[OctoberRed]

If the Pinoys were still around in full force, this thread would be at 400 by now. Most of them cleared out after Pacquiao lost.

Wow that stinks to high heaven, one day the truth might come out but it's obvious Floyd was doing something illegal and got away with it. Sucks for Manny because it was never an even playing field even though I believe Floyd was always better. Sport stinks at the moment how hard is it to compete clean?!

Didn't Manny like not check that preexisting injury box?

LOL i hope some justice is done by this. FLoyd is literally lying low because every WBC fight is now VADA. Why would he pay 100 k for a test? for a result thats why! Thats just insane, that he does ****, like EPO probably like lance armstrong. I was in the building and floyd looked huge, anyways regardless 750 ml was given with no notice and thats BEYOND illegal lol how is he dehydrated when he weighs 150 30 days out? You mean to tell me hes at deaths door for a month? lol yah ok. WOW , lol hope he gets exposed and his record really wont mean crap lol. i say do the CIR test on his frozen samples from every fight since his 6 fight deal and ****in show the public.

Or maybe he's retired.....he did retire last year. You know that, right? I think a good question to ask is why does the UFC pay so much for USADA and why does the government give USADA millions a year in grants?

What's amazing is someone on this site that believes Bob Arums account on anything. Bob lies about everything! Even dumb stuff about talking to Manny. Then you will see Manny say he knows nothing about it. Also, how do you go from KO'ing all comers to not even being able to KO Algeri?? That stinks to me.

Mayweather is just a better boxer than Pacquiao.

are you sure that is what happened sherlock ?





"We have now heard two completely different stories regarding the shoulder of Manny Pacquiao and whether he was or was not injured coming into his May 2 bout with Floyd Mayweather. Neither story gels, though, and both leave some serious questions to be answered.

The initial story given to the media was that Pacquiao was nursing an injured shoulder throughout the tail end of training camp and came into the Mayweather bout still suffering from the injury.

It had been confirmed by all parties that Team Pacquiao then requested from the Nevada State Athletic Commission a shot of the anti-inflammatory Toradol and the numbing agent Lidocaine two hours before the bout. Their request was denied, in great part because Pacquiao had indicated on pre-fight medical forms that he was not injured in any way. He had also passed a pre-fight physical by commission doctors at the weigh-in the day before and received the green light to fight. No sign of injury was reported at all.

Now, however, that story has changed significantly.

"Two weeks before the fight, the injury had cleared up, he was again using his right hand and he went in 100% in the fight,” Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum recently told Fighthype.com. “Unfortunately [he] reinjured the shoulder at the end of the fourth round and wasn’t as effective with his right hand after that point as he had been before. That’s the whole story...but going into the fight, two of the foremost doctors in the world said that he was fit to go-- and he was."

So, why was Team Pacquiao pursuing a pre-fight injection if, by their own recent accounts, he was 100% on fight night?".....

Toradol Has Become Baseball’s Dirty Secret.....
" the practice of using Toradol on a regular basis has become prevalent throughout sports..... Toradol has been used..... for over a decade "

I think more investigation could be required ^^

Bob forgot to tell you this

Pretty sure that's not the only thing Bob was implying there haha

I don't give a ****, I just want both these fighters to go away, with that said, its clear to me some mistakes were made by Team Pac and USADA with Floyd. Is it enough to warrant a huge massive investigation or have a rematch? Not in my opinion Because they fought about five years too late and now they are both even more past prime so it would mean nothing.

USADA has had numerous mistakes in boxing. They've made mistakes in other sports as well. There is no "gold standard" when it comes to this ****, it's essentially anyones guess as to who will do any better than the other at any given time. Until there is an actual mandatory standard, like what the WBC says they are implementing with VADA, it's all bull****. Flip of a coin really, maybe USADA does great in one fight, maybe mistakes are made. Maybe VADA does great, maybe they **** things up, no one knows.

BOB FORGOT TO TELL YOU THIS!

ROB ARUM THE DIRTY LYING SNAKE STRIKEs AGAIN! THE SAME GUY WHO HAS BEEN INVESTIGaTED BY THE F.B.I AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FOR FIXING FIGHTS AND MESSING WITH WEIGHING MACHINES AT WEIGH INS!!!! LINKS BELOW.....
