You cannot expect him to reveal his primary sources for this. That would be a violation of rule no.1. for journalists.

Originally posted by BattlingNelson View PostAs for the article there's several points that has to be adressed not only by Mayweather but also, and IMO more importantly, by GBP. These next weeks will be ugly. I guarantee it.
One thing for certain is that if Hauser is wrong, there should be several defamation suits on his way.
If they don't arrive, well then....

Originally posted by DempseyRollin View Postmy problem with this is who do u write an article as a jorunalist and use rumours as the basis for your argument? thats not journalism. thats unacceptable and its irresponsible. if u are gonna report something, u better damn well have the facts and the primary sources to back it up. i dont get how journalists get away with this, in every other professional literary field, u could never do that. but its ok to post rumor as fact. compelling article? sure if u are so ready to believe whatever someone tells u.

Originally posted by DempseyRollin View Postjournalists indeed do protect their sources but hauser didnt even quote a source! i suggest u take a journalism class. this is really unacceptable. ask any journalist if they could get away with this writing for a major paper and i guarantee u theyd laugh. u dont write an article based on rumors and then expect it to be taken seriously. the fact that he didnt quote even one source in the article says everything that needs to be said.
No comparison as this is sports and not politics, but have you ever heard about the term Watergate?

His reputation isn't at stake BECAUSE HE ISN'T SAYING ANYTHING. Did any of you read this???
He is recycling the rumors, no facts, just rumors. He isn't claiming anything, other then rumors. He isn't showing evidence anything, other then rumors. Regarding Floyd in this article the only thing he claims is....there were ****ing rumors. Hauser isn't wrong on that, there were indeed rumors. Unfortunately rumors don't mean ****.

Originally posted by Rocco Cain View PostThe timeline here is a bit unclear. Did Floyd's positive test take place after the Cotto fight or before? Also I'm surprised there isn't a specific drug linked to the positive test.
I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that Floyd takes/took hydrocodone(Vicodin), which isn't on USADA's list of banned substances; but just about every other opioid painkiller is.
rofl k, Floyd is a cheat, worse than Margarito.

Like I said, Hauser isn't infallible. He writes for MaxBoxing, which skews heavily toward Top Rank (which is why he avoids bashing them even though their hands are just as dirty). And he bashed HBO forever until they hired him. But anyone who saw Mayweather's reaction the question regarding TRT has to know something is amiss, I don't care if you're a Mayweather stan or not.
