Freddie Roach: The Last Hope for Salvaging Mayweather versus Pacquiao – Breaking News
By Giancarlo Malinconico: I have been critical of all parties involved in the negotiations: Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Top Rank and Golden Boy. But it seems to me that the proposal by team Mayweather is reasonable and fair. There is no proof that Pacquiao or Mayweather has ever taken performance-enhancing drugs. Mayweather, moreover, has especially proven his innocence with his adamant stance on random-blood testing.
But as these negotiations have taken a turn for the worst, one man’s voice in this discussion has been missing—Freddie Roach. Roach was the one who publicly suggested a 50/50 purse split, which was agreed upon by both parties. Furthermore, Roach suggested a 5-day cutoff period for the random testing. But it seems that ever since making the suggestion, Roach has been told to remain silent. Did Bob Arum or someone from team Pacquiao silence Coach Roach?
And for Pacquiao fans who believe that random-blood testing is an insult, they should think again. We, pay-per-view purchasing costumers and boxing fans, deserve to know that our hard-earned money is going to competitors who are respecting the sport. If we can pull $54.99 out of our pockets, then there is no reason that Manny and Floyd cannot subject themselves to a few random-blood tests to ensure the integrity of the sport for the biggest matchup in boxing history.
Freddie Roach, wherever you are, why don’t reintroduce your proposal about the reasonable cutoff point for the random testing. Bob Arum continues to antagonize the situation by making ridiculous statements including an alleged conspiracy between the United States Anti-Doping Agency and Golden Boy Promotions, leaving testing up to the Nevada State Athletic Commission and plenty more. Therefore, Freddie, you’re the only voice of reason remaining to salvage this fight. Otherwise, let me be the first to state publically, I will boycott a Pacquiao/Malignaggi pay-per-view bout.
Breaking News: There is video footage of Manny Pacquiao receiving a blood test 14 days before his bout with Ricky Hatton on HBO’s 24/7. In the video, Pacquiao appears to be smiling while receiving the test. Hopefully, after the superstitious Pacquiao views this video, he will be more flexible on Mayweather’s request. According to ESPN, Bob Arum has stated the deadline (today) for closing the deal on the Mayweather versus Pacquiao bout will be extended, and Arum will notify Pacquiao of the newly discovered information in hopes of reaching an agreement on the blood testing clause of the contract.

BLOOD TESTING IS NOT REQUIRED BY NSAC, THEREFORE PACMAN DOES NOT NEED TO AGREE TO THE DEMAND OF MAYWEATHER. IF PBF REALLY IS STEPPING ON THE PLATE, STICK TO THE EXISTING RULES OF NSAC AND FIGHT MANNY!
RANDOM BLOOD TEST FOR EVERY FIGHT! Floyds Rule.
Now take his 40-0 record…Test result not reliable.
106lbs at 16 yrs old -NOW 154lbs. -Floyd
106lbs at 16 yrs old -NOW 145lbs. -Manny
Floyd doesn’t have any intention to fight Manny.All the allegations have no basis at all.
You can also check the IN-RING not the OFFICIAL weight of both fighters for the past 6 fights.It may help with the confusions.
dont get all attached to the hype, the fight will happen but not on march maybe a little later after that maybe september or october. I mean it is $40 mil. this talk about cowardice and blood test is just a fuel to the fire. it will make the fight more interesting and intriguing base on who wins the fight
Emman- Hair doesn’t just grow on a mans head. Unless FM is some kind of strange and shaves his under arms and nuts then he would have no problem giving a hair sample. LMAO
Stan J
Please do not compare yourself to Manny. He is not as dumb as you when it comes to taking illegal substances, for the kind of money he is making there is no need for cheating.
@stan j,
Hey Stanley,
What does the ‘J’ stand for anyway ? (Jealous, Jizzz, Jack-Off). Are you sneaking the computer again while mommy is asleep. Remember that she grounded you from it last time you were on the internet. You were only supposed to use it for school, remember Stanley.
I heard you might make employee of the month at that greasy burger joint you flip burgers at. Just imagine you get your picture taken and hung next to the Prize of the day. Congratulations Stanley. You’re sooooo cool…
Facts of the case:
1. It isn’t the boxing organization who wanted MP to take the USADA test (doping), but the camp of mayweather et. al.
2. MP had gone through in every test set by the boxing organizations and found nothing.
And I can see Roy Jones agreeing with Pacman. After all Roy also made a career out of finding excuses not to fight the best fighters. Anytime anyone halfway good wanted a fight with Roy it was always something different. I mean they are asking someone who’s legacy is finding excuses not to fight the best. Thats what he’s known for!! If Mayweather threatened to walk out because of the $10 million penalty he would probaly agree with Mayweather too. Anything to keep the fans from seeing a fight they want too see Roy is for.
