Mayweather warns of sterner tests for Pacquiao in the future

By Chris Williams: If you think that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is going to back down from his random blood testing when it comes to negotiating a fight with World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, think again. In an article from Mlive.com, Mayweather has this to say about the blood testing for a future bout with Pacquiao: “I gave him [Pacquiao] a chance, up to 14 days out. But my new terms are all the way up to the fight. They can come get us whenever, all the way up to the fight, random drug test. That’s what it is.”

Wow! That sounds like there’s never going to be a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao, because as reluctant as Pacquiao is to take blood tests, he will probably never agree to having his blood tested anywhere close to the fight. Mayweather is putting Pacquiao in a situation where he’ll likely reject Mayweather’s requests again like last time.

Mayweather wasn’t finished with his punitive measures for Pacquiao. Next, Mayweather said that the purse split will be different next time out with Pacquiao. Last time it was a 50-50 revenue split between Pacquiao and Mayweather. Who knows what it will be next time, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to be something that Pacquiao likes. Mayweather says “Instead of 20 or 25 (million dollars), he [Pacquiao] may have to drop to 15, or 17. And you know me, they may have to throw that extra five or 10 on mine, and we can rock and roll. Take it or leave it.”

If Mayweather’s upcoming May 1st fight with Shane Mosley does better than Pacquiao’s March 13th bout against Joshua Clottey in terms of pay-per-view, then Mayweather is going to be looking to get a bigger slice of the piece when he goes to negotiate with Pacquiao in the future. Thus far, the Mayweather-Mosley fight has crowded out the talk of Pacquiao-Clottey in the internet forums.

The reason is simple. Clottey is a good fighter, but nothing like Mosley. Clottey has only a handful of fights against top tier opponents during his career, whereas Mosley has been fighting top tier fighters for years and has won numerous titles during his long pro career. Most boxing fans and writers are expecting Pacquiao to destroy Clottey. The Mayweather vs. Mosley fight is expected to be competitive.

As for Pacquiao’s lawsuit for defamation, Mayweather says “He [Pacquiao] can file a lawsuit. I never came out on record and said that he was on nothing. All I’m saying is why don’t you want to take a $25 million drug test?”

    To Commonsense,

    I absolutely buy what you said that Floyd’s biggest fear is not Manny is on steroids but Manny is clean and he is that “extraordinary”, the description he made about Manny’s rise. It is interesting, that Floyd is who also getting up in age, maybe realizing his skills will start to deteriorate. Its natural, unless Floyd decides to take his training to another level where he can prolong his career. But I don’t think it will happen because of the amount distractions he is usually involved in. One day when both fighters have been retired for years, Manny will reflect on his legacy and just smile…thats it. While Floyd will most likely be broke and when asked about his legacy, I think he may finally realize that he screwed up his legacy because he will be constantly be reminded how he ducked and dodge the best fighter of his time. Floyd will have no one but himself to blame.

    TO ALL YOU PACQUIAO FANS WHO THINK HE AND FREDDIE ARE INCAPABLE OF USING STEROIDS

    Trainer Freddie Roach said, “The Ruiz fight, James was coming off an injury and we didn’t have enough time for it to completely heal. He wasn’t at one-hundred percent. The steroids didn’t seem to affect him at all, we didn’t even know it was still in his system for that fight. James was just himself in the Ruiz fight. His boxing ability won him the fight.

    NOW, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE’S NOT DOING THE SAME THING WITH PAC….LMAO

  • commonsense says:

    Iceman, you wrote that I “went from saying there was no difference to saying that there was a difference” which u say “totally contradicts” my previous statment. Well,not exactly. IF i were to say that there was no difference and then said that there was “all the difference in the world” then I would agree with you that I “totally contradicted” myself. But I “went from”, to use your language, saying there was NO difference to saying there was SOME difference. That is not a “total contradiction” that is a CLARIFICATION of my previous statement. I was explaining that I did not mean my “NO difference” statement to be taken literally. I CLARIFIED it by saying there was of course SOME differnce but I didn’t think it was a HUGE difference Now putting plaster in your hand wraps and taking the padding out of your gloves, THAT, for example, would make a HUGE difference. That kind of cheating can get someone literally killed or ruined for life. Margarito had plaster on his hand wraps and you saw Cotto’s face by the end of the fight. I can only imagine if Margarito had taken the padding out of his gloves too.

  • commonsense says:

    Bobby, you are right of course. Floyd’s father came out and said he was afraid for his son to fight Pac. Of course he justified that by saying that the Pac we are so in awe of is a fake. A phoney who is only that good because he is juicing. He wants his son to only fight a clean Pac and he is betting that a Pac who doesn’t have the advantage of all those roids in his system won’t be anything like the fighter he is so afraid for his son to fight. But what if he is wrong? What if Pac really is just that good, without any juice in his system. Well, in that case, Little Floyd better do something, anything to get out of facing Pac in the ring. He found his perfect out with this blood testing nonsense. The only difference between blood testing and every other kind of testing is that it is invasive and it will interfere with Pac’s training. Floyd is exploiting this. Either that or you actually believe that he all of a suddent decided to become the champion of drug testing coincidentally just when he had to face Pac in the ring. Never said peep at any of his 40 fights before that. Not one word. He is afraid to fight him in the ring so he fights him in the media. Coward. But he is talking to himself. Anonymous is right. He would LOVE to get Pac to join him in his war of words. But Pac has too much class. Mayweather is out there all by himself, still talking about the Pac fight. A little pathetic don’t you think? “I am going to demand 90% of the purse. I am going to demand blood testing after every round in the fight just to make sure Freddie Roach didn’t give him some juice in between rounds” All roads lead to floyd Mayweather. Pac is nothing. If he wants to fight me now, he will have to get down on his knees and beg. Blah blah blah blah blah. Nobody is listening to you anymore Floyd. Most people have moved on already. You should too. Either fight the guy in the ring like a man or shut the F up.

  • JesusJones says:

    Good stuff Bobby!

    I was going to respond to Iceman and say that he has misunderstood your statement. He might have been speed reading or maybe it might have hit a chord since it always going to be taboo when stuff like that is mentioned.

    Again Bobby, you are right about Floyd Jr’s position. Just to prove that’s he’s right, he will continue to fan the flames like if Manny Pacquiao’s life has no meaning. A form of reverse what ever you want to call it. He gives him no value so only to feed and shine the light to himself. he does not care if it hurts anybody as long as it serves him.

    I for myslef am glad that he’s only a boxer. Because if he was a leader of country, you can forget about it, LOL!

  • commonsense says:

    Preston I may be a lot of things but fanatical or illogical are not one of them. You were the one who took my comment and transposed that from PEDs to plaster in your handwraps and then went on to elaborate on that example that I never said. I was talking about PEDs and yes I did take you literally when you used the handwraps example. Because you DID compare one as being the same as the other. I don’t know of any other way it could have been taken. No reason to use middle school insults. I am hardly “fanatical” about any fighter including Pac. I just think that Mayweather is a con man, and a coward and this whole drug blood testing issue is such a joke. Not to denegrate in any way the idea of drug testing in boxing. OF course all fighters should be clean. Absolutely. Just that after 40 fights without mentioning a word, all of a sudden Mayweather wakes up one morning and decides to become the new champion for cleaning up drugs in boxing??? And it just so happens to come along just as he is going to fight Pac? I guess it is just a cooincidence (sarcasm intended) but it just seemed a little strange timing, don’t you think? In any event I agree with your point that cheating is wrong in any form, whether it be with handwraps, glove padding, PEDs, hgh, steroids, gamma rays (increible hulk) or whatever. If you disagree with me, fine. I have no problem with that. Let’s just keep it civil and somewhat intelligent. Insulting someone or throwing a bunch of “lol’s” really doesn’t get anyone anywhere. ok?

  • commonsense says:

    Iceman, no hard feelings here either. If you go back and reread what I said, I wrote that “it makes no difference” and then later clarified that more by saying, that the difference was “minimal”. You know, after I wrote that comment I thought to myself that people are going to hammer me for those comments and I was going to write a follow up to explain not to take that literally. Of course roids matter. I just don’t think it matters to the point wheer Floyd shoudl be afraid for his health in the ring. I keep going back to my DLH and Vargas example. I think that if Floyd was as good as he claims then it would be a mismatch either way and roids would’t make a difference. Now if Pac had no padding in his gloves and plaster in his handwraps, yeah, then Floyd SHOULD be afraid. He should be VERY afraid because he could get KILLED under those conditions.

    I think the Hatton example is a good one though. Floyd is only afraid to fight Pac if he were on roids because theat could spell the difference between winning or losing. But if he were facing either of the Hatton brothers roids would probably make them better but still they would have no chance of winning. too much of a mismatch. After Corrales, Floyd has this habit of picking easy fights where he can look good. He knows he is in for a real fight with Pac and he is afraid of what might happen. I don’t know how he could live with himself if Pac knocked him out, beat him up and embarrassed him and exposed him in front of 3 million viewers. Now there is a post fight interview I would pay to see.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Iceman,

    You fail to understand what I’m trying to say, yes there is a message. I”m not saying Manny is black guy…far from because in the end the black guy was killed. It is not the same situation. But the message of this whole matter which are facts, Floyd is black and he should understand in US black history many blacks were killed for innuedos and false accusations. Thats why many blacks still feel there are still underlying racism and hatreds towards them. They haven’t forgetten. Many of them were killed because of fear and paranoia towards the blacks. The same paranoia and fear that sent many Japanese Americans to interment camps. When people act on fear and paranoia like Floyd, they will do stupid things even unspeakable things. Maybe the whole bottomline is just my reaction to all this BS with Manny and Floyd because I absolutely support Manny and the US belief of innocent until proven guilty. It is so alarming when people quickly make a conclusion that Manny is hiding or guilty of taking PEDs because he refuses to submit to Floyd’s hypocritical drug testing. I am absolutely sure Floyd is a fake and this drug testing is from his fear and paranoia that Manny may be that good and the blood testing is a way for him to disrupt his training. And In my gut feeling, this blood testing thing, is a set up. Floyd and Golden Boy’s association with USADA and Tygart are in cahoots. I don’t trust them, and my reason is justifiable.

  • iceman says:

    commonsense,

    im trying to understand what you are saying and i think i’ve kinda worked it out.

    if matthew hatton took roids to get to floyds level then floyd shouldnt turn down 25 mill etc…

    i just dont think those kinda rationales are plausible, fullstop.

    however you go from saying “there is no difference” to “there is a difference” etc… which totally contradicts your previous comments.

    commonsense, look below at some of the comments that come up from people like this bobby bagoong etc… at some points in his blogs he sounds all there then he compares mannys situation to the “blacks” in to kill a mockingbird, (im picking mannys the mockingbird,lol).

    its all BS mate and i just get sick of the s**t thats why i dont blog as much anymore.

    theres not as much intelligent conversation anymore just lies and half truths etc… if i dont no something im not gonna pretend i do, or if im wrong and someone sets me straight then i apoligise etc…

    no hard feelings man.

    peace

  • preston says:

    Commonsense- wow, the ONLY point that I was making was, if you knew someone was doing something or ANYTHING illegal in boxing to gain an advantage, then you most certainly would do something about it, and it would be a big deal. I was in NO way saying literally that Margarito hand wraps were the same as a boxer ingesting Peds. But I knew someone would take a figurative comparison and turn it into a literal one…………..and……lololo, of all people, it was someone who goes by the name of “commonsense”. Let, me say this for you so that you wont go thru the trouble of asserting something that I didnt, and then proceed to build an argument around it. I am only saying that it is NOT ok to say “so what” to ANY degree of trying to illegal cheat in boxing……no matter how small or great……from issues regarding weight….to taking Peds…..to having your hands illegally wrapped. I am not saying that one literally equates to the other……….got it……”dude”???? But what I have to say is that I have much respect for those, whom I clearly disagree with on over Pac’s stance, that had the balls to correct you on your foolishness, because being a fan of boxing doesnt mean that you have to be fanactical and illogical with your praise or adoration of the guy that you root for.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Amonymous,

    It is a vendetta, a vendetta stemming from Manny’s accomplishments, that is what I am alluding too, it is exactly what you said. Its so pathetic. I remember an interview where the interviewer said Manny’s resume in boxing is much more impressive than Floyds, Floyd wil bring up that Manny got knocked out 2 times and himself being undefeated. But the interviewer would counter, Manny was only a teen when he lost. It doesn’t matter now, he pointed out great fighters have been knocked out. Having a zero doesn’t make him any more special because Floyd hadn’t put himself into great wars. We all know great boxing wars are the foundation of great boxing lore where it will be talked about for years. It also is the foundation of a great legacy. Floyd doesn’t see it this way. He think money is his lecgacy. Floyd doesn’t give back to boxing fans…a lot lip service. If Floyd was for boxing, he wouldn’t let paranoia and fear dictate the fight with Manny. It is not about blood testing but his fear and paranoia. Greed is also the source of his drive for boxing. “you know I only do it for the money, if it ain’t for money…I’m aint down with it.”-Floyd Mayweather Jr

    Which goes to a saying….
    “The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.”- Albert Einstein

  • MrFlint says:

    Anonymous,At last some incisive sense.Well said…

  • LloydYdeana says:

    @commonsense, wow such a long comment. It all boils down though to advocating for a stringent drug tests in cleansing the sport. I agree. No problem. But to be straight-forward, the best way to do this, either you doubt your opponent or it’s your own personal advocacy, is to present your sentiments to the governing body that oversee the sport. That’s how the system works. It’s that simple – It’s the rule of law.

  • Anonymous says:

    Bobby, Floyd is not on a vendetta with Pac. He is obsessed with Pac. He cannot stand Pac’s popularity. He thinks that he is the only one who should on the top of the boxing world and he cannot stand that Pac won fighter of the decade and has the following he does. He is too afraid of losing his 0 or being beat up by Pac so he cannot settle this matter the way he should settle it, in the ring, so he continually tries and tries and tries to smear Pac in the media. It is a little pathetic really….and funny. Floyd is like a child throwing a tantrum because some other kid on the playground took away his toy. Whereas Pac is cool as a cucumber focusing on the Clottey fight as he should. Must be the roids.

  • commonsense says:

    @iceman, but I still do believe, that while it is a little pathetic for ANY human being to put any of this illegal crap into his body, if Matthew Hatton put a clause in his contract that he will fight Floyd but he wanted to be allowed to use steroids, hgh or peds, and if Floyd were offered $25M to fight him under those unusual conditions, that there is no way Floyd does not take that fight. Well right now he has backed himself into a corner with this “crusade” he claims to e on to clean up boxing, so on those moral grounds he might have to refuse to fight under those conditions lest he be exposed as a phony, but from a purely logical viewpoint, no way he does not WANT to take that fight. The difference is that Matthew Hatton or even JMM would have no chance against Mayweather roids or no roids. And YOU are the one who is delusional if you think otherwise. In Pac’s case it WOULD make a difference because they are very close in ability anyway and if Pac were only that good because he is cheating, then the roids he is taking would be the difference between winning and losing in the Mayweather fight, whereas with Hatton or JMM, I don’t think it would even come close to changing the fight’s outcome.

    I don’t personally think Pac has anything illegal in his system at all and I am not going to get into that whole debate on why or why not. I would be pretty surprised if he were but I surely would not be a supporter. He would be pathetic in that case. But whether he is taking them or not, he is still the same fighter, same amazing endurance, same non stop attack. The only thing that changes is the WHY he is so good. Either he is good because of the drugs, which would make everything about him a FAKE or he is good because he is truly a once in a lifetime phenom. But whether he is a pathetic fake who deserves not one ounce of credit, whose entire career is a joke, who should not be allowed a boxing license anymore or he is real, he is the same fighter. If Mayweather is afraid to fight him if he is juicing, it is apparent that he is afraid to fight him if he is not juicing. Because the fighter he faces in the ring that night will be the same fighter that his father was so afraid for his son to fight. The Mayweathers are hoping that they are right, that he was juicing and that by forcing him to clean the peds out of his system, the fighter lil Floyd will face in the ring will be a shell of himself since he won’t have that huge advantage he had in all his previous fights when he was all juiced up. But WHAT IF he is not juicing and is totally clean and he is just that good because of hard work, dedication and incredible talent and Freddie Roach and the rest of his team, then in that case, Mayweather would be facing the same Pac that Sr. already admitted he was afraid for his son to fight. The only difference being that Sr. was wrong about Pac being dirty and that he really was just that good. So it makes sense in that case that Mayweather woudl be desperate to find an excuse not to fight this naturally gifted incredible superhuman fighter. Knowing Mayweather’s incredible ego, he could never accept being beat up or embarrassed by Pac in front of the whole world. It would kill him. He would want Pac to take a DNA test to prove he is not an alien. Since Floyd KNOWS that Pac is most likely clean and that he will be facing that same whirlwind in the ring if they ever fought, he will do anything and everything he can to avoid this fight like the plague. They will NEVER fight. Unfortunately, it is Floyd’s only option.

  • roys says:

    what floyd dont understand is this is from the american blood center site
    How often can I give?

    Donate whole blood every 56 days. Red blood cells are the oxygen carrying cells. They can take two weeks or longer to fully return to normal.

    Donate platelets (apheresis donation) as much as twice in one week – or up to 24 times per year. Platelet and plasma components are replaced in the body more quickly than red cells. Platelets will return to normal levels within a few hours of donating. Plasma, the watery substance of your blood, takes a couple of days.
    How much blood do I have in my body?

    Women have about 10 pints, and men about 12 pints of blood in their bodies.
    that right you have 1 gal 4 cup of blood, 5 or 6 test should be 1 or 2 cups of blood,that will not recover in 2 weeks ,floyd rather get pounded in your head 200 times with less blood than fight a maybe guy who might be on steroids,.
    if you think blood dont make a diffrence ,try this but make sure you have a guy behind to catch you.or dont, as you will guarantee pass out cold.dont remember sh…t and hit your head hard.knell down and take 10 deep breath.whole your breath and stand up. you have stop circulation and you have less blood in your brain ,so you pass out cold,dont try it ,one guy had a huge bump as no one caught him

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    You know, Floyd’s increased demands has made clear that he has a vendetta against Manny and he really has another motive. If he say he is driven only to clean up boxing, then why change the original demand? Now he is in a crusade to not only discredit Manny but to make Manny think Floyd runs the show. His ego is way out of control. If the Floyd fans continue to support this ego maniac, I’m even more surprised how they buy into this hypocrite. All credit to Manny, he doesn’t say a thing. He goes on his own way and continues to train for Clottey. While Floyd who should be focusing on promoting his fight with Mosley, is still out to damage Manny’s image. And its failing miserably.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To JesusJOnes,

    You know it wasn’t really long ago when blacks were lynched for being accused of something they didn’t do. I remember the book “To Kill a Mockingbird”. Its about a lawyer who took on a community that was about to condemn a black man of raping a white woman. The black man ended getting lynched by the mob, while the woman revealed that she had made it up. This story has actually happened in the old south. A woman would accuse an innocent black man of rape and then next thing you know, the man is lynched and hanged. No trial…just an angry mob. Floyd… a black man….should really study black history more thoroughly on the dangers of accusing a person with no proof. There are so many unrecorded injustice toward black men in the old south when the Jim Crow laws were still in effect. Money has changed Floyd for the worse. Long ago, he wasn’t an ego maniac boxer who continually self glorified himself. He wasn’t rich, he was hungry to be successful but once he tasted his first million, he became a different person. This is the evil of greed. It breeds selfishness, compromises good virtues, and places monetary values above everything else. I don’t think he has sat back and realize what kind of a person he has become. A person driven by greed and motivated by money, will do unspeakable things…nothing good ever comes out.

