LETS TRY AGAIN

YES OR NO: IN 2009 DID THE FIGHT NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE PAC AND HIS TEAM TURNED IT DOWN DUE TO DRUG TESTING ISSUES AND CUT OFF DATES?

you're NOT a pacquiao fan. stop lying. you love floyd and for whatever reason you still do despite all of his hypocritical nonsense, cowardice and princess like behavior.

if you stop being a fan of his you'll live a much more stable and happier life.

Manny came back with their own cut-off dates ..... in which Floyd refused too!!!

Floyd and company (Sr, uncle, GB) ACCUSED Manny of PEDs. So they knew that it would end the way it did.


The point is that this proves that that was all a sham. OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!

Yes, On December 13, 2009, Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz, said Mayweather's request for Olympic-style drug testing was a laughing matter and they had no concerns whatsoever about it. "Our reaction is, 'So what?' We know Manny doesn't take any illegal drugs or anything. And none of this is getting under Manny's skin or anything. I'm here with Manny, and to him, it's like a joke. It's a laughing matter," said Koncz.

After reports had surfaced that both parties had agreed to all terms, Golden Boy Promotions released a press release on December 22, 2009, revealing that Pacquiao was unwilling to comply with the Olympic-style drug testing requested by Team Mayweather. The following day, Bob Arum, Top Rank founder and CEO, declared the fight was off and Pacquiao would be facing a different opponent. "We appeased Mayweather by agreeing to a urine analysis at any time, and blood testing before the press conference and after the fight. Mayweather pressed for blood testing even up to the weigh-in. He knew that Manny gets freaked out when his blood gets taken and feels that it weakens him. This is just harassment and, to me, just signaled that he didn't want the fight," Arum told David Mayo of the Grand Rapids Press.

Not long after declaring that the fight was off, Arum had a change of heart and offered Mayweather a 24-hour take-it-or-leave-it deadline to accept Team Pacquiao's terms for drug testing. Top Rank sent out a press release explaining their position on Mayweather's request for random Olympic-style drug testing. In it, Arum said Pacquiao was willing to submit to as many random urine tests requested, but as far as random blood tests were concerned, he was only willing to subject himself to 3 tests: one in January, one 30 days from the bout (no later than February 13) and immediately after the fight. "Let's be very clear on the real issues we differ on. It's not about being tested....It's about who does the testing and the scheduling of the procedures....The major issue related to the testing rests with which independent agency will administer these tests. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) cannot do it because they will not amend its procedures to accommodate the blood testing schedule we have outlined. USADA, under its guidelines, would have the right to administer random blood tests as many times as they want up to weigh-in day and that is ludicrous," Arum explained.

Freddie Roach told Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times on December 22, 2009, that he would prefer for Pacquiao to give his final blood sample a week before the bout and no later than 72 hours before.

On December 28, 2009, video from an episode of HBO's Pacquiao-Hatton: 24/7 surfaced on the internet showing Pacquiao giving blood in the weeks leading up to his May 2, 2009, bout with Ricky Hatton. Documents confirmed that the video was recorded on April 8, 2009, 24 days prior to the fight and past the 30-day cut-off date that Pacquiao had demanded for a Mayweather fight.[10]

Pacquiao filed suit in U.S. District Court in Nevada on December 30, 2009, against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Floyd Mayweather Sr., Roger Mayweather, Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions executives Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer, alleging that they made false and defamatory statements accusing him of taking performance-enhancing drugs.[12]

Both sides agreed to enter into mediation on January 7, 2010, in hopes of coming to an agreement on the blood testing issue. Retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein, who successfully resolved a prior dispute between Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, would again act as mediator. Two days later, after hours of negotiating during mediation, Arum declared that the fight was officially off after Mayweather refused to agree to a 24-day cut-off date. Mayweather revealed that he offered a 14-day cut-off date to Team Pacquiao, but it was rejected.

Again, a bs offer from floyd. 2 weeks before the fight he had to get blood taken out? Ive been taking martial arts for over 10 years, full contact fighting, and no one that fights would want blood work done 2 weeks before a fight.

LOL IM NOT A PAC MAN FAN AND LOVE FLOYD??? HAHAHAHA WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? I WAS A PAC MAN FAN FAR BEFORE 2009 UNLIKE MOST OF YOU LAMES. IM A BOXING FAN YOU NEED JESUS MY MAN! YOU GUYS TAKE THIS STUFF TO SERIOUS

People also forget that manny and them to floyd and company to court, but went to a mediator and a settlement was reached. I dont know how much proof you would need to see that.

[Bronx2245]

I just added a few more phases .... maybe you fit one or more of them?

Trust me, I have seen it before. They are in denial without proof then when they get the proof they get shocked for a few days and stop posting. Then they come back and defend Floyd's actions like as if they never were against Floyd and what he did.

That is what happened when Floyd went from
"Take the PEDs and we have a fight"
to
"I WANT ALL PPV MONEY".
SHOCK, IN DENIAL, WANT PROOF, MORE SHOCK, THEN DEFEND FLOYD's ACTIONs

You've seen it before, but not from me, which is why you should've picked somebody else. I've seen plenty of hypocrites on here. They support Manny suing Floyd for accusing him of PEDs, then accuse Marquez of PEDs because he knocked Manny the **** out. Hypocrites say Manny didn't have to take the test, "let the commission do their job," then turn around and say "No fight for Marquez if he doesn't do VADA testing." They say Floyd cherry-picked Maidana, the WBA WW Champion, but then it's okay when Manny fights a Jr. WW coming off a loss (Rios), and now he's fighting another Jr. WW, Chris Algeri at a CW of 144, suddenly Algeri is a beast. Trust me, I know hypocrites when I see one!

so that makes it all better. guys floyd is not cheating, they doing drug test for this fight. ariza just there for support.

problem is, floyd is usada's BIGGEST sponsor. smh also they move the ratio more than the traditional 4-1 that wada uses.