When Bob Arum tells Manny about this “new” information about giving blood 14 days prior to fighting Hatton he expects Manny to change his stance?!? New information?!? Bob Arum has to tell Manny his superstition is a lie?!? Manny forgot he gave blood before that fight?!? I wouldn’t say Manny is looking guilty of using PEDs as much as he’s looking scared of fighting Mayweather. If not why won’t Manny explain how he changed his story about being “scared” of needles? Or when this superstition began and why since it wasn’t an issue at all 9 months ago? He hasn’t offered any explanation at all; he just rants on about some absurd lawsuit.
ROY JONES JR SIDES WITH PACQUIAO: “I WOULDN’T TAKE ANY EXTRA TESTS!”
By G. Leon
GL: Are you aware of the ongoing crisis surrounding the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight? “Most definitely.” GL: Do you have an opinion on it? “You could see Pacquiao’s side, why should he change for Floyd? A fight don’t start in the ring, it starts when the negotiation starts. If these are the rules, we’re going to stick by the standard rules. On the other hand, I understand he’s saying something been going on, but the problem with that is, if you’re going to check him why didn’t you check Marquez? Why didn’t you make anybody else do it? It’s kind of strange to call him out on this and nobody else.”
GL: Do you see anything in Pacquiao that would lead you to feel suspicious?
RJ: “No. The kid is strong, he came up in weight and brought his stregth. Nowadays the testing is good enough, they got it to where you can’t even take over the counter products. I can testify to that. The testing is very good right now and there’s nothing he could really do that they can’t find. Why make Pacquiao take the test and not anybody else?”
GL: Would you have made such a concession for John Ruiz or any of your other big fights?
RJ: “Hell naw. Why change the rules on me? Because I’m coming up in weight means I’m doing steroids? They’re giving you a test for that anyway. It would be something that would aggravate me because then after I beat you, I was on something, don’t play with me. Either you want to fight or you don’t want to fight.
I agree they should make them take blood tests before and after because the urine test is easy to pass with the right body cleaner
Why the mayweather camp is so insistent of the blood test.Is it because with with the current test by NSAC is so easy to pass… 40x.
i hate mayweather but i dont have a problem with random drug test i do have a problem with some one sayin to go ahead with the test for the integrity of the sport lets make sure no one is loadin ther gloves and that the judges make the right calls before anything for some integrity for the sport
cracker you should go back to the hole you came from, i loved bruce lee, i believe bruce wanted to go beyond human capabilities, this man was extremely fit and strong, unfortunately he needed to boost himself, and started taking cannabis however he didn’t smoke it, he used to chew it, thats a whole lot better than what manny is taking, at least with bruce it was natural weed.
everybody please chill, you carry on as if you going to fight, you all just a bunch of wimps behind your computer, and the biggest wimp is pac for cowardice
Manny Pacquiao is a boxing god. He will demolish Mayweather inside 5 rounds. He struggled against Judah,Castillo and De la hoya, Manny is in a different league to these guys. Look forward to retirement once again Mayweather
Pacquiao doesn’t want to undergo this blood testing because he knows that once he agree to Mayweather’s term there are more tests coming in which will be required by the Mayweather Boxing Commission.
Urine test, blood test, saliva test, hair test, stool test, DNA test…and many more!
To be fair, why not agree both of the fighters to TAKE all these steroids, PED, HGH..whatever just for this fight. I think this is fair for both of them unless Floyd SR will share with JR…lol!
Both should be tested positive for all illegal substance on the fight night (urine test).
NOW this is FAIR…and what’s left is the battle of skills!
floyd s scared of manny..period!
I think Floyd Sr. should drink a glass of Manny’s urine. If it tastes like steroids the fight is off. Then he can go back do giving is cracked-out brother Roger hand-jobs in the prison visiting room.
I think these two should have but seks with roach- the guy with the biggest peenis wins the purse.
PBF is playing tricks on us. Its a mind game and its a dirty one. If MP gives in to a blood test and found innocent of which proven from the past, the result is that MP adhered to the request of PBF. and it is damaging psychologically to MP that he adhered to the tantrum of PBF. If MP does not give in to the wishes of PBF, then MP will be accused of doping.
