@TeddyAtlas, Thanks.
Funny thing about Floyd Mayweather Jr’s fans is that they love bashing Manny Pacquiao and how easy of a fight he would be. how he’s just another ordinary fighter.
At least Floyd Jr. acknowledges how great Manny Paquiao is. Well at least now he does. Not like before on how one dimensional and how easily Manny can be defeated.
Don’t believe me, go back and listen from 1:31 to 1:47.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. said that Pacquiao was an ordinary fighter and now an EXTRAORDINARY fighter.
It’s like saying, “I ain’t going in the ring with that dude. Are you crazy, that dude is EXtRAORDINARY. He ain’t human”…………….. LOMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Floyd Jr. just called Manny “THE $HIT” by accident cause his mind was a bit slower than his own mouth, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight will never happen because the latter is scared of the former. Mayweather did not answer directly the question if that fight will happen. He insisted he want to clean the sport that people in the right mind will obviously not believe.
All Mayweather has to do is drop his demand for the Mayweather style blood testing and the fight is on. There are countless fights going on in every weight class from club fighters to the world famous fighters we all know. The only one having Mayweather blood tests from here on are Mayweather fights, because he backed himself into a corner and has no choice but to fight under those conditions from here on.
Swinger, it was not “A” random blood test. It was an “unlimited” amount of random blood tests. He did agree to have 3 of them including one immediately after the fight. And that was 3 more than required by the the NSAC, the agency who licensed both boxers. Pac agreed to unlimted and random urine drug testing with no cut off date. Mayweather never insisted on a single blood test for any of his 40 previous fights. All of a sudden he becomes the champion of boxing drug testing overnight? He was looking for an excuse to get out of fighting Pac and he found it.
“IM just trying to clean up the sport of Boxing” Because there is nothing like a cheat is there Floyd?. Try coming into fights at the contracted weight and not putting pain killing drugs on your hands, then come back and attempt to do the winners dont take Drugs speech, So full of S!!T its not true!.
Everyone can have their theories as to why but the simple fact is this.
Manny chose not to have a random blood test for drugs and the fight was off. Simple as.
whether pacquiao is on peds or not, mayweather is just truly scared of pacquiao..i’m sure that in people’s hearts of heart it maybe pacman’s or mayweather ‘s fans that these accusation of taking roids was simply just a tool of scaping from the fight…
@ anun im a floyd fan and I donate blood all the time. as a matter of fact I have donated and turned around and played in basketball tournaments about an hour later. I know there is a difference in the two sports but a 14 day or even 2 day turnaround is sufficient time. so once again stop it
You guys telling as Pacquiao walk away from 40 million dollars? –
Pacquiao doesn’t need the money, He had it already! but his dignity is more valuable than freaking money. If Floyd wants to fight him really, is to go and agree with the NSAC rules and regulations not making up your own rules.
And on the interview, Jamie Foxx question him if this fight will gonna happen? He didn’t want to answer the question? That means that he is making excuses?
C’MON FLOYD, MAKE THE FIGHT HAPPEN!
How many people actually believe that PBF was doing it for the greater good of boxing? I think he started the whole accusation to give himself an excuse to back out of the fight, if Manny agreed to 14 days he probably would’ve said 10 days. Now he has no choice, but to test everyone else under the disguise of cleaning up boxing. If he truly felt like he had to be the person to clean up boxing he should’ve done this a long time ago with all the other fighters he has fought, not just all of sudden when he’s going to fight a man who is a threat to his coveted zero. I do agree that boxing does need to implement stricter drug testing policies, but don’t believe that was PBF’s goal when he made his accusations.
To clear up some of the ideas about Xylocaine, he would use it before a fight, it causes a numbing effect on whatever part of the body they inject it. So if he uses it on his hands, that would cause his hands to feel no pain giving an unfair advantage to the fighter using it. Imagine not feeling the effects of throwing your hands 100 times a round full force at someones head or body.
No true boxing fan will deny Floyd Jr the skills he posses. We all agree that he has the gift.
Floyd fans, listen again from 1:31-1:47 and understand the true psychological advantage Manny Pacquiao has over Floyd Jr. He will champion what he started because the truth is out in the open plain and simple. Imagine Floyd Jr playing hide and seek. You are about to find his hiding spot. You are very close. So close that he is sweating trying to stay still and quiet… So he doesn’t get caught, he throws a rock in a different direction and hits an iron fence creating a loud noise. The seeker then walks away and investigate where the loud noise was coming from. Floyd Jr is now able to breathe and relax enough not to be discovered and win to play again another day. No doubt he will play again as long as he does not play with that guy.
If you unofficially call out and do a random poll on American athletes and ask the what they think of Mayweather championing on cleaning up the sports world, what do you think they will say?
Now you officially get a poll with American athletes with name and all, clean or cheaters, how many do you think will come out the woods to play along with Mayweathers egotistical dreampipes? Clean or not, do you think it’s proper business and would their PR managers and publicist allow them that kind of exposure. I would say the struggling ones needs exposure and even call out the underachievers like they’ve done some things in their career.
Behind close doors, how many American athletes do you think is saying that Floy Jr is just one scared puppy?
Behind closed doors, how many American athletes clean or not are saying ‘Who the F#$K Floyd think he is”?
In a politically correct world, Floyd’s rants would be welcome by those who’s always looking for the ‘Movement’. How many people do you think are in the bandwagon about the whole global green movement? If you ain’t, not only that your not hip but a planet hater. Simple laveling. People and majority of them are always riding off that politically correctness like it’s the way of the world. There is a major flaw in this mentality cause it only feed a certain objective and it’s never the middle or the whole.
In Floyd Mayweather Jr’s political correctness, it only feeds his own agenda. Jamie Foxx is happy to have him in his show. Makes a great rating that’s for sure. True journalist asking the proper question? Not even close. Cheer leading and fanning the flames, you bet your arse.
When someone lies to soften up a situation and you already said that it’s okay and have moved on. Yet the person continues with his excuses to make thing better. Not even apologetic but just wanting you to believe that he’s sincere so he continue to keep pushing until you believe him. It sure looks like it from 16 thousand miles away.
Everyone has moved on. Floyd Mayweather Jr is still pushing the issue to everyone. Media have stopped a while back and have moved on as well( except for this place ). So why is Floyd still campaigning this issue? Because he’s smart enough to know that the road will lead him back to Manny Pacquiao, plain and simple. Got to keep the fire lit so he will not have to make excuses when their road meets again.
Swallow that!
@Graham and Olin: You don’t like what I wrote, don’t read it. Here’s a suggestion. Why don’t the two of you exchange phone numbers or emails. Then you can get together and date each other.
You look at these sites like 9 year olds. Don’t they have a playground near where you live. Go there. I am telling you, you would have fun. You have nothing to say about the matter good or bad, just want to make idiotic comments that just show to everyone on this site your ignorance and lack of education. What do you do? Cashiers at KMart?
