Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Blood Test Was 24-Days Before Hatton Bout

[sportsplato]

I think the writer phrased this wrong. This punches a hole in the Pacquiao statement about not wanting to get tested within 30 days of the fight. He had already subjected himself to being tested within these parameters once before. If Pac did it for the Hatton fight, it should be a no-brainer to do it for a Floyd fight. I am no Floyd fan but if you do it for 10 million then you should definitely be willing to do it for 25 million.


Pac no longer has a leg to stand on. He needs to agree to being tested but limit the number of tests and forget about 30-days.

I'm beginning to agree with that. Boxing is one ****ed up sideshow and I wouldn't be surprised if floyd and manny are having a laugh on skype chat right now.

well, i dont give a rat's ass what kind of show they put on as long as the fight is made. which i believe will happen. just wait till next week.

You haven't been reading the articles properly if you really believe what you write.

First of all Mayweather does not own the United States Anti Doping Agency, that's a truly ridiculous claim. The United States Anti Doping Agency is used for the Olympic games and is the most respected drugs testing agency in the whole of sport. It has no ties to any individual athlete.

Second, GBP said Pac could use any drug testing agency he wanted, and not necessarily the USADA, with the sole proviso that the blood tests had to be random and to occur during the 30 days leading up to the fight (see also here).

But Pac said he was not willing to take a random blood test, regardless of what agency was used, during the 30 days leading up to the fight.

And then Arum said that he was willing to submit to the arbitration of the Nevada State Athletic Commission and to ask them to rule on whether random blood tests were required. But he said that Pac was only willing to submit to random urine tests, and not random blood tests, unless the NSAC ruled that random blood tests were really necessary.

GBP turned Arum's offer down on the grounds that the Nevada State Athletic Commission doesn't normally require random blood tests, so there's no reason why they would require them for this fight. GBP also said:

“It does not make sense for this to become a commission matter,” Schaefer told Yahoo. “This is a contractual matter. The commission did not decide the weights or the purse split or how the foreign television rights would be sold."

Try learning to read.


On the other hand, as yahoo sports have pointed out, "Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, whose company is representing Mayweather, has consistently spoken out of both sides of his mouth. He’s sounded righteously indignant when discussing Pacquiao’s refusal to agree to the testing, but he flat refused to consider additional testing in 2008 when Zab Judah demanded it prior to his planned fight with (Shane) Mosley.”

So GBP are certainly hypocrites, but that doesn't alter the fact that what you said is a complete fabrication.

Very glad that you printed this. But from either side of the argument they are gonna just accept the facts that fits to their agenda. Is plain and simple but most ppl are going with their emotions instead of logic. What is best for the sport should be done.

i don't know. that test was before hatton.

he's been messing with that skanky filipino actress lately.

i demand another test!

you probably need to go to a gossip blog, because this is boxing we're talking about and not the fighters personal life.

[reynoldsaniana]

so tell boy genuis,why dont he just take the random drug test and get in the ring and knock floyd out,make history and pick up a nice 40 million to go with that?

id like to add something, after he knock floyd out, make history, ang take the 40mil, I believe he should sue their asses for a very nice finale.

I must admit that these past couple of day have been pure comedy. The fact that the Mayweather fans steadily **** all over Pac causing his fans to lose their ***in minds. You Pac fans make my day. I can't stop laughing.

I check this ***in website periodically during the day just to read more ***in posts of Pac fans just going crazy. I don't know who's affected more by this whole steroid issue, Pac or his dumb ass crazy fans.

actually, by posting a message and reading the posts, you are also a part of what you call the comedy. it's just so easy for you to say that you are beyond and better than anyone but you are even hiding thru a different name. so who do you think would believe that you are better than everyone else or pac fans? nobody, nobody, but you...

I certainly hope that the people involve in the negotiation of this fight will have the same mindset as what you have mentioned. It is just so sad that this kind of fight will not happen because both parties involved have taken "I'm better than you so I won't agree" attitude.

Wait wait wait. So what world am I living in 24 days before a fight..............that's WITHIN that 30 day limit.........right!? So Pac should shut the **** up and get the fight dones. Matter of fact, Floyd, SHUT THE **** UP and come to an agreement because I am going to **** the both of them up if they mess with this fight of the century.

At the same time I think this is all part of a promotion propaganda, the interest and attention this is generating is global and has gone viral.
