Mayweather can play games, but can he fight?

By Bob Bethe: I didn’t want to write an article on Manny Pacquiao – Mayweather until I knew it would happen – and now I’m pretty proud of myself, I figured Floyd Mayweather Jr would get himself out of it. Bob Arum doesn’t think it will happen, yet Roach says, “Where else is he gonna get this kind of money? We don’t need him. He needs us.” Which is true. Mayweather wouldn’t fight Shane Mosley after Mosely came in and challenged him. Now Mosley is fighting Andre Berto for a two title welterweight unification bout on HBO. Mayweather doesn’t have any options.

No one really cares about seeing him fight. He’s ducked many opponents. You think he’ll get in the ring with Mosley, Margarito, Paul Williams, ect. I guess he would go to Cotto or Clottey who he could hit and run from and go to 41-0. This all comes after Pacquiao’s camp demanded he be fined ten million dollars each pound he comes over the welterweight limit. Like how no one noticed how he screwed Marquez – a bout scheduled to take place at a catch-weight of 145 – Marquez, Lightweight, made the weight, Mayweather weighed in at 147. When told to lose two pounds or be fined six hundred thousand dollars, he came back hours later at… 147 pounds, which shows you that’s what he trained for and had no intentions of making weight.

This is why I’m surprised he’s ranked at welterweight. He retired in ’07. In ’09 he fought once, against a lightweight, and cheated, paid the “Money” and no one noticed. In ’07 he went to 154 and won a controversial split decision, a fight where he did not look he wanted to engage, against Oscar De La Hoya for a Jr. Middleweight strap, so he could claim he has won titles in five divisions.

Then that year, he fought Jr. Welterweight Champion Ricky Hatton, and KO’d him in the 10th round. He has not beaten a Welterweight since 2006 against a Carlos Baldomir with 10 losses. Almost four years ago. In fact, the only two welterweights he fought, were Zab Judah, after Baldomir beat Judah, and Judah had three losses on his record, already, and then he fought Baldomir. Judah was actually a Jr. Welterweight who moved up.

In the top ten Welterweights at the moment, he has beaten no one. But that’s the “Ring” Top Ten. Oscar De La Hoya owns The Ring. He is also with “Golden Boy Promotions” in association with “Mayweather Promotions” who led out a press release about Mayweather demanding that Pacquiao take a blood test before the fight. It’s funny he didn’t ask any WWE opponents to test for steroids before he fought them. Roach said, “If we agree, can we be sure it’s not the day of the fight” and he was told “no” and according to a doctor Arum talked to, that agreed with Pacquiao, getting blood taken the day before or day of the fight can weaken a person. And there is no commission that has a rule like this. Pacquiao has never ducked a urine test, that’s mandatory, before and after fights, and they said they would gladly give a urine test any time, and a blood test before the training, and after the fight.

And it’s a fact, according to Doctor’s that a blood test can’t prove anything anyway. This is just Mayweather playing his usual games. “Now he makes the rules?” Freddy Roach says. Mayweather is unsuccessfully trying to get out of the fight and make Manny look bad. Or he’s playing games, which is fine, but I don’t think he ever wanted this, he had no choice. The audience is sick of him beating a lightweight in a boring fight. Pacquiao, however, as the Featherweight Champion, knocked Marquez down three times in the first round. The fight ended a draw, then a judge admitted he scored the first round wrong.

They fought again for the junior lightweight title. Pacquiao knocked him down again, and won a split decision. Mayweather, makes him come up in weight, cheats, and wins a boring decision over Marquez. Pacquiao fought De La Hoya at Welterweight, and made De La Hoya quit, and retire, Mayweather retired instead of fighting De La Hoya again, and won by a split decision. Manny then went to Jr. Welterweight, and obliterated Ricky Hatton in two rounds.

Mayweather made him come up in weight, and couldn’t KO him until the tenth. Pacquiao then knocked out Miguel Cotto. But why Roach still thinks it will happen, is because “Money” won’t get money anywhere else. And, according to a lot of sources, “Money” came back, for “Money” – he’s supposedly in debt to the IRS. Oscar De La Hoya was rumored to help him pay off some debt. Mayweather has run before. At Jr. Lightweight, he left while undefeated Freitas and Casamayor were still undefeated. He went for the lightweight title, and many believe he lost the first fight to Jose Luis Castillo.