Go ahead. Insult. Use your text slang of “LOL” or whatever. Whatever rocks your boat. Knock yourselves out. But really, both you guys have a lot in common. I am serious. You should exchange emails and get together. I mean it. You will thank me later. Have fun with each other. bye
oh no!
and again
Thanks Onin,
I was going to make fun of you but I’ve had my laugh with “commonsense”, that’s enough for the day.
Thank you and am off;)
that smiley… just type semi-colon and parenthesis ; ) without the space
oh… and one more thing…
Pacquiao – NIKE endorser… nice
I’ve never seen “commonsense” take up so much space! LOL.
Floyd will never fight Pac. He admitted his is afraid to fight him. He admitted he is afraid of getting hurt. His father said exactly that in an interview. They justified that by saying he was on juice and that “even the best can get hurt if they fight someone with dope in his system”. But whether Pac is clean or not, May is afraid to fight him. Look at it this way, Pac is either on drugs or he is not. If he is on drugs then the reason he is such a great fighter is because he is a cheater. He is still an awesome scary fighter, but he does not deserve any accoladeds because he is only great because of the dope. But he is STILL a scary fighter, albeit a fake one. Floyd is afraid to face such a fighter. He is afraid of getting hurt.He does not want to have to face such a fighter and it is not fair. OK, now let’s look at the other example. If Pac is NOT taking any drugs. If Pac is clean, THEN, IN THAT CASE, HE IS THE EXACT SAME FIGHTER THAT MAY SR. SAID HE WAS AFRAID FOR HIS SON TO FIGHT. The only difference is that May Sr was mistaken and he is just that good from talent and hard work and dedication. So now all of a sudden that he proves he is clean, he is not afraid to fight him anymore? Why? He is the EXACT SAME FIGHTER that May admitted in an interview that he was afreaid for his sone to fight.
A real fighter who had the confidence in himself that May claims to have would not walk away from $45M and would just fight Pac anyway, with or without roids, it wouldn’t make any difference, just like ODH knocked out Vargas when Vargas was on roids. He was that much better and it didn’t make a difference. Do you really think May would care if JMM was taking roids if they had a rematch or do you think he would go ahead and fight him again anyway. hmmmm
Onin,
Hey! How did you get that smiley on the end of your sentence?
Floyd are you going to stop Xylocaine to clean up the sport?
Pacquiao – P4P king, Fighter of the Decade, Fighter of the Year (for 3 years in the last 4 years)
Floyd – … (dunno)
Ohh, how he wish he had Pac’s awards… He must be so green with envy!
smoovone, Pac did not refuse to take a $40M drug test. Get your facts straight. He agreed to tak unlimited and random urine drug tests with no cut off date. He even agreed to take 3 blood tests, one at press conference, one 24 days out and one immediately after the fight, even though not required by the commission just to appease Mayweathe. Also Mayweather shoots xylocaine into his hand immediately before walking into the ring so I am sure that would be considered LESS than 7 days before the fight, right? The new urine testing is more accurate than blood testing anyway. I agree that fighters should be tested, but they should be tested with a non invasive testing procedure that does not interfere with their training or their ability to perform in the fight. We, the fans want to see the fighters at their best, not fighters who have been weakened or distracted or harrassed during their training by unnecessary invasive blood tests that cause them to come in at less than 100%. BLOOD TESTING IS OBSOLETE! Maybe a few years ago blood testing detected things that urine could not, but not anymore. The new advances in urine testing make drug testing obsolete. Even hair follicle testing is better although more expensive. I agree with the testing, but get rid of the invasive testing. It is outdated. Mayweather only wants it because he wants to screw with Pac’s training because he knows it bothers Pac big time but it doesn’t bother May one bit. So he is exploiting that difference. You really buy that story of Mayweather all of a suddent waking up one day and deciding to become the spokesperson in boxing for cleaning up the sport? Funny how he had that thought right before the Pac fight and did not say peep for all 40 fights before.
Floyd thinks and moves the same way.Does he have a clue that
no matter how hard he try to sell Pacquiao is on PED the more he is sounding like on dope? Pinoys doesn’t even knows about that drugs until Floyd’s father introduce it like a subtle salesmanship at work.that is the main reason a suit is now in court b/c of this undying accusation and entreprenuership of it.mosley should get really serious in fighting and beating Floyd’s a–,If he do he is a better than Floyd trying to champion a clean boxing sport but forgetting to clean his act.
what PBF is demanding is a big disappointment to the sport of boxing..
if blood testing is allowed two/one day
before the fight then we will see fighters
who are less effective and boring to watch.. just like pakman during his 1st fight w/ morales…
i donated blood myself and i know d effects on my body… all you floyd fans why don’t you try it, be a donor sometime.
@smooveon,
PBF is destructing himself not us, Filipinos. You are completely right we are honorable people and will not say something bad even to our adversary.
Speaking of googling Manny why dont we all try this ? Then google Floyd Meayweather. Now count how many new things are listed about each one of them and the dates.You want to talk popularity ? Mayweather doesn’t compare ! And the only new listings with Floyds name is where he his saying something about Pacquiao.Floyd says he doesn’t need Pac ?? really!

after listening to this video its clear to me that Floyd said MANNY is using drugs thus the reason he’s been winning ……..How stupid can Mayweather be ……..facing a law suit the last thing he should be doing is opening his big mouth on a TV program…….As much as I would enjoy watching these two fight now I would enjoy seeing Manny take out Floyd in court more……..cause becoming broke would do more damage to Mayweather then getting Koed in the first round of any fight………..Am also curious where is Floyd Sr been thur all of this ? in Hiding ?
Lacem Up,What utter nonsense you are talking.
Steroids do not improve your skill level and take you from normal to exceptional,they don’t improve your co-ordination or all of a sudden give you a variety of punches.To achieve this you have to train hard and totally dedicate yourself.
Jamie Fox seemed as if he couldn’t wait to get Floyd alone in a Hotel room(so disappointing how he fawned over him) and i suspect you’d be peeping through the keyhole.
Floyd is exposing Manny. He is smart, as he lets Jamie fox make the accusations.
Manny has no creditbility.
It was the worst mistake Manny ever made. By not taking tests he becomes non-relevant except to Pinoys.
I have to give Filipinos credit in that they will defend their hero no matter what. But Filipinos are losing credibility, just like Pacquiao, by spreading lies about Mayweather. I thought Filipinos were supposed to be honorable people.
What you Filipinos should be doing is counting your blessings that America allows Pacquiao to make millions of dollars in this country.
Hey Nanc, get a clue dude.
1) xylocaine is NOT illegal in ANY state if taken over 7 days b4 a fight. Don’t know why people keep bringing this up.
2) Floyd has fought outside of Nevada 24 times in his career.
This XYLOCAINE assault came about from Filipinos in an attempt to dirty up Floyd, because Pacquiao refused to take a $40 million dollar drug test.
