Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao and Drug Testing Four Years Later

[HIGHNESS]

yes some do. 80% is ridiculous. I can see why you were banned and had to create this alt. carry on.

I was never banned...I've been lurking in these forums. I just finally decided to make an account. Nice try though from a desperate attempt for a comeback. And I suppose you're on the side of beating girls and bodyguards too?

Mayweathers and floydiots alike...Pacquiao is one dimensional midget easy money easy fight, overrated, weight draining his opponent mostly were coming from a lost but Pac needs to take a test? WTF! These floydiots are pests on this planet.

Bob Arum and Top Rank walked away from the fight of the century to fight Joshua Clottey, while Mayweather sat at the negotiating table. They had gotten down to a two week cut off date, and Manny and Top Rank fought Clottey in Dallas. THAT is all boxing fans will remember, and the boxing Gods haven't forgotten this either.

so manny wanted to fight floyd, he just didn't want to do so on terms negotiated by both fighters. wow.

You said that I didn't.

I said Pac was not going to give into """"""""""ANY"""""""""""" demands from JR and I was happy about that.

JR is a PUNK thug wanna be king pin and he wants to lay out the demands.

Funny ain't it how that when Pac would give a bit here comes some more demands hahahahah

Just admit Dunn that JR is FEARFUL of facing his biggest THREAT : PACMAN

[The Big Dunn]

LOL Right? Its funny how blinded fans can be about things concerning their favorite fighters. Good one though.

Its about as honest as he will be. Posters like him just want to see floyd lose. in their minds its worse to give floyd what he wants then to agree and fight him and possibly lose. so they justify him choosing not to fight. SImilair to the tea party fringe and president *****.

Yes i get the no PPV and 40 mil was bad but its the beginning of negotiations and Arum wasnt involved. It was a phone call. If i was fighting FLoyd i would ask for a phone booth ring and he has to wear 15lb shoes. Its called negotiating. Doenst mean im going to get it. Pac and crew just took that and ran with it as if it was final say. Didnt even try.

It comes down to Pac wanting one thing, Floyd wanting much of the same thing (a fight between the two) and Arum blocking it because of his greed and legal rights. I have no doubt after all the initial BS that took place in negotiations, if Arum had died before Floyd called Pac, the fight would have happened already and I could praise myself for picking the fight perfectly. Floyd gets stunned a couple times and goes on to show his brilliance with a 116-113 decision in a near war, a fight I still hope happens if Pac gets past Rios and if Arum dies of old age.

[The Big Dunn]

Good, we are moving toward an understanding of this. And the bottom line is both they and their monster ego-infested promoters and management are to blame, especially Arum.

Both are to blame, we agree. But there was no reason for manny to refuse testing in 09 when he had 50/50. There simply is no justifying that. He has to accept responsibility for that decision.

[Calm down mate]

I don't exactly know what your rant was about, but if you don't believe there was any su****ion at all you're as blind as the media writers.
Again no one in over 100+ years had ever done what Pacquiao had done. It would be like watching Abner Mares move up in weight to KO Sergio Martinez.
If that happened you're going to tell me you're not going to be a little su****ious?

The fact it took Floyd Mayweather to say something doesn't make the claim anymore invalid. He said what many were feeling, just didn't have the large audience to be heard.

You're largely misinformed.

This isn't the 40's where we had same day weigh ins.

Pacquiao has been weighing in on fight nights as a light welterweight when he campaigned at super featherweight.

When he eventually moved up to lightweight he rehydrated to 147lbs against Diaz!

It's a myth that Pacquiao is some tiny guy who miraculously move up all these weight classes, carrying his power etc. He's been rehydrating north of 10pounds for every bout under 130!

Right now at welterweight he rarely gains over 3 pounds on fight night, he is a fully fledged welterweight much like Floyd is.

[sanyantho]

*****s and *******s

GUYS!!!!!

Give it up, Arum won't even allow Donaire Vs Rigon and they are both Top Rank, so what makes you think Mayweather Vs Pacquiao EVER had a chance of happening.

If Arum said so, Pacquiao would have taken the test the very first time, Arum and Delahoya are the one to blame.
The whole blood testing was just BS by Arum, never meant anything.

And here we go with a bunch of grown men saying "Mayfeather" Gay-Weather, Pac-roid and all of that, grow up.

You are right on point! I wish there were more members like you on this forum.

Both are to blame, we agree. But there was no reason for manny to refuse testing in 09 when he had 50/50. There simply is no justifying that. He has to accept responsibility for that decision.

But did you also know what percentage Floyd wanted of the PPV sales? 100%? 80%? SMH

[richardt]

And Floyd his part in the failures and anyone who thinks it is only one side that is to blame is harvesting blind bias.
