    Mayweathter mistake

    Did Floyd Mayweather make a mistake not going to the commission about wanting random blood testing?

      Do you think they will figure it out for the March date or later in the year?

          First of all, i think when this testing was brought up early during negotiations and it was agreed upon, i dont think mayweathers team ever thought it would be a problem.

          second of all, judging from what im reading, most of this isnt even mayweathers idea, its ellerbe and his management that pushed hard for this.

          third of all, i dont think mayweathers team had any idea how vehemetly pac and his team would try to not just spin this, but bring a legal matter into it.

          the thing is, american atheletes are used to being under a microscope of su****ion. I do attribute some cultural difference and i also think pacs team has been feeding him things that may or may not even be true regarding negotiations. I will say if pac didint have a leigon of followers ready to take a load to the face for him if nessecary, this would be an even bigger deal than it is, if he was a western athelete i do think hed be on a different playing field media wise.

          Here in the states there is alot of su****ion, but what does it matter when not only is he not one of our own, but hes treated like a diety in his home country? I think as long as arum and roach basically tell him whatever, and pacquiao isnt exactly the brightest lightbulb in the drawer, i think this whole thing was bound to be a disaster.

          When you have two people with monster egos, one of them thinks they are the greatest ever, the other one is smart as a rock but has a country behind him to help him leverage, you get results like this, and you get another reason why boxing outside of the ring is the worst sport on the planet.

            Naw. The commission would've ****ted on it. By going public he raised awareness.

              The right thing to do when you have an issue or su****ion of wrongdoing is to go to the top; I.e. Principal in school, your boss, or in this case, the NSAC. Releasing multiple statements to cast a bad light on your opponent and to get your way is absolutely the wrong way to do things!

                I see what you are saying. But, now looking back do you think Team Mayweather should of went to the commission first? And, try to make it as a mandatory for boxing in general in the state of Nevada?

                  Not really if you look at all this boxing writers and the general media Pac is not getting crucified. More people are blaming Floyd than Pac. I don't know if it is right/wrong but it is the truth. So him going public is not really hurting Pac standing right now. Look at how many boxing writers and the media has Pac back in this.
