Mayweather-Pacquiao: Maybe they should scrap the blood tests
December 26th, 2009
By Scott Gilfoid: I don’t know about you but I’m completely bored with all this back and forth crying about blood tests for the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight. They need just follow the rules that they usually have for Nevada fights and stick with testing urine. Either that, or go with the three blood tests that Pacquiao already agreed with – one in January, and the another 30 days before the bout, and the final one after the fight.
I’ve heard that growth hormone users/abusers sometimes have problems where their head gets bigger as well as their hands. But Pacquiao’s head always seemed kind of big for his body, and I don’t think it’s gotten any bigger lately as far as I can tell. As he’s put on weight, Pacquiao’s face has gotten wider like a chipmunk, but it doesn’t look like his actual skull and jaw has gotten any bigger.
I’ve seen pictures of people who’ve gone overboard with using growth hormone and they look weird with this big head on a tiny body. It’s not a problem when they’re working out and using the growth hormone, because they’re muscular at the time. But after they stop using, their muscles naturally shrink, but they’re left with a big bowling ball head. Its bad looking to see people with this condition and its irreversible.
Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum wants to leave it up to the Nevada Athletic Commission to make a ruling as to whether it should be blood or urine that gets checked. That sounds good to me. Let the Commission make the ruling. But they need to quit hammering Pacquiao about this and let the fight go ahead like normal Nevada based fights.
I think they need to focus on just playing within the old rules for the fight and forget about extra testing. If Mayweather isn’t okay with fighting under the normal rules, then he should shop around for another fighter that will be acceptable to his more stringent testing.

I like how everyone thinks pacsteroids is going to sue Mayweather?
On what ladies…for asking a request on a contract that was tentatively agreed before pacchonies decided to crawl back in his little cradle.
He is such a cry baby…..let me fight Oscar on the condition he is old and under weight….let me fight Cotto only on the condition that he fights under weight.
excuse after excuse….Cry me a river you pinoys. It’s not my fault you guys don’t succeed.
Darephony says, “Or does the Philippines (third world country) have the best performance enhancers around.” Hey Darephony, you may not believe this, but YES WE HAVE THE BEST PERFORMANCE ENHANCERS IN THE WORLD. It’s affordable too. Here it is. a Big plate of rice/corn grits in the morning, lunch and dinner with a side dish of Milkfish and Tilapia. You want some? Come here in the Philippines (third world country) and I will give them to you free of charge.
Lex_fugitive says: “And pretty much every top boxer has come out and said they think Manny is on roids.” Hey Lex, who are these “every top boxer?” Is Timothy Bradley included in this “every top boxer?” I recall Timothy Bradley declared that he believes Pacquiao is clean as Mayweather is clean. Did you hear Cotto saying that Pacquiao is on roids? What about Hatton? Ricky Hatton and his Dad already affirmed that Pacquiao is clean. So again when you wrote “And pretty much every top boxer ( italics mine) has come out and said they think Manny is on roids. Who are these “every top boxer?” Validate your claim because if not, then you are LIAR. Big fat LIAR!!!

Mitch says: “PACMAN AND HIS ENTIRE CAMP IS AFRAID OF MAYWEATHER. Proof is in the pudding!” Hey Mitch, first, where is the pudding? How can you say that proof is in the pudding when the pudding itself is nowhere to be found. Second, evidently you’re convinced that
“PACMAN AND HIS ENTIRE CAMP IS AFRAID OF MAYWEATHER” because as you’ve said you have proof. Where is your proof Mitch? WHERE? In the court of Law, yours is just a mere hearsay. You can’t even validate your claim with solid facts. I rest my case. Case dismiss.
Mayweather wanted the fight at 154lb….
Manny’s body frame is not 154lb and he is already bloated 147 pounder boxer and his fighting weight is 140lb. So to make it even, they met in the middle range which is 147lb. And by the way, if I can still remember mayweather fought Marquez and he weight 146lb (he cheated for the contract weight is 144lb) so, what’s the reason why he can’t fight at 147lb and keep on complaining to Pacman, is SHE afaid???
Mayweather wanted 10oz gloves…..
In Nevada, it is allowed to fight 8oz glove at 147lb if he want to use 10oz then he can use it and Manny can use the 8oz glove. So, what’s the problem with that??? IT IS ALSO PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!!!
Yeah! he wants to use the 10oz so that he can use it for a cover when Manny break his ugly face.
