Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Says Freddie Roach Fired Alex Ariza

[Bushidō]

Don't think Pacquiao really needs him.

''cycling on and off''. You do realise it takes at least 30 days to fully get that **** out of your system right?

Do your homework please. Some substances can't be detected after as little as a day or two. That's why random testing is so critical because you don't know when you'll be tested, it helps scare the athlete from cheating despite the fact some drugs can't be detected little time after usage.

No. Ariza was fired coz he was not up and up on how to neutralize the advanced peds Pac needs. He should have talked to Memo.

User since 2009, and still in red.. hmm, I wonder why?

What Marquez is doing is very obvious. That can't be denied.

I want to see Pacquiao-Rios do the random drug testing. I want to see how Pacquiao performs after that. I can't wait to see how Matthysse performs for the same reason.

You do realize that it was Pac's team that asked specifically for VADA testing in this fight right?

Pac's never juiced, he seemed to believe he could beat his opponent if they were on juice or not, that is until the whole memo/marquez fight. Now he's more hesitant about facing someone who could be roided like JMM.

Depends on what it is. Some are gone in day or even hours.

Actually Pac originally said it would be USADA. Ironic, since they were Satan's drug testing facility when Floyd wanted them.
So what does say about all the excuses that were made during the original negotiations? Why doesn't taking blood weaken him anymore? What about superstition? Afraid of needles? Missed time from training? Where did those reasons go? Why is it ok for him and not a "roadblock" against in a much smaller money fight, but it's not acceptable and is a roadblock when it's Mayweather asking for it in the biggest fight ever? He originally held up the biggest fight ver over a cutoff date. Now essentially he says " on second thought, I don't need that cutoff date anymore", and no one seems to be calling him on it! Amazing!!!!

Yep. Got fired because Marquez's chemist prevailed. Good riddance. Guy was a sleaze bag.

Manny should be knows as one of the guys w/the biggest balls inside of the ring, but the smallest ones outside of it. Ariza doesn't work for Roach, he works for Manny. It's been we'll documented that Roach AND Arum have previously tried to get Manny to fire Ariza. Manny should grab his nuts and either keep Ariza or say "It was my decision to let him go", not pawn it off on Roach. This is the man that wants to President of the Philippines for GOD SAKES!!!

first off, pac never said anything, those reports came from his advisor, koncz
pacquiao asked for testing, they were originally going with usada(floyd loves these guys), but arum said they should use vada, so he did

obviously he doesn't really care who it is aslong as the testing is done
