NOBODY was concerned before

[And Still]

Very simple question. Why was NOBODY concerned before about OST until Floyd decided this was a deal breaker to fight Pac?.

A lot of people seem to want to blame Pac. Where were all you people, and why weren't you worried before?

There were many people saying Pac was possible on roids. You just were blind to the truth.

What are you talking about. There you go, Many people...that so funny. That's all you got. Typical brainless *****. You got no proof.

And you put me on ignore list. You coward

[Tamis!]

only fools are blaming pac....pacquiao has every right to only follow the commisions rules, but if you want this fight so bad, and if you are going to call out mayweather in every interview and say, 'i want him so bad'.....well then accept the test and lets get it on....but blaming pacquiao is ******

Very good point sir!

But we don't know if Pacquiao really wanted May SO BAD, coz he don't say it out himself. It's just Roach.

All I know is Pacquiao said when asked about Mayweather one time in an interview "Magpalakas muna sya ng loob (Mayweather)" [TRANS] "He needs to grow some balls"

[Tamis!]

In reality no one gave a F*** about it 'til baseless accusations were made and all of a sudden haters rode the bandwagon.

NSB threads about it are living proof.

If thats true why hasn't it been a topic of discussion in the news, the papers or yes, these forums? There have been PLENTY of opportunities to jump on this and have people voice their opinions over the years. Nobody was talking about it nor concerned. Why is nobody concerned or talking about any other fights? Where was the outrage over Jones-Hopkins? Jones has actually failed a PED test before and boxing swept it under the rug. Why is no one calling for either Klitschko brother to be tested. Do they not fit the description? Holyfield and Botha just fought. You yourself claimed Holy was a juicer, and Botha has failed a test before. Why no out cry?

One other small thing I forgot to mention....before Floyd initiated this whole thing I heard more about PED testing in golf than I did on boxing. That is sad.

What do you mean people haven't voiced their opinion? Again, NSB is not the boxing world. Get a grip. A major fighter asking for PEDs is going to bring it to the forefront, duh! What's the matter with you? If Jose Canseco hadn't said anything in baseball, would we care? It's like you people will do ANYTHING to deflect the issue at hand. This is not the first time a fighter has asked for more tests. It's just the only time the person he asked had more excuses than Eddie Murphy on the ****** Stroll. And that's what made it so controversial. Wisen up.

Tell me about it. Can't believe this dude is whining just because what was once being whispered is now being discussed openly.

If Floyd wants this fight he can follow the same rules as everybody else. If he can't accept those rules, like he always did before, he doesn't really want to fight.

A lot of people seem to want to blame Pac. Where were all you people, and why weren't you worried before?

Actually, there was a worry before. Its like this, when a fighter lacks star power their voice usually has little to no clout. Floyd is now popular enough that his voice gets heard.

With us being at the end of the information trail, don't you think guys on the inside get wind of different info than we get? Think about that for a while. Not only that, but ost is expensive. How much do you think this is all costing? You got 2 guys waiting around for hours to get a sample. This line of testing is costing in the thousands of dollars. Think about that for a while as well.

Regarding Pacquiao negotiations, they agreed to the tests before they sat at the table. 10 million per/lb has never ever been done before in the sport at all. At least ost has actually been done before, am's or not.

Pacfans will be turning on their own in no time. I've seen this happen before. They will reject the idea at first and fight the good fight. After a while and as they get slammed with information some will break and those that have broke will bring others with them. After a while they will have bitten deep into that hand that feed's them.

Good post. I read in Evander's book that Tyson asked him to be tested for steroids before they fought the second time.

What does it matter whether they were or not anyway? Doesn't change any of the facts.

None of the Pacquiao fans cared about the NSAC's integrity before Mayweather requested the tests either.

This is true.
