Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Headed For a Stunning Electoral Victory

[Mr. Philadel]

Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao is about to pull off probably the biggest win of his life in the congressional ring of Sarangani province where he is, by all accounts, demolishing his opponent from the wealthy Chiongbian dynasty, Roy Chiongbian. [Click Here To Read More]

HELL NO!!!! .....I was watchin' CNN International yesterday and the reporter asked one Phillipino politician if he thought Manny would win and he said, NO!!....so wtf happened in 24 hours for Manny to be lookin' like he'll win?!?... because the clown on CNN was so sure he wouldn't win!!

just funny that all floyd is asking this guy to do is take a test and they can fight and pac has all these excuses coming from arum and his camp (maybe not him) and now this guy is all into politicts which is his business but it would have made perfect sense to do this after boxing.... if this was floyd i could see all the backlash he would get for "ducking pac to save the black community".... all this and this guy gets no blame for the fight not happening. its all floyds fault to you people and it just doesnt make any sense both guys had the right to make demands and both fighters made demands (one didnt agree to the others)! at what point do you become a normal person and just keep it real that arum, pac, and roach have been contradicting themselfs, bull****ting, and avoiding signing a fight with floyd all due to arums issues with floyd. i mean this guy gets on live television and says he never heard of steroids before, arum says hes afraid of needles, roach says he needs 2 weeks yet hes seen giving blood for a physical days before the hatton and clottey fight.... then a tape pops up of roach agreeing to the blood test, and theres more but the point is... we know u love pac and you have a right to he is one hell of a boxer and brings excitement to the sport but get real and stop witht he bull**** excuses for this guy and his camp.

I see what your saying but in Manny's defense as far as the election as an excuse I'm pretty sure manny had decided to run for election before the prospect of this fight had surfaced.

Let the Pacquiao's misery and calvary begins.....

Its not about him being the first one and I know he hasn't but it doesn't matter. I could be wrong though but I can't remember a time where a fighter fights at 147 and then turns around and needs a catch weight against another guy maybe you could help me out there.

owned!

mike tyson has demanded additional drug test before but the question isnt who did it before the question is why wouldnt u take it to make the biggest fight in the history of the sport even after u put forth a demand that gets agreed to

All of the examples you gave me were cases in which a fighter was in unknown territory from a weight class standpoint so you did not address my question. Manny Pacquiao had fought at the WW limit before yet still needed the catchweight. I gotta call bitchmove on that. I should say also that I don't think it is wrong in some cases for a catchweight bout I don't however feel that the Cotto fight was an adequate example.

I'm going to make a few solid good points, and I'm sure you'll be on the same page as me. I was going to write Breadman, but making solid points would probably make him skip and ignore my email. 1) Awesome fight by Mayweather. He got rocked in the 2nd round and like a true warrior he is, he adjested, stayed calm, and did what he had to do! Cong**** to him.

2) Like De la Hoya said, Mayweather dictates what happens in the negotiations with a Pac fight. For starters, he averages more PPV buys per PPV event. Against common opponents, he sold much much more PPVs. He definitely deserves 60-40 in his favor. Pac got everything he wanted (minus the stricter drug testing thing) the first time they tried to make the fight, Mayweather shouldn't let that happen again.

3) Mayweather needs to stick to his guns with the stricter drug testing. Mosley admitted to taking steroids yet he never tested positive for ANYTHING illegal. The only way we knew was because he admitted it. How many more boxers are out there that take steroids or any other illegal substance that don't test positive? Guys like James Toney and Fernando Vargas got caught AFTER their fights. Don't you think cheaters should get caught before they step foot in the ring? The system is obviously flawed. Is Floyd's way the best way to do it? Maybe, maybe not, but he's trying. I don't get why he gets criticized for doing something that NEEDS to be done. I heard they don't even drug test in Texas. With the NSAC considering blood testing in Nevada, I don't see Pac ever wanting to fight in Vegas again.

4) For anyone that thinks Mayweather used the drug testing as an excuse to get out of the Pac fight, Mayweather is no psychic, how would he ever thought Pac was going to say no to stricter drug testing?? Did he also know Pac was going to say no to 14 days cut off? People need to come up with new excuses to put the blame on Mayweather, cause that one doesn't make sense.

5) People saying that Mayweather has never asked for this before, why now? Well at one point, someone decided to switch fights from 15 rounds to 12 rounds. It all has to start somewhere. Why not the biggest fight in the history of boxing?? When was the last time the best 2 fighters in the world in any weight class fought each other? When was the last time a fight was guaranteed to smash all records? When was the last time anyone anticipated a fight as much as this one? Why not implement a stricter drug testing program to show the world that the best fighters in the world are all natural? It all has to start somewhere, why not then? What if he asked Marquez and Marquez said "he didn't ask Hatton"... What if he asked Hatton, Hatton would of said "he never asked Oscar"... It all has to start somewhere!!

6) I'm calling Manny's bull****. At first he kept saying he wanted a 30 day cut off date. Then a video came out showing him getting blood taken 24 days before his Hatton fight... So then Pac said he wanted a 24 day cut off date. But again, 19 days before his clottey fight, there is a video of him getting blood taken. So I guess he has no problem giving blood, just as long as it's not for drug testing!!! His excuse for making him weak is BS too. Three days after he gave blood, Ariza and Roach said Pac had his greatest day of training to date in his camp against clottey. http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=25619

How people can't see Pac doesn't want to fight is beyond me. Nothing but excuses from this guy. Let's not forget he's scared of needles, wait, he's superstitious, wait, he's scared he'll faint, wait, how many excuses does he have?
