I'm so disappointed in some of the fight fans... not really disappointed in Arum because I already knew he was unethical and a dinosaur in the sport and disappointed in pac. So the biggest fight of the decade will not go down because of a random drug test. And don't tell me that them choosing when they want the tests to go down is reasonable because its not and don't tell me that their concerns of being weakened by the miniscule amount of blood needed for a test is reasonable because its not. I don't know if manny is just simply ignorant to that or if its bull **** but for this fight to be replaced by Mayweather-Hatton and/or malinaggi-pac is just unacceptable. I think it was definately a ploy to get in pac's head but intentions aside mayweather has the moral high road in this but from what I hear pac fans are still buying into Arums bull **** and giving manny no accountability for this and its just a sad day for boxing... it really is. With the demands that manny has made in his past this should have been a quick deal.
Wouldn't you have an issue with your opponent deciding who tests you ?

You say this as if the Olympics aren't full of juicers getting away with it. If anybody was to know anything about PEDs it would be Victor Conte, and he says an overwhelming majority of athletes are on drugs. The main issue here isn't the testing itself, it's when it will end. The USADA doesn't change it's policy for anyone, so they can't guarantee there won't be testing on fight night. If Mayweather and GBP is really acting for a noble cause, then what's wrong with using an agency that will do random blood tests but can officially say that there wouldn't be a test on fight night. That's a reasonable compromise IMO but Mayweather knows they won't go for the USADA. If the random bloodtesting is all they care about then it shouldn't matter if the USADA does it or not.Ugh. It's the ****ing USADA. It's what they do. The program that tests pro basebal and football players is doing a terrible job. Hardly any baseball players have been nailed by testing, they all get brought down by paper work. Hardly any football players ever get dinged by testing, and there's no way none of those guys are juicing. USADA is much better than them, I really don't know why people aren't in support of tougher drug testing. For the sake of the sport.
And to whoever said Pac is ruining the sport, you've gotta be kidding me. Because of Pacquiao, boxing is mainstream and making headlines again. If you're truly a boxing fan then you should be grateful for Pacquiao. Plus Mayweather is casting a black cloud over boxing. With these demands he's saying the NSAC is worthless and boxing could possibly be plagued by cheaters. He's pretty much acting like Canseco right now and look what has happened to baseball since. So tell me who's hurting boxing as a whole?Comment

but Manny is the one who walked away from the fight and trying to fight someone else Mayweather just said agree to the testing and we would have a fight but Pac can't even do that why not? if your clean why does it matter?Comment

So are the agencies that test NFL players and we all know how strict the MLB is these days.
Do you really think Mo**ey Mayweather is in the business of being fair ?Comment

Do some research on the USADA and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. They are very trustworthy and the most thorough of all the American anti-doping organisations.
I would post some stuff myself but I'm off to bed. Merry Christmas.Comment

Why is it that everyone is so biased in some way? Either people are standing up for Manny or they are completely labeling Manny without any evidence.Lets see if I was one of the biggest names in boxing and I could take a thorough test and possibly be a leader and example to the whole sport......nah I would just turn down over 25 Million and let other fighters continue to train on steroids, cleanse 3-4 days before the fight and continue to ruin the sport.Comment

Why do you keep talking about Floyd?
USADA is running the tests, they're a neutral organization and they handle thousands of standardized random testing for a multitude of athletes, with hardly a complaint.
Yet, this isn't good enough for you?
Please tell me how USADA is somehow a bad thing.Comment
