Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions set the record straight – News

LOS ANGELES (December 28, 2009) . . . After a Christmas weekend filled with comments and reports related to the potential mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions are issuing the following statement in order to set the record straight.

Let the record be clear: Manny Pacquiao and his promoter Bob Arum are threatening to walk away from the largest fight in history.

The fact is that random blood and urine testing was one of the many deal points and was listed along with the others, such as the financial split, the weight, financial penalty for being overweight, the appointment of the foreign sales agent, the production of the marketing assets, the gloves and many more. Team Mayweather made major concessions in many of these areas and we were optimistic that Team Pacquiao would do the same as it related to the request for random blood and urine testing, which Floyd Mayweather agreed to immediately.
It is disappointing for us to see that the benefits of blood testing and the fact that many different substances and procedures can only be detected by blood testing, are still not fully understood by all.

Their “take it or leave it” approach where blood testing would stop 30 days prior to the fight unless the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) approved differently is another indication that they may not want this fight. Pacquiao’s position (and as stated on his website) is. “The truth is taking blood out of my body does not seem natural to me and mentally I feel it will weaken me if blood is taken from me just days before the fight” or he is “afraid of needles” and does not feel comfortable with blood being taken closer than 30 days before the fight is another interesting point. The fact is that he did have blood taken just 14 days prior to his fight with Ricky Hatton, an event which was documented on HBO’s 24/7 reality show.

Also when told that Pacquiao feels that the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) is an agent of Golden Boy Promotions-which is in and of itself a ridiculous accusation-we moved swiftly and made yet another concession by stating that we would be perfectly fine to retain another agency which would do the random urine and blood tests and jointly agree on a reasonable cutoff prior to the fight but which would still maintain the integrity of the results. Let it be clear that this procedure was declined by Pacquiao as was the proposal to bring in an independent mediator such as Sen. John McCain, a suggestion that was in fact embraced by Bob Arum, but also declined by Manny Pacquiao.

Let it be very clear that nobody from Team Mayweather or Golden Boy Promotions is accusing Pacquiao of anything. But the reality seems to be that for whatever reason Pacquiao does not want to participate in random blood testing, which has already been deemed a harmless procedure that many current athletes are subjected to prior to and during competition.

Team Mayweather and Golden Boy Promotions is still open to the earlier discussions of having both parties work out a mutually agreeable understanding of the testing, which would be conducted by a mutually agreed upon agency.

In closing Floyd Mayweather is one of the most decorated athletes boxing has ever seen and he is anxious to make this fight happen for all of the fans and sports enthusiasts that are asking for this fight to happen too. As you might have noticed Floyd has been silently watching and patiently waiting for the final details of the fight to get worked out. As Floyd has already stated he does not have a problem with the random procedure and will be under the same requirements as Pacquiao, it is simply hard for him to understand why there is reluctance on Pacquiao’s part to agree to do the same.

    lex_fugitive:

    Thanks, you know like I do that urine test can be tricked.

  • Milkdud says:

    Keep it real – The Mayweather camp only asked for one thing! They gave Pacquiao everything he asked for.

    Just keeping it real.

  • Gio says:

    Can anyone tell me why floyd did not asked Marquez for a blood test?? Is it because he is confident that Marquez has no chance of beating him??

    And is it because floyd is scared of Manny that is why he is demanding all this blood test thing???

    Please explain!!!!!!!!!

  • lex_fugitive says:

    Are all of you Pactards really ignorant of the fact that HGH and other designer steroids don’t show up in urine tests? Pacquiao gave blood 14 days before his fight with Hatton 9 months ago. But now he has a superstition about it? And the reason jobs only to a urine test is because street drugs like Cannabis, cocaine, opiates, etc. etc. all show up in urine, while these designer steroids only show up in blood.

  • MR.Suave says:

    Ask yourself if you are the fighter. Your blood will be taken at anytime you are trying go get in shape. Ask yourself why is urine test not enough to see what your are being tested for to prove your innocence. Otherwise abolish the urine test in our system of government that are being required for medical clearance, police clearance, employment etc.

  • mhols says:

    this random blood testing make floyd really insecure of Pacman now. They have to change course coz they are going down to their demands. they cannot declare that they are ducking the little Pacman because the Pacman has the right and the best in the world right now. as i can see and read, for many people ,they disagree on mayweather.

  • neukid says:

    Pacquiao a ducker? If you are Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of The Year for 2006, 2008 and now most likely FOTY 2009, Fighter of the Decade of Sports Illustrated, ESPN and HBO can you get those awards if you are a ducker? I want some answers.

  • stan j says:

    tomer tomer you not very clever are you, saying floyd is ducking pac, man you a total prat, manny is the one ducking, all he has to do is shut everyone up by accepting the random test, is that difficult for you to understand use your bread man

  • king tut says:

    People this is pretty simple, read;

    If you were accused of something which you didn’t do, in front of the entire world, what would you do??

