Desperation and panic in the air

I'm confused here.

I mean a 4 year ban is basically worth over 200 million, probably more than that.

im not ****** im just really high, thanks for clearing that up. i didnt know they tried to replace a 4 year ban, i thought team may turned down the 5 million dollar testing it all makes sense now.

5 million fine can not and will not replace the 4 year ban. It is an independent USADA rule.

Yet he's taking test. So you're saying floyd is gonna get busted? Lol you guys are dumb as ***

He's got a roid expert on his team and paying to cover up the dirty samples.......but, you can never be too sure....maybe he doesn't trust Heredia's ability to hide the drugs. If either guy failed and USADA released the results, just because the fighters are paying a monetary penalty, it doesn't absolve USADA from upholding their alleged 4 year ban now does it? LMAO....Floyd is dirty man, just deal with it.

I just can't wait for the fight to happen. All this prefight back and forth **** talking accusation crap is getting on my nerves.

And i dont even think the hype has started yet

By going to court. If the fight got cancelled and floyd doesn't get his 100 mil payday all he would get is 5 mil. That's a ******ed deal. It's not like floyd is under gbp now he's the promoter and using his own money

It would be a long and expensive court battle and no guarantee that he'd win. He should just ask for 40 mil or something, a law suit would be nasty.

Holy cow, Pacfans have some sad comprehension skills

Koncz: If either fighter tests positive, that fighter will have to pay 5 mil for his punishment.

Ellerbe: They don't want to limit the monetary damage to $5 mil, they want far more if Pac were to test positive, again Mayweather puts up his own cash for the promotions and crap for the fight, he will surely want more than $5 mil from Pac, to recoup money he has already invested.

**** outta here Ellerbe. Since when does USADA have the jurisdiction/power to ban anyone from Boxing?

[D4thincarnation]

Proof to these waivers they gave floyd? Or are they hearsay just rumors?

On May 20, 2012, a rumor filtered through the drug-testing community that Mayweather had tested positive on three occasions for an illegal performance-enhancing drug.

More specifically, it was rumored that Mayweather’s “A” sample had tested positive on three occasions and, after each positive test, USADA had found exceptional circumstances in the form of inadvertent use and gave Floyd a waiver. This waiver, according to the rumor, negated the need for a test of Floyd’s “B” sample. And because the “B” sample was never tested, a loophole in USADA’s contract with Mayweather and Golden Boy allowed the testing to proceed without the positive “A” sample results being reported to Mayweather’s opponent or the Nevada State Athletic Commission (which had jurisdiction over the fights).

In late-May, Pacquiao’s attorneys heard the rumor. On June 4, 2012, they served document demands and subpoenas on Mayweather, Mayweather Promotions, Golden Boy and USADA calling for the production of all documents that related to PED testing of Mayweather for the Shane Mosley, Victor Ortiz and Miguel Cotto fights.

The documents were not produced. There was a delay in the proceedings while Floyd spent nine weeks in the Clark County Detention Center after pleading guilty to charges of domestic violence and harassment. Upon his release from jail on August 2nd, settlement talks heated up.

On September 25, 2012, a stipulation of settlement ending the defamation case was filed with the court. The parties agreed that the terms of settlement would be kept confidential. Prior to the agreement being signed, two sources with detailed knowledge of the proceedings told this writer that Mayweather’s initial monetary settlement offer was “substantially more” than Pacquiao’s attorneys had expected it would be and an agreement in principle was reached soon afterward.