Xylocaine is NOT illegal in Nevada. Stop with the lies people.
to all the Pacquio fans I have two questions. 1. How many “giants” did Pacquio fight? Answer 2. Cotto and De La Hoya. 2. How many “midgets did Floyd fight? Answer 2. JMM and Hatton. So don’t try to make it like Pacquio has made a career out of slaying giants and Floyd has made a career of fighting smaller men. Pacquio ducked Sugar Shane and all of you know it because Shane called out Pacquio before he ran up in the ring with Floyd and he even conceded to whatever Pacquio wanted and even offered to fight at 143. So lets stop acting like emotional school girls and deal with facts.
Floyd has got it wrong about manny! Pacman was 16 when he started proffesional, he was practically a boy. At 16 he was not the age of full strength; this is why in his first fights he won on points. Evan still he beat 21 yr olds! Manny has gone through boxing the hard way and that is why he is exceptional. Manny is not taking drugs, its just sheer hard work from a very young age.
floyd spoke nonsense because it can be taken right after the fight that pacman want. if pacman take drug it can be detected right after the fight. but those alibi floyd is figure in him that he is afraid of pacman.
@ nanc
1) xylocain is Not illegal in ANY state if taken over 7 days b4 a fight. Don’t know why people keep bringing this up.
2) Floyd has fought outside of Nevada 24 times in his career.
3) Yes Floyd initially wanted the random tests up until fight night but Pac only wanted to do 3 and with a 30 day cutoff before the fight. Floyd then tried to meet him halfway at 14 days but even that wasn’t good enough. The only reason Arum and co. agreed to go 24 days was because they were caught on film giving blood 24 days before the Hatton fight. Hope i answered these questions for ya.
mayweather attended the superbowl to supposedly advertized and hyped his coming fight against mosley but all he talked was paquiao bla bla bla..why? instead of talking about plans and strategy on how to handle mosley..i don’t undertand..
some fighters used enhancing drugs and floyd mayweather jr is one of them – FACT. why the interviewer didn’t ask these questions to mayweather:
1. why he’s taking xylocaine before his every fight?
2. why he always want his every fight in nevada where jones offered a sure 25 million to stage the fight?
3. mayweather initially demanded a complete random blood testing right the day before the fight then later changed to a 14 days cut off, why?
his arse has dropped………..and i dont know why coz i think he will win. i think manny will bum rush him for the 1st couple of rounds then floyd will drop him like he did marquez. then manny will get reckless and floyd will pick him off easy. i hope SSM dont blow the fight by winning floyd but i cant see it unless he gets lucky. maybe wud have been a closer fight a couple of years ago. FMJ just too silky for a 38 yr old bull
bye bye majid!
floyd is right, the sport of boxing has too many athletes taking steroids including Manny pacquiao and Shane Mosley. Blood tests should start being administered for every fighter!!!
majid,
If you can’t defend your comments please don’t make them. Let that be a lesson to you.
Graham you need to get a life. De la hoya come on man Mayweather knew it was a ride in the park, match willaims reach, work rate to De la hoya.
@ majid
How about ODLH @ 154.
majid,
You’ve got nothing, just accept it. Paul Williams is not the bigger guy you are looking for, so whose next?
(Continued) it would of been nice seeing Floyd fight a bigger guy for a change rather than the usual small guys that we have got so use to.
@Graham
I was talking to Alex Geez just so you get off my case what i was saying is De la Hoya was considered to be a risk and Pacquiao still took him on jumping up 3 weights knowing it was a risk. Willaims was hot b4 the quintana defeat, and after he avenged the defeat people thought he had a bad night the first time out, and still had the same credibility, and was still a threat so im talking about b4 martinez when he still had the credibility mayweather could of moved up in weight just like pacquiao did and took a similar risk aginst Willaims. Sure floyd might of won but he still would of been taking a risk going into the fight. Get it. Hope so.
ALL THIS DUMD BS. THE BOY NEEDS TO TAKE THE DAMN TEST THEN GO KICK FLOYDS ASS IF HE CAN.
Onin,
Hey! You could have made a much more interesting line there, you’ve got Duck and featherweight. Those words are just begging to be played with.
Phoocquiao,
You are going off on a tangent now. This is about boxers taking it upon themselves to implement an olympic-style random blood testing procedure. Nobody is talking about the commission sanctioning the tests and making them mandatory.
majid,
So you are saying Mayweather should have fought Williams before the Quintana rematch and before the fight with Martinez?
I don’t think it would have made any difference, Williams still struggled with Martinez, and Mayweather is a billion billion billion billion times better at that style of fighting than Marinez.
It doesn’t matter when Mayweather should have taken a fight with Williams, Williams was always going to lose.
Oh i got it wrong, Floyd isnt just having a go at Pacman hes actually a hero saviour who wants to clean up drugs in sport in general.
Damn never knew he was being so brave and all that.
You know hes full of it, hes a chicken and to be honest with the way hes been over the years, so desperate to be loved, so desperate to be rich, so desperate to be successful and so desperte to be seen as the king of the ring with a 0 record, I THINK MAYWEATHER IS MORE LIKELY TO RESORT TO DRUGS THAN PACMAN.
Its the American way.
@ Graham. Naw, it’s still unrealistic. What about fighters starve and dehydrate themselves to make weight for fights? That’s too much of a health risk for the commission to make it mandatory.
Floyd : zero loss but zero credibility; ‘can’t believe you believe this money greedy liar.
Why is Mayweather still singing the same old tune when in fact he is now facing Mosley? Is it because of his drug testing issue and his suppose 40 million vanished in the mist? I guess he’s just too scared to face Pacman as he is used to facing smaller fighter like Hatton who had to add 7lbs. from 140 lbs to 147lbs. just to face Mayweather at welterweight and Marquez from 135lbs. to 144lbs. and the fact that on fight night, Mayweather cheated by weighing 2 more pounds, in addition, Mayweather used Xylocaine which is banned by 49 states during the fights. Now who is a real cheater?
Floyd you have to clean up your own backyard before you accuse Pacman who was never tested positive of using illegal drugs in his entire boxing life.
lol let me start again, b4 the Martinez fight, and the rematch he had with quintana which he won impressively.
Graham
I was talking before the Quintana fight and the rematch he had with quintana which he won.
Wayne,
You are being childish.
Phoocquiao,
Like i was saying, they need to make the costing clear and should come out with these details as soon as possible. They also need to stick to one type of test i.e. olympic-style random blood test, not negotiated scheduled tests this will just bring confusion. It is also important for the credibility of the test results that they use an independent testing agency like the USADA, or the NSAC if they are setup and willing to do it.
Yo Junior
Pac from a Cotto fight, Roach’s keys for Floyd, they are ever so ready to blast that shoulder away and to his cheeks. But for 40M, it is all worth for Floyd to lose that zero.
I don’t doubt he got scared of Pac. A year of layoff then had to cheat a tiny JMM… got to come up with that random drugs thing. Backfired, he is lucky to have Mosley.
Grown ass people making EXCUSES to do the right thing? What is the world coming too. Arum is getting all the paper and he don’t have to throw one punch. No one questions the Ring Leaders just there representatives. CHUMP POLITICS…. I hope Clottey gets in this picture and throws a wrench in all this as the world turns BS….
