Mayweather Suffers Pacquiao Blood Backlash

[!! Shawn]

pac has never agreed to random BLOOD tests....he's agreed to random URINE tests. As far as blood tests go, they've agreed to one before the press conference, one AFTER the fight, and one 30 days before the fight.

GBP has announced that the USADA doesn't have to conduct the tests....they've already said that they would work with Top Rank, to find a company both sides can agree on.....Top Rank insists on NO RANDOM BLOOD TESTING, unless the NSAC decides it is needed.

We all know that ain't happening....by doing that, the NSAC will be admitting that their own testing policies, are insufficient....

one side has done everything to find common ground in order to make this fight happen......the other side refuses to bend, and basically wants everything on their own terms.

the sad thing is, most pacquiao fans, would rather him win court battles, and win negotiation conflicts, rather than seeing him give an inch to mayweather, so the fight can get done, and we can see who wins in the ring.....

it's disheartening....

that's why at this point, i wish mayweather would DROP the testing demands, make the fight, beat pacquiao's ass, and all of you can crawl back into the holes you came from.

Pacquiao has given more than an inch. There is no reasonable argument that can be made to justify Floyd getting a 50/50 split with Pac, but Pac made that concession. You think Floyd would ever concede purse split? No... He would use it as an excuse not to fight.

Why didnt Mayweather do this in the first place.. Just sign the damn contract to fight Pac instead of saying Pac is on Steroids BS?

[Pullcounter]

Why did Roach say they would take ANY test and pass..why did they agree to OST...then change their position and make a bunch of excuses?

because floyd isn't the commission and can't dictate terms to pac

[Eagle Eye]

OR if manny wouldve just said yes....its a bigger deal that manny said no then floyd asking for the test.....whats the difference between asking for a roids test and having someone from your camp go to the opposing fighters locker room to check on him while he gets his handsw****d?? you want it to be fair right? are they damaging boxers man hood when they have someone from the other camp making sure you dont cheat???

i dont think pac is on roids but you people are weirdos defending him with every possible excuse when everyone in their right mind feels like its mannys fault...

Under a different set of facts/ circumstances, i will agree with you but not on this one where the accusation about Pac being on roids came ahead of the request for random blood testing..It is easy to say that "Oh Pac, you could have just said yes and we have a fight". But that is not the scenario here..no great fighter worth his salt will agree to said request after having been prematurely accused in the press..A fight of this magnitude should have been delicately negotiated where either party must have kept everything that has been agreed or disagreed upon within the confines of the negotiating table until the contract is signed.

All of us agree that it is for the good of the sport but sad to say we are all irrelevant with regard to the issue at hand. But you may ask, who is relevant? Floyd and his camp are relevant.

As i have adverted to in my other posts,too much has been said about this issue of random testing but we have yet to find one who has taken the cudgels to bring this one up to the proper forum. Floyd and his group is an interested party..Why not file a petition before the governing body to make this random testing mandatory to all concerned? Yes, parties may negotiate on whatever terms they want under the sun. People here are arguing why is it that Pac's camp asked for a penalty of 10M for every pound over the contracted weight? The amount may be too much but, still, asking for this, i.e. penalty per se, is not unprecedented. On the other hand, asking for extra testing in addition to the prevailing test IMHO is unprecedented, thus, the refusal..There is still time..If Floyd's camp is in good faith, why not file a petition before the governing body and start the application thereof with the Mosley-Berto fight. Do you think Pac's camp will oppose the petition? I don't think so because the petition will be all encompassing that it will bind all professional boxers, not only Floyd and Pac...