    Take a test, clear your name right?

    Unless.

  • graham says:

    RA-CONNOISSEUR,

    You are doing Pacquiao a disservice by not keeping up with events.

    USADA is out of the picture now.

    I wish one of you could come up with an informed argument for Pacquiao.

  • JC Hubo says:

    LOL, somebody is blocking my posts. Truth hurts?

  • RA-CONNOISSEUR says:

    To Paclover

    There is no Filipino athlete ever caught using PED’s
    OK.
    Marion Jones,Shame Mosley,Ben Johnson etc. etc.
    including Maywither Sr. took drugs and peddled drugs
    have you heard of any Filipino convicted of drug dealing? the answer is a resounding NONE!
    don’t turn this this topic into a generalized race related issue becuase this is about Individuals and NOT about a whole nationality or race.We are talking about Floyd and the Pacman I’m not even a Filipino

  • RA-CONNOISSEUR says:

    The only unfair advantage of the Pacman is his Skills and Speed.
    This fight will be settled in court.
    They got the Mayweathers and Golden Boy
    It’s clear that Mayweather & Golden Boy will lose a lot of Millions here.It’s better if the Pacman not to give this fight and the money to these group so they will have a hard time in Court.Your lawyers will suck you dry.
    The Pacman’s Lawyers are all Volunteers from Harvard and they will only take 50% of the Damage cost from the Mayweathers and Golden Boy,They will become Maywithers and Folden Boy AHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA I think this Court case is better to watch that the Match,I love this game.You know what It’s a win-win for the Pacman here,If he wins he get’s the Money If he lose,It’s still a win because Maywithers and Folden Boys will be financially drained and the Pacman will not be charged by his lawyers because that’s their guarantee,they get paid only if they win the case.

  • RA-CONNOISSEUR says:

    USADA is very close with Golden Boy
    They might lace the syringe with some poison or maybe contaminate the blood with prohibited drugs,Nobody can trust these cheaters,Bob Arum is too smart for these bunch of idiots,Bob Arum is Harvard Law Graduate.
    Pacman and Bob Arum’s camp offer is to include the same Agency who tests Professional athletes (not amateurs)like NBA,NFL,Major League Baseball,How can they trust USADA or (World Anti Doping Agency) If they failed to catch Marion Jones in the Sydney Olympics,what’s the difference here in boxing.and besides even if Marion didn’t take PED’s her performance will still be the same anyway.She only won 3 Gold and 2 Bronze and She didn’t dominate the track and field Cathy Freeman beat her in 400 meter
    USADA or any agencies froth with danger and mistrust cannot be allowed to tinker with Professional athletes,They can be corrupted easily.Why insist on USADA? if Pacman’s camp agree to blood tests conducted by the same agency that tests NFL,MAJOR LEAGUES BASEBALL and NBA.

  • limited boxing says:

    coward is coward!!!!!!!!!! b4 the fight set on March 13 why try to run away from the bonds??? bcause of Blood Test??? NOt Common Sense.at the ring blood will spills which definetly we dont know why the blood bleed from why scare?? Dont want to hear nonsense, no supernonse

  • ayi says:

    WHY FLOYD DID NOT DEMAND BLOOD TESTING, LIKE WHAT HE S DOING TO PACMAN NOW, WITH HIS FIGHT WITH DELA HOYA.IT WAS A MEGA FIGHT TOO!!…floyd is scared.

  • ayi says:

    u r 100 percent gerry//.. sue the father and son..

  • ayi says:

    Floyd say he s the best,he can knockedout mannynafter seeing Manny`s fights..then he is singing a little different now..doping haay

  • ayi says:

    nobody frm Mayweather camp accused Manny of doping??watch Mayweather sr interviews…the camp of Floyd s about to be charged n court for libel!

  • dork vader says:

    supreme court is the best… The best moronic views ive read so far! ASS KISSER!

  • graham says:

    maybe you are right lorendgreat.

    maybe they are not worried about damaging pacquiao’s reputation at the moment.

    maybe they are saving the fight for later in the year. in which case they will make even more money.

    only time will tell.

  • lorendgreat says:

    This is a very expensive fight and it must be very controversial so that you can sell tickets. These are all extreme propaganda. You are just using boxing crowds to gain more money.

  • Supreme Court says:

    Pacquiao Is the Biggest fraud in Boxing history:
    For 15 years and through 7 divisions, he has never faced a fellow titleholder, which cannot be statistically an accident.
    For 14 years, he has avoided all black fighters on his path (Casamayo, Campbell; Holt; Witter; Bradley; Mosley and now he is turning down 40 millions for 10 ml blood sample)
    Mosley is the best at 147
    Bradley the best at 140
    Marquez the best at 135
    Where is Pacquiao the best?
    How come he is then the best p4p if he is not even the best at any divisions?
    Does that make sense? Of course not!!!!