Phoocquiao,
It’s happening already, and it seems to be working. We already have one suspected PED user, Manny Pacquiao. And Mosley has accepted the test which will set a good example of what to do. Hopefully more boxers will follow suit.
He may be trying to clean up the sport, but unless he goes to the commission and has them enforce random testing, it’ll never happen. I mean, you don’t leave the drug policy of a sport in the hands of the athletes.
Can you imagine if Baseball took that approach and let the players determine the drug policy? All records would be shattered.
majid,
Mayweather would be too much for Paul Williams. Williams had problems with Qunintana and Martinez, do you really think he has a chance against Mayweather?
it’s not that I am the biggest Floyd fan in the world but pacquiao should be held responsble for this fight not happening and the cloud of suspicion over his phd use is his own fault. I honestly do not believe he uses anything like that but he brought upon himself by refusing the blood tests. This whole suspicion thing came into the public eye only after he ran away from the testing. When the random blood testing was first brought up pacman didn’t try to negotiate or anything, he declared the fight off right away. If he would have just agreed to the testing or quietly tried to negotiate none of this would habe ever came to the public. Honestly who really pays attention to the mayweathers and all the trash they talk. They could have said a million times pacman wa son steroids before this and nobody would even mention this. But atfer pacman literally runs away from the fight over this people started doubting and you van’t blame anybopdy for that. You’re talking about a 30-40 million dollar payday over a bloodtest. And I hate to say it but it’s hard to believe Pacquiao. First arum publicy said he won’t do it because he is scared of needles. We know it’s not true because pacman has a bunch of tatoos and even did one himself. Then roach came out and said they have no problem with any kind of testing of all. Then the final excuse was that blood weakens him 30 days before a fight and it was proven he took blood about 21 days before the hatton and still knocked him out cold. Then they held on to the excuse that they loss to morales because blood was taken out a few days before the fight when it’s just not true because morales simple outboxed him and the amount of blood that would be taken out is medically proven to not have any effect days before a fight. NEW BORN babies even go through these tests and they don’t suffer from it. Besides isn’t Pacuqiao recognized as a so called warrior who isn’t afraid of anything? As much as we love pacquia you must either be crazy or be from his home country phillipines to believe he doesn’t have another reason for backing out of this fight. Remember it was him that first threatened to back out and take a fight with paulie and it was him who ultimately backed out and then even try to counter-offer the proposed 14-day cutoff date
@Anonymous
The Fans are the ones who lose!!!!!!!!! Thanx to both fighters and their promotions. You can’t just place the blame on one individual. Unless your just a biased nut-hugger. And if that is the case then go ahead and keep hugging Manny nuts.
@vinny
Going to the commission is a waste of time because the rules are already in place and they can’t change them for one fight. They would have to change it for all fights and back it up with the extra money to do all the extra test. It would have taken to much time and to much money. GBP knew that. Also the head of the commission already stated the Floyd had every right to ask for random test just like Manny had the right to turn it down.
Floyd is scared.
PREJUDICE: is a baseless and usually negative attitude toward members of a group. An opinion or judgment formed without due examination; prejudgment; a leaning toward one side of a question from other considerations than those belonging to it; an unreasonable predilection for, or objection against, anything; especially, an opinion or leaning adverse to anything, without just grounds, or before sufficient knowledge.
Now if a co-worker at your job accused you of taking drugs and demanded you take a drug test, when your boss says you don’t have to take a drug test, would you take that drug test? I’m a boxing fan, but I don’t like the way PBF went about accusing and demanding, he should’ve went straight through the commission instead of the media. It doesn’t matter now, because I think Mosley has got PBF’s number and Pacquiao is going to defeat Clottey. In the end we will see Pacquiao vs Mosley and PBF will be standing on the sidelines broke making a deal to fight Matthew Hatton.
Paul williams been calling Floyd out why don’t floyd go up then cos he know it’s a tough fight, and a chance of losing so don’t go there. Pacquiao jumped up 3 weights to fight De la hoya and was a massive under dog, reagardless of how de la hoya performed, and that he might of been weight drained pacquiao and team wasn’t to know that point is he had the balls to take the fight. Floyd has been a cherry, and fights guys he knows he can beat. Period!!! Marquez, Hatton etc. When is the last time Floyd fought some one at 147 his own weight? i cnt remember, and plz don’t say baldomir.
pacquiao is definitely on PEDs. If a woman you had a one night stand with claimed she was pregnant wouldnt you want a blood test to make sure it was yours? or would you just take her word for it and pay the damned child support?
PEDs
Okay Alex.
if it makes you feel better, your the big winner of it all. Now rejoice.
Pacquiao goes up in weight fights big guys and blasts them out. Floyd picks on small guys, and struggles to blast them out. Cotto still had a chance at 145 even if it was at 147 it would of been a pac win.
@JesusJones
OOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKK. So instead of discussing the issue you decide to go on about your life story. So that pretty much answered my question which is basically that you have no answer. Thanx, now I know that I’m dealing with just another Floyd hater. Have a good life.
Sorry Alex
Wrong guys to say anything about turning down money. I’ve turned down big money more than once. I’m not talking about the kind of money you are talking about but the same in a smaller scale. Did it for the greater good. Did it for longevity. Did it because I can. I remember my business partner and i was invited to NY for a power meeting with suits. My boy and I are L.A. street cats. In our hotel, we decide to not to wear the suits our wive had purchased for this meeting. we decided to walk in laidback at a power suit meeting at the Blue Water Grill. told my boy that we’ve been wanting to do this all our lives. These Mofos want’s our business. it was so bad that the hostess was like ‘Can I help you?’ almost saying ‘Are you guys lost’?, lol! Told them who we were there to meet and man she went to work. let here know also that i had 3 other guest with me from L.A. All she said was Mr???? I will take care of them for you and Mr????? so and so have been waiting.
That’s not even the story I’m trying to get at. By the way, things went well. they wanted our business and made lots of money for the strecth of four years.
Now about turning down the money. like I said twice. not in millions but in the hundreds of thousands respectively. Money my partner and i can easily make but in a longer period of time.
So I apologize. You wouldn’t know principles unless that moment has presented itself to you.
And for you to say that I’m crazy for the things I said. Let me be the one to ask you to leave the first grade class cause your now 18. Of course your going to be smarter than everyone else.
Anybody thats watched Mayweather threw his career watched him duck the very best. Watched him hand pick his opponents and never take a chance of losing a fight againest a great opponent. When the fight was gettin close to gettin done he came up with this random blood testing after he already accused pacquiao of taking steriods. wonder why? He had second thoughts and even though he knows he needs the money ( owes IRS haha) he chicken out. Reality hit in that he might get his spoiled ass knocked out and lose that precise o he talks about at every interview. Pacquiao did the right thing after Mayweather accused hime of taking drugs! Mayweather need Pacquiao to make the money he wants. Pac can continue to fight the best of the welterweights and make his money hes set for life. I deep down think Floyd celebrated when he found out Pac didnt agree to the test. Floyd found his way out of a very dangerous fight and it wont surprise me if somehow he wessels his way out of the Mosley fight. Boxing doesnt need somebody like Floyd. It did great without him!!!
ok doc
Roach did not say Pacquiao don’t wan’t to fight mosley he asked shane to come down a few pounds, just like when mayweather wanted marquez to come up two weights. That was a realistic demand, still giving shane a good chance to win the fight unlike mayweatehr who picked a small guy in marquez made him come up 13 pounds and still come in over required weight gaining all kinds of advantages.
