Sure, Mayweather has never missed a 147 pound weigh in. But.. Manny has never failed a drug test, either.
Sure, You could make a claim that Manny LOOKS like he COULD be on some type of substance. But, with Mayweather failing to make weight, you could JUST AS EASILY make a case for Mayweather finding advantages with not trying as hard to make the proper weight.
They both know that both are likely clean and both are going to make weight. They are simply using this as a way to get under the skin of the other. Dumb, but that's business.

And if I recall correctly, Manny's side asked for the weight penalty before the drug testing request.

man, how many times do we have to repeat this?

if it did come out of floyds mouth, theres nothing to believe and it should be taken with a grain of salt...easy work

Slander isn't going to get you what you want, unless, making negotiations fall through was the goal with libel.
Any man who has pride in his work and integrity wouldn't give in to demands based off of no facts, it's a poor mans extortion, school yard mind games . I myself would never give another that kind of power and leverage over me unless it was beaten into me or my family was in danger.

Mayweather hasn't failed a test, either. What's your point? Not failing doesn't mean you're su****ious. It means that some fighters "cheat" and some don't. Means nothing here as the charges are STRICTLY hearsay.

Considering floyd has never weighed over the ww limit of 147 pounds for a ww fight.
Thanks guys.
Plain and simple. They are robbing the fans. Guess neither care. Im a floyd fan but if manny doesnt want to take the test he doesnt have to unless the boxing commissions overhaul their rules.
Hopefully a compromise can be reached before 1 loses or gets to old.