  • carlos g says:

    Bobby, what would be even better if Mosley knocks him out and in the post fight interview Floyd says that he lost because he had to give blood in the dressing room and the nurse taking his blood missed the vein a few times and his arm was sore.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    You know it would so poignant when Floyd takes a blood test for the fight with Mosley and the test suddenly shows he’s HIV positive and tested positive for illegal supplements.

  • commonsense says:

    Iceman, one more thing because I happen to agree with most of your comments and we should not be arguing with each other. ok ok, maybe I could have rephrased a few of those previous comments to be more clear. But here is my point and I am going to actually say something in favor of Mayweather here just to show you I really am trying to see both sides. If two fighters were facing each other of equal weight, no matter how they go to that weight, and one fighter was juicing and one fighter was clean, the fighter with the juice would have an advantage over the fighter who wasn’t. When I wrote “what difference does it make?”, I didn’t mean that literally. Of course it makes a difference. I just don’t think it makes THAT much of a difference. (DLH Vargas). If two fighters are evenly matched, peds could make the difference between victory and defeat. If I were Mayweather, THAT is something he has every right to be concerned about. Whether he ducked or not, he worked long and hard for that “0″ and he should not lose it to a cheater. But if that is the case, then at least be a man and say that you are concerned about losing to Pac because you are both evenly matched and if he is juicing, that might give him enough an edge to win and that would be very unfair. ok, fair enough. I could support Mayweather on that position. But no, that is not what he is saying. He is going on and on about what a mismatch it will be and how it will be such an easy payday for him. Well in THAT case, if he is truly THAT much better as he claims, then so what if Pac is taking roids. It shouldn’t make a difference. And yes,Iceman, I am not forgetting that if Pac IS taking roids, he still should not be allowed in the ring with anyone regardless of how it affects his chances of winning or losing. There is no room in boxing for cheaters. But Mayweather should either stop saying the fight will be such a mismatch while at the same time he walks away from an easy $25M because he is concerned about the roids bcause it makes no common sense. (DLH / Vargas) Besides if Pac were on somethign it would show in the after the fight drug test and he would be publically disgraced for the rest of his life and all the money in the world could not buy him redemption.

  • lapu lapu says:

    Man, this site is becoming like an internet telethon…
    24/7 non-stop…well…let me jump in again…

    There is really nothing to talk about here…Floyd
    basically is saying “I wont fight Pacquaio, now or in the
    future..”….PACMAN is not taking any PEDS, HGH,or anything
    and early in January 2010 NSAC they took blood sample from him
    and he tested negative. He agreed to multiple blood test and
    even immediately after the fight. So he did take a blood test and agreed to give blood again…so why all the fuss ???

    You Floyd Fans are DILLUSIONAL…YOUR MAN IS PLAIN SCARED OF PACMAN ! and so is the Sr. Theres NO defending him, HE
    ALREADY MADE UP HIS MIND….AND THERES HUNDREDS of Proof that
    he is chicken…it can go and on and on…and NO MATTER HOW U
    TWIST OR SPIN IT, whatever….you cant change the fact

  • simon says:

    @Jesus Jones, finally an appropriate response to that idiot Graham.

  • MP says:

    sounds like another excuse for mayweather… and he hasn’t even gotten past mosely… stop talking about the ball is in pac’s court.. pac is the champ and he doesnt have to fight fagweather.. if someone should be making demands it should be pac.. get off your high horse idiot!

  • commonsense says:

    One more comment before I turn in. You know the ONLY problem with this entire drug testing issue is the blood testing part of it. No one has any problem with urine, saliva or hair follicle testing. Mayweather can ask Pac to take all those tests he wants random, unlimited, no cut off date. No problem. The difference with blood testing is it is invasive. Now, since this is SOOOO important, if there is a urine test or saliva or hair follicle that does what a blood test does and even more accurately, THAT WOULD MAKE THIS ENTIRE BLOOD TESTING ISSUE OBSOLETE. Mayweather only wants Pac to do the blood testing random and unlimited because he knows how much he doesn’t like it and it means nothing to him. I am no expert but I understand that there ARE such other non invasive tests that do what blood testing does and even better. If that is true,Mayweather will have to find a new excuse not to face Pac in the ring.

  • Nate says:

    I just read an article about some reporters who filed a case recommending NSAC to open the pass documents of fighters to the public, the history of all the fighters in drug testing. They said it is the right of the public to know the history of the athlete’s drug records as a ” Public Records”. You know what? There was a time for that appeal before during the De la Joya vs Vargas but De la Joya signed a waiver for that not to open. Is Oscar afraid that they might find the truth? Or he is hiding something before? We all know that Pacquiao never failed a drug test in his 10 years in boxing. How about Oscar? Why did he signed the waiver? And for your information these are the athletes who were caught before by NSAC…… Vargas ( steroids ), Mosley ( Cream/ the type of steroids ), Julio Ceasar Chaves Jr. ( steroid for losing weight ), Oscar De la Joya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. ( Xylocene a drug for numbing your hands. This will give the fighter advantage because he cannot feel a thing while punching, numbing your hands will make the fighter throw volumes of punches). Xylocene is also banned in other states.

  • commonsense says:

    Iceman, maybe I wasn’t exactly clear in my comments. And by the way, I like Pac and I am a fan but not a blind fan. If Pac were on roids I would be the first one to say he should not show his face in public again and he should even give back all the money he made. If Pac were on roids HE WOULD BE A FRAUD!! NO QUESTIONS THERE. As to my education I have a doctorate degree, but that is really irrelevant. I am just putting in my two cents here. Nothing more. So to rephrase, I AGREE WITH YOU. If Pac were on roids HE WOULD BE A CHEATER. Yes roids give you an edge. Yes if two fighters weighed the same, the one on roids would have an advantage (although actually that is subject to debate because some feel that the roids, while making you bigger and stronger, would make you slower too). The point I was trying to make is that it does not turn you into superman. It does not make you invincible. If so Vargas wouldn’t have been knocked out by DLH. And I disagree that it makes you scary dangerous. Maybe I am wrong here and if you think so, feel free to tell me why, but my understanding is that it gives you an edge, probably not as much of an “edge” that those two extra pounds gave Mayweather when he fought Marquez. I think that if Mayweather truly feels he is THAT much better than Pac that it would be such a mismatch, then roids shouldn’t be a reason to walkaway from $25M. That being said I fully agree that roids have no place in any sport, especially boxing and that if Pac were actually taking them, he should be banned from the sport and he should return all the money he made.

    When I posed the hypothetical of Pac fighitng Vitali Klitchko I did not mean to say that I condoned the use of illegal peds in any case. (But illegality aside, wouldn’t you love to see Pac fighting Klitchko if he coudl get to be 250 lbs of muscle? ) ok ok, yeah yeah I know, the super steroids would make it wrong and all that but I am just fanasizing here).

    IF PAC WERE TAKING STEROIDS IT WOULD BE INEXCUSABLE. I am just saying that it shouldn’t make Mayweather so afraid of him that he walks away from $25M. His skin is not green and he is not the incredible hulk. And yes, from a moral standpoint, he should not be allowed to fight if he is on them and he should be stoned and have beer cans thrown at him everytime he was spotted in public. I just think that if May were THAT much better than Pac, that it would not make a difference. Now if Pac had plaster in his handwraps and removed the padding from his gloves, entirely different story. In THAT case, I would not fight Pac if I were Mayweather. I woudl not even fight Pac if I were Klitchko in that case. B I G difference. So are we on the same page now?

    bobby bagoong,

    i generally agree with what you’ve said BUT my opinion would change if pacman gets past clottey and the winner of floyd and shane ask pac for random tests and again he denys it. then that would change my opinion.

    you say that he should be classed as “innocent until proven guilty” and i agree with that whole heartedly but how can he be proven guilty when he refuses the tests?

    it would be like a guy thats accussed of a crime not willing to give a finger print!

    my support goes to pacman BUT im not that one eyed that it rules over logic thats all.

    If Floyd really wants more blood testing he may want to start with those skanky a$$ strippers he’s always got crawling all over him.

    ”how does it feel to be treated like a crook when you’re not.”
    By Bobby Bagoong

    Growing up a minority in the 80′s during my teenage years in Los Angeles was like as you said. The Black, Latinos and Asian communities can relate.

    This is why I say that there’s a bigger picture specially to those young ones. We all have responsibilities to our neighbors and communities.

    It’s just not right for Manny Pacquiao to be singled out. then twist things around and create a paranoia around him. It’s a form of discrimination. People have to be careful when they say things about others.

    You can innocently tell a friend and say your girlfriend have been cheating on you and theres no truth to it. then the guys looks and finds his girlfriend and beats her up. Or it can even be bad and he takes it beyond. What is that guy going to say now. I was just joking when I said that to him.

    Just be responsible.

    To Commonsense,

    People who take gear (steroids) will have an advantage due to gain more lean muscle mass. You can have two athletes who are both the same height and weight but one can stronger than the other. The other person who takes gear may have more lean muscle mass compared to the other who is natural. Competitively, there would be an advantage to the user because technically they may be stronger than the other. For example we see an Olympic sprinter who the same height and weight as his other competitors, because he is on gear, he may be a lot faster. It may create an edge. However saying that, taking gear doesn’t necessarily mean you will be able to do super human feats. It doesn’t necessarily make you a better boxer, baseball player, football player…etc…you must have a natural gift to the sport. We’ve seen some baseball players who can’t hit worth a lick but are on gear. But the bottomline, we don’t need PED in our sports because it does create an uneven playing field. We must play our sport with our natural abilities. But….should we legalize gear on our sports? TBH…yes. But we must realize there are consequences. If monitored and regulated properly, it will help our athletes perform better and continue to perform at their highest level. Saying that, it will never happen because of one important thing, if there is one person who doesn’t wish to take PED’s, then it can never happen. It must be all across the board.

    Saying all that, I honestly believe without a doubt, Manny is clean and innocent. I still believe innocent until proven guilty….no tweener.. or what ifs. It can not be compromised. If there is a shred of evidence, proof, or proven link, then we can assume some doubt. But still, we still must assume they are innocent. Doubt is not proof…all it is a hunch…or gut feeling. All of the Floyd fans who say “I’m not saying he’s taking roids…but take the test to disprove it.” They what we call, “talking on both side of their mouth.” They don’t want to admit that they believe Manny is taking PED’s because if we asked them to show any proof or evidence, guess what? There isn’t any. But to their own defense and justification, they will say “if he is not taking the test…he must be hiding something.” It is a round about of saying that “they suspect”. Fortunately in our court system, “suspect” doesn’t equate as proof. What is alarming though, are the people who were simply swayed into thinking without proof or the lack of action or compliance equates to guilty or hiding something. It really shows how people can be easily manipulated. Also it reveals how certain people are very cynical. One thing for sure, if it happens to them…we can simply smile and say to ourselves…”how does it feel to be treated like a crook when you’re not.”

  • iceman says:

    commonsense,

    just to finish. if you truely believe what you are saying then it tells me one or two of two things.

    1 you are so far into pacquiao that you cant rationalise.

    2 you arent educated

    take your pick

  • iceman says:

    commonsense,

    pal you are completly deluisonal! and im a pacquiao supporter!

    dude, if pacquiao needs steriods to make welterweight then the guy is a CHEAT! FULLSTOP!

    it doesnt matter that he is smaller than floyd!

    if floyd is at 147 clean and pacquiao is 147 on roids, then thats unfair and cheating! that you try to rationalise that is seriously worrying mate!

    let me tell you again if your not getting it. IT IS A BIG DEAL IF PACQUIAO IS ON ROIDS!

    your comparision with klitchko is pathetic and im looking back and forwards at what you’ve written thinking, “my god boy you need help!”.

    you say “whether he is that way legally or illegally, it really makes no difference”?????????????????????????

    pal, come on, really this is painful.

    the only thing i agree with you about is your comparision to cheating with “plaster” being more dangerous, BUT…. your statements are so far wrong one really doesnt no where to start!!

    commonsense, start using some!

  • commonsense says:

    @BigLo, I am repeating what I said because maybe someone can explain to me what I am missing. WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT THIS ROIDS ISSUE ANYWAY. SO WHAT IF PAC IS TAKING ROIDS. If he is guilty, and full to the brim on steroids, it only means that he is a natural bantamweight who has gained 20 pounds of muscle because of the roids. That would only be an unfair advantage IF HE WERE FACING ANOTHER BANTAMWEIGHT who was not taking roids. Pac would be at 147 and his opponent would be at 126. Very unfair obviously and very dangerous for his 126 pount bantamweight opponent. But if he is facing someone his own size, or even bigger, such as Mayweather, what is the big deal? Do you think that Vitali Klitchko would be afraid of facing Pac if Pac came out and said he would fight him but he wanted to be allowed to take as much steroids as he pleased? Stupid question, right? My point is that whether he is as big and strong as a natural welterweight because of roids or he is that big and strong because of his nutrituionalist and trainer and hard work and dedication with nothing illegal, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE. He is what he is, and whether he is that way legally or illegally it REALLY MAKES NOT DIFEERENCE, just as long as he is facing someone his own size or bigger, it negates any advantage or, at least minimizes it, from steroids or hgh. WHAT THE f IS FLOYD SO AFRAID OF??? Do you think if JMM wanted to be allowed to take roids in a rematch as a handicap to make it interesting since the first fight was so one sided, and if Mayweather was offered $25M for that fight, do ya think he would walk away from that $25M? Wake up people.

  • JesusJones says:

    There is something definitely brewing with GBP. Mosley is their guy, Mayweather is a partner in crime. Pimps and ho like what Imus would say. What is the puzzle here? I guess we’ll see after the fight on May 1st. I’m a fan of ODLH as a fighter. Business wise, well this is boxing, lots of shady $hit going on. Worst than the ‘clear’ stuff everyone’s crying about, lol! You know it’s a written script when it comes to these guys. Now just trying to figure out the plot.

  • commonsense says:

    @Preston, “Dude”, let me get this straight. You are actually equating PLASTER IN YOUR HANDWRAPS TO PEDS????? Are you kidding me? Do you even think about what you are writing before you write it to see how it sounds. Don’t you think that PLASTER IN YOUR HANDWRAPS is just a tad bit DIFFERENT than taking Peds???? I stand behind what I wrote. SO WHAT IF PAC WAS TAKING PEDS OR HGH OR STEROIDS. Getting hit by someone with plaster in their gloves can KILL YOU. Getting hit by someone on steroids is really not that big of a deal. Just ask ODLH he KNOCKED OUT Vargas when Vargas was on steroids. Now if Vargas has fought DLH with no steroids, but instead had PLASTER IN HIS GLOVES, do ya think the result would have been just a tad bit different? Look at it this way. Steroids are supposed to make you bigger and stronger,right? But “bigger and stronger” is relative. Bigger and stronger than WHAT?? If, accoding to mayweather, Pac is only that big and strong because he is all pumped up by roids, and if he cleaned all the dope out of his system he would shrink back to being a 126 pounder, would that be your version of a more fair fight? For Pac to come into this welterweight fight weighing 126? Let’s give you the benefit of the doubt and say Pac is all doped up on roids, ok? Well if he is naturally 126 and because of the roids he gained 21 pounds of muscle, this would be a huge advantage and very dangerous for his opponent to face in the ring, IF HIS OPPONENT WERE ANOTHER 126 POUNDER! But he is facing bigger and stronger guys, right? So if there were some super steroid that allowed you to double your weight and gain a foot in height and Pac took these super steroids and became 6’6″ tall and weighed 250 lbs, I don’t see any problem with that and I don’t see any danger to his opponents, AS LONG AS HIS OPPONENT WAS VITALI KLITCHKO. Do you see my point…..dude? If all Mayweather is doing is fighting a junior bantamweight who is only a welterweight because he is all blown up on roids SO WHAT????? He is facing someone who is naturally that big so what is Floyd so afraid of that he is walkingaway from $25M? It is V E R Y different than facing someone who has plaster in his handwraps. Get it now?

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To JesusJones,

    Its hard to prove anything to cynics. Most of these Floyd fans are cynics, they live in a different world where if don’t take action, it means your are either hiding something or guilty. You can’t win this fight. They have different standards, until they are put in that same predicament. Then that’s when they will start to cry foul or unfair. They keep repeating the same why not take the test. And again we have to repeat, Manny agreed to the test, just not within the 14 days prior to the fight. One thing I am pretty sure of, Golden Boy and Floyd knows they are doing something unprecedented and know Manny is clean but they will do everything they can to get the edge. Which is dirty. Some of the things Golden Boy did especially DLH were underhanded and despicable. Manny has always respected and treated DLH as a gentleman. Never uttered a single bad thing, even now with all these innuendos and accusations. What does DLH do? Accuse and make innuendos that Manny is using PEDs. He is also part of the team to smear Manny’s image. He sold his soul for money. I thought DLH was a gentleman long ago, those accusation of him being a sell out was unfounded. I didn’t know it was actually true. There is a silver lining to all this, people overwhelmingly support Manny and they believe he is not taking PED’s. It is a very very very small group that feel otherwise. Hey even great people in history always have adversaries.

  • JesusJones says:

    @ Preston

    It was a damn if you or damn if you don’t situation.

    I can say Shaq Oneil has a bit of chip on his shoulders like Floyd Jr.. He makes mistakes like everyone else does. When you’re a high profile star or athletes, man believe me, Pu$$y lands on your shoulders all day long, LOL!!!!

    Does this stop him every year from doing what he loves best every Christmas. Play Santa going around town with a few trucks loaded of toys giving it to kids who might not able to afford the toys he’s giving.