His reign at Jr. Welterweight was a win over Arturro Gatti, who De La Hoya, already easily KO’d years before. In his fight versus Zab Judah, Mayweather should have been disqualified for his corner coming in the ring. 40-0 may sound terrific. But Pacquiao sure seems better. I think Mayweather put himself in a corner. He wouldn’t fight Mosley, now he’s trying to get out of fighting Pacquiao – if he doesn’t fight him, he won’t be taken seriously at all.

    For all of you who thinks this fight will happen no matter what because of the money is only thinking about the money-desperate Mayweatherand Mr golden boy who is still sour from being dropped by Boxing’s golden goose – Pacman. For Manny it is now a staredown, and let’s see who blinks first.

  • Marc Cole says:

    Accurate analysis, I totally agree w/ the writer.
    CHICKEN FLOYD desperately made new boxing rules out of FEAR of PAC. This is unprecedented for Floyd to ask this type of Blood test. This confirms that he’s not comfortable fighting PAC even at his so called weight @ 147 lbs. Well. give Chicken Floyd his fight wish against Hatton, Then Malignani, & Calderon.

  • Marc Cole says:

    Accurate analysis, I totally agree w/ the writer.
    Let me say this again—-If: by now, someone doesn’t know why this irrelevant & redundant drug test issue came up Then: he’ll never know it at all. Two things here: It’s either he can’t comprehend logically or he’s a PAC hater. Anyway, this may help: PAC vs PBF may not happen because one is INHERENTLY COWARD. If: someone doesn’t know who that is Then: that someone is hopeless. Jealousy & envy ruined Mayweathers’ (Father & Son) minds.

  • TRUTH.BE.TOLD says:

    VERY INTERESTING HOW MANNY WON’T DO THE OLYMPIC STYLE DRUG TESTING. WHAT’S THERE TO HIDE?

    MAYWEATHERS HAVE BEEN IN THIS BUSINESS A LONG TIME. THEY CAN’T CONTROL THE OUTCOME OF THE FIGHT, BUT THEY ARE SMART AS HELL. I SMELL A RAT!! AND IT’S A PAC RAT!!!

    IF HE DOES AGREE TO THE DRUG TESTING, THEY SHOULD ALSO BE SURE TO DO A GOOD JOB CHECKING HIS HAND WRAPS BEFORE THE FIGHT. THIS GUY JUST MIGHT BE CHEATING.

  • Phoocquiao says:

    Graham.

    Pac agreed to test right after the fight in the locker room. That’s hardly telling someone to come on “Monday”…what a dunce.

  • Mr T says:

    Why the hell should this fight be subject to different drug testing rules than any other professional boxing match in the USA? Floyd is making unreasonable requests he knows Manny won’t agree to, and therefore get himself out of a fight he doesn’t want. Floyd is a vain man and doesn’t want to go near anything that might tarnish his perfect record.

  • Midget Parade says:

    Floyd Mayweather will knock the little midget the F*%k out!!!Its going to happen, we just need to get through all of the Arum BS. I wouldn’t trust that dog for anything in the world.

    Mayweather will KO Pacquiao round 10!

    Just wait and see!!!

  • limited boxing says:

    this article is biased,writer just dislike floyd, be fair why manny does not figth mosley?????????????? Mosley even offer himself at 140 lbs?????????????? why roach ducking out??????????? anyway do a blood test will weak a hulk????????? Big fat “B”

  • Eraser says:

    I laugh at all of the Pacquiao camp saying Mayweather is scared and will run…funny!!! Watch Mayweather Knock Manny out!!!

    I will find this quite funny. I told you so!!!

    No way Manny can use the substance because there will be a compromise where testing will catch any and every thing he tries.

  • Rock says:

    All of this hype is quite disturbing. No question the fight will happen. Nobodys afraid of anybody. Bob Arum, you’re a joke saying you can move on to someone else. Ouside of the Philipines, who’s going to buy a Pacquiao fight on PPV?

    Get serious guys!