Potentially the biggest fight in boxing history and people are shocked that someone ask for something that the boxing world has never seen before?…Proof of a fair playing field.
hehehe nice one Scott.
you push the right button. blood test demand is basically an excuse of scared floyd. now he and his camp will be sued. they better think of a better alibi since last 10 pre and post fight nevada drug tests of pacman is cleared.
hehehe nice one Scott.

Hang on Mitch do you think someone insinuating you take performance enhancing Drugs is a form of negotiation?? You cant be serious can you? The drug testing procedure is in place and Pacman actually agreed to go further than the normal practice so as for Negotiations he has more than played his part. Its not up to Mayweather to negotiate on the practices or Drug testing procedures in any case. Whats he gonna negotiate on next as a sticking point for this fight (The weather on the night maybe??) (the parking at the arena?) He deserves whats coming to him in Court if it goes that far he gone way over his own silly head this time, he whats to start putting his Brain in gear before he starts spewing Bile in the future thats if he has one in Boxing?
Mitch:
1. PAQ has the belt on the line.
2. PAQ has 7 belts on 7 weight class that makes him P4P king. And currently rank #1 Pound per Pound
3. Currently PAQ is a greatfighter to watch. He is a goodboxer. Unlike Mayweather who is a defensive boxer AKA chicken dancer
SO ur guy cant make demands. especially something that could negate the history of boxing. Saying that NSAC is insufficient organization.
Then those fights that happen under NSAC eyes should be disqualified.
PACMAN AND HIS ENTIRE CAMP IS AFRAID OF MAYWEATHER. Proof is in the pudding! Everyone says that Mayweather is being too difficult and looking for excuses. Hmmm. Mayweather wanted the fight at 154lb but since Pacman wanted 147, he agreed. Mayweather wanted 10oz gloves but since Pacman wanted 8oz, he agreed. Mayweather also agreed to the $10 million overweight penalty. That’s 3 of Pacman demands that he has agreed on. Shouldn’t Pacman agree to this 1. That’s why they call it NEGOTIATING. Mayweather’s camp is trying harder to make this fight than the Pacman camp. I understand sticking by your fighter but when you give a bias opinion, it’s garbage and no one listens. Also, testing after the fight is good but NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Lets say they fight and Pacman wins but tests positive AFTER THE FIGHT. The damage is already done and Mayweather may not ever be the same fighter again. Ask Miguel Cotto if finding out after the fight is enough. Cotto was an excellent fighter, was cheated by Margarito and now, sad to say, he has never been the same! Plan and simple Mayweather has agreed to 3 on Pacman’s demands. I’m looking for a fair Pacman fan to agree that he should give in on this 1 demand. Also, rather than agreeing to this 1 demand and fighting, he’d rather go to court. HMMM! You Pacman fans are going to tell me that this doesn’t seem suspicious? He’s either juicing up, scared as hell or both PERIOD
Let the fight begin, oh dont forget the OUTOFCOURT settlement. It is not just for the money, but I really want to shut that big mouth of mayweathers. And
after the fight brian kelly should interview chicken floyd. and not walkout like hatton.
Mayweather just F off and die theres more wrote about your ing hype than there is about your Boxing. Ive had enough of it I hope this fight does not take place then Mayweather wont get the chance to prove himself and go down in history as the bull who tryed to bull himself to Greatness cherry picking and cheating all the way along while never having the metal to take the challenge when it was there for him! (winner of Cotto vs Mosley) RETIRED!!!!
(JMM) came in 2 pounds overweight against a smaller man!!!
(Pacman??) made sick unsporting unfounded comments to get out of the fight!!! only calming it to avoid a lawsuite!!!
This is not a man good for Boxing and not an example to up coming youngsters.
A man full of to his opponents
A man so full of his own hype
A coward of a man (ontill he proves otherwise???)
This is the time for him (PBF) to show his Metal and syop all the childish games or off into the WWE where his kind of antics will be better placed.
and john, yea Manny is saying he won’t take any random tests. He has to know when they are ahead of time. This has been Manny’s stance from the beginning. He must know when they are. Yea, I don’t know why anyone would think he’s trying to hide something by refusing any random testing.
why are all of the pactards begging Manny to not take any tests AND not fight Mayweather?? We will buy all your fights, just don’t fight Mayweather. lol. Sue him Manny, fight him in court not in the ring. What are all of
Pacquiao’s fans so worried about? And no one complained at all about the absurd $10 million per pound penalty, until Manny, Roach, and Arum said its absurd and crazy to change the way fights have always been fought in Nevada. They changed the rules then come out and cry that Mayweather wants to change the rules and the rules are fine as they are. Yes, I bet tests that don’t show HGH are fine with Manny. And pretty much every top boxer has come out and said they think Manny is on roids. This is really similar to the downfall of baseball. We all know about Holyfield and Mosley and now Pacquiao. He said two days he would test 5 days before the fight and now that Floyd agreed to that he says he won’t test inside of 30 days! Its literally a different excuse everyday coming from Pacman. If hes so afraid to fight, he should just say so and sign to fight Pauli who’s also said he thinks Manny is on the juice. I really don’t think any top boxer will ever fight Manny again without legitimate drug testing.
