why would they go through wild card gym for? is there a ****cide that happened there or something. all counter investigations will render fruitless AS PACQUIAO is clean period. but as far as we know, lawsuit for libel and defamation is going ahead and if not a last warning to floyd's camp to shut it or get it.
To all the ignorants in the US who dont know the court of law. let me break it down for yah. It is not a mattter of guilty till proven innocent (we know that he is) but innocent till proven guilty. If you dont have solid evidence to support your allegations, then it's libel, slander and defamation. BINGO!Comment

Bottom line....get tested or shut the f@ ck up, if i were going after my chunk of 70 million they could blood test me after every round, i find it to be total bull **** that loss of blood before a fight can weaken a fighter, you mean to tell me manny never bleeds in a sparing session?????? Im not a huge fan of floyds, but if you have nothing to hide........take the test and kick his ass!! The entire world knows that floyd matweather will stomp the ****ing **** out of manny......(including manny and roach) this is (i feel) a way for them to either avoid the fight, or let enough time pass so what ever is in mannys blood not show up when they do decide to get his ass kicked!!! Look what he did to juan!!! And juan beat manny twice!!! Again, not a fan of floyds, but i go with the proof, not my heart....................wake up america, mannys a on drugs, he knows it, alex ariza knows it and now.........all of the world knows it. Who could you put in front of manny that we would pay $59.95 to watch on ppv? No one!!!!! He's a b class fighter at best. Freddie roach either puts old men or guys dead on the scale in front of manny, let manny fight a natural 147 lb fighter(bradley) and see how bad he gets his ass kicked..............mayweather, love it, ill retire after i bet my house and kids college money on a one sided asskickin. Wake up boxing world, manny isnt that good! --------------moralas (1st fight) moralas won, deylahoya (never won a fight that mattered)(ever) cooto (finished two fights before manny) hatton(mayweather already wrecked his heart)(sr.) juan.m marquez won both fights on pure boxing!!! (and we all saw what floyd did to him) lets not forget the fight with the marco antonio barerra(washed up after moralsa)...........show me one fighter that roach will let manny fight that isnt over the hill. Or dead on the scales!!! Lance armstrong (with one nutt) can endure olympic style testing......but manny cant? Give me a ****ing break. I say that if manny and floyd dont fight due to mannys not testing, we (all of the boxing fans) never ever pay or tune into another of his fights. What a slap in the faces of those that have made him so wealthy!!! **** him ( and the dog he ate)Comment

USADA is affiliated with Golden Boy Promotions! Why would Pac and his camp trust on this corruptible agency? Pac is not opposed to drug testing, even immediately after the fight, but Mayweather's camp is asking for too much, totally unprecedented in boxing history, makes me think they simply don't want this fight!Comment

Lol, the USADA is not affiliated with GBP. The only corrupt agency here is Top Rank. There is proof they've fixed fights, ex. DLH vs Mosley 2. FBI raided there offices and discovered this along with a bunch of other stuff. When was the last time the gov't felt the need to raid GBP?USADA is affiliated with Golden Boy Promotions!

