72-10. I don't agree that manny NEEDS to do the test to clear his name and for the good of boxing. He's clean by Nevada Standards like all the hall of famers that fought in Nevada. Manny is not smearing boxing and making Nevada look like a rinky dink commission. Floyd is making all these demands. And to tell you the truth, I think other boxers should not be short minded on this issue. You'll never know how one boxer can take this one step further and another step further. I will also blame Nevada Comission on this one. They should just tell the promoters to do it on Nevada Rules and if not, take the fight someplace else.

Its not about clearing his name which he himself made to look guilty , its about an opponent in a mega fight asking for more accurate drug testing , Manny is ducking ,,,,WHY

[Gutz]

If you want to get factual and not emotional then it will be a FACT that if this fight does NOT happen it is due to Pac.

It will be Pac and his team alone that walk away or "DUCK" this mega fight. Reason they are looking at a possible fight with Malignaggi (who called Pac out on PED's)...

let me set you straight..

Pac was willing to do the random test but not so close to the fight date..

Pac is not scared of Needles.. but he believes.. that it will weaken him if he blood is drawn on teh fight night.. he did lose once to Morales when he blood was drawn on fight night..

Pac has passed drug test for 11 years..

Floyd has ducked all the top WW for 5 years..

Never before in a mega fight has anyone asked for these type of test..

Floyd Sr.. never wanted Jr to fight Pac in the first place..

Lets be honest!!!!

Would you really wanna fight someone that you thought may have been PED's in his previous fights. No there is no proof but still if you have to fight the guy wouldnt you wanna make sure. If there wasnt so many people on steroids in Baseball whose name would come up when we talk about homerun hitters. Can someone be left out as all time great because we didnt adequately check for steroids. Is that really fair. Lets be clear, its all about giving everyone a fair chance not about upholding tradition. If Floyd feels he needs to be sure why not?

What are "all these demands?" All he asked for was random blood testing and Team Pac had a panic attack.

[ME2]

What's wrong with asking for a random drug test? And how does asking for one translates to Floyd ducking a fight? How would he know Manny doesn't like needles, or is superstition, or its gonna mess his routine, or it weakens him if he takes 30days, 72 or 48 hours, a week (which one is it,lol) b4 fight? Floyd would have to be psychic to know that!

I just don't understand why these loyal Pac fans aren't pulling for him to take the random blood test and prove he is clean, it's almost like they've been in camp with Pacquiao aiding him with the PEDs.

Has anyone else noticed that Bob Arum has not said a word about the possibility of fighting Timothy Bradley. He has mentioned fighting Yuri Foreman and is ready to finalize a deal with Pauli Malignaggi if Mayweather balks at his demands, but he hasn't said a word about Bradley. Bradley is the best at 140 followed by Devon Alexander. Yet he is lining up a fight with the featherfisted Pauli Malignaggi. Once again, this does not pass the smell test. Both Bradley and Alexander have said they are ready, willing and able to fight Pac in March. Yet, Arum finds the weakest fighter he can find with a name to line up against Pacquaio.

He is proviing me correct. He wanted an easy fight for Pacquaio to enhance his chances to win the election in May. He never had any intention of putting Pac in the ring with Mayweather.

What's the point of having a random blood test then. Also, Mayweather agreed to not have any tests conducted within 24 hours of the fight. Hey guess what, Roach said it takes about 3-4 days for Manny to get back to normal mentally after drawing blood.... HGH can leave the bloodstream in 2-4 days.

Pac has passed piss tests for 11 years, so have MLB participants until they started taking blood tests.

[IIG]

I'm sick of the bull****. This fight should be called off, and I truly hope it never happens. I hope Malignaggi, Foreman, Bradley, or whoever Pacquiao fights next, gets the surprising upset. That way maybe this cheater will go away, and Top Rank will be considerably weakened. Floyd already exposed these frauds as cheaters, so I don't need to see him do it again in the ring.

[PirateGorilla]

Schaefer made the mistake, he should fix it. If they really care about fair play then they should present their case to the commission. Why are they balking?

This would benefit all fighters and not one.
