Comments Thread For: Mayweather, Golden Boy Hit Back at Pacquiao/Top Rank

[raabd]

Damn mayweather has made many concessions for pac (glove size, fines for coming in overweight) and all he's asking for in return are simple random tests that he will also take. This doesn't sound too bad to me. If this fight doesn't get done it's pac's bad.

the majority of the people on this site are not fans of professional sports. i think a lot of you probably watch "pro wrestling." if not maybe you should focus on that instead of a sport that requires a significant thought process.

PACMAN said " First JMM drink my urine, now FLOYD want my blood"...WTF!!!

gaaardammmmit!!
see you all in court!!

What exactly don't some of you guys about the fact that Mayweather "did" come in over the agreed upon weight before?

The 10 million dollar penalty, is meant to ensure that he doesn't repeat the same behavior twice, is that so difficult to understand? How is it unreasonable, if he is already guilty of doing it before?

What happened to "easy work"....they must have forgotten it's easy work with a blood test.

Has mayweather ever came in above the contractual weight of 147 lbs in his career? No. Maybe Mayeather should follow Pac's logics and sue pac for indirectly calling him fat when he requested the 10 million per pound over 147 in the contract. Its the same logic Pac is using by sueing mayweather for requesting random blood tests.
The Logic of Pac and his stan

Pac : Well since Mayweather is requesting random blood tests i guess he is accusing me of being a steroid user i'm taking him to court.

Grow some balls pac and fight the man and shut up. Youre a boxer thats what youre supposed to do

look at manny after the marquez fights. before and during marquez, he was hurt and knocked down. after marquez, he has not been hurt. it hasn't even been a contest with any of his opponents who are all larger and stronger than marquez. he's juicing. he knows it, true boxing fans know it, even the a##holes who take up for him on this post know it.

Lol christ...of course he agreed again because he did it before maybe? If he didn't do it before and was asked to pay 10 mill per each pound over, then you could cry foul, but guess what he did it before!!! Nevermind logic seems lost in this argument.

Let's make it real simple so a third grader can understand.

1) Guy A is guilty of doing something before and a request is made that he pay an excessive amount of money should he do it again, reasonable because he did it against Marquez. So Guy A accepts request based on his own prior history/PROOF.

2)Guy B says no to having additional blood tests dictated to him buy a guy who has asserted previously that he is on steroids, what's missing in Guy A's request?----->PROOF

I understand exactly what you are saying. It's not unreasonable for Pac and team to want compensation if Floyd comes in over 147 as he set a precedent in JMM fight. Also not unreasonable for them to not fight if he comes in over the limit. What you are missing is that Floyd had trouble making 144....he came in @ 146 against JMM. Floyd will have no problem at all making the 147 pound limit. Floyd is a professional and coming in o/w against Marquez would have been a combination of an 18 month layoff and the contracted weight being 144. It is much easier to make weight if you are doing it on a regular basis....but floyd being 155-160 for 18 months would have made it incredibly difficult to make the weight.

Pac/Roach/Arum....or to be more accurate i have no doubt in my mind it was ROACH proposed a very punitive term in the contract with 10mil per pound penalties. There is 2 reasons they did this:

1. They were hoping Mayweather would reject it and they could use it as an excuse to not take the fight.

2. If he did accept and they eventually fight occurs they are hoping Mayweather will come in @ 145-146 to make sure he is not over on the day of the weight in so they can gain an advantage. In essence to make Floyd concerned about weight in camp.

This backfired.......i would not be surprised if Floyd is 150-155 pounds right now.

10 mil per pound is ridiculous and you know it!!! A mil maybe. JMM thought 300K per pound was good enough.

Freddie is worried about this fight...........

Jesus dude really? Are you just trying to split words and present a circular argument? Mayweather came in over "the agreed upon weight" against Marquez and paid him for it. It wasn't the agreed upon weight which is why Marquez had to sign off on it the day of the fight and was compensated for it.

[AjamT]

Fair is fair...lets make it fair all the way...

I really really don't see how difficult it is to take a SIMPLE drug test...Manny Pacman has been going up and up doing the impossible...That is great achievement. It is just unbelievable what Pacquiao has been doing lately and that is why PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW...THAT IS WHY THE BOXING FAN HAVE TO KNOW: Is he somekind of a SPECIAL GIFTED "SPECIES" that comes along once in a lifetime or is MANNY just a skilful CHEATER...???? We wanna know and we deserve it. Manny, TAKE THE RANDOM TEST OR ELSE....

Jesus dude really? Are you just trying to split words and present a circular argument? Mayweather came in over "the agreed upon weight" against Marquez and paid him for it. Now you're trying to bring up something entirely different, 147 was the limit yes but it wasn't the agreed upon weight(entirely different issue) which is why Marquez had to sign off on it the day of the fight.

Say out loud.....I am a moron!!

Mayweather vs Pac is @ 147 limit.

Mayweather vs JMM @ 144 catchweight.

Mayweather weighed 146 against JMM.

Will have no problem making 147 against Pac. Mayweather is not a big WW. He is a Medium to small sized WW. He came in @ 148 on fight night vs Oscar 158 in a JMW limit fight. What makes you think he is going to weight in @ 149 or 150 for a WW fight and try to outsize Manny??? Floyd will weight 147 @ the weigh in and prob 150-154 on figh night @ the absolute most.

Mayweather wouldn't bother coming in over 147 even if the contract allowed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

He is going to outbox Manny. That is his strategy. He is not going to outmuscle/outsize him!!!!
