Promoter balked at blood testing for Mosley in 2008

[Maidana vs Rios]

"I do hope it is some sort of miscommunication and that Pacquiao is not even aware of what is going on and he will clear this up and say what is good enough for these great Olympic athletes is good enough for him and Floyd, and he agrees to do these drug tests.

"Team Mayweather is very surprised that an elite athlete like Manny Pacquiao would refuse drug testing procedures which Floyd has already agreed to and have been agreed to by many other top athletes. Why would Pacquiao refuse to have the same kind of testing that Lance Armstrong, Michael Phelps, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant have had?"

pacquiao camp and mayweather camp are a bunch of hypocrites

pacquiao camp changed the rules for his fight against cotto. cotto had the right to come in at 147 for his wbo belt. yet pacquiao being hard headed about making that joke record about 7 championships in 7 divisions, he didnt budge and wanted the fight to be at 145 for cotto's belt. this **** went on for a week or so where both sides didnt want that but eventually somebody caved and that was cotto. the rules were changed so pacquiao talking about mayweather changing the rules give me a break!! pacquiao you did the same damn thing to get that joke record of 7 championships in 7 divisions.

i know i will get the "but catchweight championship fights have been done before and this type of blood testing has not"

there is a first time for somethings and this is one of them. hell maybe this type of **** happened when the first championship catchweight fight happened or maybe it didnt but the point is that the **** happened first at some point in history.

schaefer also is a hypocrite when he said that mosley wouldnt take any blood test when judah asked mosley to take blood tests however though i must acknowledge that shaefer is just the messenger and the real guys behind the blood testing are haymon, ellerbe, and the mayweathers. then the mayweathers talk about a level playing field while mayweather didnt even want to try to make weight against marquez lol.

both camps are hypocrites but in the end i have to side on the IOC testing because the damage has already been done to pacquiao from a casual fan standpoint. he must now take the test to clear his name and make the huge fight happen. basically this is what happened in terms of damage to pacquiao now

casual fan: pacquiao is hiding something
boxing freaks: pacquiao is hiding something/mayweather is ducking another challenge

Ive already responded to it numerous times. How can people call Schaffer and GBP hypocrites when its not them? Do you think they really care about this drug test? Scheffar dont care nothing at all about it. Its all Senior, Haymor, and Ellerbe. If thats what they want then thats what Richard has to do. Dont act like GBP is going for a which hunt against Pac. They could care less. They want there money but if Floyd wont do it then Floyd wont do it. You think they can go against him? I bet anything that the Olympic testing never even crossed there mind one single time until Floyd's camp brought it up. They tell Richard what they want and he has to say it.

He was just on record yesterday talking about Arum's counter offer and how he will try to sell his side on it. He dont care. He just wants to make a deal. You cant blame him or GBP at all. Its what Senior, Ellerbe, and Haymon want for there guy. Youre not dealing with kids here. All those guys have been around the fight game forever and they all know the pros and cons of there actions. Therfore, if they want this no matter what then thats what Schaffer has to do, period. Dont try to single him & GBP out though like he is being a hyprocrite. Thats dumb. BTW, this article is old. Thats why no one is responding. There has been threads about this for about the last 3 days.

exactly, shaefer is just the messenger.

lol epic fail with this thread
