Was it a mistake by Pacquiao to let Cotto tee off on him?

    Yeah there's a lot of spin going on , depending on which camp you belong to.

    I believe there's no difference between 24 and 14 day cut offs anymore, especially if Pac will be tested right after the fight! PED's and drugs can stay in your system for as long as 40 days, and therefore, no one in their right mind will agree to either 24 or 14 days or after-fight tests if they are on any drugs! They would simply risk the chance of getting caught!

    A lot of this is now hype and posturing, and again depends on what side you belong to. Pac's camp certainly didn't help with all the confusing statements, but it doesn't escape the fact that this whole drug testing demand by Floyd's camp is his own and not by the commission.

    Bottom line, we cannot hold anyone accountable for not fully complying to rules that have not been set by the governing body, especially such rules that are governed by the commission. And rules that have never been required of any fighter in the entire history of the sport.

    Emotions aside, this is the bottom line.

        But won't that cost the Mayweather's even more money? It's like you're willing to give the court system money just to play down someone else's success? Talk about being envious...

          a very dangerous attempt by pac..but shows how much hes gotten smarter

          although he even claimed to pretend it didnt hurt but it did.. lol
          not all the punches went in though.

          doing a concert after the fight with a head bandage lol imagine if he baited cotto in the first round..he'd be doing the concert sitting on a wheel chair.

            No wonder Pac didn't wanna deal with May........if he passes the blood test and loses people like you will say, "Pac lost coz he didn't use steroids" OR if he passes and wins against Floyd you say "He got steroids, Shane didn't get caught. There's no way Floyd loses".

            Like RJJ said.......either you fight me or you don't.. Floyd didn't want it.
            Well man, atleast I'm being honest here. If Mayweather were in that same situation; I wouldn't be able to see him the same either. I do get the feeling that alot of people aren't reading the articles. That or they aren't paying attention.

But that's what separates a guy like Floyd and Pacquiao. Pac's willing to take a little to give a little as where Floyd plays the "hit and not be hit" route as uses it to perfection...against the right opponents of course.
              yep, AND that hes on ROIDS too

                While im sure he was hoping to get more praises on how great he is from the adoring public, it actually gave people more reason to think he was on steroids.

                Im thinking mayweather might not have even asked for these extra drug test if he just boxed cotto.

                WHATCHA THINK?
                Floyd , Sr was saying it back in September. Two months before the Cotto fight.

                Team Mayweather has been tipped off to something.

That is all there is to it in my opinion. I wouldn't think too much into it. The problem I have is that Pacquiao and his camp stirred all this. Pacquiao probably doesn't know that this lawsuit was triggered because of his own camp.
                  Bull****, Mayweather doesn't want to fight or he wouldn't give a **** about PEDS.

                  If he's as great as he thinks he is, he wouldn't care, he'd just fight and probably win anyway.

                    Take RJJ and Danny Green for example, Roy knew something was up and Green wouldn't rewrap his hands. You gotta protect yourself at all times. I'm sure Roy truly believed that he would beat Green regardless. Now look what happened...