    So now are we to wonder that Shaq dominated cause now maybe he took some steroids. lol!

    Man, one issue at a time one answer at a time.

    Oh as far as pu$$y falling on your shoulders being a celebrity. Just imagine Pacquiao as a mega star in the Philipines. Aint falling on his shoulder. He pinned down by it, LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

  • preston says:

    jesusjones- I understand what you are saying and believe me I respect your opinion……..and lollol….I also have been terminated before myself, and I have to fill out some paperwork about my previous employment……..I was wondering should I act innocent and just say no like I have never been terminated. But I didnt want to hide something that could be easily verified…….but from what you are telling me, I think I just better act innocent, and not sabotage my chances…..lolol……..and I am actually not joking about this one.

  • preston says:

    jesusjones- lol…ok, you are right about the video being a filapino version of EXTRA…..ok so you made me laugh a little bit on that one, but say what you will, the video speaks for itself……..Pacs wife didnt want much to do with him at that mass, and she was visibly upset with him, over whatever was going on between the two of them…….it just shows you that the guy has his own issues just like everybody else…and he has his shortcommings………doesnt mean or make him a ped user….lol…..just shows his frailties

  • JesusJones says:

    @ Preston

    I just finished reading your other post. No we don’t live in a perfect society. Most or even everything that you speak of have happened to me. So for you to sat such thing is just to make an argument. Now your just making a salad out of this whole thing.

    Worked at a cafe as a cashier. Many time customers would just leave the pennies and small change that I would put aside. When I would turn in my cash box I would always tell the manager that it might be over some money and sometime more than a dollar. Somehow a suspicion grew or somebody had planted a doubt and I was release from work under those suspicion. Later my cousin tried getting me a job at a Beverly Hills hotel. He was the manager, basically got the job in a bag. In one of the form it asked a question that if you were terminated from a job write details about it. I did. Later my cousin called and asked me if I was trying to sabotage my chances of employment. The job was in a bag until I wrote what I wrote.

    Preston, I understand your argument. What I’m saying is that that if this was a menu I’d get the number one with a soda. You trying to order the whole menu which wont even fit on all the tables around you.

  • JesusJones says:

    @ Preston

    So why single out Pacquiao? And when it came off wrong, Floyd is now looking to reform all of sports to save face and make it look like it’s not about Pacquiao.

    So Preston, just now? not when Mosley admitted back then. Why not backj then? Is it becuase now he faces manny.

    Come dude, be reasonable so we can continue.

  • JesusJones says:

    @ Preston

    LOL! I actually watch the link you posted. That was comedy, lol! that’s like the Filipino version of EXTRA on NBC. If there are any truth to what they are reporting it’s nothing new in the wonderful world of stardom. It is what it is. Michael Jordan, Shaq, Kobe. You name it.

    So if I’m reading what you are saying, if he’s lying to his wife he could be lying about everything else?

  • preston says:

    lolol…..jesusjones….uhmmmm Floyd’s statements concerning his issue over Pac’s POSSIBLE Ped usage hasnt been conclusively determined one way or another……again, has Pac ever tested positive for Peds or anything illegal……NO. Have there been others in the sport that have never tested positive, but were infact users of peds……YES. Does that make Pac guilty……NO. Does that give Floyd a credible reason to ask for the test…..YES. And why was JMM prepared to ask Pac for the same blood test had he been offered a third fight with Pac?????????????

  • preston says:

    and dude I dont know what type of society that you live in, but people get accused of doing things that they dont everyday…….how many cases have you heard of where someone innocent has been in jail for years, only to be released thru concrete and irrefutable evidence???? Dont start trying to act like we live in this perfect world……..because we dont. And please stop with this nonsense of “only” Mayweather and Pac’s haters talking about Pac, because there are several documented others that have voiced their concerns……..let me just give you one quote that I am sure that you are aware of concerning M. Pacquiao, from one of the most respected boxers in the sport……….Miguel Cotto, “Why in the world would he require restrictions or conditions for the tests? It is a golden opportunity for him to (dispel) all world-wide rumors surrounding his figure and use of enhancement drugs. His refusal to commit to the tests without conditions raises questions.”………..Cotto didnt say ANYTHING about “Mayweathers” rumors………..he said ‘ALL WORLD-WIDE RUMORS”!!!!!!!! You can’t get much clearer than that.

  • iceman says:

    man, 400 plus comments and its still got no finish line!

    these 2 guys just need to get it on.

    all the fighting is being done in the media and in chat rooms!

    the problem with alot of the “proof” and “facts” etc… that comes from sites like this from bloggers is.. well.. alot of the time BS!

    i’ve that countless conversations with others that state this and then that and you believe them only to find what what they said was either just straight up lies, or they are half truths…to the point where i seldom use these sites anymore. they have become trash talking polls more than educational like they used to be.

    the truth is there are arguements both ways and depending on the fighter you support that is the way MOST people lean towards.

    i support pacquiao, BUT he could very well be on roids. however as i’ve stated before im not damning him just because he didnt take a random blood test becasue floyd and his FELON family say hes a drug user! thats all.

    if floyd does get past mosley and pac wins also and pacquiao still doesnt take the fight based on random blood testing then id have to agree with most of the floyd admirers.

    but as it is now with the negoitation being done so quickly with such little time to organise promote etc.. (seriously, a mega fight in march was NEVER going to happen, i mean they had like 4 months total to prepare) are we really surprized something didnt stick?

    alot of the below bloggs are just he said she she…..this roids issue is unreal! we are all gonna be pharmisits by the end of this! lol.

    some of the things that have come from the pac camp is BS but then same with the may camp. like floyd wants to clean up boxing (hahaha) thats cool, but why if all the evidence that has been presented then did floyd say 14 days was sufficient??? when alot of these peds can be gone in 3 to 4 odd days!????

    it just doesnt make sense. if your gonna stipulate something THEN DO IT!

    14 days was nor here nor there..

  • JesusJones says:

    @ Preston

    You are taking me around the block. Didn’t you get enough of that stuff from someone else yesterday?

    How many times have you heard Floyd Jr contradict himself in an interview? Just about every interview.

    You mean to tell me that people dont lie??? So are you saying that Floyd won’t lie just so he won’t have to fight Manny? that he’d make something up so bad cause he’s scared?

    Asnwer that. I’m walking you around the block now.

  • preston says:

    jesusjones- dude these scenarios can go both ways…..your wife may or may not be cheating on you, despite what she says. You mean to tell me that people dont lie??? Even Pacs wife finds it hard to believe that he was not cheating on her………inspite of what he said………………..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gTFDKHvemI

  • JesusJones says:

    By Preston

    “lets say rape or murder, how do they prove their innocence???? Instead of going thru a long dialogue on what a person has to do to prove their innocence……..I will let you think about that for a second.”

    No one is prosecuting Pacquiao here other than Floyd jr fans and Manny Pacquaio haters.

    There are no basis to any of these accusation.

    What you are trying to say is that in a society that we live in now. it’s okay to start going around and just accusing people. You neighbor will close his door. you relative will become suspicious of you. It’s total paranoia and I don’t think you get the bigger picture. You just want to keep pushing the issue at hand. Your only answer is to prove it by taking a drug test.

    Like someone had already said. Somebody tells you that your wife have been cheating on you. You ask her and she say “are you out of your mind”. Then you say I know I know it’s silly but will you take a lie detector test.

    You really think she will take the test? She’ll ask for a divorce if you don’t get your head straight. It’s just like Manny walking away.

    It’s so simple but you guys are letting Floyd Jr. phuck with your heads.

  • JesusJones says:

    @ Preston

    Dude, you are asking me to go around the block with you. And yes I have read you post. Without insulting, somewhere along the way, you actually turned just a bit to be on a level.

    Your mom has been cheating on your dad. You neighbor said so.

    How easily those words were uttered?

  • Big Lo says:

    I would like both sets of fans to answer this:

    Who is a bigger threat to Floyd? Pac or Mosley (assuming Pac is not on ‘roids and assuming Mosley has not been asked to throw the fight, etc)?

  • preston says:

    jesusjones- dude spare me the drama…………just becasue i disagree with you on this issue means what????? I would put an innocent person in jail???? When did I ever accuse Pac of anthing???? I have several posts that you can look thru to prove your point. I just said that I along with several others do not agree with Pac on this issue. And since you want to talk about the judicial system, when anyone is accused of anything such as…..lets say rape or murder, how do they prove their innocence???? Instead of going thru a long dialogue on what a person has to do to prove their innocence……..I will let you think about that for a second.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    Floyd fans are the most gullible people. They actually buy the lies, for which Floyd has done so often. Leopards don’t change their spot and Floyd will never change. He says he got the fight(Shane Mosley) that he wanted all along, and about 4 months ago, he was asked why he wouldn’t take the challenge from Shane Mosley, he says “Shane Mosley is not a PPV attraction”. Then Floyd also said a couple of years ago, he cleaned out the whole lightweight division, super lightweight, light welterweight and welterweight. And now he is going to after the light middleweight. Then when comes back from his retirement, he picks a fight from boxer who is a lightweight. If he cleaned out the lightweight division why is he picking a lightweight instead of person who is in weight class, which would be light middleweight. Then he said he fought Carlos Baldomir for $12 million and Sharmba Mitchell for $8 million. Lies….he fought Baldomir for $8,000,001. Yes one extra dollar. Arum was going to give him $8 million to fight Margarito instead he picked Baldomir who already had 10 losses, to fight for an extra dollar. And he fought Sharmba Mitchell for $4 million, not $8 million. Do we actually believe Mayweather is out to clean out sports or boxing. Another BS. Then on hbo 24/7 he says he owns all his cars….then thats why most of them right now are being repoed. Lies…lies…lies…lies. Go on believing this scumbag.

  • JesusJones says:

    There was a saying my Dad always made a point with. ” Maraming na mamatay sa ‘AKALA KO’ “. I not very good at translating but the saying in english would be ” lots of people die in the thinking of “what if”… Or miss opportunities or make big mistakes. I think that was the point.

    I guess what I’m trying to say Preston is that, you cannot bet all your money on “What if”. Yes it’s a total gamble but that’s exactly what it is, a gamble. Your thinking is not a sure bet.

  • JesusJones says:

    @ Bobby Bagoong

    With Golden Boy Promotion’s in my opinion is that they see Floyd Jr as a Ho. I think the terminology is “You don’t pay them for their services but you pay the to leave”. Excuse the terminology and not quite sure if I hit this one on the head. Mosley is their pride and not Mayweather. It’s a win win situation for them no matter the outcome. I really seam to be set up that way behind closed doors.

    Their PPV buy should exceed Manny’s fight against Clottey in terms of paper because of the fact that it’s 2 great American boxers. While Pacquiao is carrying the other on his back. I really do believe that people will tune in because they want to watch Mosley win and beat Floyd Jr.

    @ Preston

    I would hate for you to be one of those 12 jurors. You’d put an innocent accused man for murder to life in prison no matter what evidence is presented in front of you.

    But go on and make a joke about it just as long as you are right.

    Yes I’m a a big fan of Manny Pacquiao. A big fan of Boxing. I’m one of the last of my friends who has not turned to MMA but do watch the fights with them when invited.

    Been asked before when Manny fisrt got here to be a personal photographer here in Los Angeles and as recently as thanksgiving. He’s got others but man it’s like a traffic jam on the 101 around this guy, lol! I got my own business to take care of. Plus I have enough friends in that entourage to cover a nights story telling for days.

    Not a diehard fan. Just a big fan. The minute you present me real evidence that Manny is on something. I’d be the first to kiss your a$$.

  • preston says:

    Commonsense- So what if Pac was on steroids???? You got to be freakin kidding me. Dude, obviously it would be a very big deal, as was the loaded gloves being worn by Margarito. Why didnt Shane just let Magarito fight him with the plaster in his gloves……after all Shane is a much better boxer than Margarito…….quicker, better footwork, better defense, and better all around skills……..surley he could have outboxed Margarito based on that alone right???? we know that Shane did the right thing with his trainer examining and having the illegal substance removed from Margarito gloves, but would you be willing to say that Shane should have allowed Margarito to fight with the substance.? It makes no sense to justify Pac’s position by saying “so what”. Pac had the perfect opportunity, the biggest stage, and the perfect opponent to fight on the PEDS rumors……none other than Floyd “money” Mayweather!! What better way would it had been for Pac to take the test, and pass them with flying colors, which would have made Floyd look silly, and then proceed to beat the living hell out of Mayweather for even questioning his good name. That is what you call sweet revenge. But to run in the oppostite direction because your feelings were hurt, is a little wimpy if you ask me. I dont care about Pacs “reasons” which were all over the map…..all I know is that when the ball was put in his court, he dropped it. Mayweather only made the request, and Pac magnified the situation, by not only asking for ristrictions, but giving every excuse undere the sun………and then Freddie Roach says the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard given the situation about people getting soo weak from giving blood that they have to be given cookies….. Dude, this stuff is freakin comical, but you guys want to act like everything that comes out of Pacs camp makes perfect, or commen sense????

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To JesusJones,

    I also believe DLH and Golden Boy are charlatans and they aligned themselves to a real talent but shady characteristic. I’m sure they like the things Floyd and his family saying to the public because it just fuels the defamation lawsuit against them and the Mayweather. I know for sure, Floyd doesn’t like DLH and likewise. They just tolerate each other for the sake of the money. Do you think eventually Golden Boy will eventually sever ties with Floyd Jr?

  • JesusJones says:

    @ Bobby Bagoong on Teledaddy

    I stated that as well the other day on how slick ODLH and Golden Boy Promotions and their loyalty to Mosley. I just simply said that the winner in all this is Golden Boy Promotions. There’s a secret hatred amongst them on Mayweather. As cautious as Floyd can be he’s not clever enough to play the games ODLH and GBP plays. There’s no love lost between the two. it’s all about money. But as much as Floyd thinks he’s dictating things, he’s become a tool in my opinion in the OLDH, GBP game. Unfortunately, he will suffer from this and GBP knows it and will push in a different direction because they have multiple ACES up their sleeves and Floyd Jr has already used his. He definately has to win this fight with Mosley in order to continue.

  • JesusJones says:

    @ BoxingFan

    It doe not matter what you post. Floyd Jr fans will only think of you as delusional…….

    @ Hey Graham!

    It’s obvious comprehension is not one of your traits. Why do you think you keep listening to yourself and only yourself. Ironically enough, so does Floyd Jr. No wonder that piece of crap attracts your kind of flies. You may think it’s funny here but the rest of the real world is laughing at Mayweather’s and peeps like you.

    “Never argue with a fool. From across the street, people can’t tell who is who”.

    Now get back to your 5th period class. No walking around the hallways during class time kid.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To TelleDaddy,

    I too believe there is something underhanded with Berto bowing out of the fight with Mosley. I am willing to say, Berto was asked by Golden Boy to get out of this fight and let Mosley fight Floyd instead. They used the Haiti situation and said Berto is bowing out of the fight because he lost family members at Haiti. I thought something was fishy when Mosley and his manager was complaining why Floyd hasn’t signed yet. Which leads me to believe, there was something under the table that happened between the Mayweather, Golden Boy, Berto and Mosley. I believe this was all a set up when the fight with Manny failed to happened. Golden Boy and the Mayweathers knew they had to ditch the supposed fight with Matthew Hatton or Paul Malignaggi. I could see Golden Boy and the Mayweathers do some underhand $hit. Someone should do some investigating to this matter.

  • BoxingFan says:

    Not according to most boxing experts, insiders and athletes.

    You have to have a valid request before you even require someone else to comply. Link below:

    Much of the boxing world knows that this is all a posturing circus show by the Mayweather camp. Only Floyd fans and Pac haters continue to make something out of all this nonsense because they don’t have anything else to rip Pac with.

    It’s of little surprise as a result that 170 of the most respected Boxing Writers of America have overwhelmingly spoken on who the real deal is, which really says it all !

  • lapu lapu says:

    Floyd just basically cemented his legacy as a coward, chicken, trash talker….NOT WORTH WATCHING ON PPV….maybe in some sleazy bar or something….

    If hes still willing to fight Pacman he should do it in Pacman terms and conditions….he should be thanking Pacman if he lets him do a split of 75/25 in favor of Pacmans! Better than nothing, right ? At least he doesn’t have to do another fight and just retire after the fight with Pacman.

  • graham says:

    JesusJones,

    LOL, honestly you’re making me laugh. I can’t follow what you are saying, I think you off your rocker. You are funny, you are very funny.

    lapu lapu,

    There is no need to be paranoid, the only reason I said Pacquia needs to start defending himself is because I believe the only way he can do that is to take the olympic-style random blood test. That’s the logical thing to do.

  • lapu lapu says:

    Despite all these Im still not gonna buy PPV just to watch Floyd fight….boring, villian, conman, ploy-man, mouth, arrogant, whatever…hes not worth watching. Maybe on youtube
    but still if they dont show it on YouTube so what ?

  • BoxingFan says:

    Never mind what obsessed fans say, just read what the insiders are saying:

    Larry Holmes, Heavyweight Champion:

    I wish I could see Mayweather and Pacquiao fight, but what they’re (Floyd’s camp) doing right now is hurting boxing because people want to see the fight… They’re trying to bring up stuff that is taking away from the fight with drug tests and accusations… I don’t get it.”

    Joe Goosen, Legendary Boxing Trainer:

    “I just think Pacquiao is a juggernaut right now… and I would just say that maybe that’s the reason (Floyd’s) throwing up all these smokescreens and roadblocks because he (Floyd) doesn’t wanna get in the ring with him (Pac)… (Floyd) should just say yes to the fight, forget all the testing, this guy’s (Pac) not on drugs. There’s a little air there in all this that’s just not
    right.”

    Al Bernstein, Showtime Boxing Analyst:

    “It seems patently obvious to me that Floyd and his minions killed the Pacquiao fight. The bottom line is that the fight was basically a done deal before they decided to inject the demands for blood testing into the picture. Pure and simple, Golden Boy
    and Floyd and his advisers created the problem, and it ended up killing the fight.”

    Dan Rafael from ESPN:

    “Mayweather shouldn’t be making accusations without a shred of proof as he tries to discredit all of Pacquiao’s great accomplishments, nor should he try to circumvent the Nevada rules by asking for blood tests when the commission has never asked for them.”

    Thomas Hauser, HBO.com:

    “There were times during the past month when the conduct of Team
    Mayweather had the look of an effort to sabotage the fight. A negotiator who wants to make a deal doesn’t go out of his way to antagonize and publicly embarrass the other side. But that’s
    what the Mayweathers and Golden Boy did.”

