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

[Spoon23]

Haters gonna hate. They been asking Pac to take the damn test and now that he does, they still find something to complain about. I mean should Pac not take the test now? Make up your mind girls.

This thread is a confirmation that Pac is definitely doing this test to remove one excuse to Floyd's book of excuses. The biggest hurdle now is you guessed it 100% revenues goes to Floyd.

Pac is setting himself up for a Floyd fight.

Who do you think's going to win my fellow boxing fan?

Pacquiao has always been clean, any doubts that he wasn't were rumors made up by a fighter that was scared to fight him.

Again, either you're ignorant or trying really hard to pretend you are. This isn't about whether Pacquiao takes random testing or not. I'm happy he's finally getting with the program. This is about his BS about doing it because it's good for boxing. Surely you can't believe that guff. It was good for boxing when he walked away from the biggest fight in the modern history of the sport while yelling "let the commission do their job!" (with lots of his fans joining the chorus). It was good for boxing over the last three and a half years when all was Pacquiao doing was paying lip service to it. After he gets planked, he NOW sees it's good for boxing? Please.

And now lots of people are too precious to ask why he didn't see it this way before. Why he put his pride before the sport and then carried on ignoring what was "good for boxing" when others got involved. This isn't about one fight, ladies. It's about a guy marketed as the anti-Mayweather showing himself to be as big a hypocrite over an important issue. Sorry if offends people's sensibilities to admit it but it is what it is. Either he believes it, meaning his past stance (to refuse testing when it mattered) was wrong, or he's doing it because it's now good for Pacquiao, not boxing. You can't have it both ways.

It took JMM right hand Thanks to God for that.

Until Mayweather and Pacquiao both get with the program and submit to YEAR ROUND testing, both dudes deserve to be labelled as su****ious and potential drug users.

Mayweather is a little more suspect because he brags about working out all year long while Pacquiao is busy with Politics. The chances of Floyd doping during the off season are greater because he's keeping active while Pacquiao gets pudgy pushing pork barrel programs

Again more deflection. I make specific point about Pacquiao's BS statement and you come back with watfle about year round testing (separate issue) and Mayweather's schedule (nothing to do with this whatsoever). Try addressing the actual point which Pacquiao now saying, something he first refused to do, then couldn't be bothered to do (even though he said he "had no problem with it), is good for boxing. How can you not question that in itself? I guess some people find it to difficult.

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.

This is the way I look at it. I do not believe that Manny Pacquiao has ever cheated. There were never any question marks until Mayweather and his team started to spew some very hateful comments, which they eventually retracted and apologised for.

But what ever happened, what's happening now is even more important, this is the biggest name in the sport finally taking drug testing Olympic style or at the very least in a more randomised and consistent manor. Long may it continue.

Rather than ridiculing him, we should be praising him. He didn't have to do it but he is.

So the supposed "biggest name in the sport" refuses more stringent testing, playing a major part in one of thr biggest fights not happening, refuses to take part in it unitil he gets planked by someone his own team implicated (as did Jim Lampley, the oh so objective boxing announcer and journo), but now after four years says he's doing it because it's good for boxing- and you think he should be praised for his hypocrisy? It gets better and better.

Surely the leading question from Pacquiao's statement is: "If it's good for boxing now why wasn't it for the past four years?" Care to speculate?

l thought pac is done after that brutal KO which put him in purgatory for minutes. This thread just proved that he's still relevant.

l wonder if he'd still be relevant if, God forbid, rios ktf him out.
