Mayweather Promotions and "OST"

[maguirre]

I won't be surprised if he gives up this OST shyet of his in his next fight with whoever.

Who wants to see two old dudes knocking at your door extracting a tube of blood from your already tired body because of strenuous training?

They can't even make it up to the day of the fight like they claim they would. If it does happen, it would most likely stop at 18 days again with all sorts of silly excuses.

this is all pretty obvious...................

For testing there must be reasons!...

[Hi-Dro]

Hahahahahah!!!

I double that hahahahahha

[VoodooChild]

Since all the drug experts are back I'm wondering if someone could address my post.

If JMM would've beaten floyd every fighter would be drinking piss right now

As pac said, JMM forgot to eat his **** ... w/c is why he lost!

[FerdinandMarcos]

blah OST thats old news...on to new things..like promoting beating women

not sure how thats going to clean up the sport though..


it will all become clear in time as Mayweather is a genious.

But glove loading is OK??

Last I checked Floyd had a license.

I don't know if anybody caught this the first time around in their negotiations, but they wanted OST specifically for the Pacquiao fight. They never stated, "yeah, I'm testing year round." One would have to think it's cheaper to test for a specific period than year round if it's only requested upon for a certain amount of time.

If year round testing is what was wanted by Mayweather (which it wasn't), they'd take that up with the the commission to see that change made but the NSAC has been closed minded from the start stating that their testing is sufficient enough, which Shane Mosley disagrees with.

Ellerbe made it clear back in december that specifically for this bout, they'd use OST from the start of the press tour and ending after the fight.

So you say, why isn't he cleaning up the sport? Well, he implemented the test against Mosley, so he's followed through. What isn't making sense to most is that Dion Savage, Said Quali, Cornelius Locke, all those guys... they're not on the elite level that Mayweather, Pacquiao, Mosley, any of those guys are. Andre Ward and Allan Green made statements about how they'd be more than obliged to take part in OST.

The main issue here is that, nobody, specifically state boxing commisions, want to deal with doling out the finances to make this feat possible for high profile fights. How to find a solution?

Sanctioning body bodies want fees to fight for their title belts, why don't state athletic commissions just charge a fee for that style of testing to take place?

OST by definition is a YEAR ROUND process my dude. Not only that, the Mayweather camp AND Al Haymon have stated that they are "trying to clean up the sport", not that they just want testing for Floyd's fights and thats it. They set out a PR campaign to put pressure on Pacquiao to fold to Floyd's demands and it backfired.

Not one fighter from Mayweather promotions has undergone "OST's" and no other Al Haymon fighter has done so as well. It was all BS from the beginning.

Manny had a ***** load of demands himself...

8oz glove
50 50 split
10 million for every pound over 147

All agreed too...

Negotiations is a 2 way street..

Manny should just grow-up and CLEAN-UP and take the damn tests.

[swizz]

I checked the Mayweather promotions website and there is no mention of sponsored testing for their stable of fighters. I don't get it wasn't it Floyd's mission to clean up the sport? Why wouldn't he start with his very own promotion. He's spent more money on watches, rings and "making it rain" in the clubs than this would cost. Why hasn't he done it?

Floyd Mayweather, Dion Savage, Ouali Said and Jesse Vargas; all fighters under Mayweather promotions and none of them INCLUDING FLOYD do year round true OST testing. Somethings up here, what happened to Floyd's cause to clean up the sport that he loves?

why would you need something mention on the site

makes no sense