    Jim Strickland, David Diaz’s Trainer/retired licensed pharmacist:

    “I don’t see any reason of accusing Manny of using illegal drugs in our fight.”

    Timothy Bradley, WBO/WBC Jr. Welterweight Champion:

    “I don’t think Manny is on anything. He’s just on top of his game right now.”

    James Toney, Multi division Champion:

    “Who is Mayweather to ask for the tests? Why didn’t he ask Marquez? Manny’s not on ‘roids.”

    Mike Silver, noted Boxing Historian:

    “I think it fell apart because basically Mayweather never wanted to fight Pacquiao. He wants to continue and fight guys he can beat and fool the public.

    Roy Jones, Jr.:

    “Hell naw. Why change the rules on me? Because I’m coming up in
    weight means I’m doing steroids? They’re giving you a test for that anyway. It would be something that would aggravate me because then after I beat you, I was on something, don’t play with me. Either you want to fight or you don’t want to fight.”

  • JesusJones says:

    @ Teledaddy

    I would hope that the majority of the boxing sees what you see. I think i can safely safe for the most of us at least. As great as to what you have stated, Floyd Jr fans and Pacquaio haters are entrenched. Bought and sold, commonsense in non existence.

  • lapu lapu says:

    Graham,

    Pacquaio did say he doesn’t take steroids a lot of times
    He doesnt need to talk about it more than that….why so
    u can say hes just trying to defend himself and make a
    case that because he talks so much about it he must be
    guilty ??? we know how u think….

  • lapu lapu says:

    Lets see….whos the dumb, dumber and dumbest here….oh i see its Floyd fans again…they keep ASSuming same old sh**t just b’cuz Floyd Sr and Jr says so…that just because Manny Pacquaio didnt agree to random blood test hes hiding something…..

    Name other pro boxers who demanded “RANDOM” blood testing, not just blood testing but “RANDOM” to anyone in the History of boxing…name just one before Pacman and I wont say Floyd is a coward, chicken, con-man…..you know what they say
    about “assuming”

  • JesusJones says:

    Hey Graham!

    When your daddy smacks the backside of your head and calls you crazy, then you don’t “HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE”.

    You have to convince your mom to take a lie ditector test. It’s the only way to prove to your dad so he can take a blood test to make sure that you’re his son.

    LMAO!!!!!!!! It’s doesn’t get any better than this.

    Last time I started doing this, boxingnews24 totally killed my last login name. It did not matter what I said, opinion or direct insult to insult being directed at me. kind of makes you wonder who’s really egging you on in these treads.

  • chakyun says:

    It´s getting clearer now that Mayweather doesn´t really want to fight Pacquiao. He added more and more excuses. He gave Pacquiao a chance, and who is he to give Pacquiao a chance? Mayweather is cleaning the sport, good for him. Now he can start with himself by quiting the use of PED-Xylocaine. Can he promote his own fight for once, he constantly talks about Pacquiao. He reminds me of JMM, so obsessed chasing Pacquiao. Money is not that important to Pacquiao nowadays, remember he earned almost $40 million alone last year. He is giving most of his earnings anyway. He has a lot of businesses in the Philippines as well as in states and owned real properties also in both places. According to his wife, they already saved money more than enough to all their children and now his dream is a sit in the congress. So Mayweather can forget that demand, he better be planning 2-3 more fights to earn that 25 million he supposed to have with Pacquiao.

  • teledaddy says:

    i am all for a clean sport but floyd on manny’s got malice. especially, floyd should go to the right channel, the commission, is that hard to understand? and GBP without thinking dragged themselves into floyd’s mess, if they are serious of their advocacy, why not all fights under their promotion do the tests? i’ve read somewhere that hopkins and roy jones jr are not doing the blood testing. arum was right when he said that if they will give-in to floyd’s demand then it means chaos, every boxer will demand ridiculously from his opponent to get an edge making floyd’s as precedent. and imagine boxer’s arms full of holes especially up and coming fighters who fights almost every month if this kind of tests will be a norm. they will not last more than 30 fights in their career without needing a new arm which is needless to say is a primary tool in boxing. and what if, a nurse made a mistake on a boxers arm ruining a potential’s career? think about it.

  • JesusJones says:

    Hey Graham!

    Your mom has been cheating on your dad for years. Your dad might not even be your dad. YOU AND YOUR DAD ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A BLOOD TEST. YOU’RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO CONVINCE HIM.

    Sorry everyone. Resulting to Middle school tactics. It’s the only way to reach these cats.

  • graham says:

    Oh am loving this!

    Listen we all know Pacquiao is hiding something. Most likely PEDs.
    380 something comments, don’t you guys get tired of defending this guy? It’s about time Pacquiao started defending himself.

  • kevin says:

    Floyd should wait until he retires before he becomes the regulator of boxing he is a freaking embarassment as a prizefighter a literal black eye.

  • JesusJones says:

    Great point teledaddy. Floyd Jr fans is not going to take that at face value.

  • Brit Bulldog says:

    You know? This saga is becoming too long. Why can’t they just fight. No drugs testing, no penalties, no nothing, even no gloves. Just fight and not make it complicated. Just good old traditional fight.

  • teledaddy says:

    IMHO, i think floyd is not afraid of manny and moreof manny not afraid of floyd, their match up is good for boxing and will also boost both fighters wealth and popularity/rankings. but i see a lot of loopholes in floyd’s party, i see the blood testing as his way of disrupting manny’s training why he sticks to ‘random’ whilst manny agreed to the test in periodics. simply put, floyd wants an edge over his opponent again, i said again because on what happened with JMM fight. if floyd’s team really presented ’14 days’ cut-off before the last ditch negotiations with the judge began, then why we haven’t heard of it prior to their claim after the negotiations collapsed, i don’t think it was raised during the last ditch negotiations especially that no details escapes the information highway nowadays. it’s their way of putting the blame again on manny’s team. also, if anyone can tell me the reason for why richard shaefer suddenly cancelled his trip to dallas to meet jerry jones, i have never read any comments from him which is strange, the more reason i believe that xylocaine issue is true. also, how the hell would mosley’s lawyer can sue mayweather if the contract wasn’t signed?(per his comment about mosley will fight mayweather either in the ring or in court) unless otherwise they have an under-the-table contract with mayweather that they will deal with berto to get mosley in the picture which is more appealing to fans than matt hatton or malignaggi. these are just the few i can think of right now and i would appreciate any calm and logical reply from respectable posters.

  • tropang trumpo says:

    Mayweather, does he deserve to have fans and does fans deserve him? To each his own. Some poeple like the underdog and hate the those that are too popular. But in this case… Mayweather is extremely crazy to be believable. Does he have any marketing endorsements lately? … please not KFC.

    “Good on you Mayweather. That’s as it should be, no wiggle room this time.”

    Hey, graham! When that news conference that Floyd calls out for and no one shows up. And manny is sitting at a beach somewhere, LOL!!!!! That’s going to be a lot of WIGGLE ROOM.

    OH and Floyd fans. Floyd don’t fight for nobody, Floyd fights for himself. First it’s legacy don’t pay bills, now critics don’t pay bills either.

    You don’t have to be a college grad to understand this cat. Heck, you don’t even have to have a high School diploma.

  • Hawaiian Man says:

    Floyd & His so called team are all JEALOUS that a small guy is beating-up the Big Boys…all Floyd can do is Name Calling….Get out of the business….we fans want REAL fighters……aloha

  • ozzy outback says:

    Floyd will be exposed from his fraud. He will get schooled by Pac. Imagine, he still needs a tune up for a tiny JMM, and still has to cheat him. JMM the ultimate nut will say yes to anything Floyd wants. With the Mosley fight, he will be exposed….. unless GBP is cooking up something again. Mosley was the type who would also say yes to anything for the money.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Ozzy Osborne,

    2nd tier fighters? Thats Mayweather’s M.O. Before Mosley and Manny, Floyd was already working on fighting in England with none other than #38 ranked welterweight fighter Matthew Hatton. And again before Floyd and Manny, he was fighting smaller fighter of smaller weight division. Ask JMM, who is a lightweight fighter while Mayweather previous fight before JMM was at light middleweight. Floyd is the best farmer in the world, thats why he is listed as the greatest Cherry Picker of all time.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    Floyd is doing ALL the talking. And the thing is, most everyone is not listening.

  • graham crackers says:

    Good on you Mayweather. You are born to run away forever and that’s how it should be. No drama around this time. That’s how the do it in the other professional sports. We all know that Pac is so good and that is the only reason you are scared. Chicken!

  • Tony says:

    To Mayweather it is all about the money… and some cheating too.

  • graham says:

    Good on you Mayweather. That’s as it should be, no wiggle room this time. That’s how they do it in the other professional sports.
    We all know his hiding something, that’s the only reason he’s refusing the test.

  • ozzy osborne says:

    you dont see paciaou anywhere cause his people do all his talking for him !! floyd mayweather does most of his own talking and some cant handle that .. you dont see floyds people all over the internet building him up do you ?? floyd mayweather should just move on and forget pac man… pac dont want to fight him .. paciaou would get schooled anyway , so he better stick to fighting 2nd tier fighters !!

  • Money says:

    Is there really anyone out there who believes Floyd Jr.? He has zero credibility. He seems worst than the promoters Don King and Bob Arum.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To JesusJones,

    Very well written. I think many people and including the Floyd fans, just don’t understand the cultural differences. Why Manny does what he does. Manny is being gracious and giving is an understatement. Money was never a priority to him just security for his family and being able to make a lot of money to help the people of his country. God gave him a gift and Manny uses it to help people, not just to line his pocket or bigger fame, but to help the poor in his country. Manny knows what being poor is all about. He lived in one of the poorest cities in the Philippines. To say it was a humbling beginning is an understatement too. He rose from the most adversarial beginnings to becoming one of the most admired sports hero in our time. I am proud that Manny is being recognized for his gift in boxing but most proud of all on how he is so unselfish. He brings honor,humility, integrity, graciousness, pride, and most important of all…giving grace ALL to God. He never brings attention to himself and gives credit to his fans and God.

  • Ryan Dunn says:

    Now it’s going to be Mayweather with the asterisks next to his name in the Hall of Fame if he retires without agreeing to fight Pacquiao on normal fighting terms according to the boxing commissions.

    Or perhaps he’s just cementing the rules so he never has to face Pacquiao.

    Either way, you don’t hear Pacquiao spouting off every chance he gets about the one that got away. It seems like Mayweather feels he has something to prove to us. Why?

    Just let it go, you have a much more important task at hand: BEATING MOSLEY.

    And he better pray his PPV numbers dwarf Pacquiao’s, otherwise he’s going to look foolish trying to negotiate up his split of a Pacquiao fight.

  • JesusJones says:

    @ Kray

    Great stuff.

    If in the end and Floyd has all the chips to call shots, it will not matter at all. Manny would have walked on and moved forward. An honorable man who carries himself and his country on his back will never bend not even for a gazzilion dollars. This is what make Pacquiao such a big draw here in America. A lot of Floyd fans will never understand the big difference between the two. While Floyd climbs a hill in his backyard. Manny has to climb a mountain and cross the deep blue sea. He’s admired because he did it with grace in and outside the ring. When Pacquiao finally dropped Diaz he’s reaction as a human being was telecast around the world. The man understand the brutality of the sport and he understand that this was his only way out of poverty. A thankful man indeed of the thing that has changed his life.

    I can go on and on and on. Floyd Jr can keep selling why anyone would turn away from a 25 million dollar drug test.The same man who has asked his own country men to support him like the way everyone supports the American troops at war. Same Americans who fighting a war not for money but for duty and honor. The man has no sense of the true value of things. Americans, conservative or liberals are intrigued by Manny Pacquiao. Yes they have heard of his rise through the boxing rank but they have also heard of his own personal quest to help and make a difference. His human side vs his brutal side is overwhelmed by his compassion and being a simple man. Sure he has made it and sure he has all the money in the world but he “KEPT IT REAL”. A phrase used amongst many American who have made it through music and sports but left the ‘HOOD’ as soon as they made it out, LOL! There’s nothing wrong with that but I find the phrase funny and contradictory. Manny kept it real and build a home in his poor hometown where he is still helping his fellow neighbors and community. Bringing light to dark nest poetically.

    Okay, I have lost my way in to what ever it is I’m trying to say but I think I painted a clear picture.

    Bobby Bagoong, Tol, Brad, Bro, Pare. Nice try. You had made clear and have given your honest view to Floyds Jr Fans. Commonsense is never the strongest traits of Contrarians but their opinions are always welcome. You just have to be prepared on chasing that dogs tail all day long if you want’s to have a debate with hardcore Floyd fans. Funny things is that they believe that they are the majority when it comes to the argument of a 40 million dollar drug test. It’s a very CAPITALIST mind set.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    I made another typo, I meant 24 days prior to the fight, not 14.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Simon,

    Might as well add stool sampling, rectal examination, and full body cavity search. Floyd and his fans are constantly saying why doesn’t Manny take the test, and it never fails me that Manny did agree to the test. I’ll repeat it again, one right before the announcement of the fight, another prior to the 14 days before the fight, and one right after. And unlimited urine testing. If that is not enough or going way past what is necessary, I don’t know what is. Floyd then modifies it to 14 days…and Manny agreed, Floyd would have changed it to 7 days…I guarantee. Another Floyd’s dirty tactics.

    Floyd needs Manny and Manny doesn’t need Floyd. He is already pursing a career in politics and other endeavors. He has numerous business throughout Asia and even in the United States. Manny also has numerous endorsements, securing his financially even after boxing. He doesn’t really care all that much about money, he just loves the simple life. Even Jinkee said “Mas madaming pera, mas maraming problema. Mas gusto ko pa ‘yong simpleng buhay.” Which translates to, “Having a lot of money means a lot of problems. I prefer a simple life.” Even Mama Pacquiao says the same thing, she says “we have too much money. I just want a simple life.” It can be overwhelming for people who never really had anything from the beginning. Now the world is their oyster and they long for the simple things in life. Floyd long for the wealth and fame, quite a contrast to Manny family. Because Floyd is so money hungry and craves for the spotlight, his morals and ethics have been compromised to the worse. We all know what greed does to people, they will do evil things. And we are not surprised of Floyds actions rescently. Still Manny doesn’t say a thing. Sometimes, silence speaks louder.

  • simon says:

    ANd why not add hair follicle testing and saliva testing to the blood and urine. You know. Just to be sure. And while you are at it, throw in DNA testing just to make sure Pac is not an alien.

    This is such a ridiculous excuse.

  • simon says:

    Arnel, why not make it $100M? Floyd is never going to pay it anyway? Why is he making such a big deal out of it. He is asking Pac to submit to invasive and unnecessary blood testing all during his training camp, on top of the 3 he agreed to and on top of all the urine testing unlimited and random. Pac’s condition is an “only if” that will never happen. Mayweahter’s conidtion is implemented immediately upon agreement. Just a tad difference between the two, dontcha think?

  • lapu lapu says:

    Proof of Floyds Xylocaine use

    Just go to YouTube and type “…floyd takes xylocaine…”

    Can you call this “fair-level playing field” when it numbs
    your hands so can punch like crazy and not be bothered by
    pain,especially when your opponent doesnt use any type of
    numbing drugs ?? U call that fair-level playing field ?

    There you go, proof of XYLOCIANE use by Floyd….
    Wheres the proof, not assumption, of Pacquaio using
    PED, HGH, etc ? Any witness even ?

  • Arnel says:

    Just to clarify my earlier post and to those who still “idolizes” Floyd, the $10,000,000 is just an arbitrary amount. I’m not exactly aware of the amount he made at the Cotto fight but let’s just assume it was 10 mil. That amounts to 380,000,000 million Pesos in the Philippines. In a country where you can get a Toyota Corolla (Camry here in the US) for 1 Million Pesos, that means he can literally cause the biggest traffic jam Manila has ever seen in decades just by purchasing 380,000,00 vehicles. (the car dealership owner would probably have a smile on his face till he dies.)

    By stating you “new” terms to fight Pacquiao, you did not accomplish anything towards shaking off the now accepted notion that you are basically afraid of him. No fighter with an ounce of dignity will accept a 70/30 purse from you, unless of course the guy need the money which Pacquiao is definitely not. You can keep the $25 million dollars for a blood test to yourself. Looks like you’re the one who need it.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    Manny fights for his countrymen, boxing fans, and for honor. He never boast about his accomplishments nor discredits his opponents. Has helped build schools and hospitals at his country. Gave millions of dollars away to help people. His inner circle are afraid that he might just give all of his money away. His generosity is almost to a fault.

    Floyd Jr- Always boast of his accomplishments and fights ONLY FOR MONEY!!! He doesn’t give a damn of his legacy as he had said before “Legacy don’t pay bills”. He always talks about his ZERO and how much money he has even though he owes the IRS a lot of money. Lost many exotic cars by being repoed. Lost homes on foreclosures and some of them are currently on liens. He doesn’t fight for the boxing fans and only for the Benjamins.

    or floyd may quit boxing and apply for commisioner

  • goodgrief says:

    @bobby bagoong i’m more confuse on mayweather now than before. how far will pbf go with this drug free boxing?I suggest he should retire again and run for congress and pass a bill/law for drug free sports in usa. that all athlete competing in USA should undergo random drug test if this his real motive. As a fighter he will not get this drug free sport. run for office and pass a law.Not warning pacquiao or any future opponent of his with sterner tests!

  • TKO says:

    When someone you are on top inside and outside of the ring , there is always somebody who will come out and try to put you down. Always, the root cause are envy and the arrogrance of accepting that someone else is much much better than you.

    Focus on what is on hand Mayweather, Shane Mosley, stop bashing someone far greater than you….. You might get surprised when a 38 year old will shut you up and humiliate you!

    One piece of advise, it’s not too late for you to grow up! Else you when people look back 30 years from now is antics of boxer whose mentality is that of a 3 year old….

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    Also I still have an uneasy feeling this fight with Mosley is gonna get called off. A gut feeling. With all of Floyds ranting about the fight not happening, I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a clause in his contract that will able him to back out of the fight with Mosley.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    I’m tired of responding the same old rehash. To Ares, preston…and all Floyd fans, just tell Floyd to fight. Simple as that, JUST FCUKIN’ FIGHT!!! Nobody in the history of boxing is made to do this type of testing…NOBODY…especially to a guy who is not linked to any drugs and has passed every test. JUst fcukin’ fight.

  • Arnel says:

    Floydocaine, Pacquiao does’nt need you. YOU need him. As to why Pacquiao turned his back on 25 mil in exchange for a blood test, first, he won’[t bow down to your demands and second, do you even realize how much money that guy has? In the US, 10 million is 10 million, in his country it’s 380,000,000 million pesos. 1 mil buys you a Toyota Camry. You do the math and figure out how many cars he can buy. You still think he needs you????

