Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs. Rios To Have USADA Drug Testing

[BoxingFollower]

forget the $40 million, that was last year. In 2010 he could have done it with a 14 day cut off for $60 or $70 mil.

well he might be look at 30 mil or less now

It's their last fail-safe excuse out the window.

If Sr and FMJ were right we should see a weaker Pacquiao with a smaller head getting outboxed and stopped by Brandon Rios. They know in their hearts it's not that.

Pac would have to be shot to get outboxed by Rios.

Also you ****ing tard how can something be an EXCUSE when all the other party had to do was accept?????

It was a contract term, plain and simple.

Mayweather started talking about the size of Pacquiao's head during his famous 'health comes first' rant where couldn't believe Pac was stopping Cotto and dropping Mosley.

I don't think Manny ever really cared about testing, Bob just didn't see it as his duty to pay for it (it costs around 100k).

50k each in a fight generating probably over $200,000,000 mil into PPV revenue alone.

Your brain shuts down whenever the topic comes to Mayweather.

Did Mayweather not agree to pay for the OST once?

it's irrelevant. 100k is a proverbial p*ss in the ocean. What's relevant is why is this guy only now accepting USADA testing, when he could have done so with a 14 day cut off for IN ALL SERIOUSNESS ABOUT $70 MILLION IN 2010????

why take a "vacation" for over a year?

Not even relevant my dude. Manny could have accepted this early 2010 when this was being negotiated FOR REAL with a 50% split of $$$ all the way down the line, his 8oz Cleto Reyes and his $10 mil per pound weight penalty after he just slapped Cotto and Floyd toyed with JMM.

The fight was never more relevant than it was at that moment, and vacations and everything aside it was MP and his team who turned down this fight over USADA testing.

Wasn`t Pac fans saying USADA is the devil?Watch them switch up on us now.And if Pacquiao would have agreed to random testing in the first negotiations the Floyd/Pac fight would have happened cause Floyd agreed to 50/50 and agreed to Pacquiao`s demand of paying 10 mill for every pound he comes over the 147 pound limit if he comes over the 147 pound limit.

So its obvious that Pacquiao ducked the fight in the first negotiations.Pacquaio did not want to fight with out his roids at the time.

September 9-2009
Pacquiao denies ever signing a contract to face Mayweather.

Because he was roided to the gills.


Was he clean in the Bradley fight?? Yes...
Was he clean in the last 2 Marquez fights?? Yes....
Was he clean during the negotiations??No

"insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results." i'd take a vacation too.

i still remember the stans paying lip service for two years, claiming manny pacman agreed to testing before they all got exposed by HBO and mike koncz. and some of them still believe that the little guy isn't at fault. it baffles me.

[luisivich]

Well, that's nothing but speculation on your part.

The actual reality and reason the fight fell apart in 2009 was nothing other than Pacquaio and his team refusing drug testing and thus walking away from the fight.

This is a fact.

Shame that it fell through then and they're doing it willingly now but better late than never.

it would be nice if a person could make his decisions base on situations 5 years to the future. pacquiao like all of us is just reacting to circumstances. after pacquaios first loss to morales there were interviews that pacquiao felt cheated by the nevada commission that he had to undergo blood and eye testing 2 days before that fight. even if its psychological it weakens him. mayweathers first request for blood testing in those times are unusual and pacquiao is just protecting himself with a cut-off having felt cheated in the morales loss. 2013 why is he agreeing to a blood test. its bacause of heredia. marquez hurt pacquiao whenever he touches him- no one predicted that marquez would be the stronger puncher. there is the su****ion on heredia so there's the test. if pacquiao would have known what would happen 5 years to the future- he would certainly agree to mayweather's demand of blood testing without cut-off dates. google pacquiao's interview after the morales loss. also google mayweather -pacquiao first negotiation.
