    that is how Pac's activities behind closed doors hurts the sport as a whole

    run, manny. run.
    No one is opposing it, Pac wont take it because its not required by the commission.

    How come fighters like paulie wont make his bout take the osts? because no one takes it seriously.

    First, when floyd ask for the ost, I thought it was a good idea but when his uncle and dumb father talked about a-side meth. **** was just to save face.

      Anyone who thinks Floyd is really trying to clean up the sport is crazy. He just needed to set an example with the Mosley fight just so people think he's serious about it, otherwise he'd get a huge backslash for making Manny the exception.

        if the current testing is not sufficient, then its the commision's fault.
        Does that apply to weight penalties also?? Or just the select fight conditions you choose to focus on?

        Weight and glove sizes actually have an in-ring impact. Drug testing does not.

          Pacquiao is being made to look bad. Because the drug testing for "Who R U Picking?" has been a non-issue.

          So all the karaoke-obsessed fans are upset now.

            Are you talking about when floyd cheated marquez on the weights? Pac asked for a penalty so floyd wont cheat, and yes I know floyd will make 147

              Because I don't expect miracles, if it can't get done for one fight what is the hope that it gets done on a whole when considering the huge conflicts of interests that are involved.

                that again?

                the 8oz gloves is the standard for 147 and below. what so hard to understand about that?

                and floyd came in over the weight before. it doesn't mean **** if he comes in the agreed upon weight.

                testing, on the otherhand is a whole different matter.

                again, why not put pressure on the commision? just one fighter and his fights?

                  Well when it comes to weight penalties, glove size, what weight the fight is fought at the commission basically has rules but allows the fighters to adjust things. Whenever there is a dispute, that is when they step in.

                  NVSAC clearly makes this point if you go to their website. So it's nothing wrong with Floyd asking Manny to take these test, but at the same time Manny doesn't have to accept. If there was a dispute, it should be brought to the NVSAC and they will decide on matters. This is how it has always been.

                  FWIW it happened sort of like this in which the dispute was brought before a third party. Both sides didn't come to an agreement, so the fight didn't happen.

                    the OST is a tactic to get out of the pac fight. simple as that.

                      don't act like an immature prick.

                      why does floyd only has ost in his fights, and not the undercard?

                      the OST wasn't supposed to be an accusation to manny by gbp when they asked for it. Its only to ensure a fair fight, right?

                      then how come not all their fights don't undergo OST?