  • commonsense says:

    Jude, exactly right. That was what started it all. And now, with Mayweather’s new demands of random unlimited blood testing all the way up to the night of the fight and and 70/30 purse split, he has found the perfect out for him never to have to face Pac in the ring. What a coward! Too bad he is so good at fooling people. They should never let this guy into the hall of fame. He is very talented no doubt but he is horrible for boxing with this egotistical based precedent he is setting. No longer will the best fight the best anymore. Now one fighter has to make the other fighter jump thru as many hoops as he can think of to avoid the fight. I real fighter has an need to prove to the world that his is the best. Sadly Mayweather is lacking that.

  • carlos says:

    Preston, I am the first to admit that I am not an expert on any of this crap going back and forth. I admit that my source of “information” are the posts that everyone else is writing. If those posts are wrong then I TAKE IT ALL BACK. Everyone else has said that Floyd is fighting in Nevada because Xylocaine is legal there. WE all know he has brittle hands. From what the posts I have read say, in Nevada, xylocaine is legal completely. No 7 day cut off. The states that it is illegal in, most of them say it is perfectly legal if taken more than 7 days out. (I was commenting in response to someone else who said that it was legal if taken 7 days out) Do I know he is taking xylocaine? OF course not. But if he was and it IS legal in Nevada, then there is nothing to “catch” him on. He is fighting in a state where he can do that. Then you agree with me that IF he was taking Xylocaine in his dressing room, right before a fight, that would be unfair, even if not illegal in that particular state?

  • Jude says:

    It’s just Floyd gracefully saying he’ll never fight Pacquiao. Read between the lines people. Right after the Cotto fight, Floyd Sr was videotaped (look it up on youtube) saying he doesn’t want his son to get in the ring with Pacquiao. And that’s when they started the PED BS.

  • commonsense says:

    Preston, I don’t know who Ares is and I don’t have time to search through all these posts to find him. What questions r u talking about? I don’t see you answering any questions either. Just praise and adoration for “Ares”.

    So what if Pac is on roids? I don’t believe he is but I am not about to write a dissertation on Y I believe that. But what is the big F’ing deal even if he was? According to the Mayweather fans, Pac is a natural 106 pounder who only put on 40 pounds of muscle because he is all pumped up on steroids. So? Let him. If Floyd is right then he is really fighting a pumped up 106 pounder. And THIS is the guy he is supposedly so afraid to fight that he is leaving a $25M paycheck on the table? You know if there were a PED that allowed you to double your weight and grow a foot in height, wouldn’t you just love to see Pac take that PED and fight Vitali Klitchko at an equal size and weight? What would be “unfair” about that? I am not a Pacfan or a Mayweather hater. And if you can show me where I am wrong I will change my opinion on a dime? No problem. I don’t need to resort to childish name calling or playground insults. This is all very logical to me and a lot of people on this site have posed very good questions too. I don’t see you answering my questions or any of theirs either. This Ares guy you keep talking about is not the Oracle of boxing. Have an open mind. Try to see both sides. It is just so obvious to me that Mayweather is a con man manipulating public opiion. I don’t know why that is so hard to see. If you disagree, (and I am sure you will) I have no problem hearing another opinion, even if it is opposite mine, so long as it is a logical calm grown up response.

  • preston says:

    Carlos- please, show us where Xlocaine is illegal to use under certain conditions, but is allowed without reservations in Nevada.

  • preston says:

    carlos- do you guys actually hear yourselves talking????? Dude, you are making ZERO sense. You have confidently asserted that Floyd Mayweather takes Xylocaine illegally, and you know this to be true b/c obviously you have seen or have information that Floyd is taking it in his dressing room right before his fight. Seems to me that you have a crystal clear case to make against Floyd……..so why dont you take this information to the boxing commission, and prove to everybody that Floyd is taking a PED. If you are referring to the information on HBO, where everything is taped, then you have even more convincing evidence………so, there you have it………..no need for Pac to make such demands on Floyd b/c he has clearly violated the rules, and it is sitting there for the world to behold. You have the evidence…..now go and get’em!!!!!

  • preston says:

    wow——–looks like none of you Pac guys want to acknowlegde or attempt to response to the excellent posts by Ares. You can “believe” that Floyd is “scared”, and keep peddling out all of this emotional, and illogical BS, but you guys just cannot seem to answer QUESTIONS. The pissing contest that you guys like to engage in is a waste of time. I can “believe” all day that Pac is on PEDS, just like you guys can “believe” that Floyd is “scared”,…….I can “believe” all day that Pac has something to hide by not taking the blood test, just as you all can “believe” that Xylocaine is banned in 49 states….ok, and then what?

  • ozzy osborne says:

    some one in here mentioned the great roberto duran… he came up from a very low wieght and was great so he must be on roids !! you must be desperate to say that !! ive seen some of durans fights from like the early 1970s and he was great back then as well !! i see your comparisons to mayweather and pacioua.. but the difference is mayweather like duran were great and dominating fighters at almost all weights there entire careers !!.. pacioua on the other hand was average at best his whole career and then in his thirties became some superhuman beast !! thats why people SUSPECT not acuse him of roids..not to mention hes terrified of random testing ..he wants to know when they knock on the door !! hmmm

  • JOSH says:

    Mayweather’s ability to fool fans is getting slimmer every second, thanks for the internet that brought our generation the relevance and the importance of valid information that is available upon a click of a button.

    I want to point out that todays generation is not like the Muhammad Ali generation where a boxer can YAP and BRAGG all about himself and not being penalize by the fans because of the absence of the internet. For Floyd those days are GONE, don’t count on your loud ALI-type Yap to save you because these generation is not under the media of force-feed information where fans have no choice but to believe what they see and heard on a Black and White tv.

    These gneration is much more colorful than the Black and White tv era thus making all ages equally smart. We can object and refuse informations we see that does not deserve any merit. We are the critics and judges of all and upcoming scenarios and informations from all media links.

    Media and freedom of information is what making Floyd more ridiculous than ever. Sorry for you Floyd but these ain’t the ALI era where internet was unavailable to everyone. Good luck Floyd for all the Ploys.

  • boxing fan says:

    floyd obviously don’t want to fight pacquiao!so be it…i believe pacquiao can afford to walk away from it than floyd!floyd will become the biggest loser in sport of boxing!and he will regret every minute of it.

  • carlos says:

    Yes xylocaine may be perfectly legal if taken more than 7 days before a fight. But Floyds shoots up with xylocaine IN HIS DRESSING ROOM right before his fights. That would be a little LESS than 7 days making it ILLEGAL unless of course you are fighting in Nevada. Mannys will agree NOT to use xylocaine I am sure. Why won’t Floyd? Floyd says if he is agreeing to random and unlimited blood testing, why won’t Manny? If I were Pac, I would say that I will fight you without ANY PED’s INCLUDING XYLOCAINE. Why won’t you agree to fight under the same drug free conditions that I will. Where is MY level playing field? You don’t think that bding able to punch someone with all your might and feel nothing when you do it gives you an edge? What about all that talk about protecting the fighter, concern for the fighter’s health, yada yada yada.

  • commonsense says:

    The only reason May is asking for the RANDOM and UNLIMITED blood testing, RIGHT UP UNTIL THE FIGHT (his newest demands to ensure he will never have to face Pac in the ring) is to get out of the fight gracefully. Let’s all step back for a second and take a deep breath and ask this question. PED’s HGH, Steroids. OK, I am no expert but I understand these juices can increase your stamina, make your muscles bigger and make you a little stronger. Training at altitude also increases your red blood cell count and is perfectly legal to mimic what the illegal drugs do to incrase your stamina. Making your muscles bigger and making u stronger, also sacrices speed and does not necessarily increase your chances of winning in a fight. These juices may be great if you are a weight lifter but this is boxing. Where are the experts opinions and where are the studies that show unequivocally that HGH, PEDs Steroids make you a better figher or give you any kind of an edge. According to Floyd, Pac would need a lot more than just an “edge” to even belong in the same ring with him. ODH knocked out Vargas even though Vargas was on steroids. They make you bigger and stronger? OK, let’s say for a minute that Pac WAS taking steroids and that this is the reason he has filled out so much and gotten so much bigger than when he was 106. IF he was still fighting guys who were 106 lbs, yes I agree, to blow up to 147 would give him an amazing “edge” and it would be dangerous for any 106 pounder to fight him today. But he is constantly fighting guys bigger than him as he moves up in weight. Whether he is on roids or not on roids, where is this “unfair advantage” that everyone keeps talking about. Let’s say that Pac is on roids and that if he cleaned himself of all drugs he would sink back down to 126 because that is his REAL natural weight if he was not artificially pumped up by all these roids and HGH in his system. Is Floyd’s idea of a “level playing field” that Pac comes into their 147 pound fight weighing 126? Even if he was on roids, he is fighting at 147. He has never weighed that much for a fight ever in his entire career. Where is this huge unfair playing field advantage that Mayweatehr is sooooo afraid of that he is walking away from an easy $45M payday? Here is an example. If JMM complained that the last fight was unfair because Floyd was so much bigger than him, and that he wanted a rematch but he wanted to be ALLOWED to take steroids and hgh so that he could equal Floyd’s size in the ring (you know, to kind of “even the playing field), and if Floyd was offered $25M for taking that fight under those unusual conditions, DO YOU REALLY THINK HE WOULD TURN THAT FIGHT DOWN? Come on guys, open your eyes. Floyd is more of a con man these days than a fighter.

  • Alvin says:

    It seems that Mayweather is anticipating too hard about what will happen after the fight between him and Mosley. Mayweather vs Pacquiao!!!

    From what I’m reading between the line is that He really doesn’t want to fight Pacquiao either today, tomorrow, or in the future. He’s already making lots of excuses (demands that are unreasonable) at this early stage even though the fight is between him and Mosley and is not yet finish.

  • BoxingFan says:

    Funny how Pac is still being accused of being a juicer when despite all the media attention NO ONE IN THE WORLD can even name one drug to associate him with.

    Floyd = Xylocaine

    Manny = ???

    You would think by now at least one name would have surfaced.

    NOT A SINGLE ONE.

  • BoxingFan says:

    The Mayweathers have turned the sport of boxing into a circus

    with all this olympic-style drug testing demands. It’s all a

    sham to cover up for whatever inadequacies they have! They offer

    no proof and no one else can come up with any proof!

    And the Boxing Writers Association of America have spoken. And

    overwhelmingly they did!

    They know who the real deal is.

  • Huhuge says:

    mayweather sounds that he can really beat mosley? i think he must talk on this after he won. Pacquiao needs you like You need him because of money.. well, if mayweather talk like this, it’s better that this fight never gonna happen. hope to see pacquiao-valero next time rather than pacquiao-weatherweather.

  • preston says:

    Ares- you have made the two best comments on this blog thus far, and you nailed it perfectly from the blood test, to the weight penalty BS. You gave a very common sensed answer on how GBP handled Mosley/Judah and how Top Rank handled Maayweather/Pac…….I dont think that these Pac apologist will be trying to bring that up again…..lolol. And the fact you also point out about Clottey missing weight 11 times, makes Floyd’s so-called “history” of missing weight a joke, but Manny nor his camp wants to assess a penny to assure that Clottey comes in at proper weight??? That just makes the 10,000,000 weight penalty clause look even more spurious, and tells us who actually wanted to make this fight happen, and who didnt. Dude, you absolutely hit it out of the ballpark with that one, and as expected, none of the Pac apologists, who havent been shy about voicing their opinions, have all of a sudden turned in for the night……..lolololol.

  • Edgar Cintron says:

    Pac is on something and that should be very clear…

  • kray says:

    For every “expert” that claims PEDs can be detected without a blood test, there’s another “expert” that claims it can’t. That being the case, they should do both, blood and urine, to eliminate doubt–until such time that a proven and widely accepted method is adopted.

    This really serves as more a deterrent, than an actual means of catching someone in the act, anyway. Basically, it’s a roadblock to any boxer who even thinks about employing the juice, to get an edge. And that is a GOOD thing. I agree that the commission should be handling this…why they are not, shows they either don’t care or don’t know where to begin. But, what is clear is their methods are easy to game, by an experienced PED user. And a change is overdue.

    As far as this fight getting made, it ain’t gonna happen; because, Floyd will have proven this mutual screening can work, with or without the sanctioing body’s support. And if he wins, on top of that, he will have the edge in any negotiations. The tables will have completely turned.

    I have to say if Floyd pulls this off, he will be holding all the chips.

    But, Mosely may be the one who wins overall. Even if he loses against Floyd, he still may have a chance to fight Pac. It would still be an attractive fight for both fighters with a decent payday for both of them. Who else, in that division would really be left to fight, and make good money? Andre Berto, is not really a PPV draw, at this stage in hos career. Paul Williams, is not a WW, whether he threatens to be or not. Shane may wind up pulling an Ocean’s 11 in boxing, by leaving the sport with two of his biggest paydays coming at the end of his career. His legacy is pretty much cemented, anyway.

  • lapu lapu says:

    “RANDOM BLOOD TESTING” is unprecedented..”random….blood testing” ….not just blood testing but “random”, get it ? Where is this link that says theres RANDOM BLOOD TESTING for Judah, Tyson, Hollyfield, Galotta ?? Were talking about “RANDOM” – thats the issue “RANDOM” not just blood testing, ok ? You guys are masters of deception…while it may seem similar it is not the same !! For a casual fan it may all sound the same but they are not….and u guys know that..you may not know it but “google” is here….you can find out almost anything you want to know….just type it in, ok ?

  • bloopers101 says:

    C’mon Floyd make this fight happen! We need this fight. Pacquiao agreed to everything already except on evading drug tests.

    Don’t let us down have some balls, alright!

  • ares says:

    @ Bobby Bagoong
    1) random blood test stipulation WAS there from the start. Roach DID say they had no problem. You are either twisting the facts or dont know.

    2)im not here to defend GBP. but since you bring it up, Why do you think GBP refused the testing for the Judah/Mosley fight?? The answer is the same as why top rank are refusing. Think about it. they were protecting there man Mosley just like top rank protecting pac. Yes they are being hypocrites but they had a reason to refuse because they KNEW about mosley. Cant you see the similarities between Mosley/GBP and Pac/Toprank?

    3)Xylocain is NOT illegal not in nevada nor texas(unless taken within 7 days of a fight) besides Floyd has fought outsiide nevada a total of 24 times in his career. You also fail to say how texas has no drug testing at all blood or urine.

    4)Yes Floyd came in 2 pounds over the catchweight with Marquez but you didnt answer the question of why no 10 mill penatly for clottey as he has failed to make weight 11 time in his career. You then go on to say how floyd forced marquez to come up 2 divisions, but the fact is marquez called floyd out, not the other way around.

    5)according to experts on the subject like Victor Conte an numerous other doctors it is. You say they dont use blood tests during competition which is pure fiction on your part.

    6)you’re correct in saying manny had every right to refuse, but why would you? For the good of boxing AND to clear his name which is severly damaged right now?
    and finally it is not an unprecedented request. Bowe asked Galotta, Judah asked Mosley, Tyson asked Holyfield and there are others. Funny how you say its an unprecedented request and then earlier you say GBP are hypocrites for refusing the same test before with Mosley/Judah. Which is it bobby? Are GBP hypocrites or is floyds request unprecidented?? you cant have it both ways.

  • simon says:

    This blood testing is a smokescreen anyway. If it can be proven that urine testing or hair follicle or saliva detects everything a blood test does and more and with more accuracy, Floyd will lose his excuse to get out of fighting Pac. Pac has agreed to any kind of testing Floyd wants, unlimited, random no cutoff, whatever. Just not the invasive blood testing while he is in training. After the fight, no problem. Floyd needs to be exposed for the coward that he is. He is a con man. He will NEVER fight Pac. His focus is on finding excuses not to fight him. If he were a real fighter, he would make the fight. What a fraud.

  • righthook says:

    i think that mayweather has lack of balls. he really knows that pacman never agree on his request for random blood testing. if this will happen he knows that pacman will be drained and he use his size for hit and run style. he is a truly coward…

  • simon says:

    Mayweather never wanted to fight Pac in the first place. Pac was willing to take plenty of drug tests. Unlimited and random urine tests all the way up to the fight. This is not about drug testing. It is about “blood” testing and May only wants it because he knows how much it bothers Pac and he knew it was his way out of the fight. If he demands blood testing all the way up to the fight and a greater share of the purse he is saying that he has found the perect excuse to NEVER have to face Pac in the ring and he can spin it where he puts the blame on Pac. What a con man. What a coward. How more people do not see right thru him is amazing to me. The purse should be 60/40 in favor of Pac to begin with. Was Mayweather EVER involved in a megafight that was exciting? Other thnn Corrales that took place a million years ago, can anyone who saw the DLH fight with Mayweather that they got their money’s worth? He should be thanking Pac for allowing him to get 50/50.

    The timing of the demand for random blood testing is a suspect, of course it matters….Zab Judah wasnt about random blood testing…it was for blood testing but not random….

    If Floyd is a rich coward why then his Mercedez Bentz Mayback was repossessed in January 2009 ? And if he is rich why cant he just pay $500k cash instead of paying 16% interest rate and why was it repossessed ?

  • Big Lo says:

    @ Lapu Lapu

    Does it REALLY matter when this drug testing issue was brought up? I think the important thing is that it’s being brought up now because it is a legit concern. Yes, it does look a little strange that it’s coming just when Floyd was going to have his “biggest test”, but better late than never (I disagree with any athlete who has admitted to or been caught using PED’s – Roy Jones, James Toney, Marion Jones, Ben Johnson, etc.)

    Also, since Mosley is an admitted user of PED’s, I’m willing to bet that this would have come up sooner if Floyd and Mosley negotiated a fight sooner.

    As a matter of fact, I remember reading somewhere that this issue was brought up when Zab Judah was supposed to fight Mosley.

    In any case, it is a serious issue that needs to be addressed, but most importantly, it needs to be consistent and across the board.

  • lapu lapu says:

    Pacmans camp just dont want to bow down to a challenger.They can also lie all they want to Floyd b’cuz hes accusing him but still that doesnt mean there hiding something or hes trying to hide something…

  • James says:

    Floyd does not plan to fight Manny if Floyd makes the rules. Floyd is a coward. I hope that you did not pay off Mosley to throw the fight so that you can remain unbeaten. Floyd is a true coward, but he is a rich coward.