Why is it that PBF is trying to change the doping/test in boxing? Is he not satisfied to the old and proven test? and therefore all previous boxing matches are doubtful and dubious. Does he not trust the other Agencies and insist USADA only will be good for him.
It gives a bad impression on the other Agencies.
Once and for all, is he accusing MP of doping? If not why bother to go to this extent. If yes, then he should categorically state it or put a complain (have the balls to do it)–in writing to its proper organization to settle the matter. And if he’s right, then so be it. MP will suffer. But if proven wrong, then he should suffer in all aspect (money and RESPECT).
So there you are three (3) law suits for PBF.
1. Putting the Boxing organizations in a bad light.
2. Putting the other Drug Agencies in doubtful situation. and
3. Accusing somebody of doping.
thank you exeter!
Mayweather is going to take the same exact test. Whats the problem with Pacquiao? If your clean your clean, I don’t care who you are, 40 mil is 40 mil.
based on my observation manny can give a blood prior to the match,if it is required for physical examination by NSAC. but if FATHER AND SON asking for it HE will never give because the alligation of the oldBLACK came on the lime lights first.he want to see the mayweather clans begging for his blood. There is one thing to convince PACMAN for blood test.YOU KNOW WHAT?GBP,PBF, MAKE A PUBLIC APOLOGY FOR WHAT YOU SAY ON THE PAST, AGAINTS PACQUIAO.SAY SORRY AND TELL TO PUBLIC THAT ITS ONLY YOUR ILLUSSION.MAYBE THE LAW SUIT WILL BACKOFF AND THE FIGHT WILL PROCEED.THINK ABOUT THAT MAYWEATHER CAMPS AND SUPPORTERS.FOLLOW MY ADVICE FOR THE SAKE OF MILLIONS BOXING FANS AROUND THE WORLD.
If drugs works during the fight,then surely there are still remain after the fight.The pacman agreed to do test right after the fight, then what’s the problem. Are you all know when and how the drugs works?…can you appropraite how many hour,minutes,seconds the dope diminished?..Tsk!tsk! You’re same as floyd freightened to fight the seven times wold champ!…only ‘ASIAN’ can w/o drugs.I’m sure you heared ’bout BRUCE LEE.
@hasbeen:
Why hasn’t anyone looked into the possibility of using the hair sample test. From what I have read and have been told this is a very accurate test for detecting substance abuse. This test would not put mental or physical stress on either fighter. IMO if they really want to make this fight happen they need to seek the advise of an expert on this type of testing and find out if it will solve the problem they are having putting this fight together. I am beginning to think that the promoters are simply putting us”the fans of boxing” through a circle jerk. This is the kind of s**t that makes the sport continue to lose its fan base.
-i think you can do that with manny but not with floyd. I bet you haven’t seen his head! LOL!!!
Why is it that the accused (MP) should be the one to prove himself. Is it not the accuser should be the one to prove it or find proof. It ain’t a fair game. There’s no win-win situation for the accused. Damn if you do, damn if you don’t. Just like a rape case. The victim is the one proving it.
As a casual boxing fan, I have this horrible feeling that Pacman is actually doping because he has many excuses in refusing random blood test and he is ready to throw away $40m?
It would be an immeasurable disgrace if its true, I just cant imagine. So no matter what, pacman will be going to avoid it.
Manny having blood taken two weeks prior to fight night…
go to 2:26 of the 24/7 clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkNdMohoRWg&feature=PlayList&p=2D42B908550A07C8&index=2&playnext=
Take a little time to see what is going on. PBF demands are only logic when you think of the size f this event.This is going to be a Superbawl type event. So many athletes have tested negative and then admited it when tested by urine. If its not by blood it can be hidden.I personnaly think Pac camp dont want the fight. I see stupid people on this site saying stuff like : “if pacman takes blod test he will weaken”………as if Money Mayweather didnt have to do the same damn test him too
i just want to react on the argument most often put forward on blood testing: that pacquiao should take the blood tests to clear everything or erase doubts. this kind of thinking is unfair in the first place, and to insist on pacquiao to take the blood test in accordance with the mayweathers’ demands is even more unjust.
first of all, the presumption of innocence must first be put in mind. if somebody thinks or accuses someone of doing something illegal, it is the accuser’s burden to prove it. making pacquiao to take the blood test just to erase doubts on mayweathers’ minds (if that’s what they really think, which everybody knows is just either a strategy to make manny angry or to make a way out for mayweather), does not do justice to everybody, most especially to pacquiao. it should be floyd who should prove it, and not manny.