    That’s why he is a FRAUD!!!!!!!
    A drug ADDICT!

  • Chicken Run says:

    To paclover

    Mate your emotions seems clouding your judgements, Floyd wants a fair fight? Your boyfriend floyd cheated when he fought Marquez who’s already the smaller man, No way floyd would want a fair fight specially againts Pac! Mate just accept the fact FMJ is scared to a small fella who’s doing all the job that he floyd himself keeps on avoiding and thats fighting the best and always taking the risk.

  • paclover says:

    Why does it hurt that your “only” supposed hero is a cheater.

    A good man and inoncent man would say….Let’s do it.

    I begged you for a crazy amount of $10 million per lb penalty

    I begged you to use the 8 oz. gloves

    all you pinoys can’t see that Floyd wants a fair fight.

    No wonder you guys have never had anything good. pacsteroids is a joke!

  • BS_ says:

    THIS TOPIC IS ANNOYINGLY COMING BACK AND FORTH.

    One thing is clear, every professional sport has it’s own rule about dope testing. In boxing, commission rules.

    The olympic type of testing is Mayweather’s demand. If Pac doesn’t like it so be it. The only way to resolve is compromise. The test that both camps are agreeable. DON’T FORCE ANYTHING IF NEITHER SIDE DISAGREE. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. PAC HATERS AND FLOYD HATERS ALIKE SHOULD not do beyond idiocy by making false accusations.

  • paclover says:

    Excuses…excuses

    pacsteroids is such a crybaby. Suing is his best shot against the Mayweathers?

    Hello….you dumb uneducated little man. It was part of the contract that you first said it was ok and then you backed off because you did not like that it would affect your training “steroid” schedule.

    Barry Bonds, Marion Jones, and pacsteroids have something in common.

    They are hypocrites and liars.

    I hope you keep lying to your wife and children.

  • Chicken Run says:

    People we’ve been fooled my Fraud “Avoid” Gaychicken! I think he really doesn’t want to take this fight right from the beginning. Negotiations we’re running suspiciously smooth until the chicken reveals he’s trump card to avoid the fight. He demands random blood testing and Pacman propose to draw his blood right after the fight, so i think its fair and all their demands will meet half way if they do that.

  • vince vegas says:

    I always felt a March fight was a very agressive time table for Pac considering he fought Cotto in November. Regardless of the fact he didn’t take serious damage, Cotto was no tune up fight. The body needs a good eight to twelve weeks of rest before beginning another championship level training schedule. Seems I recall Roach saying the same thing back when the fight was first announced, stating Pac would need 12 full weeks to prepare for Floyd rather than his usual eight. At this point Pac barely will have eight weeks. I’m not saying anyone is ducking or hiding, I’m a boxing fan first & foremost & I like both fighters, however I feel there’s a possibility Pac’s camp may be using the testing as a way to have the fight moved back on the 2010 calendar.

  • lex_fugitive says:

    Manny has been saying he is “superstitious” about blood being drawn within 30 days of the fight. Apparently this is a brand new superstition since it didn’t worry him at all before the hatton fight. So, since Manny fought Hatton he mysteriously has this new “superstition”? Manny couldn’t be any more scared and its being proved by him trying to get a fight with Pauli M. more then he is against Mayweather. Also, Hanson, yes there is a cat-and-mouse game but many of the PEDs can be found in blood tests, but not urine. Not Nevada, not Manny, not Roach, not even Arum is saying otherwise. They admit many of these PEDs can only be found with blood but they insist Manny has developed this new “superstition”. 14 days before Manny fought Hatton he had his blood drawn. Why didn’t he cancel that fight. According to Manny himself he feels that would make him weaker for his fight. The fact is top rank has made absurd demands they never thought Mayweather would agree to and now they realize this is their last chance out and they want it. Manny will never fight a true boxer. He’s scared and understandably so.

  • hanson says:

    James – thats the problem sometimes with the cat and mouse game. The makers of the sophisticated drugs will develop a better one . . which can’t be detected, then we have the other company that develops the testing machine which eventually catches up and detects the previously undetectable one. I just want this fight to materialize . . it will be good for boxing . . im a Manny fan since i saw him almost a decade ago, with hardly any defense. And now, to see him with those great in and out moves . . pop on both left and right hand (i.e. Manny’s great work in developing his “right hand” is a testament that you can further develop a very good fighter [with patience & right training] . . to a great fighter . . hats off to Roach in helping Manny harness this weapon on shifting properly the weight).

  • hanson says:

    Apologies Manok, just making sure the message is sent across. However, i do take point of you calling people in the internet as “gay or what have you”, that will not help Manny’s cause. Provide your strong arguments without the s__t comments, we will be able to win more hearts and minds that way.