@JesusJones
You make no sense. Only fooling I see is Manny to his fans. Nobody in boxing would out-right refuse random blood test(keyword is RANDOM) because they know what the media will say if they do. Manny is no different. Just because he is a nice guy don’t mean he is above suspicion. I could care less who started the rumor. What I care about is that Manny didn’t do anything to kill it before it got out of hand. This isn’t the type of rumor that goes away on its own. A lawsuit won’t prove anything. As you can tell no gag order was put on the Mayweather’s. Agree to 14-day cut off and their would be no one questioning Manny today. Last I heard Manny took a blood test a few days before the Morales fight which led him to believe he lost because of it. Well 2 weeks of no blood test seem more than enough time. So what would be your reason on why he didn’t take it?
Mayweather done good numbers in the De la hoya fight because De la hoya brought in the buys as he was the star not floyd as he states. He was fairly unknown to the casual fan’s before his fight with De la hoya. I do agree floyd is giving the impression that this Pacquiao dude is one scary monster, and i better be aware there is no more to it we pac fan’s know what goin on. W

Mayweather had the Mayweather foundation long before 24/7. He went around feeding the homeless and poor and talking to at risk youth long before it was on tv. He did all these things and NEVER mentioned it in his interviews. He also gives out big thanksgiving dinners to the poor in his hometown every year. He’s been doing all these things long before 24/7 showed it. But he does it to help people, not to get more media attention. He gets his media attention by fighting the best. It was probably some mayweather plot to have Manny pick a second tier opponent in Clottey too.
Jesusjones;
Yes, saying you’re too good to the #1 welterweight and then going out and fighting someone that is widely reported as being shot, is letting Mosley down gently. And taking a fight against Clottey is letting down Mayweather and Williams gently. Yea, I guess telling the #1 guy he’s too good and going after someone thats not as good, is somehow going after the best. Mayweather taking on the #1 welterweight is stupid. Why is he fighting the best for?? I mean agreeing to gloves, ring size, purse split, special foreign marketer, and $10 million penalty was all part of their plot. By asking Manny to do something he did 9 months before and won in a 2nd round KO, they saw that, and were like, yep, if Manny gives blood we’ll have an easy time with him. Look how it ruined him. you make no sense at all.
mr.sweetsci;
That article claims urine testing is effective but not more effective than blood testing. “Now that blood collection is more common in sports, more parameters could be added.” Which means that with blood testing parameters of different chemicals and there levels can be used to detect different PEDs. This article also reports that HGH can only be detected through blood tests. This article often refers to WADA and the USADA and their testing procedures. The head of both of these agencies state that blood and urine are needed to determine if a fighter is clean. Tygert refers to not just HGH but other PEDs. needing a blood test”…Thats true of a number of prohibited substances, particularly those that would enhance and aid a boxer.” Many of these would be considered gene doping, and as the article you pointed out, points out, there is no urine test for these. So, blood and urine testing are needed. Which is why not even Manny, Arum and Top Rank are saying urine testing is more effective.
You know if I really want to act like a Floyd Mayweather fan, I can start by coming up with all kinds of BS. I’ll even go far and sday things like, the reason they started this campaign against Pacquiao was because the year and the decade was coming to an end. they are going to need to pick a fighter of the year which they know it’s going to Pacquiao. but what about fighter of the decade. How in the hell are we going to get this bright light shinning on Pacquiao and get the sports media to get on my wagon. I know, lets say that he’s taking Steroid. the media should have a frenzy on that one. They will question it and they will vote against him.
Yeah, that’s a great plan. Okay dad, go ahead and launch operation ‘Floyd is The Greatest’ and see how they like them apples.
Nah, LOL!!!!! That’s too much. It’s safer to say that fear has strangled and shook the man to his core.
Again, listen to the interview. listen to him say something about how fighter gets old and they decline. He’s a bit older than Manny so is he saying that his skill have declined.
Interviews like this a gold to people like me. It’s more than what’s in front of you if you can just listen and disect his words.
So now Mosley is 38. Is he himself saying that he is no longer the Mosley of the past because when you get old, your skills decline.
Floyd is clever. Clever enough to fool his own fans.
Who Dat
Ever heard of sarcasm.
Shane: Come on let me fight him.
Roach: Nah, you’re too good.
Meaning: Letting him down without hurting his feelings.
Man, Floyd fans needs a bit of maturing or what.
Watch the video again and listen to the man get scared. Unfortunately, Floyd fans are to smart to be tricked by him, LOL!
Floyd has found the key ingredient in avoiding this mega fight with Pacquiao.
Floyd knows that taking blood from Pacquiao is his Kryptonite. He is going to exploit this because this sis his way out.
All you Floyd fans heard it from the horses mouth himself. He called Pacquiao ordinary and now extraordinary. That is a statement you Floyd fans should be paying attention too. He’s simply saying that Pacquiao is one scary monster, lol! Floyd is clever but he ain’t no genius, but clever is all you need when the people you’re fooling are the ones around and near you. And from reading here and there, Floyd’s followers are exactly College material.
And Jamie Foxx, expensive suits and a god given talents does not give you class. Bird of a feather flock together as they say.
Floyd is insecure and messed in the head, and its obvious he jealous of pacquiao and trying his best to humiliate him. He’s fighting shane because he needs the money and that is the next big money fight to feed his gambling addiction, and love for a flashy life style. You spend more than you earn end result your guna end up broke its common sense, won’t be long till he runs out again. How can Pacquiao become great so late in his career? Floyd thinks its impossible. well how did a 43 year old B-Hop school Pavlik, and the same could be sid of mosley when beating Margarito, a guy who Floyd incidently ducked for years. Floyd man up and fight stop making demands and rules that the boxing commission don’t require, you aint boxing your apart of boxing. Pacquiao is is no 1 p4p, has a head, is humble, and a giving person as seen on hbo 24/7 time and time again. Floyd on the other hand is the opposite throws his money to the crowd instead of giving and helping the needy like pacquiao, he only started giving recently because he seen pacquiao do it.
pretty floyed mayweather is the best there was lotta money in pacquia fight but he want to change the rulez for random test……great man if that was anybody else they dont care all they care is about money not respect mayweather is the best
roys,
I am sorry but I can’t understand what you are trying to say.