Obviously that article was posted by a fake not me! You shoukd be able to tell by the fact its not a wind up!
woah!
From all my years of watching boxing, I’ve always noticed that good boxing beats good fighting. Ask Mike Tyson, about Buster Douglas, Lennox Lewis or Holyfield. None of these guys can punch like Tyson, but they used their boxing ability to frustrate Tyson and win. Oh and by the way, they all won by KO…One more example, Bernard Hopkins vs Felix Trinidad. We all knew about Trinidad’s punching power and his attacking style, however Hopkins neutralized it with his boxing ability. And one more thing, he also won by KO……..
Mayweather is a boxer not a fighter, he will dominate this fight start to finish…. I predict a stoppage in the later rounds.
Floyd said, “no Manny please don’t take away my candy ($40M) please I will do anything you want.” Classic “token economy.” Good for you Mr. Pacquiao! Don’t let these idiots to push you around. In fact, go for you 8 titles, and forget about this guy. You don’t need him…whoever you fight other than Floyd, we will come and order your fights until you retired. God bless you Manny!
Why are promoters and fighters making the choices of having to take this test or not.Any athlete thats getting 40 milion dollars should be tested.Pacman and floyd both should jump at the opportunity to take the sport down the right track now that alot of the fighters have been found of using performance enhancement drugs.I mean if they are the top 2 fighters in the world that are going to get 40 MILLION in the biggest fight in years then why not take advantage of the moment to also do whats right by the sport that are going to make them rich.BIG QUESTION IS IT THE BOXER THAT WE ARE TESTING OR THE SPORT? MARCH 13 THE SPORT WILL BE IT’S PEEK FOR A CHANCE NOT JUST FOR MONEY BUT CREDIBILITY.
Wow,
I have seen a lot about these drug test. The one thing I have to say is. Manny excuses are weak!! Giving blood makes him weak, a tablespoon of blood WOW!! Let’s not forget that Floyd is subject to the same exact testing. Its not that manny is the only one who has to do the testing, floyd will be tested at the same time!!
Your opinion on the winner is fine. But Let’s look at that 10million per pound is excessive, overly-excessive. If floyd can agree to that. Certainly Manny can agree to testing that both fighters have to adhere to.
“im like alot of people im getting sick of misinformed people spewing out b.s. ..floyd DID NOT acuse any one of cheating or steroid use ..also floyd is not scared of any one .”
ORLY? So that R.A. interview was a collective hallucination of the Internet, huh? Or does the Philippines (third world country) have the best performance enhancers around?
well that’s what mayweather wants to screw up the fight,he thinks he is bigger than boxing…but i think the fight will happen,because just like what he said to R.A. D’rugged man “LEGACY DON’T PAY BILLS”. so expect that he’s going to take this fight.
well that’s what mayweather want, to screw up the fight..he thinks he is bigger than boxing,such a jerk…but i think it will happen because just like what he said to R.A. d rugged man “LEGACY DON’T PAY BILLS”. so march 13, 2010 pacman vs cowardweather.
Pac fears no random test but the possibility to have been teken the test the day before the fight. Pac had an experience from his first fight in vegas when he need to be tested because that was his first fight there. Unfortunately, he lost. So that’s what Pac is refusing to. To be tested the day before the fight. pac’s strategy is to use he’s strength to push trough his opponent in the ring, while floyd mostly uses he’s feet to fight back. Anyways, I have seen a post from a reliable source that Pac will be releasing a statement dedicated to the boxing fans that he will accept the testing without any conditions of when the test to be taken but just a neutral organization who will be behind the test. It will we released these few days! Watch for it.
We’ve been through this issue ever since the negotiation started. I hope they could settle things and get started.
im like alot of people im getting sick of misinformed people spewing out b.s. ..floyd DID NOT acuse any one of cheating or steroid use ..also floyd is not scared of any one ..hes been fighting at least since he was 16 !! never been beat ..only a couple fights were even close !! manny and his people are afraid of these tests..why is that if you have nothing to hide ?? the biggest fight of all time deserves the most testing to releive ALL dout..pac needs to man up and take the tests , after all floyd has agreed to YOUR demands ..get it done ..