  • think says:

    @hanzon 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

  • zilo says:

    pacquiao- fighter of the decade
    mayweather – fraud of the century

  • wowzabean says:

    Also many people do not include PBF as part of accusing the Pacman. But in the R A the Rugged Man interview, he implied that Pac was taking PED’s.

    Bottom line Schaefer wouldn’t let Mosley go through the blood testing w/the bout against Judah (which never happened). Why now? Makes you wonder.

  • anonymous says:

    “Let it be very clear that nobody from Team Mayweather or Golden Boy Promotions is accusing Pacquiao of anything….”

    Correction on the article. Floyd Sr. started this accusations of steroids as seen on many of his interviews. That is why they are being sued.

  • wowzabean says:

    “is not accusing Pacquiao of anything”

    That right there discredited your whole article……..

  • Conscience says:

    Reprint from one of the responses by Doug Fischer of Ring TV (Online/Ring Magazine – bible of boxing)/Dec 28/Monday Mailbag (about tattoos/etc):

    I keep hearing this tattoo argument from various boxing people, who have had prior business relationships with Pacquiao (that didn’t end so well), and my thought is that getting a tattoo and having blood drawn are two different things.

    As for what each fighter does if Mayweather-Pacquiao isn’t made, I don’t care. I’d rather them sit the year out than fight anyone else, unless it’s Sugar Shane.

    I don’t see Mayweather taking that fight, though. If he wants Olympic-style drug testing for a guy who’s never been busted for anything, what’s he gonna want in order to face a dude who has admitted to taking PEDs? Blood testing during fight, between rounds? Would Mosley have to have a spit bucket and a piss bucket in his corner?

    I tell you what, I bet you Mosley would agree to anything to get his hands on Floyd.

  • graham says:

    autocad tutorial,

    In light of what has been revealed so far tell me, what is Pacquiao’s latest reason for not taking the fight?

  • roy says:

    floyd should join ballet instead ,he look good in pick,we could cheer him dancing

  • Conscience says:

    Reprint from one of the responses by Doug Fischer of Ring TV (Online/Ring Magazine – bible of boxing)/Dec 28/Monday Mailbag (about needles/etc):

    Pacquiao’s people didn’t say he feared needles. They claim that he believes giving blood close to the fight will weaken him. That might not be a very rational notion to you or I but nobody ever said that Pacquiao was the most educated guy the sport. I don’t claim to know the man personally, but just from observing more than a few of his camp workouts I can tell that he’s superstitious, so who knows what he really believes?

    Anyway, I don’t have a very strong feeling on this whole drug-testing controversy. I don’t think Pacquiao is guilty of any wrong doing and I don’t believe that he should be treated as though he’s a cheater or have to undergo more drug testing than any other prize fighter. However, if I were a boxer who believed that a possible opponent was cheating in some manner (be it PEDs or illegal hand wrapping or whatever) I would do whatever is within my power to screen for and prevent that from happening in our bout.

    I’ve tried to avoid commenting too much on the fight and the various points of debate that have come up (such as where the bout will take place) until the damn thing is done. That’s all I really care about. I just want the integral parties to the fight to workout a reasonable compromise.

    Now, I’ll take a stab and commenting on your points:

    1)I admit that I don’t know much about blood doping, EPO or transfusing, but is Pacquiao going to be able to hide that he’s doing it if a blood test is taken 15-20 days out from the fight and then immediately after? If the USADA can’t take his blood in the final days leading into the bout is the testing no good?

    2)I agree with what you’re saying about Mayweather in principle. All fighters should know that they’re entering the ring on a level playing field but they have to rely on the regulations/drug testing/screening of the state commissions. I know Mayweather thinks he’s bigger than boxing, but is he really? Pacquiao and Bob Arum may not think so, and you can’t fault them for thinking that way. With the run his fighter is on Arum can make the argument that Pacquiao, not Mayweather, is the hottest thing in boxing and doesn’t have to be dictated to by anyone, especially if his fighter has done nothing wrong and has always complied with the rules of the sport. (By the way, Pacquiao didn’t break Cotto with endurance or stamina. He took Cotto’s best shots early and hurt him in return. The fight essentially ended after the second knockdown in fourth round. From that point on, Cotto backpedaled and avoided exchanges. Pacquiao causally walked him down. He didn’t have dig deep and come up with any kind of Herculean effort down the stretch of the bout because Cotto wasn’t putting any pressure on him.)

    3)I think Pacquiao would have no problem walking away from Mayweather and the giant payday. The fact that he’s running for congress in 2010 instead of focusing solely on his boxing career is an indication that he feels he’s already cemented his legacy in the sport. And you know what? He’s earned the right to feel that way.
    Mayweather has a right not to get into the ring with anyone he isn’t sure is clean, but the sad fact about sports in this era is that he can’t be sure that ANYONE he fights is clean. I hate to say this but I think he’s going to have to get over it to an extent or re-retire. If the negotiations to all of his potential ’super-bouts’ are going to be bogged down with Olympic-style testing demands I’d rather he not bothered.

