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

[Calibre .223]

This Pac and Mayweather fight is soooo over rated. Name one exiting and satisfying fight Mayweather has been in? Plus who the fu** does Mayweather and his team think they are? They want Olympic style drug testing? This is Professional Boxing not the Olympics. If that's the case then they should change all testing for all fights. Now cause Floyd wants Olympic Drug Testing Pac has to do it? Bull **** Pac does not need to do ****. He is the Champion it's a question of pride and honor. He is not going to negotiate with the Mayweathers nor does he have to. I hope he gives them the finger. We don't need to watch this fight. We need Marquez Pac III.

I agree, they SHOULD do that for all fights. Other than the fact that this may be cost-prohibitive for some jurisdictions, which TRUE, LOYAL, boxing fan would oppose this!?! Notice I said fan of boxing, not of any particular fighter.

When one 'wanna be' trainer and one 'non-championship caliber fighter' claim that someone is taking drugs, why does 50% of the people listen and debate it? Pacman shouldn't have to prove his innocence, someone has to prove him guilty first. America = Innocent Until Proven Guilty! Does that not apply to the worthless human beings (I say that loosely) known as the Mayweathers? They are not God's gift, if anything, they are God's mistake....

This is really easy that the Mayweather camp cannot simply understand:

•*The Pacquiao Camp does not conform to the Mayweather procedure that he is demanding a blood test (even if it is for both sides). It is because the Nevada Sports Athletic Commission is the last word that governs everything about the fight.

Pacquiao have come clean with the NSAC ever since he's been fighting in Nevada and for the Mayweather Camp to demand something like this is not only groundless but ridiculous.

First of all, "accusing" someone of drug use isn't a ground for the NSAC to test their opponents. And to draw conclusions based on this "accusations" is really downright ridiculous.

It is like accusing a president without the evidence and grounds for a trial impeachment and yet he is already "guilty" by the accuser and by the people. Mind you all who is supporting Mayweather's demands that Pacquiao declining the blood test (which he didn't but only to the issue of timing in terms of not having it within the same day or very close to the fight night) doesn't equate that he is guilty.

I am speculating (educational guess) that Pacquiao simply don't want to answer to the whims of Pacquiao because:

• the fight date is too soon
• the Mayweather camp are too arrogant to accuse him of illegal supplements
• that he has come clean all the time from previous fights

or

• all of the above

I think that this might have been a strategy to "coerce" Pacquiao into the fight date while demanding the blood test randomly without the NSAC's intervention.

Bob Arum, Freddie Roach and Pacquiao agreed that if the NSAC decided to implement such blood testing, that they will abide by it.

I see a fight by September. More time to promote, and more time to prepare after the Philippine elections.

My humble opinions.

Then why bother testing at all with this logic. Manny should'nt be tested at all because his passed it before. What's the harm on using a better testing system?

[Mr. Philadel]

LMAO @ Manny's fans diggin' deep to come up with some **** to justify Manny's choice or reason for not being tested!!.....give it up

[littlemac]

the blood they took was not a drug test

So Manny has phobia in giving blood base on what the blood is going to be tested for?!!!LOL

Golden Boy admits Pacquiao took a blood test two weeks before he crippled Hatton - AND HE TESTED CLEAN.

actually, that was not a drug screen. That was the standard Hep B and C, and HIV tests that are required by the commission. Usually those would have been done further in advance, but for whatever reason Team Pac waited until 2 weeks out.....

There were numerous Demands the MAYWEATHERS AGREED to. but B]Nevada Sports Athletic Commission is the last word that governs everything about the fight[/B]. Sorry I forgot!

Beatdown and Floyd in the same sentence dont make sense.
He is not known to give a "beatdown", more like running around.

a record of 37/0 with 25 kos sounds like hes given PLENTY of beat downs.no body works as hard as floyd does.fighter of the year 3xs is not for someone who "runs around" if mannys clean (lol) he should just TAKE THE TEST that afraid of needles crap has been blown out the water.hes just afraid of random drug test