    Find a compromise on the drug testing because Pacquiao is using HGH, ensure that he can’t cycle on and off, and let’s get it on!!!

  • graham says:

    George,

    Manny is not scared of having his blood drawn. He has already agreed to blood tests but he is refusing to submit to RANDOM blood tests.

    You can’t tell the testing agency to come and test you on “Monday” after you have used the drug it’s cleared from your system. That’s rubbish!

    That’s why am saying he is hiding something.

  • Body Builder says:

    Mayweather will destroy Pacquiao. No question about it. I hope he rubs it in Freddie Roach’s face!!!

  • Body Builder says:

    This will be a one sided fight favoring Mayweather. The first 2 or 3 rounds will be cautious, then when Mayweather determines that he can hit Pacquiao at will, he will polish him off.

    Mayweather by KO!!!

  • Tick Tick says:

    Randy, you are exactly right!!! The fight will happen. Floyd will beat the litle guy senseless. Then what? Where does Pacquiao go from here?

  • Junior says:

    I like to see them fight. I think it will happen and I’m sure about that. Money talks, and who ever needs the most will cave in. I just can’t wait for Mayweather to have a real match, so he can’t skate around the ring or dance like a ballerina. I don’t know why I still watch his fight even though it’s boring, probably because I want his opponent to kick his ass. And most of all to shut his big mouth and his father too.

  • Igoy says:

    Manny’s critics are the guys that I’d love to call “reality haters syndrome” They can’t accept the fact that americans are no longer dominating the sporting world. Wake up losers, soon you’ll be eating dust because of your unmatched ego.

  • graham says:

    yes he beat de la hoya, hatton, and cotto because he was taking steroids.

  • jesmedhytz says:

    de la hoya was knockout and same with Hatton and Cotto, Mayweather will get knockout too but its not going to be, he is not fighting pac. .as he knows he will get same fate, he is SCARED . a coward US citizen ,need i mention undefeated boxer,is not worthy in the country of the BRAVE.Arum should go for other fighters with BALLS.

  • dbeals says:

    You remember when I was a amature. BullS***. Somebody put something in his mouth cause my zipper is stuck.

  • Ancient_Silence says:

    This whole talk about Manny not needing Floyd but Floyd needing Manny is starting to get to me because what ever the case may be regardless of who needs who they both need fans to make money and if this fight doesn’t go down questions will be asked and i dont see the repercussions being good.

  • graham says:

    Listen people, if this fight does not take place the papers will say its because “Pacquiao refused to take a drugs test”. it’s manny’s name and reputation on the line here.

    No matter how many times you people say mayweather jnr is scared of pacquiao, that will never make the headlines. Please be sensible, these blood tests will apply to both fighters – mayweather and pacquiao.

  • dale kennedy says:

    sorry bob, no reflection on your work

  • dale kennedy says:

    good reading for a change. get money to fight perez about the same qaulity,

    perez we will have to testcheck your taco seasoning!!!!!

  • theIVman says:

    This is sad, Floyd is afraid to get knok out so he wants random blood test, what if that random comes in at fight night just to intimidate Pac and distract his focus. Then he can’t refused, if it is random it should be random at the same time, meaning if they draw Pac,they draw Floyd. With the right amount of money , people can do anything.Judges can be bought what more people drawing blood. Even if your on steroid , it does not make you faster, does not atoumatically make you a good fighter , you can give malignaggi steroids and he’s still gonna be a mdiocre fighter.

  • Larry says:

    If the fight doesn’t happen, what options does FMJ have? He won’t fight any of the top 147lb. fighters and fans are tired of paying to see him fight guys naturally smaller. Don’t forget Pacman doesn’t need FMJ. So if the fight doesn’t happen FMJ has a lot more to lose than Pacman.

  • Phoocquiao says:

    @ run like Floyd…

    145-150 is Pac’s walk around weight. So it IS his natural weight.

  • run like floyd says:

    @DBeals: We are all guys here right? Manny Pacquiao’s weight at 144 lbs, whatever it is, – is not his natural weight- that is a fact-okay. Sooo why can’t Mayweather , being a natural 147 fight Manny Pacquiao from head to toe -all night long-as much as he can-why can’t he? Plain and simple.

