Manny Pacquiao - STOP trying to CHANGE the RULES - Enough is ENOUGH!

[Taranazan]

Manny Pacquiao has put massive weight penalties on several opponents.

1.) Erik Morales, after struggling to make weight against Raheem in a one-sided loss, fought Pacquiao in a rematch at one weight division lower. Pacquiao put a massive weight penalty in the contract with an absurd fine if he came in a single lb over the limit. Morales killed his body to make weight, couldn't hydrate properly, and Pacquiao came in the ring bigger to add insult to injury.

2.) Manny Pacquiao put a weight penalty on Oscar De La Hoya. If he came in a single lb over the limit, he would be fined an absurd amount.

3.) Pacquiao forced Cotto to fight him at a catch-weight and forced him to put up his belt on line even after Cotto said he didn't want to since he wasn't allowed to weigh-in at his full limit.

The commission has it's own rules to punish anyone who fails to make weight. It is not a boxer's job to set the fine amounts. An example is below:

Manny Pacquiao, in 1999, around the same time Mayweather was dominating opponents such as Hernandez and Manfredy as the official champion, failed to make weight. Pacquiao lost his title on the scales and was penalized by the COMMISSION. Pacquiao was knocked out in the 3rd round by Singsurat despite having an unfair weight advantage.

Pacquiao has requested Mayweather wear 8oz gloves. This is only allowed by the commission if both fighters agree, as 10oz gloves are standard. Mayweather, showing his desire to get the fight signed, agreed to Pacquiao's demand.

Pacquiao then requested Mayweather be fined $10M if he weighs in a single lb over 147. This is the job of the commission, not Pacquiao, but Mayweather once again agreed.

Mayweather's only demand, was OSDT, which would be done to both of them, not just Pacquiao. This is allowable by the commission if both sides agree, just like Pacquiao's glove size demand. After initially agreeing, Pacquiao would change his mind and once again try to change the rules of an official organization, by requesting the USADA to change their standard rules and set cutoff dates which would render the random testing useless.

It's time Pacquiao stop trying to change the rules and let these organizations do their job. His behavior has been a total embarrassment to the sport of Boxing.

I am tired as well about Pac not fighting guys at their usual weight. However, he isn't changing the rules. It is a contract.

"The contract is the law of the parties"

If you blame Pac for making these demands, you need to blame the opponent who signs the contract to fight at a weight he's not healthy at. It's the opponent's responsibility to make sure the contract is fair for him. If it isn't, just don't sign it.

Second to last paragraph

This link and the other link are posted the same date. So, we don't know the original qoute. The link you posted also is a sports media in Philippines. They did not interview Ariza personally, they probably saw the interview in another media that is based here in the US. Between the 2 links, i would go with the 1st link, not the Philippine link.

Ariza said “I am the one in charge, I’m the one responsible for what Manny takes. He has no idea what he takes. He is on the same thing that Amir Khan (WBA light welterweight champion) , Vanes Martirosyan’s on and I don’t give my guys any steroids. What I give them is all natural and its my own special blend of different things.”

Disturbing statement from a team with a history of Illegal substances!

I thought the blend was already clear from Ariza's official interview and Teri Tom, the ACTUAL nutritionist for Pacquiao and Amir Khan?

1. James toney
2. Michael moorer
3. Holyfield
4. Ortiz
5. Liddell
6. salido
7 Rourke
8. Stallone
9. Rijker

Wasn't aware Moorer tested positive, when was this?

Holyfield has never tested positive.

Liddell is an MMA fighter but I didn't hear of him testing positive either. When was this?

Rourke was a part time fighter. when did he test positive for a fight?

Stallone is an actor, plain and simple. Saying he failed a drug test means nothing.

Besides Toney I am unaware about the rest.

There are just others who want to interpret it in their own way to make a person look bad.

[Seleção No. 13]

Holy ****, Ariza gave ALL OF THEM steroids? I wasn't aware he was working for Roach back then. Afterall only HE knows what he's giving Pac.

Sounds good. Do what you have to do.

He chooses whichever quote he likes, just the type of fan a team of pathological liars should have.
