Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Forget Money, Pacquiao Must Be Tested

[fcastro1]

Floyd also said Pac is next. Talk is cheap and Pac's given 8 excuses as to why he wouldn't test.

When he publicly signs a document or contract on agreeing to random testing then its official and the ball is in Floyd's court. Once pen and paper is met, the he said she said does not mean anything.

In the meantime what excuse from Pac do you believe?

floyd only talks when pac is signed to fight. when its time to negotiate he is on vacation. keep that in mind.

floyd making noise against pac and not against ortiz who he choose to fight instead of pac... promotional strategy..

Were the Mosley and Ortiz fights signed when PBF was still on vaction?

You have been on your **** the last 2 posts. I couldn't agree more. But we all know, see and understand being the humble nice guy in public will get you a pass from the media and fans. Look at how vilified Barry Bonds was and look and how they covered Mark McGuire. It was no where near the same but they both committed the same offense.

A supposed devout christian cheated on his wife but he wouldn't take steroids. How does that even make sense? I mean people gonna tell me a man who is supposed to be so religious would break one of the 10 commandments but tell me there is no way he would take steroids and cheat boxing.

I am NOT saying Manny is on anything or has done a damn thing but I will never put it past him.

Nobody is perfect we all make mistakes MYSELF included!!!!!!

I mean people gonna tell me a man who is supposed to be so religious would break one of the 10 commandments but there is no way he would take steroids and cheat boxing. They hate when you bring this up!!

When money is involved no one is good or bad. Bob Arum was a Justice Dept lawyer who eventually got convicted of bribery. Money corrupts everything and anyone who argues differently on this board is an idiot.

Manny's primary jobs are prize fighting and politics. Are there two more corrupt professions than these?

Manny will never fight Floyd cause he will never feel comfortable testing.

He should just get money off the fighters who just want a payday.

This whole thing is ignorant at this point.

I have never heard of a professional athlete having the freedom of not
testing when there is this much scandal surrounding him. That alone
would be enough for any professional to want to clear his name.

where is the scandal. its the mayweathers that brought this up. those tests are not compulsory. pac has accepted but floyd is still playing the situation like its still an issue, because he wants people to think pacs a cheat, or he is ducking the test but it isnt true. Floyd dont want it, because when its time to negotiate he is on vacation or quiet. he only starts talking when pacs signed to fight. thats smart ducking in my mind.

Wess:

In all seriousness this isn't a moral debate its a financial one plain and simple. Manny, for all his talent and success and achievements in the sport, took a cash payout from GBP while still signed to Top Rank. That is illegal. Dude isn't doing Wapakman and making records for free. Dude damn near pulled out of the Hatton fight over dough. FLOYD AND PED TESTING HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH!!

At the end of the day Manny hasn't tested positive and deserves the benefit of the doubt. But for anyone to act like this dude wont do shady stuff for money is just being blind. Hate floyd, love him, if he';s gay, if his dad did drugs, went to jail, if floyd is broke, beats his baby's mama eyc etc etc, Manny has proven he will do illegal and shady things for more money.

In this vein, PED use would hardly be his worst offense.

"For the love of money, is the ruler of all evil".

It is what it is. The fact that steroids do exist and EVERYONE knows it yet do not agree with better testing standards because its not the way testing has been done before.... I wonder if people where this ignorant when urine testing was brought up?

The fact doesn't change that steroids DO exists and DO infect boxing and all other sports. It's a fact...

No matter what motives Mayweather has, the point that blood testing is in fact a better testing standard than the current system that has in fact failed.

It really shows the "fanboyism" for people not to agree to better testing JUST because the fighter they hate is requesting it.

The point STILL remains that OST is in fact a better testing standard no matter WHO'S requesting it or what there motives are.

[Tamis!]

You really favor Ortiz over Floyd?

Do you just want to see Floyd lose that much or do you really think Ortiz is that good?

I favor Ortiz over Floyd NOT because Ortiz on paper has what it takes to beat Floyd, but because of Floyd's inactivity and ring rust will take toll then by that Ortiz has a chance.

It's just points anyways

you can say that about anyone, dont use that as an excuse. everyone should be held to the same standards but to pinpoint pac with no real evidence is a ***** move.

dont bring morality to the discussion when it concerns floyd. weve seen his real character, so what makes you think he wont play the situation that benefits him.

[The Big Dunn]

you really talking **** now dunn. How is a contractual dispute got anything to do with peds. damn floyd took xycolain before a fight so that makes him more likey to do something shady to keep his 0 intact.

anyway why do you *****s keep making peds an issue when pac and his team already accepted. Floyd is trying to play that card to make it seem pac dont want it or is cheating, but its floyd who doesnt want it.

remember when he was asked about the ross greenburg situation, he didnt have **** to say. when pac has fight he comes out the woodworks. when pac is free to negotiate he is quiet as a mouse. dont be fooled by what floyd is doing. dude is cagey and he knows what hes doing.

Fcastro!:

Yes floyd took xylocaine and yes he is the son of a convicted felon. But what does that have to do with your personal assessment of whether manny pacquio may or may not use PED's? No matter what is true about floyd's background, criminal history or how you personally spin anything, what does that have to do with Manny.

Manny has shown in his personal and professional life to do things that are illegal and immoral. As such, if he used PED's and I'm not saying he has, It wouldn't even be his worse offense. You can't argue otherwise.

floyd only talks when pac is signed to fight. when its time to negotiate he is on vacation. keep that in mind.

Wait, I thought Floyd talked too much? lol Really all you can come up with is a statement about how YOU think Floyd only talks when Pac is signed?

I must have missed it, what excuse out of the 8 from Pac did you believe?