  • lionheart says:

    duh! mayweather has a lot of reasons to avoid this fight… cmon on floydi, just addmit it.. your scared of facing a fighter, coz your just a boxer not a fighter… i do believe that mayweather is talented, and i also believe that pacman is gifted… so, which is better talented or gifted? when this megafight will happen his march 13, 2010; i just hope that the speed of floyd were fast as his mouth is…

  • lionheart says:

    duh! mayther has a lot of reasons… cmon on floydi, just admit it.. your scared of boxing a fighter, coz your just a boxer not a fighter… i do believe that mayweather is talented, and i also believe that pacman is gifted… so, which is better talented or gifted?

  • simon says:

    great article, finally someone who talks some sense, floyd is trying to screw us all over again, his legacy is finally showing its real colours, he is a dodger and a scared little boy, who wants to keep is lovely record clean. never has fought the big dogs when it comes to it. Never liked mayweather, he has tricked us all into thinking he is one of the greats for too long, he does indeed have the talent to be a great, but its now time to prove it, and beating manny is just a stepping stone, whether he gets past it or not is a different story. he still needs to fight more top fighters afterwards, i doubt he will ever prove anything tho,

  • Phoocquiao says:

    @ Jhon Foreman.

    You know what’s outrageous? Coming into a fight 2lbs over an agreed upon weight. That’s ridiculous. That 10mil penalty is to keep that from happening. That’s not ridiculous, it’s good strategy.

    Insisting that a stand-up guy, that has never done anything shady, take over-the-top drug testing, then claiming he has something to hide when he doesn’t bend to the request, is quite outrageous.

    I mean, who the hell does Floyd think he is? He aint even got a belt. You know why? Because he don’t wanna fight anybody that’s got one.

  • roy says:

    manny has 48 ko.every fighter but two has tasted the canvas some more than once, a early fighter and oscar didnt taste the canvas, and both fighter would have if the fight wasn’t stopped. say that? only the best p4p fighter can say that.floyd do you distroy your opponent? ricky. oscar. jeb. or squeak by,

  • roy says:

    just what I was saying floyd didnt think pac would take the early fight at march,with no rest,he taught pac would say after election or end of next year,and floyd could brag that manny was afraid of him.
    yes floyd,manny would ko,ed you within 6 round,and he know it .roach was playing with your mind saying it would be a decision.

  • ART SA BOXING EXPERT says:

    MAYWEATHER IS SCARED SH**LESS , MAN WHAT A WUSS!

  • jhon foreman says:

    the simple thing that u could do is bood test, what is the big deal. I could take blood test every day and it does not harm me, un-lest Pacman is hiding things. Where can u heared that with only . 5 lbs difference with Pacman u will be fined $10,000,000.00 dollars. Thats outregeous.

  • ART SA BOXING EXPERT says:

    FINALLY A SMART WRITER, WHO KNOWS BOXING DAMM THATS RARE ESPECIALLY ON THIS SIGHT! I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING U SAID!

  • Makulit says:

    Floyd realy knows how to take advantage on his opponent! he first cheated Marquez by going up more pounds before d fight, why do that if ur d best? and now asking Manny Pacquaio to take blood test before d fight that can make any person feel or think week and uncomfortable… wat d f@#k Floyd why ask for different kind of testing rather than the usual one being done for so many years if you want to fight pacquaio. Floyd is just afraid of Manny that he demmands this kind of stuff to find a reason or excuse not to push d fight and not to loose his glory of “0″ record that he knows Manny Pacquiao can easily takes away from him. He’s so afraid of Manny that when pacquaio defeated him! he will just end up an ordinary boxer… Hahaha just go “Chiken”

  • roy says:

    watch the whole ricky and floyd fight . ricky was left hooking floyd all night about 10,one had floyd staggering.floyd throw right leads,and jumps back or hold,you cant right hand lead with pac or hold pac, and not get ko,ed ask ricky or cotto. cotto was a real man.not this too safe toto bird.