I love how people who hate Floyd go out of their way to comment on any and every article that is written about him. NEWSFLASH GENIUSES!!!!! The more you comment on Floyd equals the more articles they write about him. The more articles they write equals more exposure Floyd receives. The more exposure Floyd receives equals more money in his pocket. GET A F’N CLUE!!!!!!
graham @ I look at logic ,what you run on feeling?
here a fresh look….. did I shove anything down your mouth? its logic as were all talking about the article what when wrong. dont they call this comments to the article? .. defending my boy didnt I just call pac acting like a littlt boy?
mr.sweetsci,
You can also google “Blood vs. urine”, third from the top on your results list: “Blood vs. urine? USADA clears up fuss over Mayweather-Pacquiao”. The story in there should help clear your doubts about blood testing.
Poor Floyd, he’s just seeking a little attention. Grow up, boy!
How about we all just agree that both are great fighters, and we hope they fight to put things to rest.
Your personal soup opera there was unnecessary…but good for you, I do admire successful humble people (But once again completely unnecessary comment.) As far as Floyd, I must admit never really followed his success but of course after everybody started hearing about him….he was the way he is right now, and continues to be.
Maybe he was humble back then cause he didn’t have as much money. Now that he does, well his true self is coming out.
roys,
So it’s “pride” now. what happened to superstition, feeling weak, and the others. Maybe you Pac fans should get together and agree on one story. Stop switching from one excuse to another.
Even better why don’t you ask Pacquiao to tell you why he won’t take the random blood test. That way you won’t have to make up stories for him.
And please stop saying Pacquiao doesn’t need money, everybody needs money. It’s worse for rich people because the more money they have, the more money they want.
That shows you what type of boxer Manny is…he didn’t care about the money. Boxing is extremely based on a boxer’s pride and heart. I’m sure Floyd is more hurt that the fight didn’t happened (assuming he’s not scare) since he didn’t get his share of the money (which of course he loves).
With that said, I do think he’s right when he said once everything is set and done…nobody is going to help him out financially.
Disclaimer: The last sentence does not mean that I like him..haha
LMAO when he says he’s extraordinary he’s being sarcastic
Also Floyd didn’t start with the bad guy image until he faced the Golden Boy, the person that everyone in boxing loved and respected. People forget Floyd went on a huge limb when he walked away from Top Rank, had it not been for his skills and wins he could’ve been black balled. This is one of the main reasons I’m a fan of Floyd as a person, he walked away from Top Rank and said f it, I’m not going to sign with another company I’ll do this on my own, and in boxing that was and still is unheard of.
Yeah his uncle beating a female is such a great example. If his dad wasn’t good at boxing he would be on the streets. But I understand, he is a good fighter and I’m sure he’s force to do good things so he can look good. But I would respect him more if he changed his image as a fighter.
I look at floyd in this interview and it makes me sick to my stomach. he is such a punk! If you listen to him ,he`s saying packman is extrodiniary at this point of his carrer. If i remember right not to long ago mayweather was saying manny would be a easy fight for him,manny is one diminsional. now he`s out in the public eye agaian he`s running his big bongo lips again. after hiding for a month. manny never had to hide,he stood up to the cameras and told his side. Now mayweather trying to put all blame on manny,just like the punk that he is. why doesn`t he just man up,and take have of his own blame.since manny is so one deminsional,and a easy fight , why didn`t he just agree to the 24 day window ? There are 40 million reasons why he should have.especially since ,like he said it would be such an easy fight.
@Irish
That’s just for 2009, it’s not like either one of them are touching Michael Jordan, Beckhams, or Michale Schumacher’s money so let’s just put that into perspective. Manny had a hell of a year financially but Mayweather fought one time in 09 and made 30million same as Manny but it took him two fights the other 10million came from acting and endorsements. Fact is when Manny loses the money will go with it.
It’s sad but race does have a part to play in this whole Manny Mayweather thing. People see Manny with money and say see that’s how you should act when you get money, People see Floyd and they’re like see how black people act when you give them a lil something. But here’s the thing there’s not a black person who made it rich that was given anything, especially not in America. So yea when one of us make it, it’s normally a big f to the world. I’m far from rich but know i’m a success story coming out of my neighborhood to where I live now and love seeing my neighbors like damn you’re the first black person to ever live on this block
Pac fans just accept it, everybody (including you Pac fans) suspect he is hiding something in his blood. I think it’s PEDs and I have a feeling he has been using them for a long time.
I think getting into the whole country pride talk is worthless and should rather be about the appreciation of the sport. As much as Floyd talks the talk he’s not an exciting fighter and his record against the fighters he’s fought do not equate to what comes out from his mouth. For those followers of Floyd, is their right but I don’t see how they don’t see he’s just full of himself.
Manny is loved not liked by his people and followers. He’s respected, and in return he gives us some of the best fights I’ve seen in my time. So Mayweather sucks and Manny rules!!! and I’m no where close to being a filipino…
latest news is paul william is looking to return to ww 147 lb dont know how he ever make that weight ,he heavy bone, might be skin and bone then . and he is searching for a partner ,so who going to be the taker magorito ? ha if pac would fight mago,paul with in range, he lose power.
@who dat
You just swallowed your own vomit…one mans behavior don’t reflect the entire nation.Don’t shame our country.
Who cares which one makes more money…I’m not getting non of that, so as long as is a good fight I’ll pay for it. Manny has much much more exciting fights that running Floyd. Many is humble while floyd is not. People like Manny, very few like floyd…so on.
On Forbes list Pacquaio is number 4 at 40million for 2009, but where was he in the years before that, but honestly i could care less as to how much either man makes that doesn’t really mean ish. Just cause you make the most money in something doesn’t mean you’re the best, look at NFL, NBA, MLB salaries if you think this isn’t true. My hometown team Redskins have one of the highest team salaries since 1999 and only have 2 playoff games to show for it, lol
Again, I’m no medical expert but according to the head of the USADA, the head of the WADA, and Victor Conte, blood testing is more accurate and can detect some PEDs that urine analysis cannot. These three people definitely know what they are talking about. I have not heard anyone involved in testing or someone who has helped athletes cheat without getting detected say urine screening is more efffective than blood testing. If this were the case, I cannot imagine Manny, Roach, Arum, and Top Rank being silent on this issue. Again the head of two different agencies that test athletes for PEDs and Victor Conte who helped athletes use PEDs without getting caught insist blood testing is far more effective. Conte would base what PEDs he would sell athletes and when according to what kind of testing they would be subjected to and when. He helped numerous athletes, including Mosley and Evander Holyfield. He had experience with both urine and blood testing. Him and the head of the two biggest agencies which perform tests for PEDs all insist that blood testing is far more effective than urine. Not only can blood tests detect certain substances that urine cannot, but traces of drugs stay in one’s blood longer than urine. If there are professionals in the PED testing industry that claim urine analysis is more effective I would like to know who and where they make this claim.
LOL I have to give credit to the people who run this website, whenever Floyd Mayweather name is mentioned it’s almost a sure bet to generate more than 100 posts, then you look at the subjects without him and they’re barely seeing 15 posts. For those that say Manny is this Manny is that, fact is Mayweather is still the one that gets all the attention. How is it his fight is almost a month away and people who mention boxing it’s Mayweather
I can’t wait until he gets old and loses all his money gambling!!! haha His uncle’s son better start getting good pretty soon to support that family….
