:yikesI can't believe the huge number of people willint to blame Mayweather if this fight doesn't happen. For once, he is asking a VERY REASONABLE request (not money/catchweight/etc. involved). I mean, what's so outrageous about asking that BOTH submit to random testing done by the USADA?? It's not something that has never been done before. Athletes all over the world submit to these kind of tests all the time wether competing 4 Olympic gold or for a top spot @ The Tour The France, yet they do it without any complain. Let me remind you that not only in boxing you need to be at your 100%, but in all these competitive sports as well, yet these athletes do the random blood testing ALL the time, again, no complaining. Random testing for this fight is not only the right thing to do but fair 4 both the fighters and fans as well.... Heck, it should actually be done 4 all proffessional fights, IMO! Blood... needles phobia... for a guy who competes at the top level of one of the bloodiest sports in history?? Come on.. Give me a F*****g break!!:twisted: IMO either u are very naive, or you r just playing dumb not to find all this Pac's excuses difficult to believe... Somebody, it seems, has a dirty minute secret or at the very least some explaining to do... and while we are at this, why not let Mr Trevor Graham do the explaining himself & what is he doing working with Alex Ariza in Pac's team. (NOTE: as to my knowledge, T. Graham has been in very serious trouble with the authorities because of his involvement/connection with PED's and the athletes he used to coach, yet he is an integral part of Pac's team now!)
Pacquiao wanted the USADA only to test him three times -- once in January, once on Feb. 13 or 30 days from the fight, and, once more in the locker room afterward. "But if the Nevada Commission was doing it, then we would agree to do as many tests as they wanted to do -- urine and blood -- up to a certain date to be agreed upon," said Arum. "The Nevada Commission will do it appropriately. That's terrific," said Arum. "In other words, we wouldn't limit it to a certain number of tests because we know that the Nevada Commission won't harass the fighters. " Pacquiao has fought 11 times in Las Vegas, and has tested clean every time, said Kizer, who could not be reached for comment. Arum said that he would be willing to work out a protocol with Kizer based on trust. "We would sit down with Mayweather's side and say, 'Here's what we're prepared to do with the Nevada Commission.' And then, the other side would sit down and say what they would be prepared to do," said Arum. "And then, the commission would then take it from there, and hold random urinalysis and random blood tests." http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/...d.php?t=194740
why should pac be treated differently to anyone else? dont you thnk it disrespectful to cast doubt on a boxers integrity in this way?
manny is okay with random testing up to a month before the fight. this reminds me of something fishy i noticed in the 24/7 for pac-cotto. pac was unfocused, partying, roach was compaining about his lack of focus and determination, and then....the final episode(the final weeks of training camp) he completely turned into something else. its like he was ultra focused, it was kind of insane how quick he switched it up to another level. with all this speculation its starting to make me think.
the supposed randon testing would be more than 2 months away and pacquiao can stop juicing at this very moment until fight night to stay clean.. if your were pacquiao, would you trade a 50 mil to stupidly roiding and get caught when you knew you could have stopped juicing since the start of the ellegations few months back?.:huh oh i forgot, common sense is not a *****'s strongest point..:yep
NO... oh, & BTW, He's not being treated differently, at least not from Mayweather, who would be submitted to the same treatment..
Link on Trevor Graham's involvement with team Pacquiao. Likewise, give me another link that says Pacquiao said he is afraid of needle. If not, where do you get that rumor, and is now passing it as a truth? While we are it, don't you think that the latest concession of Team pac to the request (agreed with all the RANDOM blood and urine test except until 3 days before the fight night and RIGHT AFTER the fight), considering that this test is not mandatory, is sufficient enough, just to have this fight happen?
Pac has agreed to testing. He doesn't want tested on the day of the fight that's all. Tell me Einstein what 'miracle' drug can you take 12 hours before a fight that turns you into superman that can't be traced in the post fight blood test?:deal I await your answer.
he is only treated differently because the mayweathers say so! manny should just abandon this fight altogether! do not give floyd his pay!!!!
and oh he also doesn't mind the test right after the fight in the locker room so will the *****s tell me as well what roid or hgh can be detected on march 12 and not on the evening of march 13?
Bull****. He hasn't agreed to random testing leading up to the fight, which would provide ideal detection.
after the random testing, whats next?. This content is protected hey pacquiao, take the random testing or no fight (expecting pacquiao to say no).. This content is protected okay floyd, i'll do the tests.. This content is protected oh ****, i'm doomed.. This content is protected plan b..plan b..