  • DANIEL says:

    FLOYD DIDNT EVEN WEIGH IN THE NIGHT HE FOUGHT JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ… ALL OF A SUDDEN HE WANTS TO BE ON A SAME LEVEL? FLOYD IS LOOKING FOR EXCUSES. IF THIS FIGHT DOES HAPPEN … HES GOING TO NEED SOME NEW RUNNING SHOES… THE OTHER SHOES ARE PROBLY ALL WASTED. FLOYD WOULD BE A GOOD MARATHON RUNNER.

  • graham says:

    I think all you people talking about mayweather jnr being scared of pac man are simply wasting time. This drug testing issue has very little to do with him.
    mayweather snr is the man to blame for these arguments. I think he was just trying to prove his point from his previous comments about manny and “roids” as he put it. so this demand for blood tests was really a shot in the dark. it’s like playing hide and seek with a kid, when you say “I see you!” the kid shouts back “no you can’t see me!”

  • Phoocquiao says:

    @Dbeals…
    It wouldn’t be slander if he kept his dumb comments to himself. It became slander the moment he tried to discredit Manny on the internet, claiming he was on steroids. Pac would win in court. All he has to do is say that Mayweather made comments that got blown up in the media. Mayweather would have to prove that his statements are true, which he wouldn’t be able to do because he has no substantial evidence.

    You talk about others making the same comments. Do you really think they’d be singing the same tune if these clowns knew Pac’s walk around weight? Hell no they wouldn’t. There comments are based on the thought that Pac’s normal weight is 130, which it isn’t.

    Floyd get’s hated on for fighting smaller guys because he doesn’t fight the smaller guys at their weights. He made both Hatton and Marquez go up to him, and if you recall, he didn’t even honor the weight agreement made between him and Marquez.

    I’m glad that you were an amateur boxer, I never was. And while that may make you more of an authority on the sweet science than me, it apparently hasn’t done anything for your critical thinking ability.

  • DBeals says:

    Ok Jason, what I don’t understand is why all the negative talk about him being undersized and at a disadvantage against ODLH, Cotto and Mayweather? They say Mayweather is cherry picking the smaller fighters. Pacman is smaller but he fights big and that’s what all the steriod acusation are about. Unfortunately if you are too good at what you do in sports people will wonder why that is so. This is the steriod era. That’s why taking any test they want shouldn’t be a problem in my opinion. And as Graham said, they are random test. The fighters don’t decide when they want to be tested.

  • Anonymous says:

    Good article!

  • DBeals says:

    It’s not slander if it is what a person truely believes and there is a reason to believe it. Pacman would never win that in court and I’m sure his lawyers have told him that and that is the reason nothing has been file. There is a suspicion not only by the Mayweather camp but other boxers and trainers. If it is normal for a fighter his size to dominate why do the haters keep saying Mayweather is cherry-picking smaller fighters? Pacman is at a disadvantage in reach and size?

    Oh by the way, I do watch boxing and I have boxed on the amature level as well. What about you?

  • lig senidaba says:

    mayweather …excuses excuses :-(

  • graham says:

    camansi, there are two points you are trying to make in your comment.
    The first one that he has agreed to the test but only after the fight.
    My response is: drug testing is always random, the drug testing agencies do not allow the athletes to set the dates when the tests should be done.

    your other point that giving blood “may have a big effect on his strength” does not make sense because mayweather will also give blood so nobody is at an advantage (it’s the same for both fighters).

    And there might be another point you were trying to make about doing the test before or after the fight. The thing is, it does matter when the testing is done (or when the blood samples are taken), because drugs like steroids are always used during training to help the athlete build muscles. Once you have built up the muscles you can stop taking them, your system will clear and you can beat the drug test.

  • CHITO says:

    I THINK MAYWEATHER IS LOOKING FOR EXCUSES TO GET OUT OF THE FIGHT AND MAKE PACQUIAO LOOK BAD, I THINK PACQUIAO GONNA END UP TAKING THE TEST AND KNOCKING MAYWEATHER OUT BECAUSE THAT’S GONNA MAKE PACQUIAO ANGRY, WE ALL SEEN PACQUIAO FIGHT WHEN HE HAPPY BECAUSE HE ALWAYS COMES IN THE RING SMILING, IMAGING HIM COMING IN THE RING ANGRY, IS GONNA BE A DISASTER.

