Imagine if MAYWEATHER...

yo, dude. You are contributing nothing to this convo.

Just answer this:

How is IMPROVING the testing a bad thing?

I may not agree with you from time to time but you do have a great point. What the hell is wrong with random testing? What's the opposition's defense against random testing? I want a good reason what's wrong with it. The only downside is that it's expensive but then again, the promoter can pay for it. $20K for each fighter is nothing to the promoter. I'd like to know if the fighter I'm rooting for is clean. Pac is my favorite fighter but he's in the wrong here if he doesn't want to take random blood tests. If you're damn scared of the needle, just don't look at it!

Because you roll in poor circles. When you're self employed things are more complicated you have to declare any source of income, it's easy to overlook certain aspects.

Bro, we're not talkin' about a guy who is making 45K a year. We're talkin' about a multi-millionaire, there's a huge difference there. He didn't miss ****, like I said, he thought he was slick, he forgot he wasn't inside the squared circle anymore. I do wonder where the hell his "business team" was in all this, hehe

This is actually concerning seeing as legislation has to be clear enough that they can be correctly interpreted for generations.

A man who doesn't understand his own promotional contracts may have problems authoring legislation.

I'm just saying.

Here's the thing though.....can Pac read English? I know he can read Tagalog but English? Would that be considered illiterate?

If you are equating Taxes to common sense, then you are insane.

i'm a finance guy. We pay tax compliance people $225 per hour to go do taxes.

floyd makes $50 million per year. That is the equivalent of a good sized company. I don't expect a boxer to be able to run through his tax schedules.

I do expect his advisers to connect him with good financial planning people.

I can not verify that pacquiao can read tagalog. can you? Really?

I have stated before improving testing is a good thing, its the way that Floyd put it out there. If he was really sincere about it he would have did it the correct way- petition the governing commission for the extra testing-FOR ALL FIGHTERS.

Who's pocket did the extra testing for Floyd/Mosley fight come from anyway?

Yes as I said, when you have one job earning 45k it's pretty straight forward when it comes to paying taxes. They just deduct it from your job.

When you're self employed it isn't so simple. Expenses come into play, then there is an issue of what type of business you're operating under, how much profit you make from it and such. In Mayweather's case, he has his Mayweather promotion business, I think he has some investment in the music business too, if he sells shares and such who knows.

The point is when you have money coming in from various sources it's more difficult to manage.

calm down homes, it ain't that serious. seems like I touch a nerve there, partner... It's okay to admit when your wrong. Look if Pac had just took the tests and busted Money Mays' a$$ He would p4p #1 no question...

hahaha lol im calm ****s oh sorry i mean homes..my bad
so ur saying if, ur pac and u think that blood test too close to the fight weakens you, youll still take the fight and let the other guy whoop ur arse?
how dumb is that?
maybe youll do that for 40million like wat shane did.. but manny is not goin for the $$ he wants to be in good mental phase to put floyd face on the canvas...

come on people other way around it will still be the same...
LET THE COMMISION DO THEIR JOB... period

I've seen him live read Tagalog on huge ass cue cards when he was shooting his "Show Me Da Manny" TV show. But English? I don't know.