Top Ten reasons why PBF will fight MP if…
10. He will not make a concert after the fight.
9. He’ll change his trainer.
8. He’ll change his coach.
7. He’ll change his Manager.
6. He’ll not run for election.
5. He’ll not do movies.
4. He’ll not be endorsing NIKE
3. He’ll change his citizineship.
2. He’ll change his career.
1. He’ll change his name. LOL
The damage to pac’s reputation is already done. I know first hand because my gf is from Turkey and the first thing she asked me today was “Is manny using steroids?”
She’s not even a boxing fan but this fiasco has gone way out of control, all the way from the other side of the world! For this reason, manny should sue. His life-long dedication to the sport is sinking into a black-hole that some reckless mouthed convict started.
James your such an idiot.
everybody knows who the pound for pound king of the ring is and floyd “prettyboy motormouth” mayweather knows exactly that the same fate would be in store for him as de la hoya,hatton and cotto.there is no-one near the speed and skill as the pacman.in saying that though,i still think it would be a very close fight with the brillant manny pacquaio coming out on top.i’m just going to start saying my prayers that this fight does happen because its the one fight that everyone,boxinf fan or not,wants to see.mark my words,this WILL be the fight of the century,if it goes ahead,paddy,kildare,ireland
wow im absolutely stunned, scott managed to write an article about a fight that doesn’t involve a brit……..
I cant believe some of the shite written by some of these Mayweather Nuthuggers. It seems most are really ill informed and just buy into Mayweathers Hype machine. If he told them he could turn Water into Wine most of them would believe it!. See thing is with PBF is he has got talent but he has never showcased it. He beat Del La Hoya??? or did he? he didnt have a clue for the first 6 rounds. Hatton hurt him in the first round only to be denied to be allowed to fight due to Joe Cortez breaking it up before it started. That fight would of been a whole lot different in Manchester. Did he want to fight Kostya Tszyu?? No. Did he want to fight Mosly? NO. Was he beat by Castillo?? Did he retie rather than fight the winner of Cotto vs Mosley?? YES. Is he trying to get out of the Pacman fight? Probably. As for all the shite about the 10 million a pound fine the Mayweather Nutthuggers are going on about. What the hell do they expect? Mayweathers abused the weight rule in the past against JMM! Why are theses Nutthungers so blind to that??? Oww on the issue of JMM thats the guy who normally fights at 15LBs lighty than he did against Mayweather only having two bouts at 135LBs before their bout. That fight had the same credibilty as Amir Khan vs Barrera no offence to Amir Khan. This is not a personality contest its supposed to be Boxing.
Hope the fight will happen but i want Manny to continue the law suite.It’s different because if you were accuse with something you did not do and public told to the word and to the media what you will you feel?Let the Judges decide the verdict.Everyone must be accountable to heir actions becuase tearing your reputation of your name which includes your family and children is different story.If Pacaman accuses the whole Mayweather family of using drugs and go to tv show and radio station and braging that even to his fans what wee you feel.I still hope the fight will happen on March 13.I hope Golden boy is the first who first publush in the media about some concerns with the fight not TOP RANK.That’s why PACMAN came aboard and said “Enough is Enough”If he wants the fight the Go! Let the commission decide and punish who uses illegal substance not Mayweather because NEVADA Commission handles it.Since decades it’s been the same commission which ALi,Tyson,Hagler,Sugara Freizer recognize and respected not a new body of commission which will just make money for donation from this fight(USAD)It’s a professional ballgame so it’s must be handle but professional organization not amatuer or Olympics.Let the Boxers fight on the rules on their organization and not of th commision that can be commissioned by others.Pls Richard Sheffer pls dont tell a lie taht you are doing anything to have a fair plating field you just engineeering a win for Mayweather.You ahve all the advantage you have the height,the reach and the skills so why be a coward!It’s just say yes or no! To oscar you never had a blood test with Mayweather fight and pls do not contradict you statements you always tell before Hatton fight that the puch of Manny cannot knock out you why now is different pls check your buddies Shane Mosley who has been positive and never had a been blood drawn with Judah fight!PAcamna never had been positive not even once so it’s up to Goldenboy and Richard to pinpoint Mayweather Sr. who started this Lie!which they are now denying.It’s up to them to settle in out of court before they loose the case and to the world.Let the fight begins!