  • baseless says:

    floyd mayweather jr. is so afraid of tarnishing his 0 records. keep it up floyd you will really be remembered in boxing history as a ZERO. bwuhahahaha….

  • Phoocquiao says:

    @Dbeals…Not normal for a guy his size? What size do you think he is? Do you even watch boxing. Pacquiao has weighed in and around 144-148 lbs. for his last SIX FIGHTS. 144+ is his natural weight. The Pac that fought at the lower weights was WEIGHT DRAINED. So you are wrong, it’s completely normal for a fighter his size to dominate at welterweight, because he’s a natural welterweight.

    And getting stopped by a cop is not the same. First, cops are suppose to be suspicious, it’s a part of their job. Also, even if the cop did go for a warrant, he wouldn’t get it because there is nothing to justify the warrant given Pacquiao has no priors (tested clean every time). No, what the Mayweathers are doing is slander.

    Best believe if this fight doesn’t happen and the Mayweathers try to paint Pac as some cheater, they WILL be hearing from Pac’s lawyer. He already consulted one but desided not to push it through because he didn’t want to glorify statement made by an ignorant man.

  • camansi says:

    graham…pacman agreed to a blood test but after the fight…its the same way as the day of the fight…it’s just manny does’nt want to give his blood before the fight cause it may have a big effect on his strength (like what happened on his first fight against morales)…again…taking the blood after the fight is the same as the day of the fight…mayweathers are just scared…

  • josh meador says:

    Thank you somebody finally got it right! Manny has nothing to hide. Why should Floyd call the shots. He’s a two bit thug that doesnt even deserve to smell Manny’s jock strap. He has no credibility what so ever.Golden boy promotions still has a grudge against Manny for not signing with them as well.The rightous shall prevail. Manny agreed to testing that will show if he’s taking hgh or any other performance enhancing drugs. No other testing is necessary case closed, now put up or shut up punks!

    FLOYD IS A SCARY AZZ NINJA, BETTER ACKS SUMBUDDY!!

  • floyd says:

    floyd fans you suck! your idol is ducking hahaha cowards just like their idol. blood test are conducted yearly for boxers, it is not necessary. coward floyd dont want this fight he wants to fight hatton in england. he’s afraid of pacman face it floyds fans your idol is a coward. think before you comment, morons.

  • graham says:

    I think manny pacquiao is hiding something. If he wasn’t on drugs why would he risk his name being dragged through the mud and have his name associated with steroids by refusing a simple blood test. Honestly history is being written here and it’s not good for pacquiao. People will type “boxing” and “steroids” into google and end up with pages and pages of manny pacquiao, that can’t be good.
    If he is clean he will probably look back at this decision not to take the random drug tests as the most stupid thing he has ever done.

  • Walt A says:

    Bring on Mosley or Marquez . F@%# Mayweather. Mayweather is a paper tiger!!

  • proof says:

    Two Respected Insiders Say March 13 Date Is OFF

    cause floyd mayweather jnr. absolutely knows he cannot beat pacquiao, and is very scared with nightmares.

  • DBeals says:

    So Pacman makes up the difference in size and reach by using steriods? I don’t think so. Everybody has a height and reach advantage over Pacman so why bring it up now? If it is a disadvantage why is he taking the fight?

    Take the freakin test to prove us all wrong.

  • Anonymous says:

    He say’s blood test day b4 fight weakens a fighter, but MAYWEATHER will also have blood test b4 fight so both will b on same boat.

  • Anonymous says:

    I honestly think he’s hiding something PACMAN taht is.He made COTTO fight at 145lbs, also COTTO the day of fight could not weigh more than 150lbs. No w all MAYWEATHER want’s is a simple blood test and he refuses.

  • waltz says:

    @ Bigbasher
    lol

    if there is someone who will back out on this fight, it’ll be Mayweather …not Manny.

  • Phoocquiao says:

    @ Randy…Even playing field. like coming in two pounds over an agreed upon weight is an even playing field?

    @ Money…Do you really think Mayweather would fight Bradley? Hell no. He’ll say the same thing that Mosley said. That bradley isn’t big enough a name for him to fight.

