Comments Thread For: Arum: We Would Use WADA For Mayweather-Pacquiao

[The Big Dunn]

Your objection to Arum's wanting the IOC/WADA to oversee the testing makes no sense at all. For somebody who think of himself as smart, you are showing exactly the opposite. Give one credible reason as to why you are oppose to Arum's proposal. This proposal satisfies Floyd's demand and erases Arum's doubt of the USADA's partiality. It could finally resolve the testing issue. So what more do you want?

If The United States of America is where Manny earns his living then the USADA should be good enough to handle the testing. If Manny and Bob believe the USADA is so biased then fight everywhere else but the US and see how much money you make.

The notion that USADA is not the very best available option, is absurd.

You fanboys are clowns for acceptiing Arum's rubbish.

Especially since there is no other leading authority, let alone " gold standard ".

===========================================

Team Pacquiao's big ol' bag of ridiculous excuses.....

* " I dont like needles "

* " taking my blood the day before the fight will weaken me "

* " I am too proud to take the test "

* " Floyd is not the commission "

* " taking my blood will affect my training, even 23-days from the fight "

* " I feel too disrespected to take the test "

* " he is bigger than me, so it will weaken me, more than him "

* " USADA are corrupt "

===========================================

And after the Mayweather/Ortiz fight, there will be another excuse.....

Your assertion that the USADA is the best agency to do the testing and Arum' opposition to it because of his doubts, can be debated till kingdom come, but nothing will come out of it. It is a pointless argument and achieves no purpose. The fact is, acceptance of Arum's proposal brings the fight closer to fruition. And that is where the emphasis should be.

A very objective reply.

They are called WADA, and they do not conduct Olympic Standard Testing, they are a Regulatory Authority. USADA are the "gold standard" for Olympic Standard Testing, and they are without blemish, unlike Bob Arum.

Thats the mother of all backfires! Did you bother to actually read my post? you dont know what RADA is do you? Get googling and re-read my post you thick ****!

Changing their stance in order to make the fight happen does not in any way constitute lying. It is actually giving concession to make the fight happen as against a hardline position of "either my way or the highway".

Very well said man....

Wrong. They fully agreed yet now say USADA is biased. If they genuinly felt that way they couldn't have fully agreed like they claimed. They lied, as they are now back tracking and saying USADA is biased. Lol

You can't deny that they have held up the fight. They have.excuses after excuses, but at least the truth has come out.

I don't have any problems with the IOC/WADA overseeing it. I don't care who does, as long as its fair and it gets the fight done. My problem is that there are so many Pac fans that will yell "coward and duck" when it comes to floyd while having A LOT less proof, but when logical arguments on how the Pac team wasn't making these issues, while claiming that they already agreed to OST(depending on which answer they wanted to give on any particular day) and Pac is given a pass again. The stance then is "well, the fight will get done now, so be happy". If this was Floyd putting up road blocks or "moving the goal post", he is called a coward, whether he has good reason to or not. Fair is fair, if people are gonna say these things about Floyd, then they most certainly should be said about Pac as well.

The whole reason that this is happening is because of the "either my way or the highway" mentality of Pac's team. Floyd asked for OST from day 1 and what did they say originally? "Sure, no problem anytime". Then it started moving away from 0 days and gradually moved up to 30 days, meanwhile using an abundance of excuses. Only moving to 24 days after they were caught lying about when they are able to take blood. FLoyd from 0 to 14 days to get the fight done. Pac moved from 0 to 30 to 24. Did u praise on him moving from his hardline position then? Did you chastise Pac? Pac and team were then caught lying again about the 14 days and Floyd said forget it, now its zero days. Can you blame him? They were lying and trying to make him look like he was the one that didn't want the fight, when all they had to do was meet in the middle. Pac's team stuck to their hardline stance and have so until finally agreeing recently. Pac shouldn't be praised for 2 years later doing exactly what they said he would do in the beginning.

Let's not forget, the ONLY reason everyone isn't talking about the CRAZY, unprecedented 10mil per lb penalty for the 2 years is because FMJ accepted that demand from Pac. The reason we are talking about the OST is because Pac did not.

Makes sense to me! They are "world" champions, so why not use a "world" organization?