What the!!!!???? Gilfoid speaking sence what is the world coming to!!! Well done Scotty.
whatever these haters or fans say pacman will still see floyd in court. I really think that they have gone overboard with their allegations against the p4p champ. Let’s be very logical and matured on this thing. The guy hasnt been caught once so we can’t really says he’s juiced up. Those ones who prejudge him as juiced up are id*ots who believe a crackhead like floyd sr. Floyd’s attitude is trash. He’s not keeping it real. He’s just another trash talking egomaniac.
Scott-That might be the best article that you have ever put your name too. It was straight to the point with sound logic to boot. Good for You.
You know what guys? Mayweather side are just making some excuses for NOT fighting Pacquiao as what he usually do… to PICK some weakling opponent so that he will emerge as a sure winner. At first, He (Mayweather) thought Pacquiao will NOT agree to fight him when he asked it on March for Pacquiao will be very busy for the election campaign but as what Manny always say… BRING IT ON!!
Now, when Manny agreed for the said date they came up for another reason that RANDOM Blood testing. We know that Manny is a power puncher and by extracting blood randomly will make any person weak and not to mention the mental side effects on that person. It is NOT part of a boxing rules but a “MAYWEATHER rules”.
Anyway, if ever the fight will push through I already know what will happen, Mayweather will keep running while Pacquiao will keep chasing him.
FOR A FIGHT OF THIS MAGNITUDE. THE BIGGEST PURSE, THE BIGGEST VIEWING AUDIENCE AND THE BEST 2 P4P FIGHTERS, BOXING HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO PROVE TO THE WORLD THAT BOTH FIGHTERS ARE CLEAN BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, AND BY THE WAY MANNY WANT’S TO SUE FLOYD (WHO MADE NO ACCUSATIONS) FOR DEFAMATION, BUT HE WANTS TO FIGHT PAULIE WHO MADE THE ACCUSATIONS.
For all those that think the Olympic-Style testing is much better, how did Marion Jones get caught? It wasn’t throught the USADA testing.
Question: Why is it that Olympic athletes who were stripped of their medals were disqualified only AFTER their events when they were tested with banned substances? What happened to the random tests made during their training and on the day before their events? There are two factors, one is the USADA method is not foolproof and the other is the method can be manipulated.
Mayweather is KING!!!! Pacquaio is juiced up. He wants to have his drug test scheduled, what a joke. Why even take the drug test if its a scheduled one??? Anyone who fails a scheduled drug test is just plain and simply a fool. I understand that the majority of White America hates Floyd for being a talented, rich, outspoken, Black man.But hey thats just something that you have to deal with. This isn’t the 60’s when black athletes had to be mutes and yes-sir men and uncle toms to be accepted by whites. Muhammed Ali broke that cycle. Mayweather is an American just like you, but yet you root for the foreigner. Why??? Do you think in Pacquaios hometown there’s a big Mayweather fan base rooting for him to defeat Pacquaio??? Of course not. Only in America will something like this happen…. I love Floyds attitude. I love the fact that he doesn’t pretend to be a phony and act like a media darling or golden child. He is who he is. What would you rather, a real Mayweather or a phony Tiger Woods??? You tell me.
Mayweather is so afraid to fight Pacman. So is his father. Even when he was still starting in his professional career father and son are so afraid of southpaws. Senior even warned his Roger when he was in still in prison not to match junior against any good southpaw fighter. That is how afraid these father and son. My advice to PBF, if you are really great as you claim, fight Pacman under the normal boxing rules. The great fighters of boxing never adopted the rules you are insisting. Robinson, Leonard, Ali, Amstrong and Hagler and Duran never insisted on these rules. These are the great fighters like Pacquiao. You are never in such greatness unless you prove it. Greatness is bestowed not claimed.
Who cares if this fight dont happen. Pacquiao dont need Floyd to cement his legacy in boxing, he’s earned it already. Floyd’s legacy is his questionable actions and decisions in fighting on even terms with his opponents. And we all know that he ducked fighters in his own division by his ‘act of retirement’. He’s not fooling anyone.
This mess was created by GBP as a way out for Floyd. We already knew from Floyd’s history that he’ll try everything to duck fighters that can whoop his ass and this is just one example of Floyd’s known tactics, it is not the other way around coz Pac hasn’t back down from any challenges. Let’s see maybe these names will ring a bell, Margarito, Mosley Cotto, Williams, enough said.
