Floyd Mayweather is making ESPN feel suspicious about Manny Pacquiao?

[Eaner0919]

WW fight is anything between 141-147. if two fighters agree on anything in between, it still is within their rules.

no dude

a welterweight title fight is a fight where the weight can be no higher than 147

NOT 145

I am fine with Cotto agreeing to the weight. I am fine with stating it probably didn't effect him much

but if you think one stipulation is easy to do than the other one just because

1. its Manny and you are a fan of his
2. Cotto didn't care

then you are clearly wrong

why?

because both were stipulations that CLEARLY went against the general rules of the governing bodies.

Manny asked that Cotto's title be on the lin inspite of Cotto not being allowed the aspect of having the welterweight limit be afforded to him.

This is not a rule in any WBO handbook in fact page 6 of their rules states a welterweight championship fight is up to 147lbs. NOT 145.

so why is Manny making up his own rules? This isn't the Pacquiao Boxing Organization!

isnt that what you guys say about Mayweather?

and here is one thing that CLEARLY sides with Mayweather

while yes Mayweather is clearly not doing it for the good of boxing no matter how much he states it, the good of boxing is the benefit. We all know that better testing is needed in our sport and while yes Mayweather's reasoning maybe selfish the act itself does lend credibility to a sport that needs it

Manny? He did that for his own benefit solely. He made the stipulation of 145lbs not because in his own selfish way it could help the sport. No he did that so he can say he claimed a rightful title.....without allowing his opponent the chance to enforce page 6 of the handbook his title came from.

so again just because Cotto didn't care doesn't make it any more or less acceptable than Mayweather's stipulation.

in fact couldn't we lend more credence to Cotto than Manny because he truely was indeed about making the fight regardless of what was thrown at him yet Manny, ever the warrior, didn't?

all hail Cotto the warrior for making fights regardless

I don't think it's primarily Mayweather's doing. It's basically that Pacquiao is making himself look more and more guilty at every turn, the media would have to be incredibly dense/naive/biased to ignore it.

It's Good!!!!!!!!!!!

see....if that was floyd that said no to drug testing and his excuse was
"oh i will feel weak for the fight, i'm in heavy training"...or "he doesnt make the rules"

...well i dont even know what woulda happened... the world would be in CHAOS

but since its manny saying it.. "oh its fine"

......talk about double standards

Boxing Scene would be down for 3 months if Floyd refused the Pac fight over drug testing.

[Allucard]

Iam starting to see more questions being asked by media members weather Mannys using PEDS since the Mayweather bout fall out. Today idk if you guys caught it but on the 6 PM ET Sportscenter they did a little peace on how the Texas commision said that the Pacquiao vs Clottey fight will not have prefight drug screening. They made it seem like "hey guys this guys on something", and that dude Mark from ESPN on that Mayweather interview was also suspicious. Fellas ESPN is the biggest media sports outlet out there and if there suspicious then the rest will follow, I think Manny should take some test and release the results publicly cus its really starting to hurt him.

It's not Mayweather, it's freaking common sense! If someone will turn down 25 million dollars for the sake of not taking a random bloodtest, then something is up. These are not kids, they are pro fighters. Pacquiao is taking a scheduled test just 20 days prior to his Clottey fight. It's as suspicious as Margarito's win over Cotto. Do we know for sure he cheated? NO! But have we the right to be suspicious about it, due to all the indications? Yes, definitely.

[UnDeniable]

Cotto and JMM are the biggest warriors in the sport especially Cotto

pac needs to stand his ground. fuuck floyd.

pac needs to stand his ground. fuuck floyd.

Pac has no ground to stand on.