secondly, pacquiao is not an unwilling person when it comes to blood testing. he simply do not want it done 30 days before the fight. he is a superstitious person and we should respect that. what is the difference between doing the test immediately after the fight and with doing the test before the bout? nothing. whatever will be in his system during the fight can be revealed by a blood test right after the fight.
it is clear to everybody that mayweather’s demand for random blood testing is ridiculous and made even more ridiculous by him not accepting a compromise, a proposal that the nevada state commission will decide whether a blood test is still necessary within 30 days preceding the fight. such a compromise proposal by team pacquiao is i think should be enough to make the mayweathers agree to go on with the fight. but their uncompromising stand shows and strengthens everybody’s suspicion that the mayweathers are really scared of pacquiao and that they are simply looking for an escape.
but i believe, the bout will still continue. if not on march 13, it will be on a later date, but not on may because pacquiao would be busy for his campaign at that time, since the elections in the philippines will be held on may. but let’s hope the bout will proceed so that we can all see who’s better between these two fighters.
ok guys! i agree to random testing now. but in one condition, floyd senior will also have random blood testing. this is to prove that he’s not too high on drugs again that’s why this kind of sh_it is happening on boxing!
great idea!
I feel very sorry for the Mayweathers. They will lose a lot of money after judged guilty of all the charges filed by the Pacman.
I feel so sorry for them that I suggest that we, both Pacquaio Fans/Haters, Mayweather Haters/Fans and neutralists donate a simple amount of money for him and his family.
Pacquiao will surely win and the Mayweathers are sure to go broke!!!
great article
agree that its Bob Arum who’s preventing this fight from happening, i bet he’s the one telling pacquiao to refuse blood tests, he just wants to make Floyd look like he’s the one who’s running from this fight. honestly manny should just tell Bob to p!ss off and have the 5-day cutoff of the tests.
hasbeen,
i don’t think bringing new science into this drama will help. it will just cause more confusion.
everyone will dispute the results whatever the outcome.
Why hasn’t anyone looked into the possibility of using the hair sample test. From what I have read and have been told this is a very accurate test for detecting substance abuse. This test would not put mental or physical stress on either fighter.

Z,
Pacquiao is not even interested negotiating the cutoff date.
He has kicked the ball out.
He doesn’t want the fight.
I worry that even if the 30 day window shrinks that the new debate will be whether or not the tests are to be random or scheduled.
Has pac said he was willing to do random up to the cutoff date? Or would each test have to be scheduled regardless of the cutoff date?
If the 30 days is the only sticking point then i think there is a chance its made if both camps are willing to give a little. Floyd wants testing up to the day of the fight, pac wants it cut at 30 days so why not cut it at 14 days? This seems to be the most obvious solution if this is truly the only sticking point. If either camp denies this then i would blame that camp, if both would deny it then shame on all involved. If the mayweather camp is willing to do the 14 day cutoff arum said he will go to manny with the proposal, the ball will be in his court.
If the Nevada State Athletic Commission mandates blood testing, Pacman will have to agree to it.
please take the test pac
i think if they are able to succesfuly get pac to cut that 30 day window in half GBP should accept
floyd is a coward fighter and not a good boxer because he talk a lot too much for pacquiao and not for negotiation of their fight. we know that floyd mayweather jr. is afraid to face pacquiao. he knows that pacquiao is a powerful boxer in the world…and he might be defeated when he fight to pacquiao..
Mayweather should ask for blood test for each of his opponent from now on. So that he will a “fair playing field” all the time.
It is obvious that he want to smear and humuliate pacquiao’s dignity and discredit his achievements. It was a low blow, classless, and tactless act on the part of the Mayweather Team. People have given too much credit to the source of all these: Mayweather Sr. As Freddie Roach said: “just because he is a convicted drug dealer, he is an expert on drugs”.
If it was a sincere concern for the sport, they should have brought it up with the commission so that they can apply it to everybody.
Manok is high on solvent. The only boxer who admitted using HGH is Rocky Balboa.
Nice Article! I may have heard Roach mention during the earlier stages of the contract negotiations that they’ll agree to random tests except for blood to be drawn out 72 hours before the fight. If that’s the case then I believe that’s a good enough compromise for both camps to accept. If Pacquiao would only counter propose that Pacman would agree to 4-5 random tests during training including blood tests anytime during training but only until 72 hours before the fight. Then agree for blood to be drawn out same day after the fight. I would suppose Schaeffer, Floyd, et al. would find that acceptable.
