Comments Thread For: Golden Boy Backing off USADA For Mayweather-Pacquiao

[switchsouthpaw]

Dude you need some context.....

Floyd has been there for a long time but he has been relatively inactive....<--------------you just prove my point


Let me school you on some things....


Floyds first fight @ welter was with Judah. Cotto, Manny etc etc were @ 140 and 130-135 @ the time. Floyds second fight was with the recognised champ in Baldomir, who floyd copped a grilling for not fighting before judah. AS for Margarito he was offered 8mil. He was also offered 8 mil for Baldomir. Same money less risk and the champ. No boxer or their advisers would have chosen MArgarito.....thats just a plain fact.

Third fight was against ODLH. Again no fighter is going to go fight Mosley or Margarito or whomever you say floyd ducked when they can fight the cash cow and make 35 mil in one fight.

Floyd retires/takes a break.

Floyd comes back and fights Hatton. Again same argument as DLH. Who is going to fight Mosley or Cotto when you are being offered Hatton. Another cash cow.

Floyd retires again. 18 months this time.

Floyd takes a tune up against JMM (the man many say beat Manny twice) to position himself to fight another cash cow in Manny Pac. Again look at all the fighters trying to fight Pac.....malignaggi, bradley, foreman....any boxer and their dog wants manny right now...for $$$$$

This is floyds history @ WW. When Manny was moving up he did the same thing as floyd did. As soon as he got the opportunity he fought both Hatton and ODLH. He didn't go and fight Mosley now did he?? Want to know why?? The same reason floyd did......for the $$$$$$$$$$$.

Floyd isnt about to fight Mosley or Williams or whoever after a 2 yr layoff when he can fight JMM and position to fight Pacman. No fighter would. Neither did Pac. He didnt go fight Miosley or Williams....he went for DLH and Hatton then a crushed Cotto.......NOW FLOYD....money talks

You are wrong on many counts and right on a few. I'll touch on the minuscule amount that you actually got true...money talks, yes this is correct Mayweather is motivated and driven by money not to be great and it showed in your own statement, look at your post and what you wrote, that even though he has been a welterweight since 2005 he has been relatively inactive, that statement alone proves my point. How does a young fighter in his prime find himself relatively inactive, it's not as if he didn't have many options available to him, in fact quite the opposite he chose the lesser challenges in favor of money over legacy.

On November 19, 2005, Mayweather fought a non-title bout at 147 lb against welterweight Sharmba Mitchell. Since then he hasn't faced Cotto,Mosley or Margarito, PWill, Berto and anyone else with a pulse. Floyd was flogged for not fighting Baldomir first because Baldomir earned the opportunity and deserved the shot more than an underachiever in Zab Judah, not because Baldomir was some otherworldly talent.

You said Floyd wouldn't fight Pwill or anyone like that after 2 years, listen newsflash he wouldn't have fought then had he still been an active fighter and not retired anyway. It's one thing to respect and admire a man's talent, it's quite another to over-exaggerate their accomplishments.

The only point you've proven is that your boy fights for money taking lesser challenges in the process.

Personally? Not quite. But since you do interviews, then surely you can understand how I wouldn't link an article with my name on it? I post quite regularly on here. Anyway...you were real adamant about how I probably never brought up steroids until this controversy? Did you run your search yet? Are you ready to apologize? LOL

I would apologize if I was wrong lol. Either way I think I said that I believed you and that was many posts ago, we could keep going in circles or just agree to disagree, besides I'm not 5 years old, arguing in forums for extended periods of time when you're a grown up is the epitome of corny.

Nobody accuses pro athletes of being on or using any kind of PED's or whatever other brand name drug you want to call them.

BUT they're are required to undergo testing procedures to re-assure the committees, the organizations, the sponsors, and the paying public that
they are playing fair and square.

If they refuse to undergo established testing procedures, they must comply with whatever rules involving penalties, infractions, suspensions, or whatever their policies and procedures require of the athletes.

The argument that Manny is being accused without reason is nonsense when he must still undergo testing regardless what anybody thinks.

Your name fits you. the standard testing procedures are done by the state where the bout will be held, in this case the Nevada Athletic Commission. The USADA is an agency funded by the federal government to conduct testing for Olympic Athletes mostly amateures. Mayweather sr accused Pacman of being on roids/peds, and conspire with PBF to conduct this USADA. For PBF insisting an USADA conduct the test is an attestment that PBF believed that Pacman is on roids/peds. That goes with the GBP, Schaefer and ODH. Pacman will file the suit possibly after the fight. Then you will see that the allegation was false. Team Pacman's legal people will surely use the blogs in the internet as evidences, newspaper and the likes, along with the interviews. This will be a good case,because the amount of bad stuff coming out of these venues are really defaming. Mostly of the bloggers were calling him "cheaters" even though no evidences was presented by SR.

Bottom line pbf and team want the fight......it appears manny and roach do not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eric_Teaman]

LOOKS LIKE Money May and GBP need this fight more than MP and TR. Can you sense the givin in on the other side. I still think this is all a ploy.

Im curious what your argument will be when Floyd and Manny step into the ring.....and they will....because Floyd is not going to let a $50 mil payday slip away for anything.....blood testing or not.....

I just can't understand why Manny will not take any blood tests 30 days leading into the fight......i just can't understand it....

[trufightfanatic]

im sick of all this steroid b.s./just make da fight happen so we can here all the excuses as to why Floyd blew Manny out.ie:too big,too defensive,too cautious,wrong gloves and of course yall PBF haters will say hes too gay lol!

[iloveboxing2]

Some good points...but why did you not adress Manny fighting ODLH and Hatton....instead of say Mosley and Margarito....or Mosley and Berto, or Mosley and Willliams.....what about diaz @ 135???

Seems pac is taking lesser challenges???

i will reiterate $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
