When it comes down to it, Pacquiao agreed to the EXTRA testing Floyd requested

[Doctor_Tenma]

IIRC it wasn't formally offered to Arum:
It was merely pointed out the 24/7 Pac-Hatton footage,
but the lie was made about it being shot 14 days pre-fight.

Arum went on record all excited about it and said he'd try
to ask Pac in the Philippines. (That's probably what you
remember). IIRC, Pac said sure, exact same cutoff as the
blood test for the Hatton bout.

Then the truth came out about when the blood footage was
shot: it was 24 days prefight, not 14. That's why the line
got drawn at 24, whereas Arum's original demand was 30.

When I heard about all this, I swear I thought this was some kind of BAD JOKE.

[Vasyl’s dad]

Awww poor Pacckie feewwwing hurt?

Why doesn't he take it out on Floyd in the ring.

Oh I forget: I'm afraid of needles. Oh wait, no, it's against my religion. Oh wait no it's my superstition, no wait it's never been done before, no no I got it, it'll drain me. What's that? Floyd is taking the same tests? Uh...well uh...the commission is owned by Floyd and Golden boy and uh yeah he's an *******.

"easy fight, easy work, probably easier than the Marquez fight".

I've moved on. No worries about that buddy. I like boxing so I don't really care. The fight will happen eventually then we'll see.

Yes both act like divas. Good call

so do i and i couldn't give two ****s about floyd or floyd fans not getting what they wanted


i wanted to see floyd in MANY MANY MANY fights...they didn't happen...i'm used to it


there's more to boxing than those two and i look forward to Berto-Mosely, the 2nd round of the Super 6, PAC-Clottey and whatever else 2010 brings


PAC-PBF not happening doesn't bother me...floyd can go back into a 3rd retirement with his '0' in tact but by that time, a majority of fights fans will have already figured out the pattern

[Lead Cenobite]

Let's see.. who made generated more PPV money last year? Pacquiao or Mayweather?
Pacquiao did..
Who beat Hatton and De La Hoya more decisively? Pacquiao or Mayweather?
Pacquiao did..
Who has a welterweight belt? Pacquiao or Mayweather?
Pacquiao does..
Who is ranked number ONE Pound for Pound? Pacquiao or Mayweather?
Pacquiao is..
Who beat the better welterweight? Pacquiao or Mayweather?
Pacquiao fought the second ranked welter in Cotto.
Mayweather fought Marquez who was jumping up two divisions..

Yeah.. I'd say that Pacquiao > Mayweather right about now.
And you are ****** because I'm not even a Pacquiao fan.

Oh I got you mixed up. Floyd hater. My bad.

In any case very few of those matter. Floyd will draw fine as evidenced by his JMM fight that wasnt supposed to draw anything.

Your comment about 'who beat common opponents more decisive" just shows your boring bias.

"easy fight, easy work, probably easier than the Marquez fight".

I can just see you crying yourself to sleep after Pac loses. LOL.

[THE REED]

Pac's just not havin it reed. He's tops with many options. Floyd fans are crying coz the fight means more for Floyd and he has no other options. There are NO other little fighter that's gonna bring real big money except for Pac. Floyd loves little people.

I agree with you. But 14 days was fair.

i cant WAIT to see Nate's 24-7 with Floyd

That **** is terrible.

[RockStar45]

I think both sides should get blamed, but neither side will ever admit to it.

If Mayweather was serious about drug testing. He actually had more to worry about with Marquez because Juan Manuel was coming up from lightweight to welterweight in the span of 7 months. Why wasn't he worried about Marquez possibily cheating to make the weight? How come he didn't find it su****ious that Ricky Hatton could consistently slim down from around a fat 200 lb to a 140-147 fighting machine? I'm not saying any of those guys are on anything but Pacquiao is hardly the first fighter Floyd has faced you could voice su****ion about taking PEDs.

On the flip side, Pacquiao's team ultimately walked away from the fight over a difference of 10 days for blood testing. He did make a compromise by agreeing to the tests, but 30 days and 24 days and 14 days shouldn't have been a hold up to makig the biggest fight ever. Arum didn't take the negotiations seriously once Cowboys Stadium was out of the picture and seemed to actively look for ways to stop negotiations instead of trying to save the fight.

I think if everyone here turned off their blinders they would see that both sides were idiotic during this whole thing.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

I can't wait to see Pac fight only the fighter who won't request anymore testing, fighters like Clottey who are in no position to ask for anything, and in the end Pac's career will have an *.

by your logic, ANY boxer from this point on that doesn't submit to random blood testing should have an * next to their name...fair enough

[-MAKAVELLI-]

I agree with you. But 14 days was fair.



That **** is terrible.

they're gonna show old clips from the 70s when Nate used to babysit floyd jr

if it's all about PPV numbers.. who did more last year? simple as that.. Pacquiao still comes out on top.