    You both are brainless clowns. Manny has never cheated. You are all getting gassed up by a dumb comment made by an ignorant man (Mayweather Sr.). i give props to Manny for not allowing himself to be bullied by Mayweather.

    Face it. Manny holds all the cards. Stop hatin.

  • graham says:

    gorge, that’s not the way it’s done. drug tests are always random. that way they have a better chance of catching the cheats.

  • ZKO says:

    I agree, if Mayweather wants to be relevant, it either Pac or Mosley. Otherwise, don’t ask boxing fans for their money and stay retired.

  • gorge says:

    what a fraud! so scared of the pac that he mad a ridiculous demand. pac’s willing to do blood test after the fight and before, but not 48 hours before fight nyt. hey fraud, trying to make the pac look bad won’t do you no good, because his legacy is intact and your is not. cherrypicker. go on, fight mathew hatton and retire. the boxing world doesn’t need a fraud like you

  • D-Nunan says:

    this is the first place ive heard about a blood test the day before the fight as far as ive heard its 30 days before the fight nd if thats gonna effect him he is dillusional he must just be lookin 4 reasons to back out does he actually think their gonna take a few pints of blood or sumtin its a dribble manny grow a pair nd stop avoidin floyd he has agreed to all ur s*** lik 10 mil for every pound Bull***t!!!

  • Ojay says:

    10 million for every extra pound? I can sense that Floyd will agree even if Pacquiao team demands 100 million per pound, because all along Floyd has no intention of fighting Pacquiao. He has more excuses in his sleeve that you can imagine just to duck (again) a good opponent. He has no intention of getting that “1″ in his loss column.

  • graham says:

    if manny pacquiao works away from this fight because of a blood test it will only prove one thing. That he is on some thing. I hope roach and his team are just playing mind games.

  • huckleberry says:

    a great writer with excellent inside boxing knowledge. bob sir you a teacher to the boxing world. great article very professional and speaks the truth.

    please continue educating the boxing masses.

  • Nice article. Pacquiao already said he would take a blood test. One time before training camp and then one time after the fight. The only real blood test you need, Is right after the fight.! and Pacquiao already agreed to do that. So i dont understand what the problem is. lets go Pretty Boy AKA Money Mayweather.! 40 million dollers waiting 4 you. Step up and sign the papers.! Boxing Needs this fight. To be the best, you must fight the best. Lets make it happen

  • MONEY says:

    you say all that but Pac has yet to fight at welterweight lets not forget. Call Mayweather bluff and get it on. Oh and Mayweather agreed to pay the 10 mill every pound over so what now. If u have nothing to hide then take the drug test. However if this fight dosen’t happen, watch and see pac move up to fight a paper bum fighter by Yuri Foreman. So what his naturaly bigger. He is the weakiest of the 154 divison. If Mosley kick Berto butt watch Pac dont take that fight with Mosley. Cause he could have fought him before instead he fights a shell of a fighter Cotto or was Pac on the juice then LOL i dont not neither do u but not wanting to take random drug test have me question a lot of what manny has done. If the shoe was on the other foot what would u say about Money May lol this is a bunch of crap holla. Oh also Mayweather wanted to fight Mosley before when mosley was on top but Mosley pushed Floyd back saying he’s not a big enough name.

    you have to be kidding me. What is wrong with wanting a even field? I really can’t stand journalist that write on emotion rather than what you see. Mayweather is a much better fighter than Pacquiao. Most experts will tell you that. But journalist like you keep drinking the coolaid. Drink up! The fight will take place and Mayweather will win.

    Here we go again, more Floyd bashing. Blood testing shows if you have an abnormally high red blood count, which can be used to prove steriod use or masking agents. Blood tests are more effective in detecting PEDs than urine samples. Mayweather will submit to the same random testing. You can recoup the blood lost in a test in 24-48hrs, so whats the problem in being tested in the 30 days before the fight? I agree that he shouldn’t be tested in the day or two before the fight but why not in the 30 days before? Manny made his ridiculous demand of $10 million per pound with no questions asked. Why is there now uproar about Mayweather’s seemingly ridiuculous demand? We should be happy that this will prove that whoever wins on the night was the better fighter and didn’t win because of PEDs
