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.
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.

Thanks, you know like I do that urine test can be tricked.
Keep it real – The Mayweather camp only asked for one thing! They gave Pacquiao everything he asked for.
Just keeping it real.
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!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
LOL, somebody is blocking my posts. Truth hurts?
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
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.
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.
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
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.
u r 100 percent gerry//.. sue the father and son..
Floyd say he s the best,he can knockedout mannynafter seeing Manny`s fights..then he is singing a little different now..doping haay
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!
supreme court is the best… The best moronic views ive read so far! ASS KISSER!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
@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
pacquiao- fighter of the decade
mayweather – fraud of the century
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.
“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.
“is not accusing Pacquiao of anything”
That right there discredited your whole article……..
autocad tutorial,
In light of what has been revealed so far tell me, what is Pacquiao’s latest reason for not taking the fight?
floyd should join ballet instead ,he look good in pick,we could cheer him dancing
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?
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.
Everybody, when you see Kyle’s post. Just pass it up. He has a pea brain. You’ll just lose 10 IQ points.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!!
JC HUBO, Its impossible for Mayweather to go down to 147 lbs. Thats the reason for this blood testing.
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
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
PACMAN is drug free… the HBO 24/7 edition just proved it. He took test 14 days before and found to be cleaned.
kyle, your an idiot!!!!!!
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?
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.
@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
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
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.
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.
lets play dodge ball son!!
KYLE U A MAYWEATHA C*NT!!
KYLE STOP POSTING IDIOT!!
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
u americans are full of sh*t. stop defending FMJ with his dodging skills.
mayweather best in the business … its that simple.
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
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.
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.
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…
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?
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.
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…
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.
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!!!!
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.
“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.
Just like Jason said. “Mayweather and Floyd Senior have blatantly accused Pacquiao of being on something.So already that statement is crap.”
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.
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.
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.
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…
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.
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.