FACE IT MANNY PACQUIAO SUCKS HE IS TRYING TO GET OUT OF A FIGHT HE KNOWS HE WILL LOOSE . HE IS TRYING TO START ALL THIS COURT DRAMA SAVE IT FOR YOUR MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there would be no problem if the mayweather followed the rules and regulations requirement of boxing already implemented. the 10,000000 penalty is needed because the mayweather has shown that they break the rules in the past by robbing marquez of 2 lbs. that can make a big diffence in the level of fair playingfields.
pongii- first of all work on your grammar. Steroids and other PED’s are used in cylce’s. If you know when you are going to be screened you can cycle off the drug and not be detected. That is why Olympic style testing is so effective. It is so random it is more full proof. The tests done by the NFL etc are a joke. I have seen these guys in the gym and they are totaly juiced up. The reason you are so upset and have to stoop so low with deragatory statements is because I have struck a chord. You can not deny “The Truth”
TEST OR NO TEST MAYWEATHER IS THE BEST MAYWEATHER WILL WIN KNOCK OUT OR NO KNOCK OUT. YALL PEOPLE WHO IS WRITING DONT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BOXING. I PREDICT HOLD UP WAIT A MINUTE I KNOW THAT MAYWEATHER WILL WIN HOW COULD YOU BEAT A MAN THAT NEVER BEEN KNOCKED OUT OR ON THE FLOOR . IM GONNA PROVE MY POINT RIGHT NOW MANNY GOT KNOCKED OUT AND LOST 3 TIME. MAYWEATHER IS STILL THE KING IN BOXING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forget about the fight. Move on!! Boxing this days have so much talents going around. Why waste it on someone who demand too much just to make a scene and make someone looks bad. Pacquiao never failed a drug test in each of his bouts and so have Mayweather. Why does Mayweather demand for a more test. The boxing world really wanted this fight just to see how good Mayweather blabber mouth against Pacquiao talent and speed. Bob Arum has line up another boxer for Pacquiao, lets see how it goes. Forget Mayweather, the boxing world dopn’t need a prima donna.
Team Pacquiao won’t even accept their own proposal. If everyone is for not changing the rules then why the $10 million per pound penalty? Did you forget about that clause Scott? If Manny isn’t okay with the normal penalty’s for coming in over the weight limit, maybe he shouldn’t be boxing in Nevada. If he wants to change Nevada’s rules, maybe he shouldn’t fight there. Pacman got the purse split he wanted- which he didnt think Mayweather would accept-, Pacman then got the weight he wanted, then he got the gloves he wanted- he didn’t think Mayweather would agree to-, then he got the absurd $10 million per pound penalty- against all policy and totally unprecedented, and which he thought Mayweather would never agree to-, now Mayweather has agreed to the proposal Manny made yesterday… and Manny refused it! It was Manny’s proposal! Manny is scared out of his pants to fight Mayweather and keeps coming up with a different excuse everyday. Mayweather has agreed to every demand by Pacman, the thing is Pacman hasn’t. As soon as Floyd agrees to the last sticking point, Top Rank and Pacman make some new demand to try and get out of the fight. Now, Pacman is trying to fight this Pauli who has also said Manny’s on the juice. At first, I thought this was all just great hype for the fight, but now I’m really wondering if Pacquiao will ever fight Mayweather, or any good “Boxer” for that matter. Pacman ducked a rubber matchy with JMM, then ducked Mosley, and now its a different excuse everyday not to fight Floyd.
I think Floyd should retire! Think of all the boxers in boxing today and ask yourself,Which one does Floyd have to beat to retire? Or even be considered the best? Pac?..Mosley?..WHO?? It doesnt matter who Floyd beats He will never get credit!! If Pac-man or Mosley won a fight against Floyd and retired, It would be fine and also understandable… WHY????… Cause they just beat the best… Floyd Mayweather jr.
Nevada testing for performance enhancing drugs is ancient, and easy to beat. For example, Mosley never tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, and it was later discovered that he had been using them for quite some time (supposedly unknowingly). Boxing needs to get clean, and having the USADA conduct the testing in the biggest fight would be a great step in that direction. Perhaps Mayweather’s motives are difference in requesting the tests, but either way I am all for it.
WHY ARE YOU GUYS HATEN ON MAYWEATHER KNOWING THAT HE IS THE BEST BOXER . HE BEAT BETTER FIGHTERS THEN PACQUIAO , IF I WAS MAYWEATHER I WILL TAKE TEST. THINK ABOUT IT LOOK HOW LITTLE IS PACQUIAO AND LOOK HOW BIG IS COTTO. SIZE IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
For manny’s size 5′6″ and weight 145 that’s normal for that size. Freddie Roach mentioned he’s okay with random testing but don’t do interfere within 48 hours of the fight and include the test to both fighters immediately after the fight. That sounds like a fair test. Imagine that after the fight, fights sometimes last as long as as what 45 minutes or shorter. So you got to look at it like thats a great idea to be tested immediately after the fight. If any fighter tested positive forfeits all money.
the truth,
its also valid to say that pretty boy is taking steroids, he looks pretty puff up and his head is the same size as marquez whole body. he’s speedy and unbelievable roid stamina. he achieved unbelievable victory beating opponents and still unbeaten. and pretty boy’s behavior look and shows more like the type that take roids,ped, hgh than pacman. so lets accuse floyd.