  • roy says:

    WHY HAS BOXING TURNED INTO A WIMPY SPORT. EVERYONE WANT TO SEE SPARING WITH HEAD GEAR? NO WONDER BOXING IS DIEING LIKE CD.EVERYONE LEAVING AS MMA FIGHT IS WAY MORE EXCITING AND BOXING HAS BORING EVEN FIGHTS.AND NOW WE EVEN WANT TO MAKE MORE RULES?

  • hanson says:

    There is indeed more room to improve for professional boxing. There should be a centralized body that provides for an extensive and clear anti-doping policy and procedure and consistently applied not only in the US but globally. However, to start that off in this potential mega-stakes fight of the decade between Pacquiao and Mayweather, is clearly pre-mature as the details need to be agreed by the various boxing organizations and agreed to by the boxers and their promoters (In the basketball play-offs, if Jordan was scoring an average of 80 pts per game, do you ask him to submit to Olympic style blood testing before the final/7th fame? if Roger Federer was blasting his opponents 6-1, 6-1, 6-0 in the grandslams, do you ask him to submit to Olympic style blood testing before the final match? – asking a significant requirement, needs to be done not with haste, but appropriately reviewed/vetted out to ensure the tests (blood or urine or combination of two) is appropriate for that professional sport e.g. Boxing.

    What we don’t want to see, is the Mayweather Camp and Golden Boy dictating and insinuating that they have the “higher ground” when in the first place, these players have NOT been the paragon of virtues. Golden Boy refused to have Mosley blood tested during his 2008 battle with Zab Judah claiming that Las Vegas only subscribes to urine tests (wow deja vu!) and the Mayweathers have been in the papers for all the wrong reasons (oh, recently, they did the slip off hand versus poor Marquez who had to move two weight classes higher, to be further crushed with extra pounds from Money May).

  • cna151 says:

    To be perfectly honest i believe mayweather is scared of him. Even thou i would pick mayweather in there fight if it happens. i just dont like all the stipulations that have to happen for the fight to take place. pacman has agreed to take a blood test right after the fight. so what is he hiding? nothing. and yes mayweather always ducks. ex.. mosley , margarito and now pacman.

  • EricT says:

    Everybody, when you see Kyle’s post. Just pass it up. He has a pea brain. You’ll just lose 10 IQ points.

  • bonebreaker says:

    I think Manny should take the blood tests and there should be a reasonable testing date cutt off like 14 days before the fight. Manny did take a blood test 14 days before his fight with Hatton. 3rd world country? that’s no excuse. Don’t insult people that are from 3rd world countries! I have grandparents from India, Poland and Africa. Manny fights in AMERICA and he knows what the deal is. Take the blood tests like Floyd is willing to and lets get it on!

  • graham says:

    pacquiao has run out of excuses now.

    and you pacman fans need to come up with better reasons to defend him. you keep recycling the same rubbish.

    this is ridiculous.

  • Pacman says:

    PACMAN

    1. Pacman is NO#1 Pound for Pound King.
    2. Pacman is the current WBO WW Champion of the world.
    3. Pacman is one of All Time Great.
    4. Pacman hold 7 champion belts in seven division.
    5. Pacman is the Fighter of the Year
    6. Pacman one of the greatest boxer of his time.

    MAYWEATHER
    1. I am the best (According to him)
    2. I am undefeated ( Not fighting the best)
    3. Saying the best phrase in boxing history ” LEGACY DOES NOT
    PAY BILLS”
    4. Best ducker of his time.

    What a waste of time, Manny.

  • pjb says:

    Look, you idiots. Manny is from a 3rd world country. They have beliefs
    and, some might say, superstitions. He’s NOT lying when he says he
    thinks taking blood right before the fight will weaken him. People
    from countries like his have a lot of what we would consider odd
    beliefs.

    And anyway, if the blood is taken AFTER the fight, there is NO
    DIFFERENCE whatsoever.

    Look – all this BS is just to make the gate bigger, raise the PR
    level. That’s all it is. The fight will happen. Count on it.

  • mally j says:

    man Pac is acting weak period. Mayweather agreed to pay him 10 mill for every pound over and then agreed to the gloves it seems like his ready. Pac is the one thats scared he is making excuses not to get the fight popin.

  • repapips says:

    No! Ther is no records to be straightented!!! Your flip flopping on the issues based on your past records. No credibility on your statements. Nye nye nye nye nye… loosers!!!!!

  • Pacman says:

    JC HUBO, Its impossible for Mayweather to go down to 147 lbs. Thats the reason for this blood testing.