I really feel sorry and I’m almost weeping for Floyd. He’s been going everywhere 24 hrs/days non-stop, using 200% effort and desperately BEGGING PEOPLE TO NOTICE HIM, but it is the Pacman who is quietly/peacefully preparing himself for his next fight WHO IS GETTING ALL THE ATTENTION AND ADULATION FROM THE PUBLIC. Poor Floyd, I just want to send my condolences to him since he’s looking more and more like a CHEAP EMBARRASSED TRYING SO HARD!
hahaj…….do you even know the meaning of the word worthless? i hope you understand what you just wrote. educated people are not supposed to write those kind of things.
This guy is ignorant!!! And why does he has to refer to himself in a third person….ignorant!!!
@ KentuckyFloydChicken
If you want to talk double-standards then why not look at why Pac didnt ask clottey for a $10mill per pound penalty for coming in overweight, Afterall Clottey hasn’t made weight 11 times in his career. Floyd only done it once and still weighed in under 147.
look who’s talking!!!!!!
to mayweather, Pacquiao will not give you chance for a big payday. you tainted and blemished his reputation. So move on, fight mosley because the pacman will not gve give u a single penny.
manny is make in all you pinoys look worthless o wait you guys are worthless fake pinoy power
Thats funny, He didnt answer the question of Jamie if the fight between him and Manny is gonna happen he instead wanna clean up all sports not only boxing! BWAHAHAHA!!!
@ Irish
I swore he said in the sport of boxing. Didn’t hear him make a generalized comment as to life but I guess people hear what they want. Also, when did you become Pacquiao’s account? Because considering Bob Arum takes 26% of his earnings and then uncle sam hits him, I don’t see him making as much as people would like to believe. Speaking of the IRS they came after Floyd because instead of paying a car note or mortage he decided to pay everything off. Yea you don’t pay interest but it’s a bigger tax hit. Reason why business people buy their cars through their businesses i.e. Jay-z with his Maybach, Floyd just needs to find the loopholes in the IRS that most rich people use.
lex_f…i don’t think floyd is scared to manny and vice versa. i also don’t think the random blood testing issue is to create a level playing field. the mayweather camp knows that manny is not comfortable drawing his blood. i also think that the pacquiao camp made some rediculous excuses not to take the test.
i don`t known TOMPO but i agreed 100% with him.
lex_f….it’s true that some substance can not be detected by urine. one example is alcohol. you can’t detect alcohol through urine. if we have to talk about PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS, urine analysis is far more accurate than blood testing. arum, roach, and manny pacquiao have no knowledge about how things work because it’s not their specialty. people who have knowledge about the subject will tell what’s this and what’s that.
@lex-fugitive
When Cleaning the sport is the subject it means all weight divisions. Not just whoever Floyd fights.It can not be that Mayweather will dictate the regulations.
In term of Pacquiao going to retire that will be his choice.If he is happy of what he’ll get done.Then,its our loss for missing
a promisingly a good fight,as to Floyd its his loss for hyping-up the fight too much that it broke.
The promoters are doing their job to make money,its their deal with their figthers and vice versa. How much they’ll make I don’t care (hope you too).Just bring me good fights,
It will be all good with me.
chicken floyd did not answer the last question of there ever being a fight with the pac man..
floyd is full of it. he just wants to make sure manny and shane aint juiced. there is nothing wrong with that! just tell it like it is.
graham…you’re right. they do blood test for health screening not for PEDs.
I don’t know about all that but the next time I buy a car I want Jamie to be there and co-sign for me.
Funny, for a little guy who’s been accused of taking PEDs and steroids, Pacquiao still remains the smaller guy in the ring. If he’s been on PED’s and ‘roids, I’m surprised why he isn’t fighting in the middleweight division right now, or even Lightheavyweight. Gosh, either these accusations of drug use are a bunch of hogwash, or PED’s and ‘roids just don’t work on Pacquiao!
This I know: Pacquiao will take an Olympic-style blood test if a State Boxing Commission orders it, not because Mayweather “orders” it.
orochimaru,
He probably did it with PEDs!
the people already spoke best boxer of the decade Manny Pacquiao ………………….
gard;
Floyd is allowing and actually calling for stricter testing for him. He never asked Manny or anyone else to take drug tests that he wouldn’t also take. As to mr.sweetsci, neither of us are experts in this field, but the head of the USADA, the head of WADA, Victor Conte, and a friend of Freddie Roach’s with a Ph. D. in biochemistry all agree that blood testing is better than urine analysis, because, according to them- actual experts in this field, there are some substances that can be detected in blood but not in urine. And if urine testing was more accurate, than I would think Arum, Manny, and Roach would all be out informing the media and the public that that’s the case. The fact is they aren’t saying this, but only a few diehard fans on sites like here trying to make excuses for their hero. And no one would have to do the explaining as to why Manny won’t agree to random blood tests, if Manny would come out and tell the people why. But the fact remains Manny and/or Top Rank and/or Roach have given numerous reasons that have been proven lies and Manny didn’t know why he wouldn’t when he was questioned on ESPN. I have no idea if Manny is on PEDs or not. Personally, I think Top Rank and especially Bob Arum did not want to put Manny in the ring with Mayweather. However, its rumored that Manny will retire from the sport of boxing before too long and I believe he will eventually fight Mayweather. There is too much money for everyone involved for it not to happen. I believe Arum wants to milk Manny for as much money as he can and that Arum thinks if Mayweather-Pacquiao were to happen tomorrow, that Mayweather would win easily and that would cause a big drop in revenue for Manny’s future fights. But if he’s going to retire anyway, that will make more money than any other fight and that it will happen. I know some insist Mayweather only wanted the testing because he is scared of Manny. I personally find that hard to believe. But thats what makes this country great and what will make Mayweather-Pacquiao one of the biggest sporting events ever when it happens!!
mr.sweetsci,
They are doing blood tests in the olympics right now, at the Vancouver Games.
Several very important points need to be made for Manny to be given a fair trial so to speak:
1) EVERY SINGLE BOXING WRITER AND PUNDIT has recognised that Manny has improved significantly under Freddie Roach, not through strength, but through ability. Manny has ALWAYS had power in his gloves, but he used to be a very raw, one dimensional talent who threw predictable punches. Roach took him under his wing and has taught Manny an array of punches, so that now offensively he’s a complete fighter who can throw all kinds of combinations for unusual angles. This is what ALL COMMENTATORS, PUNDITS and WRITERS have acknowledged as being Manny’s major improvement. NOT strength.
2)Manny has maintained his strength and speed up the weight divisions because he was having to lose weight and work extra hard to make featherweight/lightweight. From all the various interviews with his conditioning coach and trainer, Manny is a natural light welterweight, so only has to put on a moderate amount of weight to make full welterweight. Roach has said how happy Manny is at Welterweight because he gets to eat regularly and normally, whereas at feather/light he would have to starve himself like many boxers do to make the weight. So you’d expect someone who was previously fighting at a lower weight by starving themselves to be as strong, if not stronger, in their own natural weight class.
