Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I'm Fine With Random Testing, It's Good For Boxing

[Marvellous1]

Whatever their shortcomings in the first negotiation, Arum attempted to do it right with Haymon and then HBO president Ross Greenburg's supervision, who later said, "I don't know why Floyd walked away," admitting that Pacman agreed to everything Floyd wanted.

Bottom line is, the world didn't come crashing down after the first negotiation. Floyd walked away in the second one, "I'll take a long vacation and spend time with my family..."

Answer the question. Why such a 180 on testing and four years to actually participate?

To be honest, year round testing with USADA doing it is useless. VADA needs to step in.

The guy who started it all has been getting away with positive test results.

Pac fans trying to divert the fact that pac stick his foot in his mouth.

Are you reading responses or you're just hell bent on defending your hero? The second negotiation was supervised by former HBO exec Ross Greenburg. That was after the Mosley/Mayweather fight. Do you want me to provide links or Google it yourself?

Your idol walked away and spent time with Don King. He came back demanding $100 million.

EXACTLY!!!! IT WAS A PRIDE THING FOR PAC!!!! Pacquiao was P4P #1 back then while Floydriod went into retirement so he could beef up on HGH before he came back. Floyd doesn't ask such demands with any other fighters...only Pacquiao. Why is that? Because every boxer has someone who has there number... I think Pacman had Floyd's and he knew it, or they would've already fought already.

It may have been a pride thing in 2009 (I doubt it). Now it is a money thing, as in $32 million, $32 million and $41.5 million, which are the guarantees for Mayweather's last three fights. Compare that to receiving $5 million guarantees and a total of $10 to $12 million because your fights don't sell well on PPV instead of the $40 million Mayweather offered him in 2012 and you now have Pacquaio's motivation for agreeing to random drug testing.

I am sure you and the other Pac worshippers will disagree with this and claim it is because Pacquaio is such a wonderful person who is genuinely interested in cleaning up the sport.

The FRAUDSTER knew Pac was too FAST, and HIT too HARD.
For the Self Proclaimed GOAT, to risk the Precious 0, and his
Health. If Our Hero is so Great Why Did he need the Testing to
Begin With???

Divert!

ok, so we dont really see a contract...just Floyd talkin about it and im gonna believe that because Floyd never lies...gotcha!

Quite a reversal he made there, the delaying tactics are strange too.

I called it we will get May vs PAC in May 2014! I called it last year in may

May is cherrypicking season....too soon....Maybe Fall 2014 or May2015. Floyd has still to beat the dangerous Amir Khan in May2014, P4P in the WBC Khan is #1 in the rankings...LMAO (what a flop of a fight and a bought out ranking system). Funny how the IBF isn't regarding Ortiz as a contender for Molina but the WBC can be bought out by GBP.

Fact of the matter is that both fighters are running out of credible opponents so you may be correct.

[J The UnBiased]

Floyd should have faced him in 2010...period.

I like Mayweather as a fighter, but he is gonna have to live with that the rest of his life.

If Floyd would have beat him and possible dominated him....then he would have been top 5 ATG no doubt.

Pure Blasphemy. You all really think that Manny was this mythical creature that if you beat you're automatically a god. Stop it.

didn't say you had to believe it lol, I just said I knew what video that guy was talkin about lol

Floyd would need to hold the contract with two government issued ID's and a certified Public notary present all filmed in HD camera holding two different newspapers

otherwise I would call B.S
