Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao PED Fine Much Higher Than 5 Million

No such things as undetectable peds idiot. .. which is why they try their best to avoid random blood and urine test ****head

LMAO.....you must not know much about Heroida then. Dude brags about beating tests and says they are a joke, a cakewalk to beat.

Was that before or after he was afraid of needles?

it was before and after arum is afraid of needles

So Pac said "let's have a $5m penality if anyone gets caught cheating" and Ellerbe said "no, let's make it higher than that to be sure"

What seems to be the problem? Why are you fanboys crying about it? Seems fine to me so that there won't be any questions regarding PED-usage, plus whoever cheats gets embarrassed and loses money. Both sides are in agreement to there having a penalty for cheating.

So because there is a potential for upside, how do you know that you would have come close to that upside? Either guy could say, there was a potential upside 100 million dollars on top of the min guarantee with no way to prove that. The fight might not sell as well as they think it will and only generate enough to pay Mayweather, for instance, 10 mill in upside on top of his min guarantee.

You think he should be able to sue for the other "potential" 90 million dollars that he wouldn't have gotten anyways? Same thing goes for Pac's side of it too. That's my point, you can try to sue for whatever you want but any potential earnings are hypothetical and mere estimates, the guarantee is the only thing set in stone.

I don't.

It's up to the lawyers making the case; tickets at the venue, priced $1500-$7500, were all basically old out before the contracts were signed, the UK tv rights are basically going to start the bidding at 10-15 million pounds, and Televisa/Azteca are joining forces to both air the fight in Mexico. The US PPV is likely to be priced $89/$99, and the general fan/press interest had the fight marked to shatter the prior PPV record.

The lawyers can start with whatever the guarantees in the actual contract were, but they can use all sorts of fight-related info to build the case for requesting a larger settlement than outlined as the formal guarantee

Hopefully all this encourages boxing to join the times in terms of testing

You're trying to troll wrong person bro I won't fall for your banter can go try that on another person

I think the main reason Rath trolls is to get a response out of posters because nobody talks to him in his everyday life.

ellerbe can not make it higher than that to be sure because the contract has been signed already. ellerbe can not do anything about it except reject the additional 5 mill penalty.

Either side can sue for what they want...they'll start with some crazy number and the other side will counter and eventually they will both settle at a much lower number because none of that can be proven. The final number will be higher than the minimum guarantee but nowhere near what they will be trying to get. The only thing the contract will guarantee them is the min amount.

I just don't see Pac's team trying to come across with some offer of a 5 mill cap if there was an agreement stating the terms and consequences of drug testing already signed. That makes no sense at all. Both sides already knew what the deal was if this was the case and the additional document didn't even need to be drafted to begin with. Sounds like it has been tossed back and forth for a while now......I remember reading articles about it almost a month ago so it's not like this was something just proposed this week.

It was something that was being entertained by both parties but has just changed yesterday or today for some reason. Now it is being presented like Pac and his team tried to sneak in some last minute deal to cap off the PED penalty......this is not the case. There is some shady stuff going on now for some reason.

Manny Pacquiao reading his fans posts...
