Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Continues To Pressure Mayweather To Fight

[IMDAZED]

Ugh the welter weight division is a fight that takes place anywhere between 147 and 141 pounds so whats the problem? There is no NSAC rule anywhere that states that a welterweight fight "has" to happen with maximum weight limit of 147 pounds. So what exactly are you crying about?

1. FIGHTERS instituting their own weight penalties over the NSAC's is more uncommon than OSTs.

2. Manny Pacquiao began this trend.

Why not just fight floyd for free while he's at it? And seriously why does it have to be manny to have to make all the sacrifices. I know you are a Floyd fan and you can't help but back up your man but don't you think "Both" fighters need to make some sacrifices here and not just Manny?

the way I see it is he had the chance to accept a 14 day cut off and 50/50 months ago. Manny side broke off talks and everyone says Floyd is scared. Why is no one saying manny is scared? his side stopped negotiations. so now if he is not scared of floyd and he really wants to fight why not just sign and fight???

Lets allow the NSAC to decide about the drug testing. As for the split it should be 50/50 because they need each other.

Why does El BOY CONTINUE to PUNK OUT???

How so, pistol? Explain in your own words.

Ugh you said that Manny's camp made up the rule and it was just shown to you that the 10 million$ weight penalty actually matches up with rules set fourth by the NSAC.


So once again Manny never made up any rule in the first place.

Yeah he did. His rule isn't the NSAC's rule.

Because he wants to make the ****ing fight happen... I thought the answer to that question would be clear as day to most people.

No cut off? Right, like the no cut off on the May/Mosley fight that turned out to be 18 days.

It wasnt a cutoff, they didnt know when they would stop testing, so the test itself being random is a deterrent. Imagine you and I are about to fight, and I am accused of roiding etc. Well if we have actual random testing, I wont do it because I can be tested at anytime, not 24 or 14 days out, so I can start as soon as the last test happens.

Neither shane nor floyd knew when teh last test would be.... For all we know pacquiao could have been tested on 18 days before the fight as well, if he had accepted random, since he didnt want random, floyd siggested 14 days.

WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO ASK YOURSELF IS THIS....
HOW IS IT THAT THE TEST WAS SO BAD FOR PACQUIAO 2 1/2 MONTHS AGO, BUT NOW HES READY TO FIGHT BY OLD NEGOTIATION RULES?

Could it be that he didnt want to risk losing and then also lose the election????

Pac man started the catchweight trend? *** dude use google before you open your mouth for christ sake. Here are 12 ***ing catchweight fights that happened over the years going back all the way to 1925. This article doesn't even include the Pavlik-Hopkins fight for christ sake.

And manny didn't institute any rules 25% of a 40 million$ purse is 10 ***ing million. Thats a rule in the NSAC handbook so unless Manny invented mathmatics then 10 million is exactly right.

I didn't say Pac started the catchweight trend. I said Pac started the trend of instituting his own weight infraction fee. We know the NSAC has a rule in place, just like they have drug testing in place. But Pac likes to make his own rules. Why don't you provide a list of that?

[pistol whip]

Yeah he did. His rule isn't the NSAC's rule.

So you are just gonna completely ignore the post that was made that had a link to an exact quotation from the NSAC rulebook that stated that the weight penalty is 25% of the fighter purse???

Hello!!!!!





10 million weight penalty for Floyd is within the rules. NSAC weight penalty is 25 % of the purse. Floyds purse is 40 mil, so 25% of that is 10 mil.

http://leg.state.nv.us/NAC/NAC-467.html#NAC467Sec522

1. An unarmed combatant who fails to make the weight agreed upon in his bout agreement forfeits: (a) Twenty-five percent of his purse if no lesser amount is set by the Commission’s representative; or
(b) A lesser amount set by the Executive Director and approved by the Commission,
****unless the weight difference is 1 pound or less.
2. A forfeit must be divided equally between the other unarmed combatant and the Commission.
3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3 of NAC 467.476 and subsection 2 of NAC 467.7956, if, during the 1 hour following the time of weighing in, an unarmed combatant is able to make the weight or weighs 1 pound or less outside the agreed limits, no forfeit may be imposed or fine assessed upon him.
