Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather Pass Nevada Drug Tests

[Ray*]

Glove size standard for WW in Nevada = 10 oz....not 8 oz....fighters can request 8oz if they both sign off.....this happened in the margarito vs cotto fight....both wanted 8 oz gloves so the commission budged on 10 oz and came up with the new rule that allows fighters to use 8 oz @ 147 if both camps agree in writing......so yes floyd did agree to 8 oz gloves

No one in floyds camp asked for the fight to be @ 154....that was an assertion by Roach.

I dont know where anyone get the idea that Mayweather asked for the fight at 154, Everyone knew the fight would be at 147 including both fighters so there really no point negotiating that fact, The gloves thing was Pac who wanted 8 oz because of his power which Mayweather said yes to even though according to the rules he could have said NO since any fight above 140 had to be fought with a 10 Oz gloves.

What about the fact that Roach initially said USADA random blood testing was no problem.....they had the caluse in the contract from the start......what changed???

is my name pacquiao or roach????

I've never openly defended their decision to walk away from the fight but i'm not going to condemn them either because 24day and 14day cutoff is virtually indistinguishable to me considering the fact that there was also going to be unlimited urine testing and a blood test immediately after the fight. There's plenty of blame to go around.

But with all that blood b.s. aside pacquiao walking is no worse than floyd walking away from a delahoya rematch.

NSAC rules were initially 10 oz for 135 and above....the majority of States use 8 oz to 147..........but the point is floyd agreed to 8 oz when he could have asked for 10......he agreed to a 10 mil per pound penalty....a 50/50 split.....If floyd really wanted to he could have said no to all OR JUST ONE of those requests and team Pac and the *******s would have used it as an excuse as to why the fight didn't happen and Floyd ducked.......instead he agreed..


All floyd did was ask for USADA random style testing, which Roach and team Pac knew well before the media did......so how did floyd duck.....he could have legitametely refused all of team pacs requests but did not......

yet some still believe floyd was the one at fault......how would he even know requesting better tests would make Pac and cohorts run for the hills and destroy this fight????.....when they initially requested it Roach said it was no problem.....

To me the facts and events speak for themselves.....i lay all the blame squarely at Roach, Arum and Pac. Roach never wanted this fight in March.....NEVER......

With a name like check hook and a picture of floyd as your avatar,this comes as no surprise. Manny passed his drug test,and now all you can do is **** on about glove size? Are you f.ucking serious?

Look dude i can understand if a guy is afraid of needles for real......it would suck but as an athlete u have to suck it up and allow yourself to be tested...given pacs tatts this is not the case....


I could also understand him saying he feels giving blood (however small in quantity) weakens him. It dosen't have to be physical it could be mental. If it's their fair enough, but there is no way he needs 30, 24 or even 14 days to recover......4 or 5 is plenty...Roach even said it was mental and he feels it weakens him for 2 or 3 days.......so why ask for 30? why not accept 14? So

Somethings up bro......the facts are there.....either they don't want PBF at all, they want him, but not in March OR the worst of all Pac is a cheater.

The truth is Manny did not want Floyd to make 40 MIL. How much is Floyd going to make if he fights Paulie? Maybe not enough to pay the IRS! Who do you think he's going to fight?

Manny wanted a 10MIL penalty on Floyd, 8oz gloves, 50/50 split.
What else does your Majesty Pac want? I don't see what the big
deal was to take the blood tests? I think if Pac would have taken
the random tests, came out clean, then everyone would have really
looked at Mayweather sideways for accusing but NOW Pacquiao has
left doubts, not only with Boxing fans but also with other Boxers. If
Pac fans and supporters can't see that then there is nothing else
to speak about. The truth is the truth and that truth is Manny Pacquiao
turned down the biggest fight of his career because he didn't want to
take random blood tests Floyd asked because it is what Floyd wanted?
What kind of sense does that make? I thought the money or the weight
would be the issue, not the random blood tests?

I agree, Roach never wanted the fight for March because it was too soon after a tough little fight with Cotto, And i agree with Roach but then he twisted it in the Media by saying we are fighting Foreman because Mayweather doesnt want to fight us, Mayweather got wind of it got GBP involve then Roach couldnt backtrack.

I thought has a better chance at Mayweather if they fought in May or Spetember than March, You need enough time to study get yourself ready for Mayweather if you want to beat him and no way Pac win if the fight happens in March.