I’m a fan of pacman. The drug test is rediculous but I think that Pac should just do it just to prove a point. Then see if mayweather will add another condition. Then End the fight if he’s got another condition. The mayweather team are clowns. When Pacman camp agrees to this drug test, passes it, then wins the fight…then the whole boxing world will be launghing at them. Seems fair right? Mayweather will get the drug test and Pacquiao will get victory.
I think it’s pretty clear that Floyd has a fear of fighting Manny because he knows he may lose; thus PBF is creating a big issue with these false accusations of Pacman using steroids because he has nothing else on Manny. If he looks at the facts, Manny has always been clean as a whistle in all his previous fights and Floyd knows it, yet he will sabotage this fight to get himself off the hook from fighting him. Now we know the true character of Floyd, and it’s NOT that of a true people’s champion. I can now understand why Paquaio is taking a stand to these unreasonable and abnormal demands. Let the appropriate legal jurisdiction, the Nevada State Commission decide and make the drug test ruling (as has always been the case) and then let’s get on with it. Otherwise, Team Pacquiao should move on and fight more worthy opponents who are only concerned in the fight game, not in mind games.
James, take a hike or go with mayweather to have a pregnancy test!
I agree with Scott. Both fighters should agree on just taking urine tests. I don’t think Floyd has a chance against Manny. It’s obvious Manny isn’t taking steroids so I think it’s really stupid for Floyd to allow Manny to take these drug tests. If you look at it Manny didn’t even accuse Floyd of taking any performance enhancing drugs. Manny just wants to fight period. So stop whining (Floyd) and sign the mega contract!
BREAKING NEWS GAWEATHER WANTS DNA TEST FROM PACMAN CLAIMS HE IS SOME SORT OF FREAK OF NATURE!
are you telling us from experience. do you think i would believe you than doctors and healthcare professionals.
you can still wake up – don’t be fooled by your floyd sr who started this allegations when his boxer got flattened by pacman.
so to avoid the blame he did this. be smart – i think you are better than floyd sr.
random means they can do the testing to pacman even the day of the fight as requested by your hero.
3 blood tests and unlimited urine testing – that’s what pacman told your hero.
what did he do? trying to play dirty mind games. do you think pacman is not smart not to know the mentality of your hero when in fact he has been known doing that.
i can’t wait for them to serve papers from pacman lawyers
It is easy to pass the drug tests if you know what day you are taking it. That is why random tests are more reliable in making sure athlete’s are “clean”. Manny’s refusal for the random tests should raise a red flag for all true boxing fans who care about the integrity of the sport. If Floyd did the same thing you would be all over him. Let us try to be unbiased when accessing the situation.
that’s the right thing to do, submit to the proper authority. nobody brings in their own authority.
pacquiao said that if nevada state athletic com requires more blood testing, he would submit to it.
it’s a very, very sound proposition.
if floyd won’t fight then he’ll end up in the court with manny because manny’s gonna sue his ass.
This is a great article you have written. In fairness to all who supports boxing, people who make tons of money from boxing, people who watch boxing and people who buy PPVs- don’t change boxing classic rules. Mayweather and GBP should not be bigger than boxing; these people are trying to change boxing business to satisfy their self interest. For sure PACMAN will not complain being discreminated about the color of his skin; he is proud to be brown. I hope that people in boxing business must not support the Mayweathers’ hallucinations about PACMAN steriods. You, in boxing business, must realize that you are killing your own self interest. PACMAN is the face of boxing right now!
james: i just puked at that garbage you made up. go to sleep and don’t waste anymore of our time
Let the NSAC handle the urine & blood test. They’re professional enough to handle that testing. If Pacquiao refuse to let NSAC do ruling then that a big question mark. Mayweather fought 40 fights and now he’s changing the rules of boxing for decades because it’s just too obvious he scared for the fight. Making so many excuses.
Before Pacquiao/Cotto fight Mayweather Sr. said he want his son to fight Pacquiao. But after the fight when Pacquiao beat up Cotto he made so many excuses not to let his son fight Pacquiao. They need to stop crying and let NSAC handle it.
it was your hero who proposed the 10 oz instead of what pacman has been using all long 8 oz.