  • think says:

    again there no excuse for pac here… if the doctor say its alright then its alright.. they have their own doctor ask them.. again his ASIA he might think this is about honor not logic.. so goldenboy(oscar himself) not skiefer or whatever his name is. his great agitation so they should hide him from the media.. pac side hate him.. if oscar himself go and meet pac since his pacs idol he will lower his guard, and the talk will go on as plan

  • adam w says:

    I don’t think pacmans on drugs although he does look freakishly muscular at the weigh in. But to say that Mayweater is ducking Mosley is c**p. I don’t see why he should take a fight against someone who didn’t want to fight him in the past. If Mosley had fought Mayweather when he was meant to he wouldnt be crying that he’s getting ducked. He’d have got beat then n he’d get beat now. mayweather beat pacman on points then ko mosley in November then back into retirement with about $100 million more

  • Don'tBeHatinPacman says:

    PACMAN is drug free… the HBO 24/7 edition just proved it. He took test 14 days before and found to be cleaned.

  • Pacman says:

    kyle, your an idiot!!!!!!

  • JC Hubo says:

    If I were fighting pacman, I woul NEVER agree to the 10-mil penalty per excess pound thing. 10mil is way so much money and there is a chance that i’d be half a pound overweight and that’ll still cost him 5 million cherries.

    Accepting such a term is just DAMN RIDICULOUS and IMPLAUSIBLE that ‘money’ mayweather agreed. I’m a little perplexed here. Help me out.

    If he really has the intention to fight the pacman then wouldn’t he have ironed things out a little bit?

  • Pacman says:

    Mayweather will not fight Pacman not untill he can get blood from him. He is so scared.He wants to know why the pacman is so destructable. Pacman is all over his head right now. Even Manny agrees to his request and find out that he is clean,he will have more reason to duck him.

  • think says:

    @MMA im a pac fan too.. but really if doctors say its not bad and theres no side effect in the fight… theres no reason not to take random blood test.. bad again maybe the reason is the way it was brought out of the media.. the only way to resolve it is a clear all party talk.. then maybe push the date of the fight.. so that the fighters can find center again and there no excuse for the loser

  • unknown says:

    why copy your whole report from another site, this shows u cant think of anything yourself
    look on fightnews.com to see the copy of it

  • think says:

    that a good statement on mayweather side… i dont know what to say as a pac fan.. may be this happen because of the way it was brought out of the media.. you know his mayweather Sr. so and so.. so thats way pac side is on a defensive.. may be he think its about honor not logic.. well his asian

    i agree with Chris! althought mayweather cheats in the Score Cards as you can see Castillo Vs Mayweather I

    Well, this is the whole point : pacman does seem to have something to hide – and it will potentially make a mockery of his recenty wins, i feel … time will reveal all, I hope.

  • chris says:

    Pacman is cheating and his fans cant stand to hear the truth.People are saying mayweather is cheating because he moved up in weight and never lost.He’s not ko people like pacman is.He’s just out boxing them.Pacman is a fraud and a cheat.Manny is walking through guys and you dummies just go along with it.Please he knock jmm down but never hurt him the way he hurt cotto. Thats because he started to use when he moved up in weight. Come on people open your eyes.

    the more drama the more hits. the more google searches… they are inventing new ways to promote fights… sad but true. Both camps are logged in watching the increasing numbers of searches for their names as all this drama is being created. Pay per click man! hahaha, they are making soooo much money and the fight isn’t even signed yet. It’s timing, peaks and valleys of interest, then they sign it and try to maintain interest. March is an early date don’t you think? they want you when it is hot. they are going to create TONS of reasons for us to tune in… this wont be the end. TOTAL TIMING SOAP OPERA, …as sands through the hour glass so are the days of our lives hahahha

  • abdul abubakar says:

    Changing tunes,washing hands like PP,etc. Not accusing of anything and then what is that?In your minds RS and to all of the readers it is the same thing,figure of speech,huh.Brace yourself for the big court battle and get the services of a good lawyer to defend all of you.Lets see if your lawyers can make you win.Remember RS;et,the burden of proof is in your side. Go get all your pieces of evidence,Manny has plenty of it and is available on record at NSAC.

  • ZFast says:

    Golden Boy – Hypocrites. Schaefer said “No way Jose” to drug testing Mosely in the past. But now OK with it?

    Mayweathers – No basis on accusations. No one asked him to take a drug test when he was succeeding through different weights. He would cry fowl because of his race instead of taking a drug test.

    Mayweather Fans – Proper drug testing right after fight will show any trace elements. Some people don’t take flu vaccines because they feel it will make them sicker than getting actual flu. Do we force them to take vaccines? John Madden doesn’t fly. Do we get on his case for not flying?

