Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs. Pacquiao: Top Rank Makes Final Offer

[jrosales13]

try to make a actual POINT. in the statement that u replied to, i said that what idiot would pass up 40 to 75 mil because of a test unless he's UNCLEAN and juicing. what idiot would pass up the biggest fight in history unless he's anything BUT clean. i think with my BRAIN and not by my heart. pac camp boasted that they will take ANY TEST known to man and then CRIED when it was a random blood test. the evidence leads me to believe that pac is on something....

If he is juicing and is the biggest fight i history and 40-75mil why not just stop juicing and fight the biggest fight in history, make your 40-75mil and laugh all the way to the bank. Why not just do that if he is juicing? Maybe just maybe is not about the money, maybe just maybe he feels a little disrespected, could that be it by any chance?

It is not singling out a fighter, it is singling out a fight. Floyd would be getting tested also so Manny would not be alone in getting tested, it would be the two premier boxers getting tested. One wanted it the other strongly disagreed.

No athlete is above using PED I do not care who they are or what they seem to be, any athlte who strongly fights better testing is a huge red flag.

I do not see anything wrong with what was asked, and Manny can say no but turning down the biggest fight in atleast a decade over stronger drug testing is not a very good look.

Who was asked to the blood test? Was Floyd asked or was Pac asked?

Top Rank's Bob Arum has made a final counter-offer to save the March 13 fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. If Golden Boy Promotions does not accept his counter, he plans to move forward with finalizing a deal to have former junior welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi step in as the replacement for Mayweather on the March date. Arum has give Golden Boy a Monday deadline. [Click Here To Read More]

Arum knows that the NSAC is gonna be very bias towards him and there`s a good chance that they wont require blood in the testing, or not gonna require a random test ,or gonna have a cutoff date if they go for the random test which will allow Pac time to clear the roids out of his system.That`s why Arum want`s it that way.He knows Pac is all roided up and is trying to protect Pac from getting caught.

If they would of went to the commission they could of got the random blood testing as a requirement. And, no fighter could of refused it if that was the case. And, we would had random blood testing for future fights. Is that not what you want?

So you really only want random blood testing for this fight. You don't care about the future fights. You don't care about boxing having cheaters. You just care about THIS fight not having cheaters. That is the way you acting. You don't blame the commission for having a garbage ass drug test. So obviously you are fine with the commission having this garbage ass drug test for future fighters could game the system. You are totally fine with that. You just want random blood test for this ONE fight. I thought you wanted to g

And, don't give me that the magnitude and how much money this fight is going to make. So that is why we need to have it. If that was the case then why no random blood test for Oscar-Mayweather. Cost for it would of meant nothing for that fight. But, I forgot you are OK with singling out a fighter, you are OK with being prejudice towards a fighter, you are OK with being unfair towards a fighter.

No I want random blood testing in all the big fights, but it is expensive so across the board is not really a reasonable request at the low end of the sport I am fine with lesser there testing because it is much less likely to be really high end or exotic that would be tough to catch at that end of the sport unlike the high end.

I think this would be a good fight to set an example with being that it is the most high profile fight with the two most high profile fighters. Just because they want to start it now for whatever reason baseless or not does not make it any less of a good idea, I would have liked to see it back then.

Now I really want to see it with this fight because of how Manny has reacted becase it raises a red flag to me, if this demand had not been asked and nothing was said I would not have thought much of it but Floyd asking for this and getting this reaction from Manny amkes me want to see it. I still would want random blood testing in the sport though even if I didn't care if it was in this fight or not.

If he is juicing and is the biggest fight i history and 40-75mil why not just stop juicing and fight the biggest fight in history, make your 40-75mil and laugh all the way to the bank. Why not just do that if he is juicing? Maybe just maybe is not about the money, maybe just maybe he feels a little disrespected, could that be it by any chance?

Why not stop juicing?

Umm... Because WINNING is probably a concern.

If feeling disrespected is why Pacquiao is walking away from the biggest fight in recent boxing history, that is just plain ******.

[Larrysbird]

Lmao I find it funny Arum threatening Floyd with a "Malignaggi vs. Pacquiao" fight... Lol... I hope Floyd just accepts man for the sake of boxing because this is getting ridicolous already

I think it's a bait from Arum as both camp has been accusing Pac of roid abuse. While Paul is I think willing to fight with or w/o additional tests.

[The Gambler1981]

Who was asked to the blood test? Was Floyd asked or was Pac asked?

One side wants it the other does not, who asked for it does not change the facts of the matter.

[oniham]

Just let the the comission deal with the testing and take the fight, Everybody involved has to be foolish to let that giant payday slip out of his hands.

I would also like to hear this explaination.

Oh yeah....they dont have one.
