SMH @ Freddie. Roach "How about we drug test Floyd every month"

[shogunn]

Floyd fans, i know you think floyd is god, but there's no way in hell he deserves 100% of the PPV revenue. That is floyd playing duck, there's no other way of putting it.

But keep using testing as an excuse, its your warm blanket that keeps you from the cold at night.

I think it was very ****** for Manny to say such a thing, but even more ****** would be for Floyd to blow off this fight all together just because Pac mentioned that. Floyd is the king of contradiction, yet all of a sudden he wants to hold someone to their word? LOL. Do what's right. Split the revenue and get it on. Is Floyd forgetting that Pac has outsold him in overall ppv's over the span of both their careers? Pac puts more asses in seats and brings in more revenue to LV when he fights. Yet Floyd feels that he doesnt deserve ANY ppv revenue? Haha. That roadblock is worse than pathetic.

i respectfully disagree. it wasn't ****** for manny to say such thing, especially when he did give an offer consistent to his statement which is getting the smaller purse... IF floyd wins over him.

that was a sly move in my opinion.

a pity that floyd refused the offer.

FREDDIE ROACH: "HOW ABOUT WE DRUG TEST FLOYD EVERY MONTH"
By Felix Strunk | March 13, 2012

According to Hall-of-Fame trainer Freddie Roach, undefeated pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather should practice what he preaches when it comes to Olympic-style drug testing. "If he wants to drug test, that's fine, but how about we drug test Floyd every month? He preaches Olympic-style drug testing, but he isn't being tested when he isn't in training camp," Roach explained during a recent interview, suggesting that the random blood and urine testing conducted by the United States Anti-Doping Agency whenever Mayweather fights is not really Olympic-style testing due to the fact that it does not take place year-round. "Nobody is testing him while he isn't training because he is off the radar. He needs to practice all of that stuff he preaches."

It's a fact that certain reporters have also made it a point to harp on, questioning the effectiveness of the testing if it's only conducted during a certain timeframe. While Roach may have a point about the random testing only taking place during the 10 or so weeks leading up to the bout, there's no denying that it's a much more stringent testing policy than what's currently in place with the state athletic commissions. Plus, the fact that it's being conducted by the same organization (USADA) responsible for testing Olympic athletes makes it just about as close to Olympic-style testing as you can get. "Floyd Mayweather brought the random blood and urine Olympic-style drug testing to the sport of professional boxing, which is a great thing, especially when you got two of the best fighters, you know, of this era competing at this top level, you should have the best testing so both fighters can be on an even playing field," Mayweather would comment during a press conference to promote the bout. This will be Mayweather's third fight in a row being subjected to USADA's testing procedures, spanning a two-year timeframe.

Although this will be the first time that Miguel Cotto will be participating in the same type of testing, he's no stranger to the procedures and welcomes the opportunity, echoing the sentiments of Mayweather. "If sports is something about skills, conditioning, preparation, and you have to be clear, you know? In all sports, you have to be clear and if you can contribute for making the sport better or more clear, I'm not mad with that. I agree with that because I'm a sportsman and all I want is a clear, more clear sport that people can trust. People can sit in their homes and watch real fighters who isn't using anything to have an advantage," he remarked, expressing his willingness to participate in hopes of bringing about change to the sport. "It's the same system I used for the Olympics in 2000. It's a simple pinch. Four, six, eight times during the camp. It isn't going to be bigger than a spoon of blood. It isn't going to take anything out from me."

All this talk about drug testing from Roach, and I've still yet to see Pacquaio take one god damn test.

^^^Pacquiao take the test in every fight...you don't know ***** about boxing .

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Î think the term "Olympic style" is being misunderstood....yes, dudes in the Olympics get tested all year....Floyd just wanted to have them tested ALL camp....so in essence its Olympic "style" in regards to the way they're tested....random visits!!...but not the EXACT same testing period as the Olympians....I think ppl have misconstrued things a bit

some may like to do military style training.....but may not perform the same amount of reps or train under the extreme circumstances as a actual military person.....thats why its called military STYLE training....ya dig?!?

Why half-arse it if you want to "clean up the sport"? Might as well just do the commission testing if you aren't gonna go all the way.

Well I agree but the 70/30 offer came after Pac made that statement. In my opinion, that's a true testament of who really wants this fight! Pac is willing to risk millions of dollars just to entice Floyd into getting in the ring with him. Funny as how we never even heard a response to that offer from Floyd or anyone from his camp.

[AFighter4U]

Once again...you need to be a bit more clear. Are you referring to Floyd's ******ity for blowing off the fight, or Manny's for making a ****** statement?

If its Pac you're referring to, it was ****** because Floyd looking for another roadblock used Pac's words against him to prevent the fight from happening. Pac gave him the ammunition to throw up the roadblock. That's how.

at this point, even if manny didn't say what he said, floyd would have most likely found something ELSE to complain about and stop the negotiations.

[The Big Dunn]

It IS a roadblock! For the past 2yrs the only thing ACCORDING TO FLOYD that was preventing this fight from happening was TESTING! He has went on the record numerous times to say so. There's even video of him saying that money isnt an issue and that has all been worked out. All he wants is to ensure that both fighters are on an even playing field. Now Pac, Arum, and even Ellerbe acknowledge that testing is a non issue and Pac will submit to whatever testing Floyd asks for. All of a sudden, now Floyd doesnt want to split the ppv revenue with someone who has brought in more revenue that him? Why is this all of a sudden an issue? U telling me this isnt a roadblock? GTFO!

Look man if you can't be honest about who brought uppurse split purse then we can end this debate. I'm not going to rewrite history. I can completely understand why you focus on the times this fight was negotiated after Dec 2009.

At some point, maybe in the pinoy lounge or a private conversation, you need to admit to yourself that manny made a mistake. I get you want the fight and want floyd to give manny what he wants to make this fight happen. But business doesn't work like that.

None of these endless threads and back and forth would happen if 5 years ago floyd took manny's position with ODH. At some point floyd realized I gotta take it or leave it. He took it.

Lying about or overvaluing manny's revenue doesn't add anything to this debate. Sure manny has outsold floyd in his last 3 fights. But that doesn't make him #1. That reasoning is like Invincible, jimmy and freedom saying vitali is undefeated.

Manny waited and waited and waited and finally agreed to testing. Maybe you think thats ok. Bottom line is manny played it his way and it didn't work out. DOn't blame anyone else for that.

i agree with you 100%.

You can't keep track of your own statements? You called what Manny did as "very ******", go back and read your own post...it doesn't get any clearer than that. And LOL at your answer. How was Floyd "looking for another roadblock"?

[AFighter4U]

i saw his post and was wondering whether he hadn't realised this too

the fact that he never replied to my post means he realized it as well.
