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

[switchsouthpaw]

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....

I could care less about money arguments. People who use money arguments as evidence of greatness are just empty suits.

No wonder Mayweather hangs out with 50 cent so much, a rapper who says "I'm great because I sell a lot of records". I'm more of Nas and Jay kind of guy, real lyrical talent but not as many records sold. I respect real talent and real use of that talent, otherwise it's simply wasted talent.

ALSO FOR THE RECORD MANNY HAS NOT AGREED TO ANY BLOOD TESTING IN THE 30 DAYS LEADING INTO THE FIGHT.......SO FAR

He said his specifications were blood testing on those days. However, they are willing to take more tests within that 30-day window.

Side note: Can anyone link me to the contract negotiations where Manny supposedly agreed to have random testing under USADA?

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.

Agree to disagree on what? You think the NSAC standards are ok? Because that was the issue before you started questioning how much I talk about steroids.

Im not saying money = greatness.......im saying it explains Manny and FLoyds choice of opponents at welterweight and jr welter (for Pac)....If you look at resumes @ welter....sugar shane has everyone covered............


Thats all........and Jay z and particularly Nas smoke 50 cent any day of the week....no argument there..........

You misread Pacquiao's statement. He said his specifications were blood testing on those days. However, they are willing to take more tests within that 30-day window.

reasonably sure they prob can't as i don't think it exists.......

GBP is already losing control. Manny can walk away and fight another fighter. HBO, GBP, Boxing fans, leagcy whatever. Right now, he is fighting for his integrity and in court. Which means, there is going to be money coming somewhere else and it's coming from GBP's pocket books. Look, You got Schaefer backtracking already. Wait for a few more days and you'll get more of the same. Manny is sticking to his guns and rightfully so. Mayweather can fight 5 fights to get the same for ONE.

Now we'll see who is going to move when playing "chicken". I got my bet on PBF.

Very good. It will be exciting to see the fight after all and a "kicker" the law suit. If the fight happens, then it will proved that Pacman is clean. A Pacman's loss would be beneficial to Pacman, because he can use that as one of the factor in losing the fight. The settlement will be humungous. This site will help Pacman's case.

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 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Ugh because one guy has been there for 5 years and the other just got there recently??? At Pac's second fight at welterweight he fought a top welterweight in Cotto. He went straight from Oscar De La Hoya to Miguel Cotto a top weltweight, contrast that with Mayweather who fought at the welterweight limit against Sharmbe Mitchell and followed that up with the ultimate underachiever in Zab Judah.

Again...yes I'm fine with the current testing methods.

this will prob interest most people...........


In particular, ****m Richardson has some interesting things to say to those who think Mayweather is too big for Pacquiao.

Brother ****m Richardson:
Oh, I don’t mess with that stuff man. Now in the last couple fights they asked me to pick. I called them and I picked the right guy. But my thing is this man: Everybody at this level can fight, everybody is special up at that level. So your queen can’t do more than my queen, your rook doesn’t move in a way my rook doesn’t move. It’s going to be the strategy employed that makes the difference

Now, I’m gonna tell you, though. From Floyd’s perspective: the minute you start talking about how small Pacquiao is, you’re beat. I told Shane, “if you fight him, if anybody in the camp calls you bigger than Pacquiao, I’ll put them out of the camp.”

Because that’s just media ****. Every time they mention Pacquiao they mention he started at 106 lbs. Well, hot damn, all of us at one time were under 25lbs! I got up to be over 300 lbs, but one time I was under 25 lbs. Why do they talk like that, “You know he started his career at 106.”

But they keep bringing it up and I told them the same thing; the greatest trick the devil ever did was convince the world he didn’t exist. The greatest trick that Pacquiao ever did was convince you all that he was a small man! And he’s going to keep beating the **** out of people who keep thinking he’s a small man. At 147 lbs., Pacquiao is a small man like Mike Tyson was a small heavyweight!

Was Mike Tyson a small heavyweight? Well, he was a pretty short heavyweight, but short and small are two different things. As long as they keep believing that they’ll get beat. Cotto did that though the first couple of rounds. He hit Pacquiao the first couple of rounds and Pacquiao stood there, and Cotto is like, what? He gonna stay there a little longer.





I don't think floyd will treat manny like a sall guy
i did say on youtube somewhere before cotto fight with manny the measurements were all the same....the only place cotto was bigger was height and waistline

Do you want to fight Manny Pacquiao?

FMJ: I would like to thank Reebok.

Do you want to fight Shane Mosley?

FMJ: This is my time to shine.

Do you want to fight Antonio Margarito, Miguel Cotto, anyone that seems dangerous enough?

FMJ: I have to talk to my promotional team.

Do you want to fight a blown lightweight in JMM?

FMJ: Hell yeah! Anytime, anywhere... Where do I sign? I am willing to make a compromise on a catchweight (I aint going to try to make it anyway).

LOL. That really defines FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR.