What’s the difference if they get blood from Manny after the last
round?
Would they not be able to detect any “drugs” in that case?
Giancarlo dip $hit …
You don’t pay for pay per views, coz you’re a weasel crap writer I bet you get it paid for by whoever you write for… National Inquirer ?
Why would Roach engage in the same way the Fraud camp has. Just look at what happened when retards like Fraud senior opens his mouth. The class act people don’t shoot their mouths off like the rest of the idiots speculating about what’s been regurgitated in these sites. Just look at all the arm chair losers who write on here coz they have nothing better in their lives than to go on websites and write crap with all their knowledge from what looser writers like you write. Sure it’s fun(ny) to read some of this sh it but really, does anyone REALLY know what will happen on fight night besides Fraud running away. That there is a fact. 40 fights. All with the same boring results. Whoopee sh it. Who has Fraud fought that is of any significance the last 3 years ? Dela Honky ? Juan Cry Baby ? Why doesn’t he fight the guys that have called him out. Mosley for one. Anyway, I don’t really know either. So, I’ll stop right now and watch as guys with whacked names on here type on their keyboards so hard they’re gonna break their cheep boxing day sale computers…
@paranoid floyd
You are so right. Yea fear of a blood test
First Pac doesn’t like needles but he has tattoos all over his body. Then he is afraid to give blood cuz it might weaken him before the fight. Now we got evidence with you giving blood day before the fight with Hatton and you have a smile on your face. Can someone explain this to me. O yea this test isn’t random
if its sport it should not cost $54.99, prizefighting is not a sport anymore, its a stageshow the different in vegas boxing is its in the arena not the stage set production show. its gambling sin city, people gamble on the fight, sport are mostly illegal to gamble on ie olympics. fighters are superstar. they make millions not medals, who cares about belts. lets get this show on the road already. fear is holding it back.
I Always wonder why he never wanted to fight jmm again and now I no why maybe because manny couldnt finish him while he was on that sh*t
I am a Pacquiao fan. I will never root for Mayweather, ever. Floyd is the fraud, flinching like a little boy whose dad is hitting him.
Floyd has unreasonable requests for this fight because he’s scared.
Manny is not the cheater Floyd is trying to make him look like. If PBF wanted the fight, he would just fight and not worry that he might be cheated. Cry baby Floyd.
we dont really care about mayweather virtues etc.. we just want the fight to go on that all.. and all the sports star you mention already doing a random drug test.. also some expert are saying that there is a cycle to make the drug undetectable within 3 week.. my not boost your actual fight but your training.. so the 14day before the fight random drug test should just be accepted.. also doctor already say its alright theres no side effect in the fight and mayweather will do the same thing too.. so pac since he fight for the fan(im his fan) should lower his guard and talk to them.. we want to know who really is the KING OF THE RING of this era.. again accept it for US
Manok shut the f**k up
I feel sorry for all you Pacquiao fans.
you are all probably on a bender like our friend here, manok.
But i don’t blame you, i know how Pacquiao has let you down.
we are all disappointed in him.
Floyd is the man. Manny will go down in 3 rounds by way of KO if this fight ever happens
look at manok,
that’s an average pacquiao fan right there.
no wonder pacquiao is not bothered about his reputation.
Check the official weight-in weights and the IN-RING weight,of both fighters for the past…5..6 bouts.Maybe it will clear some doubts.
somebody needs to do something about this manok guy.
he keeps repeating himself.
is he on drugs?
Go ahead with the lawsuit against the Mayweathers and GBP. Pacquiao’s reputation is damaged and is irreversible. This is what it wrong with the whole thing. If you refuse the test, that means you are guilty. It is the logic of confrontation. If Iraq refuses the UN inspectors, they must have weapons of mass destruction. The Iraq regime is a brutal one and suspicion is reasonable. Pacquiao has passed all the tests before and there is no reasonable proof that he is on steroids. Perception is reality. You are guilty until proven innocent. Suspicion is accusation and accusation is guilt. This is the world of dirty confrontation perpetrated by those who seek nothing but the destruction of the reputation of those who has done better than them.
autocad tutorial,
There you go, recycling old rubbish again. Events have move on.
The last negotiation was about agreeing on a cut-off date for RANDOM BLOOD TESTS, but pacquiao is not interested.
so you have to stop this “RIGHT BEFORE the fight” and “RIGHT AFTER the fight” nonsense.
Mayweather fought and won 40 fights,mostly in the state of Nevada so why suddenly those test(NSAC) are not sufficient.