While working as a boxing promoter, Arum had been involved in many feuds and controversies.
In 1994, he was involved with John Daly for the High Noon in Hong Kong boxing event. The fights were called off at the last minute when Barry Hearn withdrew his fighters as no purses were forthcoming. John Daly blamed Arum when he said, "I've tried desperately to convince my partners to keep the faith. I offered them as much security as I could but it was not quite good enough. It seems I was ready to take the shots, but Mr Arum wasn't."[2]
He has been involved in a forty year feud with Don King, who once called him a "rat fink" in 2000 for admitting during a federal trial that he bribed the International Boxing Federation president in order to gain a more favorable rating for one of his fighters. [1] [2]
He was penalized $125,000 by the Nevada State Athletic Commission in 1995 for a bribe to get one of his fights sanctioned.
In 2003, Arum complained about the judging in the Sept. 13 bout between Oscar De La Hoya and Sugar Shane Mosley and suggested there was a vendetta against him from a member of the Nevada State Commission that led to DeLa Hoya's loss. Arum later apologized for the remark which commission chairman Luther Mack accepted. [3]
On the first week of January 2004, FBI agents raided Arum's Top Rank office in Las Vegas. Arum was on vacation when his office was raided, and the FBI originally declined to comment on the raid. The media reported that the FBI was investigating allegations that Top Rank was involved in fixing the rematch between de la Hoya and Shane Mosley, even though De La Hoya lost and Arum was De La Hoya's promoter. The federal agency also announced that it was investigating some of Eric Esch's fights, as well as the Jorge Paez-Verdell Smith fight. The investigation closed in the summer of 2006 with no charges being filed.
In 2007, Floyd Mayweather Jr., who Arum promoted from 1996-2006, accused him of both underpaying and undermarketing him while exploting his talents and manipulating officials. [4]
In 2007, UFC president Dana White accused him of "sucking the life out of the sport (boxing) and not putting anything back in. " Amongst White's criticisms were that Arum had created a weak undercard for the DeLa Hoya-Mayweather fight in 2007 saying Arum did not promote the show correctly. "He promoted that show completely the wrong way, because he worried about the money as opposed to trying to secure the future," White said. "He should have stacked that card. He should have had Shane Mosley and Bernard Hopkins and (Marco Antonio) Barrera and Winky Wright on there and used it to show that boxing is back". Arum responded by saying that MMA fighters need to examine the revenues being generated and ask why the UFC wasn't paying the more. [5] [6]
Arum has been accused of being a racist by Robert Lee, the former president of the International Boxing Federation. Lee said of Arum "I pin the racism charge on him because he once told me: `We will let the Blacks and the Latinos fight in the ring and we will count the money on the outside'." [7]
Arum also filed a lawsuit HBO for overstepping its boundaries in the sport by becoming a defacto promoter while trying to intentionally eliminate him as a promoter. Arum complained that HBO dropped Floyd Mayweather Jr. from his exclusive deal after he insisted his fighter have a tougher bout than the network wanted. The suit was settled of court but Arum continued to criticize HBO by saying "Instead of working with promoters, like they have done in the past, they have become promoters themselves. They make the fights just like promoters and pay fighters," Arum said. "It's their money and they can do what they want, but Don King doesn't have to go along with it and neither do I. King and I can get along without HBO or Showtime."
In 2009, Arum defended Antonio Margarito when he lost his boxing license in the US state of California on charges of illegal handwraps [3], implied it was racially motivated and stated that Top Rank would not come back to the state of California until the issue was rectified [4].
In late-2009, Arum called UFC fans "skinhead white guys watching people in the ring who are (sic) also look like skinhead white guys." Bas Rutten accused him of racism for this remark ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-4R5UR_qeM&feature=related He also stated that MMA fighters are "guys rolling around like ****sexuals on the ground." [5] Earlier in the year, Arum described UFC President Dana White as "nuts" and "a little too much of a loose cannon" for White's use of a gay slur in reference to an MMA reporter.[6]
After failing to promote a Kelly Pavlik at Youngstown State University, Arum blamed the local college for the botched name and marketing job of the Pavlik Espino fight. Pavlik had continually ducked Paul Williams and lost local support. Arum however blamed the school who went out of their way to host the fight as the reason why, and took no responsibility for the botched marketing job. The Kelly Pavlik fight was the first fight with a world championship title on the line to fail to sell out in the Mahoning Valley.Comment

i hope pac could build a good legal case because if the court will favor him, it'll gonna be WIN, WIN & WIN situation:
1. pac can have a big payday without throwing a single punch, say 50M?
2. floyd got no choice but to fight anyone (no more ducking) to raise fund to pay the damages and bail out his dad. win for the boxing fans and no more gayweather.
3. floyd will have the balls and forget loosing his '0', fight anyone and show his greatness in boxing to prove that he's the best P4P - seal his name with ATG.Comment

Pacquaio has no lawsuit, it won't be filed and even if it were, he cannot win. So Hatton's daddy's opinion doesn't matter.Comment
