[gratz_the_king]

**** this little prick!

hes so scared that its starting to become obvious

floyd, listen to us all here at BS. we want you to forget about this fraud coward and go to 154 to fight williams and martinez. you will solidify your legacy even further

[Duckweather]

not this shi t again.

[l3xxer]

Men Pacquiao should learn how to use the internet the guy don't even know Roach offered 17 days cut off

[mikemurni]

Then Pac will retreat to fighting in Texas only where he has a inside track through Bob Arums and Jerry Jones's realtionship.

Hehehe, I assume you know this for a fact because you have evidence to justify this claim.

[Bacatit]

Manny had a slim to good chance at beating mayweather.

After tonights fight...

Manny has a snowballs chance in hell at beating Mayweather.

The only thing left to question was if Floyd chin could stand up to Pac punch, thats been answered.

Mayweather dominates Pac at the least if he dosent stop him.

Plain and simple.

Real Talk !!!

Mayweather vs Williams/Sergio

Pac doesn't deserve the chance to fight Floyd. At this point I feel like he needs to be testing just to prove he previous victories were legit and even then his image has been severely tarnished in my eyes.

I won't act like I was ever Pro Pac but now the thought of this guy getting in the ring again disgust me.

Even worse than Pac are the tards that back him. I guess those kinds of people will accept a win any way they can get it.

floyd will stick on osd testing, and will most likely ask >50% of pot money.
pac will stick on 24 day cut-off for blood, and all the way for urine tests.
fyt will never happen.... but i hope it will

December 11:

Freddie Roach: I have no problem with the testing whatsoever. They can do whatever (Keyword: Whatever) kind of drug testing that they want.

December 14:

Alex Ariza: I am the one in charge, I am the one responsible for what Manny takes. He has no idea what he takes.


December 22:

Early today Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, was contacted by Top Rank President Todd duBoef, who informed Schaefer that Pacquiao would not agree to have his blood taken within 30-days of the bout based on the fighter’s superstition of testing so close to a fight.

Richard Schaefer: Todd told me that Pacquiao has difficulty with taking blood and doesn’t want to do it so close to the fight. He, Pacquiao, would only agree to have blood drawn before the kick-off press conference and after the fight.

In that same day,

Freddie Roach: A urine test is just as qualified as a blood test. [Human growth hormone] is not detected by blood or urine.”

How is HGH test done?

More than one blood sample must be taken on different days, due to rapid changing levels of growth hormone. A test measuring IGF-1 levels may be taken in conjunction, as its levels change much slower. Before blood is drawn, the administering health professional should be informed of any disorders or medication being taken which can lead to bleeding at the site of the puncture.



December 23:

Bob Arum: Manny says that taking blood from him really weakens him. And he doesn't want to do it when he's in training, but he'll do it prior to going into training, and after the fight. Every major doctor will tell you that blood testing shows absolutely nothing.

Freddie Roach: For the record, Pacquiao (Remember, he said Pacquiao) is willing to have his blood drawn before he starts training and after the fight to be tested for steroids and performance enhancing drugs. It’s not like Pacquiao is saying no to drugs.


December 24:

Arum: This kid has a phobia for getting his blood drawn.

December 25:

Manny Pacquiao plans to sue Floyd Mayweather, the American's father and Golden Boy Promotions in the next few days following a row over doping procedures, the Filipino world champion said in a statement on Friday.

NYDailyNews. Tim Smith,

This isn't some issue that just came about. It has been a part of the contract negotiations for weeks. According to a source familiar with the talks, Pacquiao's representatives asked what penalties Pacquiao would face if he tested dirty, and also if a dirty test result could be kept secret so that the integrity of the fight wouldn't be ruined in the public eye.


December 26:

Manny Pacquiao: I have offered to give a blood sample the day of the announcement of the fight at the Press Release. I have offered to give a blood sample 30 days before the fight. I am willing to give blood immediately after the fight is over inside my dressing room. I am also willing to give urine tests at anytime any where everyday leading up to the fight. The truth is taking blood out of my body does not seem natural to me and mentally I feel it will weaken me if blood is taken from me just days before the fight.

December 28

Manny Pacquiao: I do not have anything to prove (to them) and hopefully, they would not succeed in destroying my image and the sport of boxing in the way they want it done. They want to dictate and step on the authority of the organizations including the Nevada State Athletic Commission. I am not guilty and I don’t have to prove anything because I have passed all tests in all my previous fights. I will all just see you in court.

December 30:

Alex Ariza: He’s willing to give the blood tests – just not two or three days before, for understable reasons.


David Tyler interviews Freddie Roach.

Freddie Roach: HGH cannot be detected by blood, saliva, or urine. The doctors I've talked to said that HGH and any growth harmone cannot be detected by any test.

David Tyler: Fred, I have a graduate's degree in Biochemistry and 30 years experience in developing blood chemistry tests.....I'll leave it alone, let's move foward.

Freddie Roach: No wait, you can't tell me that there is a test that can detect HGH or growth harmones.

David Tyler: Fred, I'm not here to make you mad.

Freddie Roach: I'm not mad, I'm telling you that you are wrong if you think there is a test for HGH.

David Tyler: Ok Fred, so you are saying that HGH cannot be detected by a blood test?

Freddie Roach: Absolutely, 100%, NO! Saliva, blood, or urine.

The Mayweather fight is the fight the world wants to see,” Roach said. “It’s going to be the biggest pay-per-view fight of all time. But I think we will fight one fight before that.”

Roach said that Pacquiao’s schedule will be constructed around his political ambitions and the elections in the Philippines on May 10. “But there is a March date for him to fight,” Roach said. “People think I am crazy but I want him to win his eighth title against Yuri Foreman at 154lb. That’s my idea — then fight Mayweather in September. And then retire.”

The way Roach sees it, there will be no further blemishes on Pacquiao’s record by the time he greets retirement, although he does concede that Mayweather will be “the hardest fight of his life”.


“Mayweather’s a very difficult fight for Manny,” he said. “It won’t be physically the hardest, but it will be the hardest fight of his life style-wise. Mayweather is talented and he’s good at defense. I have a very good game plan for him, but I’m sure a lot of other guys thought that along the way.

“We’ll have a ten-week training camp. We have to work on a lot of new moves, we have to improve in certain areas to win that fight.” And would he expect his man to win? “Oh yes. Without a doubt.”

"If they give me a 5-day window or something like that I have no problem with it," Roach said. "When they've drawn blood from Manny in the past he feels weaker for three or four days. It may be mental, but it's there."

[Mersey]

That's just as good as saying...

"Pacquiao will agree to drug testing, with a 2 year cut"

[killa73]

whos the moron saying Floyd will be 10-15lbs heavier? lol Manny hydrated to 152 in his last fight so you think Floyd is up in the 160s? Nah Floyd is a solid 155lb fighter but he doesnt need size to beat Manny his skill will get it done. I'm convinced Manny will do better than Shane but he wont take the shots as well n one thing about being more agressive is you will take more punishment, Many will get inhaled after 6rds from counters n having his face busted up by Money. I think it'll be a fun fight but Manny will get stopped cuz he wont stop trying. Stop fighting over it man, they just need to fight lets stop getting involved in HOW they do it....It will happen, but Manny sounds shook saying 24 days despite giving blood 20days b4 the Clottey fight n showing no ill effects n even doing a full training sesh plus bball the next day lol thats just ****ing ******

You got that on point. Manny will do better than mosley but he will get knocked out simply because he will be relentless in his efforts to try and stop mayweather which will inevitabley force mayweather to counter and step up his game, which in other words means mayweather will knock mannys scared ass out.

su****ious... why cant he just take it