And he lives in Nevada.Duck Floyd…DUCK.
osca de la hoya
hatton bot got destroyed by manny and floyd
bernard hopkins will pick both fighters up and eat them, hopkins is 175lb.
manny vs paul, paul malanagi will gets killed.
mayweather does not rule boxing.
go pacman
PAC’S STAND IS ABOUT CONTROL. HE IS SHOWING THAT MAYWEATHER SHOULD NOT DICTATE THE TEST PROCEDURE ABOVE THE COMMISSION.
PAC DID SOME BLOOD TEST 10 DAYS BEFORE THE MORALES BOUT AND HE LOST. MAYWEATHER KNOWS THIS AND HE USES THIS TO CONTROL PAC. MAYWEATHER WANTS USADA TESTER WHO WILL DRAW BLOOD UNTIL THE FIGHT NIGHT. SO, THERE….
nobody force you to watch the pay per view. it’s your own will to watch it. don’t blame the fighter or force them what on you want.
The Pacquiao camp looks like one big circus. Even his supporters don’t seem to know why he’s not taking the fight.
Pacquiao is a disgrace.
@ roy
could you explain how Oscar de la hoya is going to be in trouble for withholding pacquiao’s money from the Cotto fight? Cotto isnt even promoted by golden boy promotions. both Cotto and pacquiao are with top rank promotions are they not?
but I admit pac should have fought mosley instead . even as mosley is a hard fight ,he was next in line, and it willl make floyd look bad, AND BOXING FANS CAN APPRECIATE THAT FIGHT.
Floyd Mayweather is clearly one of the boxers around who’s highly respecting the sport of boxing. Floyd not making weight in his last fight against Juan Manuel Marquez is a very good example on how he highly respect the sport.
speak up roach……. make a suggestion….make this happen because the loser here will not be manny or floyd, it will be the millions anticipating this once in a lifetime spectacle. go roach……
Unknown not really its about floyd avantage of wanting to slow pac 700 to 800 punches afull fight, vs floyd 600 a full fight.also pac see extra cash,watch, see what happens when court starts .
well said, Hanson.
Your argument does not hold water, nor does your reasoning. No [boxing] sanctioning body in the US, Europe, or, Asia mandates random testing. If GBP now suddenly advocates it, after refusing to have Mosley undergo random testing, let them start campaigning to have the sanctioning bodies adopt it. You will notice that they have not asked for random testing in the Mosley vs. Berto bout, even though Mosley has already been caught doping once.
Mayweather is a complete coward. He thinks Pacman is on steroids, blame this to Mayweather Sr.
golden boys are going to pay for this,heard not only is pac going after not having to pay golden boys his cut but pac is also going for with holding the cut from cotto fight,sorry oscar,its going to cost ya.
@roy
You are simply negating the simply fact that your boy is affraid
@skillz
Exactly that test wasn’t for steroids or HGH and it wasn’t random, He new that and that’s why he took it because he feared nothing. That test was 14 days before the fight and KO Hatton so there is no way he can claim he can be weaken by a blood test. Just take the test (randomly) with a cutoff date of 3 day before fight night and show your mano a mano that you promised.
ask floyd if the test was good enough for ali.sugar ray,foreman and for all these great for these years, and that he so special? floyd just afraid of getting ko,ed,floyd has avoided all the hard fight,what a wimp,and a big mouth one.
Floyd is afraid of blemishing his perfect record and face!
@ART SA BOXING EXPERT
No name calling here. It looks like desperation from Pacquiao’s camp (fans et all)using profanity and even Pacquiao calling Mayweather a coward. Now we want to know who is the coward. Take the random blood test and face your opponent in the ring as simple as that. Just take the test and show us what you’ve got.
That’s not a test for STEROID that footage is a test for HEPATITIS. a steroid test and hepatitis test are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. and again, PAC isn’t scared of needles. Arum just don’t want him to be bullied by Jr. Hence, Arum ruling the 30 day period before the fight and taking part on the Nevada testing group.
@ART SA BOXING EXPERT this is the steroids age thats y smart guy
ART SA BOXING EXPERT, you’re a true “new kind of” boxing fan: rude, unknowable about boxing and as a “true fan”, only your emotions are seen. Congratulations, you won a free ticket to May-Pac.
Pac is scared of Floyd.
Giancarlo, I have a newfound respect for you. I was under the impression, maybe wrongly, that you were strongly leaning Pac’s way. Complimenti amico.
