Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Requests Hefty PED Penalty in Mayweather Fight

[IronDanHamza]

drug testing is evasive

the penalties wont see the light of day, should you not cheat, literally a non-issue

Well yeah I agree with that.

[jas]

Fl0mos can't do it

They can't not talk about something that happened years ago

It's pathetic

[IronDanHamza]

As usual

The pitiful fanbase that are fl0mos bringing up the past

Stop dwelling on the past

Focus on Now!

The past is the past but it is kind of funny that's he's requesting this considered what he's turned down previously.

But yeah, it's a non issue. Floyd should accept this request.

He's in the wrong if he turns it down.

Lol floyd gunna see this as disrespectful and sue pac and not fight him.

I'm sure it's only Floyd fans that bring up the past.

I think Pac is going to sit on this like fat lady eating a doughnut. No way Pac backs out. Pac team knows Money wants that 2 of May for his fight so he can shove it in Oscars face. So Pac will wait until Floyd makes up his mind. Team Pac knows that Floyd loses a lot of money if he goes with out pacman as a opponent on that day. Fight tours should have already started if May was going to fight anyone else. Money learned the hard way announcing the Guerrero fight so late. It killed promotions and Money lost a lot on money that fight. So this is just another step in negotiating for this fight. The fight is going to happen but with the amount of money involved and technicalities it may take the rest of this month.

The fight is already promoting its self with all the publicity it is getting by not being signed and all the rumors. Be calm young men and young gals. It's business! Ohh expect a high ass PPV cost.

my biggest fear


Floyd's ego screaming in his ear 'who the **** is this fool to demand anything'


then walking away...and his fans spinning it as a 'disrespect' thing

[Carpe Diem]

if Floyd walks away this time, i wonder if his fans would show the same disdain as they did for PAC 6yrs ago

Yes, i would. It's not that hard to see that Floyd isn't an easy person to negotiate with especially when you're around his level of stardom and PPV draw like Manny is. Like it or not, he has earned the right to make certain demands, but he does tend to go a bit overboard and let his ego get in the way. From what we've learned thus far, both sides have agreed on the date, split, location,etc. If the fight doesn't happen this time around, then we'll definitely find out who is solely responsible.

There are far bigger players who are involved in negotiations than Haymon and Arum. Those guys care more about their reputation and will throw anyone under the bus to save their own asses if they have to. They will not hesitate to say who deserves the blame. The networks have all the leverage and if they are willing to work together, then the fight would've been announced by now or we'd find out right away who doesn't want it to happen. I just hope that HBO doesn't try to protect team Pacquiao and make up lies for them.

HBO has the leverage to tell Arum to F off and force him to run elsewhere for all of Pacquiao's future fights, but Arum knows he has the second biggest draw in boxing right under his wings and can play hardball with HBO too. Bottom line, if Showtime/ HBO can't come to an agreement, then i hope they will at least be honest enough to be on the same page and release the name of the person or people who is/are responsible.

And just like that, the Mayweather/Ariza PED shakes era is over. Thank you, Based Manny

I really dont give a *** what happen then. I know what is happening now. It dont look good for Floyd. It sure dont look good for the fans.

Floyd wont fight Manny. He will lose and he knows it. If he didnt think that...Flor all the money hed make in this fight, he would have made this fight happen!