  • Big Lo says:

    A few points:

    1. random testing should be a standard in all combat sports, and I agree that Floyd should appeal to the NSAC to institute this as a policy (Arum had a good point in letting both sides give arguments and then letting the NSAC make a decision) – that being said, Pac shouldn’t refuse to do random testing (what I find amusing is that Roach insisted on nothing 30 days out but then renegged when it was pointed out that Manny had blood drawn 24 days out before Hatton. Then, they insist that Manny is effected for 3 days when blood is drawn – if that’s the case then why not agree to the 14-day window proposed by May? Ultimately, I think Pac’s camp just doesn’t want to play by “Floyd’s rules”, it’s that simple.

    2. About the weight issue with JMM, the weight limit was 147 lbs, but the Marquez camp wanted to add into the contract the $300K penalty for every pound over 144 (Floyd even came in under the welterweight limit at 146) – the fight wasn’t in jeapordy for not making 144 and no titles would have been stripped, it was a simple contract stipulation made by the fighters.

    3. To Bobby Bagoong – Mosley was never caught with PED’s, he admitted to it when the BALCO investigation was underway (he admitted to unknowingly taking the “clear” and EPO).

  • lapu lapu says:

    Theres nothing scientific about Floyds mindset – hes just a coward. Plain and Simple. Period.

  • lapu lapu says:

    If theres nothing wrong with random blood testing and if it is really true and something that’s on all Pac haters minds why then it was never brought up before ???? Tell me. There’s suspicion here b’cuz it only came about when it was brought up by Floyd against Pacman. If he didnt OR doesnt suspect Pacman and if hes not making excuses why then, demand random blood testing ? Why Pacman and not on others before him and why now ??? While it may be a legit concern of his, it still doesn’t answer the first question. THAT IS STILL THE BIG QUESTION!

  • ares says:

    1) Floyd’s request of random blood and urine testing was there from the start of negotiations. Freddy Roach said there will be no problem with any kind of testing. It was only after Floyd agreed to weight penalties and glove size that Pac’s side had a problem with testing procedures.

    2)Bob Arum continually pronounced the fight dead even though they were still talking.

    3)Xylocain is not illegal if stopped before 7 days out from a fight. I hate it when people keep bringing it up.

    4)Floyd come in once in his life overweight by two pounds. Josh Clottey has missed weight 11 times in his career. Why no penalties there?

    5) Head of USADA has said ABSOLUTLEY random blood and urine testing is the best method in catching cheats.

    6)NSAC has said Floyd has every right to ask for Olympic style testing.

    I don’t know why Pac refused the tests. Too many excuses has the average casual boxing fan questioning if Pac is clean or not. It dosen’t help when you prononce a fight dead then have another fighter signed up within 48 hours. And above all in Texas where there is no kind of drug tests at all.
    People blame Floyd snr. for bring this PED issue up, but nobody took him seriously. It was Pacs multple excuses which raised most eyebrows. ANY other sport where a Top Athlete flat out refused RAndom blood and urine testing would be crucified by the media. Imagine Usaine Bolt or Serena Williams acting like Pac did.
    Really does it matter what Floyd’s motives are? His stand is GOOD for boxing whether he wants to fight Pac or not. Where is his praise for making a stand against drugs in sports? Pac will get away with his behaviour in phillipines where he is idolized but what about the rest of the world? I have no problem being screened at an airport or giving a random breath test for alcohol. Why such a big problem for pac giving a little blood. Less than a teaspoon.

    I dont think Pacman will have a problem with random blood testing IF its required by the governing ruling body of the Professional boxing organization, just like the NSAC. But it has to be legit, be studied and voted in favor by majority of the Professional boxers all around the world, promoters, trainers and agreed to by the NSAC, the World Boxing Organizations, boxing commissions, the Professional Athletic Organizations and such b’cuz that’s the democratic way and b’cuz its an international sports just like the Olympics. It cant be a personal demand or rule made up by an individual!
    Until that time comes theres no legitimacy in Floyds demand so f*ck him !

  • Big Lo says:

    @ Bobby

    No, not guilty by association. What I’m saying is that Pac should put this whole issue to rest and admit to random testing (this would certainly put the issue to rest with me…).

    I have heard Roach say no about both Pac and Toney doing PED’s, but lo and behold, Toney was caught. So, it’s true that Roach may not be AWARE of what goes on behind the scenes with Pac (it’s possible that Pac doesn’t know what substances he’s given – maybe his conditioning coach slips something into his drink or gives him a cream to “lotion” himself up with and Pac takes it with no questions asked), but he shouldn’t say definitively that Pac is not on PED’s and then refuse to submit to random testing.

    the 10 mill per pound came about because floyd payed jmm 300k lik it was pocket money!!!

    the 10 mill is justified because floyd cheated when he came in over by 2 pound!

    now does pac actually want floyds 10 mill? i doubt it. all the 10 mill is for is to say to floyd DONT CHEAT!

    pacquiao has a right to ask for that because, well, its true floyd did cheat, whereas a random blood testing stipulation is based on what?

    floyd trying to clean up the sport!!! dont make me laugh!

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Preston again,

    Floyd does have a history coming in overweight, and that was when he came in to JMM…as I said this before over and over. If he didn’t, their would be no excess penalty. There is a clear difference between the penalty and random blood testing. All Floyd has to do is make the weight for which has done numerous times and there was no catchweight except the agreed weight of welterweight which is the exact weight. What Floyd did with JMM was unconscionable. He was already bigger than JMM and made the advantage more on Floyds side. If you saw them standing on fight night, you can see the size difference it was so obvious and scary. My friends and I commented the huge size difference, it was like a small welterweight against a middleweight. It was so unfair in every sense. A fighter that fights at lightweight to fight a guy who’s last fight was at light middleweight. That was such unfair fight in every sense. JMM had no chance….ZERO!!@

  • SPEAK YA MIND says:

    TO MANNSTER!!!

    why is you still have not answered my question this is my 3rd response c’mon man WHAT IS WRONG WITH RANDOM TESTING FOR ALL ATHLETES???????? its because you know there isnt anything wrong and your such a PACMAN fan it is hard to admit huh? im just being honest if i was at work and my boss said “hey there are people saying you using drugs we need you to take a random blood and urine test” i would be pissed off but i would take the test to prove i am innocent. now if i just quit my job that would make me look guilty right??? not only is pacman not taking the test because of his offended feelings! but his not even willing to take the test to prove to his fans the mayweather is full of sh*t isnt that a little suspect to you that he wont even do it for his fans??

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Preston,

    Just look at Floyd’s actions. There is an agenda behind all this random blood testing. Don’t be fooled by him Preston. He lies so much that I think some people are getting fooled by him. Preston, as much as I respect Floyds amazing abilities, he should just shut the fook up and just fight. His blood testing demands are just smoke screens…thats just it. Manny already agreed to the blood tests and the unlimited urine testing, even at this moment USADA conducts only random urine testing only to the current Olympian at the winter olympics. It is not wise for a combative sport like boxing to give blood so close to the fight and where it also interferes the crucial part of training…which is the last 2 weeks…the heart and final leg of the training. We all just want Floyd and Manny to fight. Manny already gave the go ahead to fight Floyd without even given a proper recuperation, less than 2 months because he has to train at least 2 months. C’mon brah..you seem to be a bit level headed don’t buy into Floyds random blood testing demands. he does have an agenda.

  • preston says:

    bobby bagoong- and I will try this again for the third time, because this is hilarious to me, and you know what they say…..”third time’s a charm”. You said it VERY clearly that Mayweather has a history of comming into fights overweight because he came into ONE fight 2lbs above his agreed upon weight with JMM…..no problem……and I said that if you felt that way then at least be consistent. Being that Pac has been KO’d twice in his career, does that mean that he (Pac) has a history of getting KTFO?????????

  • preston says:

    bobby bagong- so now you are saying that Manny only came up with the 10,000,000 dollar figure to insure that “money” mayweather wouldnt come into the fight overweight??? But, you said that Mayweather has a “history” of comming into fights overweight…….so what made you or Pac soooo sure that he wouldnt or couldnt be able to that time??? LOLOLOLL……like I said you guys are sooo funny. Things make perfect sense when it makes Pac look good. What IF Floyd would have come into the fight………..lets say 2 lbs overweight like he did with JMM………hmmmm, well with Pacs weight penalty, then “money” Mayweather would have essentially been fighting for free.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Speak ya mind,

    Because, it has to apply to all not for one or two individuals. It has to be across the board. It would be like your job making a special drug test for you, you have to give stools samples as well as a full body cavity search. While everyone else just give a urine test. The whole thing is, boxer shouldn’t be making these kind of demands. He must either petition to the Governing body and let them make the decision. It is only fair for everyone. You can’t make special rules to an individual, you do want fairness.

    February 14, 2010 at 1:15 pm
    To Preston,

    Rules of blood testing should only come from the governing bodies of boxing. Not Floyd. And it should be all across the board. Every fighter under the NSAC or whatever governing body should apply to all boxers, because the drug testing is under the rules of NSAC or other governing bodies. If the NSAC or other governing bodies implement such an invasive drug testing program, then it is what it is, all should comply. But right now, it is not Floyd’s demand that anyone should follow.

    at MANNSTER

    i am not pretending about anything all i did was ask a question that you are stll reluctant to answer WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERY FIGHTER HAVING TO TAKE RANDOM DRUG TESTING??????? . PACMAN got everything he wanted out of the deal including a 50/50 spilit (even know floyd is the bigger draw and he will prove it on may 1st) PACMAN got to choose the size of the gloves, and to 10 million dollar stipulation for pounds over the weight limit and floyd agreed to all of it so how come pacman couldnt agree to one demand if mayweather agreed to three of them???

  • SPEAK YA MIND says:

    TO ALL BOXING FANS

    lets just pretend that its not floyd and pacman just for a second. what is wrong with random blood testing for any professional athlete??? there are athletes out there right now who are being paid millions of dollars and are cheating by using PED’s. if you are a pro athlete you should take random drug testing period. athletes are getting away with it everyday wether its football,boxing,baseball or any sport.PACMAN should be a leader and start the new epidemic of random blood testing. if the 2 top fighters in the world do this it will set the example for all other boxers and athletes of others sports to follow suit. this will clean up sports period. the boxing commission has been using the same guidlines for 40 years it is old and out dates it is time for something new. what in your house is 40 years old and still works as good as something you could by new today????

    give feedback yall what is wrong with the testing and starting a new more modern way of catching cheaters???

  • preston says:

    so can any of you genuises tell us where and how did Pac come up with an eye popping figure of 10,000,000???? Why didnt Pac keep the 300,000 figure like JMM? Or lets say that Pac wanted to raise the bar a little, and set it at 500,000? Or lets give him some real room to play with and say 1,000,000. Doesnt that sound a hell of a lot more plausible and reasonable than 10,000,0000??? Why did Pac give Floyd all thee reasons in the world to protest and make the biggest fuss over that amount? No one has ever said that Pac didnt have a right to demand a weight penalty clause, but 10,000,000??? Pac might as well have set it at 10 trillion because he knew exactly what he was doing, and there was no way in hell that “money” mayweather was going to agree to that figure………..but, a funny thing happened on the way to the coliseum…..lolol

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Preston,

    You are twisting this around. First off, if you read what I said, it can modified if the fighters agree. Mosley doesn’t have to due jack $hit if didn’t want to take the blood test. But the thing with Mosley, he wants to prove to everyone he is clean because he was caught using PED’s. Read my post again, and then again. I clearly stated it can be modified if both fighters agree. But the bottomline, another fighter doesn’t have to adhere to another boxers demands. It is NSAC rules that they are the ones who require only Urine testing for drugs, and for the history of all boxing, nobody has been as demanding an Olympic style drug testing to any fighter except Floyd who is demanding it from a fighter who has tested clean and never been linked to using PED’s. Now saying that, If Golden boy didn’t want Mosley to take the blood test then they shouldn’t demand it from Manny. It is wrong in every sense. Your making a spin on my post just like Floyd making his spin on Manny not agreeing to his ludicrous demands. Mosley doesn’t have to give in at all but he has his reason. And I’ve already said it.

  • gard says:

    @preston
    We all know that Mosley is desperate to maintain his P4P status that is why he is willing to give unlimited blood test,and also it doesn’t bother him.

    It is true that Floyd want to change the rules of boxing,only
    it looks like he wants to clean up the boxers he is fighting.

    Yes random blood test is a stipulation and is part of the negotiations,the same as when one camp demand that the other camp can not use lidocaine in training.

    What I’m saying is stipulations can be use to gain advantage
    in the mind games or can be used to walk away from the fight
    without being too obvious.

  • preston says:

    bobby bagong- wait a minute……so, now you are willing to admit that Floyd’s blood testing demands to Shane are all about “stipulations”…….”The sole reason why Mosley took the same stips…..”, but when you talk about Floyd’s fight with Pac, it changes to “rules”???….”Rules of blood testing should only come from the governing bodies of boxing. Not Floyd”………….lolol,,,dude this is why you Pac guys are sooooo funny……you guys are always contradicting yourselves………whatever sounds good for your argument is the position that you take…..if it makes Pac looks good, then you say what is expediate…..if it makes somebody else look bad, well, then it really doesnt matter.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    I’m sorry my comment was meant for Preston not Mario.

    Btw….the NSAC is the governing body that is RESPONSIBLE for the drug testing. It is not the boxer. Floyd is trying to make this contractual demand when it clearly it is the responsibility of the NSAC. Go check it out yourself. However, boxers can modify if both parties agree but they are not obligated to follow or concede to another boxers demands. How do you explain when Golden Boy refused to make Mosley give a blood test when Zab Judah’s manager requested it? Afterall, Golden Boy is also spearheading this random blood testing. Richard Schaefer the CEO of Golden Boy said “We are not going to do other tests than the Nevada commission requires,” Schaefer said. “The fact is Shane is not a cheater and he does not need to be treated like one.” This whole thing is a smear campaign by the Mayweathers and Golden Boy. If you can’t see that, you are more blind than the whole student body of the Helen Keller School of the Blind.

  • WTF says:

    u go on about how floyd agreed to 147 etc… will WTF did he wont manny to do. step up to junior middleweight while pac cant even barely make welter limit???

    and 50 50 split. it should have been 60 40 in pacs favour.

    people pay to watch manny fight, while they pay to watch floyd get koed! FACT!!!!

  • WTF says:

    DKB 007,

    retard!

    who gives a fock about the 25 mill when pacquiao already has got more money from endorsements and boxing than a bull could s**t!

    heres the funny bit for you clown, its never been about the money for pacquiao, he doesnt focken need it!

    its about pride.

    mayweather and his criminal family accussed him of unproven claims while the fight negoiations were still going, and alot of people feel that pacquiao walked away because he didnt want to let floyd get the upper hand.

    heres anotha fact you stupid kunt. glove size ring size etc… have all been part of boxing negoitations. the fact that pacquiao put a 10 mill per pound clause in was because floyd focken cheated against marquez!!! FACT!!!!!

    whats floyds claims based on?????

    shut the fock up little man a pull floyds little floyd out of ur arse!

  • preston says:

    uhmmmmmm bobby bagong- who said anything about Floyd doing the right thing by not comming into the fight at his agreed upon weight with JMM????? I most certainly didnt, nor would I sit here to justify it……..I just find it funny that you guys have took that issue and ran with it, and all of a sudden Floyd has a history of comming into fights overweight. Ok, if you guys fell like that then be consistent…….Manny Pacquiao has been KO’ed twice in his career, so does that mean that Manny Pacquiao has a history of being KTFO????? Can you answer the question???? Or will you proceed to evade the question, and go off into this tirade again about Floyd’s fight with JMM??????

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To MaRIO,

    The sole reason why Mosley took the same stips is because he also wants to eliminate any sort of doubt of PEDs when he was already caught using them and even during his fight with DLH for which he admitted too. If Mosley was clean and never was linked to any PEDs,and during his prime Mosley would have told Floyd to go “fck himself”..thats a guarantee. Second, Mosley is getting up in age and wants a big pay day with both Manny and Floyd. He is nearing his retirement. It makes sense. If Floyd would have told Mosley to give a stool sample along with a full body cavity search, Mosley probably would have given in. He wants the big pay day.

  • Who Dat? says:

    Latest reports….. Pac has a history of getting knocked out. Clottey is the under dog favorite to win by 9th round TKO.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Preston,

    It is still a catchweight that was agreed upon. The reason why Floyd already has a significant advantage, you say 2lbs doesn’t make any difference, then why Floyd couldn’t lose that measly 2 lbs. He was already challenging a fighter who had to skip 2 weight classes. Floyd’s last fight was a light middleweight, JMM was at lightweight. Thats a 3 weight class difference. Doncha get it???? Not only did Floyd postponed the fight with the so called “rib injury”…wink wink. It was absolutely a farce on Floyd to picking JMM who is clearly smaller and best at lightweight and clearly lacked stamina and power when he went up in weight. When JMM fought Juan Diaz at 139, JMM had a hard time with the fight, for 6 rounds Juan Diaz was clearly beating him but JMM finally came back and won. But it was so clear, JMM’s best weight is at 130 lbs…his best weight. Why in the hell would Floyd pick JMM who fights at lightweight. He’s not even at light welterweight. JMM fight comfortably at 130 lbs. People constantly brings up JMM when it concerns Manny. Manny had to drop weight just to fight JMM at 130, Manny was comfortable at 140 lbs but Manny had to drain weight. But if Manny fights JMM at 145 or 147, Manny would destroy JMM in less than 4 rounds…guaranteed. Manny is totally different fighter now than when he first fought JMM or even the second time. It would be ugly for JMM….he might not even last the 2 rounds. Manny is fighting at another level.

    It doesn’t change Floyd cheated JMM of the 2lbs which is so dirty. He already made JMM wait 3 additional months because he probably couldn’t make the weight. While JMM had to continue to pay his trainers, facilities, and whatever continuing expenses. Floyd had ALL the advantages and he made it even more when he couldn’t meet the measly 2 lbs. In boxing..weight is everything, even a lb can be significant.

  • JOSH says:

    No matter what Floyd will do to avoid Pac,he will never be able to take the pressure of the demand of the public and that is to just man up and be willing to fight, if not the fans will serenade Floyd ’til he goes further mental.

  • preston says:

    bobby bagoong- why do you keep talking about the rules of the NSAC????? There is a difference between governing bodies rules, and stipulations and demands made by negotiating fighters………do you understand that???? If Floyd Mayweather was changing the rules, then why did Mosley agree to those same “rules” that Floyd was trying to change that Pac didnt agree to? Where is the outcry from ANY santioning bodies governing that fight????? I would think that if Floyd Mayweather was about trying to change any rules, then we most certainly would have heard from some legal authority on the matter…….after all that would have given Shane Mosley legal grounds to refuse and outright not even agree to ANYTHING that Floyd wanted, and NOBODY would have found issue with Mosley even though he admittted to usuing PEDS. Rules cannot be changed…..demands or request can………..what is soo hard to understand about that????