10 oz is good for 154 lbs fighters and not the caliber of pacman.
pacman must tell your hero to adhere to 147 lbs – look what he did to marquez and even refused the weigh in the day of the fight.
the only thing that pacman disagreed was not to be tested by your hero’s friends.
he should go back to amateur boxing and try to get his olympic medal
do you know marion jones.
do you know who has been doing the tesing in nevada since title fighs became famous?
do you know how many pacman agree to blood testing and urine testing.
you must be listening to yourself and not reading many articles.
you are either don’t know anything or pretending to know something
who is this floyd sr that started this chaos.
is he beleivable person than the nevada.
who is this floyd jr, is he well loved by the media and many people – you are the one that should wake up.
james you talked like a kid. Grow up boy. Wipe the milk at your mouth.
james you talked like a kid. Grow up boy.
Scap the blood test? No way! Look, Pacquiao says he wants 10oz gloves – Mayweather says ok…Pacquiao says he wants 10 million for every lb over 147 – Mayweather says ok…Pacquiao says we fight at a 50/50 split – Mayweather says ok… Mayweather says we want “random” drug testing by Olympic committee – Pacquiao says NO WAY! We’ll tell YOU when we will give samples for testing. Everyone acts as if it’s an unreasonable request at $40 million per purse, please. Wake up people! If Manny won’t fight, so be it but they’ll always be a question in the back of everyones mind as to why not!
james.. you talked like a kid. Be a man. I’ll agree that the NSAC should make the rules not the Mayweather’s camp. If Pacquiao still won’t accept it then that a big question mark. Maweather fought at Nevada so many times and he just ask this blood test rules in facing Pacquiao. It’s seem so funny to me. It’s so obvious he’s too scared to face Pacquiao and making excuses. The professional boxing has been using that rules for decades and just change it because Mayweather is scared? The Mayweather’s camp should stop crying and let the NSAC handle it. They’re professional enough to know what is right and good for the sports.
Yeah, this is tiring …
this james must be talking to himself – describing his anatomy.
his idol must be fraud sr, i mean floyd sr.
he keeps on repeating himself that even his dad would be ashamed to read.
he is either low life or just pathetic person trying to get sympathy from the public that his dad did to the boxing community, floyd sr.
when you can’t win talking and writing intelligently – you go to your ignorant styles which you are. truly, it shows you are really fraud jr, i mean floyd jr.
the standard rule of testing was sufficient. yea why fix it when is not broken. maybe gbp wants to clone manny pacquaio and floyd some of that dna replication to grow some balls.

There wasn’t that much of a difference in they way Mayweather Jr and Pacquiao moved up in weight and kept their power and speed. Those of you that let yourself be swayed by rumors and conspiracies should really just take as step back just ask yourself if all the facts really make sense.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. could have done the same thing Pacquiao did. However the only difference is that within a 15 month period Mayweather Jr would fight 2 fights, within the same 15 month period Pacquiao fought 4 fights.
It’s not super human, I lose/gain 3-5lbs when I eat and s a medium sized pizza.
What’s up with Floyd the only great boxer that ducks great boxers of his era. If you are really good then
fight everyone that comes your way. Hearns, Hagler,
Duran, Sugar Ray, Muhammad Ali, and Holyfield. They
don’t care who you are… just fight. Hey, Floyd just
fight stop ducking… if you are better than the other
boxer then you will not lost the fight. So, shut up and fight those who think better than you…
boxing hate floyd,mma hates floyd, floyd says getting hit is cruel sport
yes, yes, yes. the NSAC is the one who can make official testing because the fight will be held on nevada. and testing procedures are on thier hands,not on mayweather. what ever the NSAC rule is, mayweather camps must comply because peoples champ is agree on that. so let the press coference happen on jan. and please no more dirty tactics mayweather clans, just play according to rules and dont demand like a king coz nobody is over the rule.
Testing is only credible if it is RANDOM…..
I wonder how any fighter can claim to be the P4P king
will all these suspicions.
Only dopers fear RANDOM tests
floyd think he so special ,pac will expose this fake cherry picker that cant win with cheating the boat in his favor
Hey guys MAYWEATHER want Pap Smear screening and Mammogram?
Oh come on. Blood tests are also necessarily to erase doubts among skeptics and haters.
What Mayweather shall shop around an independent testing company and cooperate with boxing commission. That will solve the fiasco. Pacquiao does not budge about random testing as long as there is cut-off of no testing before the fight.
