They know he's on PED's and they don't care. They just don't want him exposed.

pac agreed to floyd first proposal. why change now unless you are trying to be difficult or floyd doesn't want the fight.

obviously, Pac is on a chase-mode. It's only after FLoyd schooled Mosley that Pac is choking to do something about the previous demand from FLoyd about the drug test. But the ship has sailed already, so to speak, long before Pac started changing his tune. FLoyd had declared that 14day cut-off is no longer on the table, randmon test till the very day of the fight is the new deal. and don't be surprised if FLoyd will ask for more than 50% of the pot, as his price has risen in value since the Marquez fight, while Pac on the other hand has de-valued after the CLottey fight. are we clear? Obviously FLoyd has the upperhand at this point in the negotiation (or th rumor of it).

I don't think that Lem Satterfield did Alex Ariza much of a favour here.....

* This article starts off by introducing Ariza as a " conditioning guru " who works with Pac, Khan, and Martirosyan.

* Then it states that Ariza is aware that " people may perceive any of the three fighters -- Pacquiao in particular -- as being under the influence of performance enhancing drugs. "

* Then it immediately states that " Ariza doesn't believe that random blood and urine testing has a place in boxing "

* Then it quotes Ariza giving three different reasons why not.

It's one thing for Ariza to even comment on the doping issue, but he should not have put himself in a position.that allowed a journalist to write this about him.....

" Ariza doesn't believe that random blood and urine testing has a place in boxing "

And three different reasons means that he just doesn't want USADA anywhere near his fighters.

Ariza is the last person to be commenting against the random testing. It's a clear case of conflict of interest! If I were him, I'd say bring it on, while trying to stop the test behind the scene, not in front of the reporters! ****** ****!

now manny pac agrees when he found out mayweather is a bigger draw!!!! now that it is %100 clear to all that mayweather is a bigger draw manny wants to do 14days and still take %50 percent!!! thats ***** ****!!!

mayweather is the bigger draw so he calls the shots!!! when manny pac sells more PPV than mayweather then manny can call the shots!!! but untill then mayweather is in controll!!!

A true ***** response! pac didn't have to change his stance for floyd, he did it to get the fight many people want to see going. I dont understand *****s that get angry for the fact that pac is trying to make a reasonable agreement. Its like they would rather defend floyds decision to stall than rather see a fight.

"Ariza doesn't believe that random blood and urine testing has a place in boxing.."

What? That sounds insane. Sure, we will just take everybody's word for it. They are on the honor system. We all know that boxers are the most honest athletes.

******ITY or IGNORANCE?

How is pac ducking the tests if he is agreeing to the 14 days and random urine that floyd proposed. It was good enough then but it is not now? please can a ***** answer this question. If 14 days as you say is not good enough and still gives time for pac to cheat, why were you and floyd all down for it on the first negotiations if you still think it gives him time to cheat? Please answer?