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    written by Jake Jimenez.

    I had to share this…it is funny as hell.

    “Count Floydracula is a fictional character, the titular antagonist of uncle Roger Stoker’s 1897 Gothic horror boxer Count Floydracula and archetypal vampire. Some aspects of his character may have been inspired by the 15th century black American general and Mayweatherchian Prince Floyd Sr. III the Impaler. In uncle Roger Stoker’s gym Count Floydracula’s steroidbiography, xylocaine characteristics, chickenpowers, duckabilities and hypocrisy are narrated in whole by multiple “a” holes from different perspectives. The most informative of these narrators are Tony Atlas Harker, Oscar dela Van Helsing and Shanemina Harker. Count Floydracula inhabits a decaying castle in the Floydian Mountains near the Duckling Pass. Contrary to the vampires of Top Rank folklore, which are portrayed as repulsive to blood tests, pacman -like creatures, Count Floydracula can exude a veneer of aristocratic odor which does not mask his unfathomable evil.”

    BTW….To Mario,
    AT&T did not sign Floyd as their formal endorser like Nike. He was just hired to play a part in a commercial…thats it. Currently, Floyd doesn’t have any major company using him as their official endorser. His promoter of FM promotions Leonard Ellerbe says Floyd is being choosey. He said why Floyd is not an endorser of a soda or sportswear company- “why be part of the team when you can be the owner of the team.” Which implies Floyd shouldn’t settle for endorsements but to buy it.” Yeah right….thats why he had problem paying the IRS, some his exotic cars getting repoed, still owing banks a lot of money and some of his properties either when on foreclosure or having a lien. The reason why Floyd doesn’t have any major company signing him as their official endorser, it is because NOBODY is interested. He is a poor role model and his marketing value is practically nonexistent. The only reason why people want to see his fight, really it is to watch him lose. Once he loses, nobody will care about him afterwards.

    It just shows how desperate Floyd is,especially that Manny was awarded as Boxer of the decade.He will try everything to avoid fighting Pacquiao in an unweakened state.

    Yes some people say that it is just a small blood,but individual differs in opinions,thinking and fears. I know people that outweight me by more that 30 lbs. that are scared/squirmy of small bugs and I’m not.

    So why not just follow the regulation mandated by the sports commissions.Then if a fighter wouldn’t agree with the rules
    he/she may compete in the Olympics or anywhere that the guidelines suit him/her.

    Floyd will fight Pacquiao only when the later is not as fast
    and not as strong.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To WTF.

    I too will Dled the fight, no sense of watching Floyd’s ho hum fight and the last time i went to watch Floyd;s fight, most of the time, my buddies went outside to smoke or just hanging outside. Most of them said his fight is boring. But Floyd is very technical on his fights but unfortunately it doesn’t translate well on TV. It is like an action movie where the action scenes were removed. Floyd’s boxing IQ is unquestionably the best in boxing, and being a pedigree in boxing definitely has advantages. But after his fight with Corrales, what the hell happened? His fight with JMM was a clinic but man….did it lack action. Technically it was a masterpiece but action wise…..damn it was hard to watch.

  • Stonehanded says:

    @Lex, i’ve called you out twice now asking for a reply on my comments that i had made earlier. Please give me a rational explanation for these two fighters:

    Roberto Duran started his career weighing 119 lbs. He later went on to win titles at 135, 147, 154, 160 and 168 lbs. At 154, 35 lbs above his debut weight, he devastated Davey Moore, essentially ending his career. At 168lbs, almost 50 lbs above his debut weight, he KTFO Iran Barkley. Clearly “hands of stone” was a roid cheat.

    Sugar Ray Leonard began his career at 147 lbs, yet managed to knock out Donny Lalonde to win both the WBC 168 lb and 175 lb titles. The obvious conclusion: ROIDS!!
    PBF was the 130 lbs titlist and at 147 lb and 154 he’s knocked out…..never mind, he doesn’t knock anyone out. He’s clearly NOT on steroids.

    Pls answer to my reply.

  • Khaled says:

    Manny will never fight Floyd

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Big LO,

    If you are thinking guilty by association, then you should think otherwise when Floyd Sr was sent to prison for drug trafficking and Uncle Roger is heavy crack addict and has been sent to jail for battery on women. Also Floyd is connected to the shooting at an ice rink at Las Vegas. Be careful how you connect the dots. Just because OJ Simpson killed Ron Goldman and Denise Brown, doesn’t make his children as accomplices. And in my belief, Floyd Jr is clean and free of any drugs despite his father and uncle. Gate has to swing both ways brotha.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Lex,

    Bro…you are in denial. Floyd was truly backed in to fighting Mosley. Floyd himself said at interviews that he is not interested to fighting Mosley. He said this over and over on several interviews. Go check out his interview with Brian Kenny of ESPN. Floyd said it himself in his own EXACT WORDS the reason why he won’t fight Mosley…”Shane Mosley is not a PPV attraction.” while slapping his hands to make a point. And when Sugar Shane approached him after Floyd’s fight with JMM, Max Kellerman pointed out Sugar Shane Mosley is one fight people want to see, and when Mosley came on the ring with Floyd waving him in, Floyd said “Ummmm…..um…Shane Mosley is an excellent fighter and I let Leonard Ellerbe and my promoter conduct my fights.” And this is the same Floyd who went on TV saying Manny won’t call him out and that Manny should be the one calling him out instead of his trainer Freddie Roach or his promoter Bob Arum. If Floyd said he wanted this fight from the start then why didn’t he just accept the fight right then and there? Instead he came off hypocritical when he started accusing Manny of ducking him and letting his promoters dictate who he fights. While Floyd said himself, I’ll let my promoter and Ellerbe conduct my fights and they are doing a great job. Since 2006 Floyd had many chances to accept Mosley’s challenge. Mosley has been after him for nearly 4 or 5 years. Floyd should just shut the fcuk up and fight…his lips are flapping way too much and it is making him sound more contradicting. Many see Floyds ranting and raving about Manny as another way of trying to put the blame on Manny when practically everyone is pointing the fault towards Floyd. They did a poll at the LA Times on whose fault it is on why the fight didn’t happen. If you add Floyd’s manager and promoter, team Mayweather is too blame by a whopping landslide of nearly 92% while Team Pacquiao is a measly 8%. Floyd is on an offensive attack but unfortunately for him, everybody still thinks he is at fault because he is being perceived as the coward of looking a way out of the fight. It was already put out there that Floyd ducked many fighters, the public opinion was overwhelmingly in favor saying Floyd ducked the best fighter. So when he made the demand of random blood testing on Manny, it made it even worse for him. Because right now, most of the public believe he is afraid to fighting Manny. And the people who believe Manny is hiding something because he wouldn’t give in to Floyds ridiculous demands is very minute. The problem with Floyd is the public knows he has big mouth and a lot of the stuff he says are lies and he gets caught contradicting himself. And having Floyd Sr and his Uncle Roger constantly making stupid public statements only makes Floyd Jr as another accomplice. They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. All boxing fans want is just a fight and none of this stupid accusations and random blood testing crap. First fight and then make a crusade to make a change. Not during the negotiation of the fight because it comes out Floyd is running on fear and paranoia. Floyd had many opportunities to make a case. Especially when Mosley, Vargas, Toney, RJJ, Hopkins, Klitschko, Marino, and Holyfield were exposed to having been linked to taking PEDs. He would have ample ammunition to make his case instead he used Manny. Manny has never been linked to using PEDs and passed all the test EVERYONE took including Floyd. This whole thing with the ramdom blood testing, innuendos and accusation is basically an all out smear campaign on Manny. It tells you this smear campaign is not being bought since respectable Boxing Writers Association of America voted Manny as fighter of the decade. And on top of that, Manny being put on Time Magazine cover. Awards are still coming in for Manny, and allthis smear campaign by Floyd is making him look like a little b1tch. It is not working.

  • Big Lo says:

    @Lex

    That’s a good point. I didn’t connect those dots (if there’s anything to be connected). I admit that I didn’t think of Manny on PED’s until it became an issue last fall (I’m still not sure what I believe), but there is a cloud of suspicion over his head now (and the fact that Roach was in Toney’s corner thru his steroid abuse darkens the cloud…).

    only one reason why he made it seems they not be not another floyd vs pac fight,he seen how active the discussion on why the fight was called off etc. and its still stronger than about his fight with mosley, he want it too stop,sorry floyd, Im like mosley too but not buying the fight too . the pac fight is a twice a yr fight thing from 10 years back. its be more exciting 700 punches a fight 6 rd + is enough for me.

    To Sweet Science again,

    yeah that fight with Mosley was definitely pushed into Floyd. Floyd really had no choice. For people who say Floyd too him on and give him credit…come on. On the interview with Brian Kenny on ESPN, Brian Kenny said why doesn’t he fight Sugar Shane Mosley, Floyd’s response was this “Shane Mosley is not a PPV attraction.” So there is the contradictory. If people doubt what I’ve just said, just go to youtube and type in Brian Kenny Floyd Mayweather, you’ll see the interview. Floyd was backed into the fight with Sugar Shane, it wasn’t Floyd finally getting what he wanted…thats bull$hit.

  • lex_fugitive says:

    How was Floyd forced into starting negotations with the best welterweight in the world?? Mosley-Berto was still scheduled when MAYWEATHER INTIATED NEGOTATIONS BEFORE ANYONE IN THE MEDIA EVEN BROUGHT MOSLEY UP AS FLOYDS NEXT POSSIBLE OPPONENT. GO BACK TO PAGE 22 OR SO ON THIS VERY WEB SITE AND LOOK HOW PEOPLE WERE SAYING FLOYD WAS GOING TO FIGHT MOSLEY BEFORE BERTO PULLED OUT. but at first it was Floyd wouldn’t fight him, that it was a lie, then Floyd wouldn’t sign a contract, and now that he has, its he was forced into it. Ignoring what really happened. Go back and look. No one had mentioned a possible Mayweather-Mosley bout next, until Floyd did! But yea it sounds better if you lie about that.

  • roys says:

    I think floyd got his facts mix up. Donate platelets is ok and difference from donating blood. taking 1-2 cups blood sample from a fighter who going to get his head punched close to 200 times in a fight is more dangerous than getting punch from a suppose steroid punch.as blood carries oxygen to every part of your body you need every cup, their is a trick where you put your both hand on the floor take 10 deep breath and stand up holding your breath,dont try this alone as you are guarantee to fall backward and land on your head as you will pass out cold,somone need to catch you.my point is having less than 1 gal 4 cup blood that will not return till 2 weeks is more dangerous than a steroid punch .hope mosley dont do real damage to you,

    from the American blood association website,
    blood donations faq.

    How often can I give?

    Donate whole blood every 56 days. Red blood cells are the oxygen carrying cells. They can take two weeks or longer to fully return to normal.

    Donate platelets (apheresis donation) as much as twice in one week – or up to 24 times per year. Platelet and plasma components are replaced in the body more quickly than red cells. Platelets will return to normal levels within a few hours of donating.

    How much blood do I have in my body?

    Women have about 10 pints, and men about 12 pints of blood in their bodies.
    so breakdown you have 1 gal 4 cups of blood in you,

  • lex_fugitive says:

    Floyd and Manny both were fighting at 106 pounds when they were 16. The difference is Manny is able to knock out bigger opponents when landing the same punches against smaller opponents didn’t. Thats the point. Bonds started his career hitting a lot of home runs. Then he suddenly was hitting a crazy number of home runs. And look at Duran when he moved up in weight! He basically got fat to move up. Blood and urine tests are needed to see if a fighter is clean. Random tests. This is something the head of the USADA, WADA, and Victor Conte all have said numerous times. This is what Manny flat out refused. Anyways, Manny can take all the PEDs he wants to beat a second tier opponent next month since he insisted on fighting in Texas, a state that won’t test him at all. Not one test, not even a urine one. Manny still hasn’t given an honest answer why he won’t take any random blood tests. If he did, all you wouldn’t have to be on here making up excuses and lies as to why your idol won’t take random blood tests and why he’s afraid of elite fighters.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Sweet Science,

    Yeah…that is definitely a possibility. What is interesting, most of the African boxing fans just want Floyd to shut up and fight. They are also not buying his blood testing and cleaning up sport crusade. I think all of boxing just want Floyd to shut up cuz they are wearing in everyone’s nerves. Just fight. Maybe that should be the new shirt slogan for Nike and give it to Floyd…Just Fight. We never heard Ali, Hearns, Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson, Ricardo Lopez, Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Archie Moore, Sugar Ray Robinson, and even Willie Pep….I lets just include all the greats, demanding special testing or implying the other is a cheat. They just fought..thats it. Being a warrior is the utmost importance to a boxer.

  • lex_fugitive says:

    Manny refused RANDOM blood tests. That were in the original proposal. Mayweather never threw anything extra in. In fact he gave in to every other issue there was. Manny and Floyd are the same size. Mayweather weighed less when he fought De La Hoya than Manny did. But hey, if I was Manny I would rather fight Clottey too. Thats another easy, cherry-picked opponent.

    LMAO. Yea, all the press Mayweather is getting is going to backfire. Lets just see how the Clottey fight does compared to the “The Main Event” on May 1!!! May 1 easily doubles Pacquiao and another cherry-picked opponent. Boxing fans finally want to see Manny step up and fight an elite fighter. But that’s looking like something we will never see, because Manny is simply scared of the top fighters. Come on, Mayweather would never hear the end of it for ducking someone because they are “too good” but that’s exactly what Manny did. Now Mayweather is fighting the guy that was too good for Manny and Manny is fighting another second tier opponent.

  • SWEET SCIENCE says:

    @ BOBBY….. i agree with you. it might backfire on him. i really hope it does. He shouln’t be doing any interviews about manny and stay focused on fighting mosley! he might be getting ahead of himself.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    I’m willing to bet, DLH and the rest of the Golden Boys want Floyd to just STFU already because he is drawing way too much heat. It can actually backfire where the fight with Mosley may be boycotted. I know I’m not going to pay to watch his fight with Mosley but I will download it. :D I want to see Manny fight because I know there will be action…lots of it. Plus being a pinoy….we always get together have a big feast at all the fights.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    I made a typo….I meant USADA administer random drug testing but it is ALL URINE TESTING….NOT BLOOD TESTING.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    Guys, believe it or not, P4P is not really an anti Manny fan, I understand what he says but I already think he knows that Manny will bring it on and Floyd should just shut the fcuk up and fight. I’ve heard worse arguments against Manny and P4P is really in the same category of the some I’ve heard. He’s a lot more reasonable. Many already are not buying into Floyd blood testing and cleaning up sports crusade because of the contradictory things he says. He says he is out to clean out boxing but to be honest, he is crusading due to fear and paranoia. When you are driven by fear and paranoia, you will almost do anything to hide your true feelings. However, it doesn’t detract Floyd extreme talent for boxing and his boxing IQ which I believe is not even debatable. But you can’t just win on IQ alone and talent. You must have a combination of those 2 plus the heart of a warrior. Roberto Duran who’s warrior heart propelled him as listed #5 greatest boxer in history.

    Manny won’t say anything harsh towards Floyd because that is not in his character. In the Asian culture, boasting, bragging and trash talking is truly frowned upon and not honorable. It is truly embedded in the Asian culture for thousands of years. Floyd should try to understand why Manny does what he does because a lot if is mainly do to cultural beliefs. Also many athletes are very superstitious too, and thats including Manny. I remember reading an article awhile ago about a baseball player eats a hot dog from the stand at every game. He won’t go out on the field until he eats a hot dog. Some people pray to God at every game, does it help?? It doesn’t matter because inside they believe.

    I’ll repeat again, all USADA administer random blood testing to all Olympians….but it is ALL URINE TESTING….NO BLOOD TESTING. They will do blood testing after they are complete with their competitions. This is true!!! Removing a vile of blood from an athlete who is under rigorous training and competition are not recommended by physicians. They would prefer for you to recover at least a day for safety and well being.

  • P4P says:

    Lapu
    Yes his earlier fights were more impressive but he has alot TKO’s, I don’t think its because he’s not as good I think he settles for just doing enough to win which I hope he changes but like you said look at the records look at the fights Manny is exciting People like that blow for blow type of fight (UFC) is an example.Mayweather’s sytle may not be as exciting as Pacquiao but it is effective some people win by knock outs some by score cards. Muhammad Ali use to say (Fly like a Butter Fly Sting Like A Bee The hands cant hid what the Eyes can’t see)

  • SWEET SCIENCE says:

    Pbf CLEARLY doesn’t ever want to fight Manny! His mouth keeps diggin holes for himself. Has anybody heard a word from manny or his interpreter about floyd since the failed negotiations? no………. & Yes, Manny wants to fight the best fighters out there but floyd is a fight he doesn’t need anymore. to much controversy surrounding it now. Floyd tainted it with his accusations. I would love to see pacman fight pbf but i dont think he deserves a fight now. to many stipulations in the contract. Manny’s still a damn good fighter and floyd is still a damn good entertainer. why is everybody acting like floyd took this fight with mosley head on, like he has been meaning to make it happen? It took his ass 5 f@ckin days to sign the contract. He was going to fight pauli mala-who gives a damn and he was talking about a rematch with hatton. who really wants to see that? I really want to see him fight mosley head up and not run. let’s see him take the fight to mosley, manny always takes the fight up to his opponents! ALWAYS!!!!!!!

  • lapu lapu says:

    P4p…I agree Floyd had knock downs but not too many KO and I do agree he was able to knock them down in his first couple of years in PRO Box but not as many as Pacman…u only have to google their name and theres your records…Floyd was good way back then but I don’t think he is that good now…some people get less and less effective as they grow older and some people get at their peak as they grew a little older…while 40 wins and zero loss is impressive it still has to be proven…

  • P4P says:

    @Stonehanded

    Those are all very good points , and I do agree with you. I don’t know nor am I saying Pacquiao is on roids. like you said Pacquiao also had some ridiculous demands but the bashing and bias seems to be one sided. I would love to see the fight they are both great fighters

  • Stonehanded says:

    @Lex_Fugitive and all you so-called fans of boxing
    It’s not about taking the blood test, Manny AGREED to taking blood tests, yet Floyd kept on pushing the envelope with his incessant demands. Granted that Manny’s demands were a bit over the top but could you blame him due to the fact that Floyd actually was 4-6pounds over the weigh in against a fighter who had not even been at that weight range before?
    It’s become an all too easy route these days, oh he MUST be juicing because he’s knocked out X-Y-Z, here’s some boxing history for you tools:

    Roberto Duran started his career weighing 119 lbs. He later went on to win titles at 135, 147, 154, 160 and 168 lbs. At 154, 35 lbs above his debut weight, he devastated Davey Moore, essentially ending his career. At 168lbs, almost 50 lbs above his debut weight, he KTFO Iran Barkley. Clearly “hands of stone” was a roid cheat.
    Sugar Ray Leonard began his career at 147 lbs, yet managed to knock out Donny Lalonde to win both the WBC 168 lb and 175 lb titles. The obvious conclusion: ROIDS!!
    PBF was the 130 lbs titlist and at 147 lb and 154 he’s knocked out…..never mind, he doesn’t knock anyone out. He’s clearly NOT on steroids.

