Do you think Mayweather is helping Boxing, asking for these tests?

[Hi-Dro]

He isnt cleaning up anything, This has been pointed out many times. Mayweather came upon something big and now he seem to be running with the "cleaning up the sport" story. He just wants to make sure Pac isnt using anything in the lead up to the fight.

But even in doing so he has touch a subject that actually needs looking at in our sport and am all for it..

I think this post right here sums up the answer to the question

No problem at all. Well he could have suggest it to the Commission. Well what makes him think that Pacquiao is on roids if he never failed a test?

Because Pacquiao will not take the test, which will earn him 40 million dollars

Is his main reason to help boxing? No, but its doing just that anyway.

Floyd is the face of boxing and when he talks people listen

He'd actually be helping if he went about it the right way.

You don't go in the media and boast about one guy denying to take a blood test and turn around and claim you want to clean the sport, yet you don't go to the actual commission (in this case Las Vegas) which mandates the tests that every professional athlete that competes in any form of Professional Athletics goes through to be tested? Wouldn't that make your care that much more valid?

People listen, but that doesn't mean they all agree. Big difference.

Well the boxing commissions are starting to agree aren't they?
Boxing is a dangerous sport and if anyone else pointed this out no one would care

[Mr. Chago]

I for one do think that there should be more vigorous testing in the sport,
To be honest I didn't even realize how l lean boxing commission where on this matter until Floyd has brought it up!

I like the idea of not just vigorous blood testing but all round testing and major penalties handed out e.g. Anthonio Margartio should of got a least a two year ban or Even suspended from the sport......
He is lucky he didn't get locked up and got off lightly in my opinion!

While I may not entirely agree with Mayweather’s motives for demanding the USADA protocol in his negotiations with Manny Pacquiao, he and Shane Mosley have both agreed to the same stringent request. In fact, by putting the heat on Pacquiao, Floyd may have inadvertently (or intentionally) just done boxing the biggest favor in recent years.

By instating this vigorous testing protocol for a match-up which will be heavily promoted, publicized, and viewed, he will put his new regime center-stage for the world to judge. And who doesn’t support clean boxing for all parties involved? Boxing is a dangerous sport; people can die inside the ring; boxers often starve themselves of nutrients in order to make weight; and nobody wants a juiced up opponent knocking the life out of his opponent.

If things go the way I think they are going to go (there are already rumors of the Boxing Commissions considering rule changes in their drug-testing protocols as early as this September), then Floyd Mayweather will have single-handedly transformed the landscape of boxing as we know it.

I think none the less whether this fight happens I do think Floyd Mayweather Jr. (Hate him or love him) deserves a lot of credit for exposing this weakness in the sport of boxing, in which we all love so much.

If I was the one in the ring I would demand the most rigurous tests available to ensure my competition was fair...and not put my health on the line with a cheater...
