based on his following till now.mayweathers smacktalk is innocent in comparison.

I respect both fighters, Mayweather solely for his talent and nothing else.

I respect Manny on many more fronts, his talent and willingness to take on challenges. I respect many other fighters for the same exact reasons I just described.

Floyd is immature and his flock happens to be even worse. No one takes this guy seriously when he opens his mouth, because he is insecure and defensive, he perceives persecution where it doesn't exist, using the race card to further his claims, he is full of ****. He's not liked because he's not a likable guy, it's not rocket science.

It's funny how he says if he was white he'd be further ahead, which is clearly nonsense. Sugar Ray Leonard was filming sprite commercials. Mayweather behaves boorishly. The only people who like Mayweather personally are those who can relate to his upbringing, that's a shallow pool if there ever was one.

hes soo dumb hes turned the entire boxing world against pacman for the moment dont think for a second people millions of fans arent having second thoughts about the pacman.mayweather maybe dumb but so far hes alot smarter than pacman in this situation.

He's so much smarter he's going to go fight Matthew Hatton, brilliant.

A physician with experience in the field of PEDs detection has already stated urine analysis is sufficient. I'm going to believe a man who attended medical school and has a valid education over a high school dropout/trainer and a son who reads at a 12th grade level.

I am going to believe the United States Anti-Doping Agency, which has a number of physicians on its payroll, knows a lot more about performance-enhancing drugs and has been testing significantly longer than the NBA and NFL, and the other agencies that Arum's doctor mentioned.

By the way, do you think a urine analysis was sufficient in the Marion Jones case? They conducted blood tests on her and still couldn't detect the substances she was taking!

[big_james10]

He's so much smarter he's going to go fight Matthew Hatton, brilliant.

And Pac will be fighting Yuri Foreman....in front of a lot fewer people. Brilliant!!!

This statement scares me, fight could really be in jeopardy, Arum doens't offer anything new here. The Mayweather camp is suspecting Pacquiao of taking Growth Hormones and those are only detectable threw blood test, and that only 48 hours after they were taken, you guys can check it out here:

So I have a bad feeling Mayweather will pull out since those urine tests have no value to him. He doens't want to risk going in the ring with a little Filipino hulk.

I don't care what they agree on I just want to see the fight a fair fight. this could ruin my holiday.

Why not reduce the number of random tests to like 2, just make this fight happen!

the mayweather camp are idiots to think mind games will work with manny and roach,there too clever for that.

and im glad finally a medically trained person has had some say in this,the mayweathers leanord elleby and golden boy no nothing about drug testing i bet,they just calling it out as to either avoid the fight,or play mind games and gain a cheap sly advantage somehow.

the fight will happen,in my mind floyd cant argue with what pacs willing to do already.


if he thinks hes the best then he should be able to beat anyone regardless of so called cheating or not!. shows how much confidence floyd has!,ha,hes so clearly insecure its embaressing,i mean hes got all the talent in the world,he doesnt need to be un sporting and un professional in the ways he is all the time!. grow a pair floyd and his camp!.

By the way, do you think a urine analysis was sufficient in the Marion Jones case? They conducted blood tests on her and still couldn't detect the substances she was taking!

She was taking the clear and there were no tests available for that substance at the time, however there is now. It was a designer steroid created at Balco Labs.

Most if not all of these labs have been shut down and the ones that are still in operation are subject to more stringent regulation in their respective states, with surprise visits regularly by the DEA. These labs are required by the state to keep and provide up to date books and records upon these visits.

I'm not saying it's not entirely possible to find a way around these tests, in fact I'm sure that possibility exists, boxing needs to get its priorities in order first and foremost, create a commission and then complain about testing and not just for one fight. My point is why didn't Mayweather ask for these type of tests before? Mosley even after taking steroids wasn't required to undergo Olympic style testing.

As it stands now Pac is adhering to the governing rules of the athletic commission in Nevada, not to the governing rules of Floyd Mayweather and his "customized" version of Olympic testing.

[rommel357]

all the terms are agreed on. if paquiao does'nt comply and throw away a huge payday like this then he and ariza are hiding something. even if pac fights someone else he'll still have to do this or answer alot of questions. can anyone say steriods.

Really, you've seen the actual contract. How do you know that they agreed on scheduled blood testing instead of a multiple random blood testing. HOw do you know that the contract did or did not stated blood test or no blood test or urine test only or both blood and urine test. Remember that we are all speculating, that is it, nothing more. You and I and everyone else in here don't know ****, so don't pretend or act like you know exactly what they agreed on. ONe of the reason why USADA cannot accomodate them because they only do random blood testing.