  • lapu lapu says:

    Reminder: USADA backs up urine testing which is what Manny Pacquiao has agreed to in unlimited testing…So Im telling you Pacman is not on PED, HGH, or whatever…its just a ploy for the Mayweather and team to “re-paint” a different picture of Pacman in the public eye, to cast doubt, to discourage would be fans and a excuse to escape the fight from Pacman…simple as that !

  • Stonehanded says:

    @Lex_Fugitive and the rest of you Mayweather fans. I’ve typed this up once and i intend to keep on typing till i get a valid response: Want to know why Pacman can walk away from a 25mill blood test? because he CAN, get onto google and convert the US dollar into Filipino PESO’s and look at how much he is actually worth. Those takings he is receiving regardless of how much Top Rank and GBP are making off him does not mean squat diddly poo. He is actually worth a kings hoard back there. He doesn’t need ‘Money’ Money needs HIM. And if were going to take the PED route then please go right ahead, just show ME A SCRAP OF EVIDENCE to PROVE he is on it before doing so. Because if he was then i do believe he wouldn’t be taking the Mayweathers & GBP to court for defamation, he’d be stfu in the Philippines counting his stash and pulling a FRAUD by ‘retiring’.

    Floyd first fights as Pro were knock outs , many in the 1st and second round at a min and 12 seconds. look it up or I can send links to you. also many were by stoppage Diego Corrales (RIP ) who was 33-0 and the current champ suffered his first knock down and first lost to Floyd Mayweather Jr . Please do your home work check facts and not just post

  • P4P says:

    Only matters depending on the point your trying to get across

  • P4P says:

    @ Ken D
    it is important to read a post and understand what the person said and why they said it. The post that I wrote with the glove size in it was because another person talked about all the demands and things that floyd were asking for, also you are correct the Nevada Boxing commission does not specify the glove size but that was a request that Pacquiao made and Mayweather agreed so the argument about the what the rules of the Nevada boxing commission are only matter depending on the your trying to get accross.

  • elloco says:

    Pac fans are more worry about what Floyd does than following their “juiced” hero. Floyd will have all the leverage if he beats Mosley in may. This fight b/t Pac and Floyd if it ever happens will be on Floyd terms.

    Move on the the Pacman articles and don’t be so worried about what Floyd does.

  • taurus says:

    KFC JR sounds like KFC SR…like father like son

  • lapu lapu says:

    Floyd have very little leverage…its just that zero loss…thats about it plus a former P4P ! But that zero loss was from winning decisions, not clear and convincing victories where u dont have to wonder if he really won or not or where you have doubts if the judges were cherry picked…Hes not knocking them out….if you google Floyd Mayweather Jr. and look at his records…it tells you….only 2 actual KO..22TKO..where Pacman has at least 14 actual KO and all countless recognitions from almost everyone in the boxing world !!

  • Ken D says:

    All apart from P4P,
    Stop responding to this tube-he has no idea what boxing is about and is just desperate to share a private sauna with PBF.
    Noticed a few people talking about mayweathers concessions with glove size-10oz gloves are not regulation size for 147lbs,8oz are so there was no concession by Floyd just him trying it on AGAIN!

  • lapu lapu says:

    lex_fugitive,

    If you say die-hard Pacfans are the only ones who believe Pacman is not on PED, then how do you figure all that big endorsements from big name like NIKE, NSAC, World Boxing Organizations, Ring Magazine, Sports Writers Association, 60 Minutes, Yahoo Sports, San Miguel Beer, McDonald, Alaxan, etc, etc just to name a few…do u think they will endorse him if hes on steroids ??? idiot !!

  • fly ty says:

    floyd can say whatever he wants, though desperate at first glance, its his own free speech, and he might actually have some leverage. He just better beat shane, otherwise…..

  • carl says:

    Floyd is really looks desperate of his demand of random blood test. He doesnt know that he is dealing with the NO.1 P4P boxing in the world. he is just no.2.

    Freddie Roach insists Manny Pacquiao could still fight Floyd Mayweather Jnr this year
    By SPORTSMAIL REPORTER Last updated at 11:48 PM on 10th January 2010

    Add to My Stories
    Trainer Freddie Roach is hopeful Manny Pacquiao will fight Floyd Mayweather Jnr this year, but only after March 13.
    The Filipino will now defend his WBO welterweight title against Ghana’s Joshua Clottey on that date.
    Roach said: ‘Manny is going to fight Clottey on March 13 and we are just going to  move on. Manny wants to fight the best fighters and Floyd is definitely one of  them.

    So don’t claim they moved on and don’t care to fight him

  • cardoso says:

    for some reason, floyd reminds me so much of the boy who cried wolf. Floyd sounds like already laying the groundwork for a possible excuse in not fighting Manny in the future. The problem is he is only talking to himself. This guy is really more entertaining outside the ring. He reminds one of a village idiot whose comments were nonsense but entertaining.

  • lacem up says:

    i would give pacman 20 percent of the purse !! mayweather is the bigger draw !! always has been..yea some watch to see him get beat or whatever, but still he is the bigger draw..look at all the postings on a MAYWEATHER story, nuff said.. lets see how both of there next fights do .. ever since floyd retired mannys been fighting beaten up guys !! why should top rank dictate all the terms ..let them walk away again , who cares !!

  • Ijo Dep Utah says:

    Let’s move on, Floyd. Manny won’t fight ever, he’s not the kind of guy that will bow to you. Keep doing your blood testing crusade. But, don’t make this a personal crusade against Manny. I’m for the boxing fans in this case because, it seem like you keep on attacking him. Do you hear anything more about him after your failed negotiation. And whats with the warning, the fight is not going to happen. There are a lot of good boxer on the rise that any one of you can fight. Do you see Pacquiao team paying attention to you. After Clottey, Khan, Maliggnani, Margarito and so on are lined up to fight Manny. Who cares about you, Manny can make money anyhow.

  • boxingsense says:

    I HATE BOXERS WHO TALK TOO MUCH OUTSIDE THE RING.

  • P4P says:

    @ Jeckyl

    I am aware and understand that, My comment was in reference was to blood testing making him weak and your reference to how 36 min in the ring is different to what Olympian such as Phelps or Bolt.

  • Jeckyl says:

    @ P4P

    Is Floyd and Manny an amateur? Are we talking professional boxing here? You know the difference right. Amateur and professional boxer can fight in the Olympics but they have to abide by the Olympic rules because you represent a nation. When you fight as professional boxer then, the country or a state have their own governing body for boxing, that is why Nevada has different ruling, same as in Texas or California. That’s why they have different boxing commission in different state or country. So, if you allow Olympic style testing it can complicate with the state boxing commission who has different testing procedure and vice versa. You got caught cheating in the Olympics you are banned for life or a period of 4 years.

  • Alex says:

    Got this from yahoo sports. I found it entertaining. This boxing writer answers a fans question.

    Do you really think Floyd Mayweather Jr. should be given credit for taking a fight with Sugar Shane Mosley? I don’t think Floyd would have taken this fight if he wasn’t forced to do so. His back was against the wall on this one. If he didn’t fight Shane, he’d be labeled a coward for ducking opponents. In short, he had no way out. That’s just my opinion. He’s probably wishing he had announced an earlier fight with a cherry-picked opponent with the likes of Paulie Malignaggi.

    Will Avestro
    San Diego

    Will, I’m not sure I get your logic. He negotiated to fight the No. 1 pound-for-pound guy in the world. When that fight couldn’t be made, he didn’t take a fight with someone like Clottey; he took a bout against the No. 3 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. What does he have to do to please some of you people? If he doesn’t take the fight you want him to take, you label him a chicken. If he does, you say he didn’t want to. He hasn’t been pushed much since moving to welterweight and that’s a blight on his career. But he’s now insisting he’s taking on all comers and he’s proving that by his actions. I’ll be the first to scream bloody murder if he attempts to fight lightly regarded guys from other divisions. But when he signs to fight the elite guys in his weight class, he should be commended. And here’s another strange thing: Right around Christmas, when the drug testing dispute between Mayweather and Pacquiao became public, Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum said publicly he was trying to arrange a fight with Malignaggi. Aren’t you being hypocritical for criticizing Mayweather for even thinking of that without criticizing Pacquiao for the same thing?

  • vinny says:

    Sorry Paul Williams, my last comment was meant for Lex-fugitive.

  • vinny says:

    @Paul Williams: So you’re telling me that you have proof he doesn’t use it fight night? I’m throwing it out there and accusing him of using Xylocaine fight night so it must be true right? I would rather have Manny agree and take the tests, but don’t hold it against him because it isn’t against the rules. Accusations are just accusations and mean nothing without proof. So I can’t hold it against Manny, but PBF is just using this drug platform to run away from $40million and is trying to blame it on Manny. I love boxing and if you were really Paul Williams you would be calling PBF a coward for not wanting to fight you too.

  • USMC says:

    @lex_fugitive: Mayweather himself along with Sr.,Roger and Delay hoya are questionable themslves.

  • Alex says:

    Damn! Manny’s fans comment on Floyd’s articles more than Floyd’s fans. It seems like Manny’s fans are more obsessed with Floyd than Manny.

    I just watched Manny’s fight with Cotto again. How the hell does the suppose smaller guy come into the fight looking bigger than the supposed bigger guy?

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To lex, currently all USADA random drug testing to ALL OLYMPIANS are urine testing. NO BLOOD!!! That is absolutely 100% true.

  • JOSH says:

    Mayweather just explained a more sophisticated version of how he will be making himself worthy of being avoided by Pacquiao.
    Instead of just saying He wants to fight pac at all cost as he use to say he’ll beat Pac easily, he is now orchestrating the necessary steps on how not to make a fight with the Pacman.

    That is how a scared Floyd is unless there are fools he can fool.

  • lex_fugitive says:

    Bobby;
    Manny’s trainer trained James Toney when he tested positive TWICE for PEDs. Not too mention Top Rank, who Margacheato worked for. Manny is around people with questionable backgrounds. And you can try and convince yourself Manny is clean but the vast majority of people believe differently.

  • NaiveIsStupidity says:

    @Paul Williams,please dont tarnish Paul Williams name by using it and defending Floyd. Paul Williams will become one of the greatest! Paul Williams will make Floyds legacy miniscule! Stop using Paul Williams name! Paul Williams is greater than Floyd!

  • lex_fugitive says:

    Vinny;
    Xylocaine is legal in all 50 states. It really is. A fighter can’t use it for a week before the fight. This is the same in every state. By not using for a week, it has no effect on fight night. It’s used to avoid hand injuries in training. But hey, it sounds better when you lie and say its illegal outside of Nevada! By the way, 6 of Floyd’s last 13 fights have been outside Nevada. But if you only tell the truth, its hard to downplay Floyd’s accomplishments.

  • P4P says:

    @ Jeckyl

    The last time I check Boxing is in the Olympics

    Oscar Delahoya is called the Golden Boy so is his promotion because he won an Olympic gold medal Floyd Mayweather won a bronze.

    So what are you saying

  • lex_fugitive says:

    lapu lapu;
    The head of the USADA, Travis Tygert, has publicly said that “blood and urine are needed to determine if a fighter is clean.” He goes on the say that most PEDs that would help a boxer the most can only be detected with blood tests.

    And of course Mayweather should demand a bigger cut of the purse. When you constantly outperform someone in revenue for your fights, you should get more. Let’s wait and see how well Pacquiao-Clottey does. Mayweather got over a million PPVs in his last fight where he was a heavy favorite. Thats all the more impressive considering it was shown in theaters all over the US and none of those counted, the theater sales were supposedly better than expected too. Everyone except the die-hard Pacfans believe he’s juicing. Pacquiao can continue to duck Floyd. But Manny won’t fight any top fighters or take any random blood tests. Which justs ruins his reputation and taints his entire career.

  • vinny says:

    @Paul Williams: You should tell your boy PBF to take a fight in Texas so there is no chance he will be using xylocaine fight night.

    I agree with USMC, I wouldn’t want a guy like PBF on my side, you can see fear in his eyes and hear lies coming from his mouth to cover up his fear.

    @USMC: What’s up devil dog? I’m a corpsman, thanks for serving brother.

  • lapu lapu says:

    USADA backs up urine testing. Pacman wanted to give unlimited urine testing so why the hell Floyd still didnt want that ?? Could it be hes really scared of Pacman ??

  • vinny says:

    PBF isn’t going to matter once Mosley whoops him. I think Mosley, even at 38, is too strong and just as fast as PBF. PBF got mad skills, but Mosley has more impressive wins on his resume and I think is hungrier (eye of the tiger baby). I’ll give PBF props for actually signing the contract to fight a legit WW. Then again he had no choice, otherwise he would’ve looked like a coward. In the end he’s going to be on the sidelines watching Mosley vs Pac.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To P4P, i agree what you say. Floyds doesn’t like an all out brawl and he will problems with fighters with a high work rate and even worse, a southpaw. But it would make an interesting to see the different styles work in a ring.

  • run like floyd says:

    Paul Williams,

    Boxer’s that take a chance get’s hit. That is an exciting boxer. People watch exciting boxers.Manny Pacquiao is an epitome of a exciting boxer.No ands, buts and ifs.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To P4P, my favorite fighter of all time is Roberto Duran. That guy fought like there was no tomorrow. He is the reason why I really started to watch boxing. When I saw Manny, immediately I thought I was watching Roberto Duran…seriously. And many boxing experts already compare Manny to the great Roberto Duran.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Paul, those people have connections to using PED’s. How about Manny? Who or what is he linked too? Provide prof not innuendos. If you don’t know, ask a court judge about proofs and evidence and the importance of them.

  • lacem up says:

    roy jones junior WAS the best fighter of this generation ..now its another junior ..umm whats his name, FLOYD something or other !!floyd retired and handed the torch to pachiou …he been beating up bums ever since !!

  • P4P says:

    @ Bobby
    exactly they are just two different type of fighters both good at there styles. Most casual fight love to see the all out brawl there are more exciting and will give that to Manny. A fighter fight there strengths and brawling is not one of Mayweathers strengths. This is why he won’t do it, Sugar Ray Leonard vs Reberto Duran, Duran won the first fight an all out brawl Leonard the second which he boxed. Are Paquiao fights more exciting definitely but if they meet it all depends on who fights the others fight (Leonard vs Duran)

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To P4P. Ali late regretted the things he did when he was the best in boxing. Ali thought fought wars and brought excitement to his fights. He didn’t avoid other fighters. But his trash talking ways did hurt his image later on but he did make up for what he did. Later, he even tried to make peace with Frazier and offer his apologies but what Ali did to Frazier was one of the worse backstabbing in boxing history. I think people like Ali now because he doesn’t run his mouth anymore due to his disease and they feel sorta sorry for him. But he has made a full 360 turn, and Ali has made it known, he regrets that things he did.

  • Paul Williams says:

    It’s also highly plausible that B. Bonds used, McGwire, and Clemmens. Thats why they have * next to their names for ever for Possible cheating. Manny in the same boat now.

  • Paul Williams says:

    USMC xylocaine legal for use in all 50 states for training, not actual fights, that is why a fighter must stop using it 7 days before the fight. I know us Navy are smarter than you guys, but d@mn bro, try reading what I said. Legal in all 50 states, any, and i repeat any fighter who chooses to use it must stop 7 days prior to any and every fight. DVR works great, try using yours.

  • JesusJones says:

    Nicely placed BORIS!

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To Paul Williams, possible is not proof. For example it is possible your mother had an affair. Would you make your mom take a lie detector test to prove to you that your Mom has ever been unfaithful. Bro…don’t buy into hearsays and what ifs, it is not the way people should think…only cynics think this way.

  • Jeckyl says:

    @ P4P

    This athlete you mention does different training program. They exert energy on their on phase and does not forcely lose energy because they are not getting punch so, they can reserve or use it all in one burse. Boxing is totally different training program and you can lose all your energy in one punch alone not to mention being at the ring for 36 minutes. So, if you have swollen muscles or numbness in your muscles, it can give you problem with co-ordination on your body and can be an advantage to opponent.

  • Paul Williams says:

    Pac fans respect Floyd skills, but the heart of what goes to pac lol? Are you kidding me? The only reason pac has to battle so hard is because he has weak defense, he gets hit often and alot. When you know how to fight, you don’t get hit, so you never find your self in a death match like Marquez brought to pac.

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To P4P again, I think you will also like to say to Floyd to shut up and fight. I know Manny will comply easily.

  • Paul Williams says:

    USMC PAC IS A POSSIBLE PED USER, WOULDN’T WANT HIM IN BATTLE WITH ME EITHER. A COWARD CAN CAN STILL PULL THE TRIGGER, PUT A DRUGGIE ONLY LOOKING TO PULL SOMETHING TO THEIR MOUTH OR VEINS.

  • lapu lapu says:

    USADA backs up urine testing…the truth hurts, huh ? Go ahead and google it…

  • Bobby Bagoong says:

    To P4P, I think it is a consensus even from the Manny fans, they respect Floyds skills, he is absolutely a pedigree, more than Manny. But the heart of a warrior definitely falls on Manny. I think you and I just want to see them fight with no stupid a$$ stips. In fact, I think you believe Manny provides a more exciting fight to watch. The kind of fight that you are standing a glued to the tv set. Most of Manny’s fight are just like that, an all out fight to the end. But Floyd, OMG with all his skills and great boxing IQ, damn…his fight is hard to watch. I remember my friends and I went outside to talk and drank some beer cuz the fight with JMM was boring but definitely Floyd put on a clinic. But it was so boring to watch. Most of my buddies went out for a smoke during when Floyd was fighting. It was no disrespect to Floyd but he doesn’t posses excitement in his fights. I guess you can say Floyd approaches his fights like a chess match while Manny is an all out war. Anyway, I do have respect to your opinion, I dont’ really think you do by all Floyds words. In fact I think you think he might be a little bit of a scumbag.