  • Matt says:

    Bob Arum backing down now the Mayweather’s have pointed out Paquaio’s blood test on HBO 24/7!

    Team Paquaio looking like a comedy outfit.

  • ZMAN says:

    both Manny and Floyd are just chuckling their heads off right now… All this drama is just hyping up everything! watch, now that more and more and more people are getting interested the fight is going to be bigger than anyone imagined. first the real fight fans are back, making this event an obviously huge gate. then the drama, people who might not have been so interested are now paying attention. the name calling, the disrespect, the accusations, they have to get everyone to look this way first before they announce the fight. Watch, Manny will take the tests. People will be curious, it is setting this up to be even bigger! I love it! hahahaha

  • Spictor says:

    Mayweather is using the gloves Manny wanted to use instead of the bigger gloves he wanted to use. its called making a sacrifice in order to make this fight happen. Manny is a straight up liar he said he was scared of needles. and than a video surfaced of him getting a needle and looking perfectly fine and than he said it cant be 30 days b4 the fight , when he took a physical 14 days before the hatton fightand had blood taken out ….. sooo whats next if he does finally agree to it hes going to say that the little bit of blood they took out was the difference in the fight when he gets knocked out. if i was miguel cotto id be very suspicious and angry that i lost my belt to a lying cheater … what people dont relize is if manny gets caught he loses more than his career (he’s also running for governement in his country) n if he got caught im sure he would lose alot of votes

  • PR bish says:

    u americans are full of sh*t. stop defending FMJ with his dodging skills.

  • michael dawson says:

    mayweather best in the business … its that simple.

  • blue dog says:

    mosley admited to have used drugs, and yet he is not demanded to take USADA tests prior or after his fights. manny is suspected to use them cause floyd said so? manny should set the record straight and take the f=(90/&g test

  • Ray says:

    Why can’t he take the test? He did with Hatton 14 days out…so you know Pacquiao is full of shit…what the fork is he hiding…

    Pacquiao can’t get up to 147 without taking something…thats my feeling on it…is this why he had to fight cotto at a catch weight

  • neukid says:

    The way I feel right now is that I was taken for a ride by Mayweather/GBP. They know from the start that this fight was not gonna happen and they were just looking for a way out for Floyd Jr. and they found one in blood testing. Floyd is not ready to lose his undefeated status yet not even for 50 million dollars.If this fight is dead already this would become the biggest hoax in boxing.

  • Manifest says:

    learn how to spell disgrace before you call someone a disgrace. At any rate, I think this blood testing sh** is b.s. I can understand Pacquiao not wanting to subject himself to more blood tests prior to the fight. He’s passed all of his prior tests that were commissioned by Nevada and so there’s no reason to believe he’s on any drugs other than heresay. When has Mayweather or De La Hoya ever had to give blood before a fight? In any other line of work this would be considered harassment. Whether or not there’s a 50/50 split, expect Pacquiao to get more from Mayweather during his defamation case. The very fact that some of the public believe Pacquiao is using drugs when there has been no evidence is a seed planted by the Mayweather family/camp and Golden Boy. Slander is no joke people. Pac can still make his guaranteed 20 million if fights Malignaggi(taking a bigger cut) and when you combine that with his winning from the lawsuit.

  • Matt says:

    Ben – Pacman either has something to hide, or he does not want the fight with mayweather.

    Well said, personally I think it’s a bit of both.

    Manny knows he can’t beat Floyd cleanly so if he can’t take products to help him then he would rather skip the fight.

  • Ray says:

    Tomer…

    Floyd never ducked shane mosley…i’m tired of hearing that bs…shane had two opportunities to fight floyd he backed out of both of them…2004 shane said he had a tooth ache…he had a chance to floyd in 2007 but Oscar took the fight because he said he wanted to go on vacation…now he wants a payday…thats why he was crying to fight Pacquiao…

  • Ben says:

    In closing Floyd Mayweather is one of the most decorated athletes boxing has ever seen and he is anxious to make this fight happen for all of the fans and sports enthusiasts that are asking for this fight to happen too.
    Are you kidding me??? What the most decorated athlete are you talking about? For having the biggest mouth, ducker and most boring?

  • sonnym says:

    history will judge mayweather as a coward who ducks mosley margarito cotto and pacquiao.he will end up in the streets of nevada ending up like bums on food stamps, he has nowhere to go when the IRS and his gambling debts will screw his ass.what a shame to the boxing world. shame on GBP too who are hypocrites.

  • Pacman says:

    I’m with Pacman here. I still believe , he has his own reason for not giving blood 48 hrs. before the fight. We should respect that.
    Mayweather should respect also and not too stubborn for asking it.

    He just want to duck Pacman for obvious reason , he cannot do the 147 lbs. weight.Its hard for him.