3) Mosley is taking the test because the guy is DESPERATE for a big money fight. He’s in no position to say “No”. He’s near the end of his career, and needs the money according to various reports. Manny is in a position to say “No” however, because he’s as big a draw now as Floyd is, if not bigger. And since Manny feels that a blood test disrupts his training regime and doesn’t want it in the 3 weeks leading up to the fight, he can just still Floyd to ‘shove off’. Why should he take a test that the boxing comission aren’t requesting, a test which we don’t know for certain shows anything more than random urine tests? Olympic style testing was introduced back when urine testing techniques and technologies weren’t as good as they are today, so just because the Olympics have it it doesn’t mean it’s the best form of checking for drugs. Football (soccer to you Americans) is the biggest sport in the world, with the World Cup being the biggest sporting event globally, and FIFA/the FA take random and stringent urine tests.
4) Floyd is full of misdirections and contradictions. Let’s get something straight. He publicly stated, on record, that Pacquiao’s victories against Morales, Marquez, De La Hoya, Hatton and Cotto were all unimpressive. He said Manny only beat Morales because he was shot, should have lost to Marquez on the scorecard, beat a heavily weight drained Oscar, that Hatton was unhealthy from the weight loss, and Cotto was shot after the Margarito fight. So according to Floyd, none of these victories were impressive, and they all had reasons for why Manny won. Yet why does he ask for blood tests then? If those victories weren’t impressive, why ask for a test? There’s only two possibilities. The first is that those victories were very impressive, and Manny’s power has worried Floyd to the extent that he thinks Manny MUST be taking steroids. The second is that Floyd knows how upset Manny was after the first Morales defeat, where Manny had to take a compeltely unexpected random blood test for the comission 2 days before the actual fight itself (an interview with Manny after this fight in 2005 is up on Youtube). Floyd knows that this disrupted Manny’s focus and led to the defeat, which is why he wants this test included – to disrupt Manny’s build up and make him lose a few days of key training.
When Mayweather initially talked of steroid use in Pacquaio’s camp I didn’t believe a word of it. Since then however; I’ve been waiting for Team Pacquaio to come out and say “we have nothing to hide, and we’d be more than willing to submit to random testing; in fact we encourage it”. Yet they haven’t. Then when you consider Freddie Roach’s past association with steroids, Pacquaio’s complete body makeover since 06, his unprecedented ability to ascend in weight divisions (maintaining speed and power), the abruptness of the Mayweather negotiations breaking down and Bob Arum announcing another fight in less than a week!
I don’t think Mayweather wanted to face Pacquaio in the ring, but he definitely made everyone take closer look at Pacquaio.
gard,
That is exactly what Mayweather wanted to do. He was going to take the same olympic-style random blood test as Pacquiao.
Pacquiao refused and walked away from the fight leaving $40 million on the table.
That’s why people are suspecting him of taking PEDs, because what he did does not make sense. And to make matters worse the guy hasn’t come out to say why he refused to take the test.
even the most physical sports used urine analysis for their athletes with regards to PEDs.
graham….can you name one sport organization that use random blood testing?
Mayweather pls move on. You know it well that you screwed up a great deal. Hell I’ll be acting like you too and try to make sense to just what had happened. You bluff and got called. Sorry but you loose. So move on and hope pacquiao will comeback on the table
If Floyd really mean cleaning the sport,he should start with himself by submitting to a drug test for steroids,PED,Human
Growth Hormones,pain blockers and anything other than ordinary
to the human body.
Then he can call all the testing he wants,but if a fighter call him to submit to a test from another state(other than Nevada),
he should agree to it,after all it all for cleaning the sport.
mr.sweetsci,
There is a reason why other sports include random blood tests in their testing procedures against drug users.
Started at 106… one was a pro… one was an amateur… until now, still an amateur. Still asking for amateur blood testing.
if your think floyd a mister clean ,watch this utube ,watch how manny times floyd use his elbow in fighting ricky .a dirty fighter, punches you and follow with a elbow. and cortez was helping floyd,wounder if cortez ref in mosley fight? copy and paste this in goggle PBF_TheCheat_CortezIncompetent_Part2.
I really hate that Mayweather profits from all of our deep rooted dislike of him!
lol jamie would be kissing manny’s arse if he was in front of him. i want boxing to be a clean sport, floyd your dads a convicted drug dealer and your uncle smashes up women boxers.
graham….to answer your question, RANDOM BLOOD TESTING in not necessary. urine analysis is far more accurate.
SWEET SCIENCE,
You sound very confused. If you still haven’t worked it out may be this will help.
Mosley agrees to random blood tests, and the fight is ON.
Pacquiao refuses the random blood test, and the fight is OFF.
If Pacquiao is one of the “Good Guys” as kiribati is suggesting don’t you think he should be at the forefront in promoting drug testing in boxing, not running away and hiding. I can’t imagine how embarrassing it must be for him to meet all those celebrities knowing that they might be thinking “WHY DID THIS GUY REFUSE A RANDOM BLOOD TEST?”
Conversation between two retards! Wow, it’s depressing how thick some people are.
At the end of the interview he was asked if this fight is going to happen. He avoided answering the question. What a jerk.
Floyd needs attention, this interview was set-up and scripted so Floyd could garner “attention”. While FLoyd and cohorts are exerting extra effort so the public will take notice of them, the “silent” Pacman without any effort on his part has been the one getting non-stop attention from A-list Hollywood celebrities visiting him to get autographs/pics, from respected/popular prestigious TV institutions 60 Minutes & Good Morning America, thousands of fans lining up the WIldCard, from Senator Feinstein presenting Pacman a plaque, for Pres. Bush excited to watch Pacman live, and so on so on so on. Poor Floyd, pls. pls. pls. give him some attention, at least for the effort since he’s trying too damn hard.
Floyd wants to clean up the sports? How about starting by not trashing your opponents or making baseless accusations? Why can’t he be like Manny Pacquiao who treats his opponents with respect and let his fists do the talking in the ring? Floyd is running out of excuse! That was the lamest excuse I’vs heard so far.
I just wish Mayweather would quit ducking people like Clottey. I mean come’on Floyd this is getting old, when he only fights the best. Floyd needs to take a lesson from Manny and quit fighting the top fighters and take on second-tier competition. I know there are plenty of boxers that no one has ever heard of and who has never beat a top fighter and Floyd is ducking them all!!! Oh, no, I only want to fight the best. Please, the fans don’t want to see two top fighters see who’s better they want to see a good fighter pick on washed up boxers and B level fighters. Thats why Manny is the best, because he doesn’t prove it by fighting the best, I mean Mosley is too good, so why would Manny fight him?? Why risk a loss by fighting someone on that level? I respect Manny for continually ducking the best opposition. Is he on PEDs, we don’t know, all we know is he’s scared of the A level fighters.
Any body who cannot see kfc is running from pac is delusional.
Didnt ask his previous opponents for random tests????????
If floyd really wants to clean up the entire sport of boxing, he will suffer his first loss becasue it will take more than his mouth to do that.
