Comments Thread For: Fighting Words: Pacquiao/Steroids: Rumor Creates Ruckus

[Maidana vs Rios]

Mr. David,

Rafael Palmeiro failed a urine test.

just sayin'....

[Pullcounter]

I think he should take the test, anyone and everyone should if asked,

pac wasn't asked... he was specifically targeted and accused.

the commission needs to make it mandatory of all fighters.

I'm all for it... all fighters as mandated by the commission

Do i think bhop is on something? Not at all but he should take the test just to make a point.

and yet bhop isn't taking the test and floms and pac-haters say there's nothing to it. trust me, it's a sham. they don't really care about OST.

people who talk a lot and brag a lot are like floyd whose brain is one dimensional and does not care for the fans. And eventually don't care for the sport that he has. All he wants was to win with someone whom he picks before he fights.

If it was tyson that was being accused by floyd of using some drugs then that would be an epic war.

You have to look at the bigger picture and not just Pacquiao. The world of sports in this day an age is plagued by performance enhancing drugs. I've you're a fan of any other sport besides boxing, you would realize just how rampant it is throughout. Boxing seems to just turn a blind eye to it all even after having Shane Mosley linked to the whole Balco scandal. The drugs are out there in mass quan****** and athletes want the edge at all costs. It shouldn't matter how nice of a guy an athlete is, everyone is under su****ion.

Pac already agreed to the tests. Indeed, part of the blame (or entirely, depending on your point of view) goes to Pac for not agreeing to the tests in the first place, but he has since changed his mind and agreed to it.

Ross Greenberg attested to there being no more issue regarding the blood tests and neither Richard Schaefer nor dela Hoya or anyone in Golden Boy disputed his statements.

they may have said the Bobster lied, or that Manny contradicts himself, but NOBODY at Golden Boy disputed Ross Greenbergs statements to this day.

I've said my piece. you may believe those points above or not, its entirely up to you.

[LMFAO]

An entire nation of Pac Stans just "believes" their Congroidsman's 40 million dollar "superstition" and fully supports it.

Too bad anyone with any common sense which includes the rest of the planet is "superstitious" of lame excuses, and "superstitious" of "just believing" a professional athlete in a blood sport who STILL hasn't submitted to a simple blood test.... Especially when millions do it on a daily basis and don't become "weakened" by it....Even people in said Congroidsman's own country. The Congroidsman doesn't want to prove the people who don't "just believe" that their "Superstitions" and su****ions about him are wrong.

The intelligent people aren't buying the Congroidsman's act. Like it or not.

BEATS, BOXING & MAYHEM : … Now, you’re willing to compromise on the blood testing. You weren’t as flexible earlier this year and walked away to take another fight. Do you regret not compromising during the first negotiations and fighting Joshua Clottey?

PACQUIAO : … [Pauses] Um, no. I feel like I don’t need Mayweather to make my career. I fought the best and anyone willing to face me. I want it, and feel the fans deserve the [Mayweather] fight. I want to prove to everyone that it wasn’t me who didn’t want the fight. That’s why I made the concession to take anything [blood tests] he wants at any time. Even during the fight before the sixth round if he wanted! What [else] can I do? I hope we get the fight done soon. Let’s get it on.

Tired of it

Wow. I see the same morons are making the same arguments. The Floyd fans on this site are such a joke.

PAC fans: Why are you worried about convincing the 20-30 morons on this site that Pac is clean? 99.9% of the world knows the truth. Credible publications pay these allegations no attention. Rational, intelligent people worldwide realize that this is nothing more than a smear campaign by an extremely insecure fighter.

A MUST read before jumping into the steroid *****s http://bit.ly/kwFiZ8

[Imhotep]

floyd fans CANNOT accept that Pac agreed to the test. that's because it would simply mean that Floyd has been willfully avoiding Pac.

in their case, the truth hurts and therefore comfort themselves in lies and ignoring the facts.

No the truth hurts for you so you try to twist the story around to save Pacquiao`s image. here`s the article where Pacquiao agree`s to 14 day cutoff not random test up to the day of the fight.And floyd said after he signed to fight Mosley that he`s not giving Pacquiao anymore cutoff dates.

Manny Pacquiao agrees to 14-day blood-testing limit




Manny Pacquiao v Miguel Cotto
Pacquiao has said that he would fight one more fight

Filipino star Manny Pacquiao has given the clearest indication yet that he is willing to compromise over Floyd Mayweather's drug-testing demands.

Pacquiao says he would now be willing to take a blood test 14 days ahead of any fight with his American rival.

"I have agreed to it, but they should not draw much blood," he said.

Negotiations for a bout between the pair fell through earlier this year when the unbeaten Mayweather insisted on Olympic-style random drug testing.

Five-weight world champion Pacquiao said: "They should only take what is necessary for the drug test."

Have your say on this story

The 31-year-old, who previously said he does not like giving blood close to his fights, added: "14 days," when stating the time limit for blood to be taken before the fight.

In the run-up to their aborted March bout, Mayweather called for repeated blood testing up to the day of the fight. Pacquiao, who has never failed a doping test, wanted a 30-day cut-off.

Mayweather later said he agreed to a 14-day cut-off but that Pacquiao would not accept it.

Since then they have faced different opponents, with Mayweather beating Shane Mosley and Pacquiao defeating Joshua Clottey.

A fight between the pair, widely regarded and the two best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, would also likely be the richest in the sport's history, with Las Vegas or Dallas the likely venue.

"He [Mayweather] will no longer have a reason [not to fight]," added Pacquiao. "Let's see if that is really the reason."

Earlier this month, Pacquiao said he would have one last fight after securing a seat in the Philippine Congress by a huge margin.

His chief financial adviser Michael Konzc added that 6 November and 13 November had been set aside as potential dates for his next bout.

If it is not against Mayweather, Mexico's Antonio Margarito is his other likely opponent.