  • Joriz says:

    remember pacman was never tested positive with PED nor he was associated wtih anybody with questionable background relative to PED. Nevada commission feels adequate that urine testing is enough determine whether a figher is clean or not. EVen Sulaiman, WBC chairman, is vehemently in disgust with PDF’s ploy to bismirch manny’s good name and reputation. All these accusations started from a guy who has been convicted/spent sometime in jail for just that, drug trafficking and usage. Even Shaefer libelously rode along with these accusations according to Ronnie Nathanielz, a credible sports writer. He said Manny is using PED and a cheat. That came from his own mouth. Why will Manny give in to these demands? Manny does not need MOney. Pacman’s legacy is already sealed proven by the awards he’s been receiving left and right. it’s PBF who needs pacman really badly to settle his debt with IRS. with all these going, i dont mind manny passing this fight. i like to see him fight mosley instead. He won’t dodge him…

  • Matt says:

    Geovanni – THis is just an excuse for Mayweather to ssisy out of a fight and gain an advantage outside the ring in order to win.

    How is Mayweather getting an advantage out of this?

    Thepoint of it is to stop anyone having an unfair advantage.

  • Geovanni says:

    FIrst of all Mayweather sr accused Pacman of using illegal steroids something this article is clearly wrong about, second by taking blood from Pacman consistently this will definitely hinder his performance, I dont remember when the Dela HOya v Mayweather fight, mayweather wanting de la hoya take random blood test or for the marquez fight either. THis is just an excuse for Mayweather to ssisy out of a fight and gain an advantage outside the ring in order to win. hes a coward, he wont even face mosley!!!!

  • Matt says:

    Not only is Paquaio looking like a drug cheat but he’s also looking like a coward.

    Getting caught giving blood on HBO 24/7 14 days before the Hatton fight is just showing him up even more.

  • Gerry says:

    “Let it be very clear that nobody from Team Mayweather or Golden Boy Promotions is accusing Pacquiao of anything.” This is bonehead logic. Why would you ask for random testing if you do not suspect it. You are not accusing them but you are suspecting it. What is the difference Perception is reality. Now, a lot of people think that Pacquiao is taking steroids because he refuses testing. It’s like saying Iraq refuses UN inpectors therefore they must have weapons of mass destruction. Iraq was a ruthless regime and there was reasonable doubt to think that they have WMD. Pacquiao has never been tested positive of steroids and his so called weight gain through different divisions is not unique, even Floyd Mayweather gain in weight in similar fashion. There is no reasonable doubt to suspect that he is taking anything, yet if he refuses the test he must be guilty. He is already guilty because of the acusations and suspicions. Sue the Mayweathers. I agree with Pacquio, enough is enough. The damage is done there is no turning back.

  • Sam says:

    Just like Jason said. “Mayweather and Floyd Senior have blatantly accused Pacquiao of being on something.So already that statement is crap.”

  • ZMAN says:

    just take the tests! I know it is a mental thing for both. If many doesn’t have to take the test. Clean or not, Mayweather will believe Manny will have an edge. And Pacquiao will feel like mayweather is scared(Mental) If he does take the tests, Mayweather will be convinced he’s clean and may be weaker coming in to the fight giving Mayweather a mental edge in confidence. this will also open up for excuses as to why Manny may have felt weaker because he does not like to have blood drawn close to the fight. (mental) This Mega fight should be dubbed “HEAD GAMES” or “Mental Wars” just take the tests and may the best man win.

  • tomer says:

    mayweather is known to duck a lot of fighters (eg. sugar shane mosley). This is mayweathers way of ducking pacquiao.

  • Ray says:

    I think this is way out for both fighters now…i just don’t believe that random blood test is keeping this fight from happening…the fight won’t take place in March…maybe september.

  • Joeboy says:

    “MMA is for white boys cuz they can’t cut it in boxing.” -Mayweather

  • Pacman says:

    Its an excercise in futility, Pacman does’nt want more of Mayweather, he’s a coward and I lost any respect for him.Remember he is the bigger guy, He’s the best( according to him),Nobody will beat me, I have the skills.His father categorically said he can ko pacman with or without the steroids. What happened??????? he is a coward of the decade.

  • Ray says:

    Agree to the test already…why is this such a problem with pacman when he’s done it before…i don’t know what to think about pac now…

  • Jason Alcairo says:

    Jeff Mayweather and Floyd Senior have blatantly accused Pacquiao of being on something.So already that statement is crap.I’m really sick of the big contractual chicken game being played by both sides regardless.

  • Ben says:

    I am with mayweather / golden boy on this.

    Pacman either has something to hide, or he does not want the fight with mayweather. Or maybe he is just letting his ego get in the way, believing mayweather is dictating everything, a statement which is obviously untrue if mayweather already made several consessions with pacmans team to help make the fight happen on terms both fighters agree too.

    Pacman is a discrace to his nation and to his sport.
