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

[maguirre]

Will you people please stop bringing up Floyd?

Holmes, RJJ, Lewis, Foreman, Chuvalo, Duran, SRL, Hagler, Holyfield, Tyson, Judah... have all agreed that Floyd ducked Pacquiao. These are boxers and these are not Pacquiao fans.

Even if he agreed....Floyd would still find another excuse not to fight.....wait....Floyd DID find many other excuses not to fight..."Join TMT and give me 5 fights under TMT"....then we'll fight...PAC's a hasbeen that's why I'm fighting a real champ next....glass chin Amir Khan...the P4P best

You already know the answer to the should-woulda-coulda question...Floyd is full of it.

Couldn't have said it better Myself!!!

Floyd is totally irrelevant when the subject of Pacquiao is brought up. That guy wants nothing to do with Pacquiao.

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.

I agree....but it has always been a money thing and a pride thing.
That fight could bring upwards over $100 million each. This would be the fight of the century. Sponsors would be pouring in by the shiploads. $40 mil flat out for the biggest fight in their career? It is kinda demoralizing....now join TMT and give Floyd 5 fights under his promo company....c'mon now where's the logic behind that? So you are saying all the PPV buys are going to be Floyd fans? Where were they in the Floyd/Guerrero fight?

There is a video of Floyd holding and showing the "signed" contract and talking about it. It was posted on here before his fight with Ortiz. This was when Arum called off the fight because of the random drug testing.

lol, a video of Floyd holding a signed contract. well since Floyd said it, it must be true.

when Floydies stop bringing up Paquiao....it's the fight everyone wants to see

Those two are synonymous and will be throughout history...like Pac said: "Let's get it ON!!!"

[sapo13]

i think it was a matter of pride. mayweather was making all sorts of demands like he ran the show even though pac was more popular than him worldwide. it was pride but pac was willing to go with it then may put another stumbling block with money then he has to promote the fight. do you see the pattern.

Even though pac was more popular?? many pac has yet to outsell Mayweather in any venue Then and now?? so what are you talking about??

[jbpanama]

This is priceless. So if Mayweather refused the $10 million per pound over weight clause, would that have been a master stroke ducking move by Top Rank? This is just silly talk. If Rios said no to random testing now, would asking be a duck move? Again, silly talk.

Read the reports. Mayweather agreed to all terms and set one of random tesing. Testing it has taken Manny Pacquiao four years (and a brutal KO) to accept in practice as well as principle. Mayweather's a hypocrite on catchweights and Pacquiao's a hypocrite on testing. It's not such a hard thing to say. The truth shall set you free.

You must have missed the Part of With Anyone with a BRAIN.....
The 10 Million Penalty was because BOY Cheated and came in Over
the Agreed Weight Agreement with the then Blowen Up LW JMM!!!
If the CHUMP is so GREAT, What was he Afraid Of???

[richardt]

Agreeing "per se" and actually DOING IT are two different things.

The ONLY "DOING IT" is when a contract for the fight is signed and the money is agreed on and a negotiation takes place first which is what Floyd was trying to start by calling Pac on the phone and making the offer he did.

[luckykb8]

Common sense really isn't common, even after all of this people still wanna blame Floyd and defend Manny lol Simple amazing
