The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

Why should he? Pac had a chance and flaked. Then Pac had a fight that flopped. Now he wants back in? No.

USADA testing or no fight. Point blank.

 

Thats true to,but this fight has to happen their ATG status depends on it,if they wanna be mentioned in the same breath as Hearns,Leonard,Duran,and Benitez as ATG Welterweights of the past 30 years they need this,all of this looks like cheating cowardness,thats not what ATG's are made of.

 

he needed time to clean up

 

I dont hate either 1 of them and neither are my favortites,but its both of their faults,you have to admit this is bull**** for the so called best fighters in the sport.:-(

 

It seems to me that it's the Boxing Commissioners of a particular state or country that's responsible for setting drug policy not a particular fighter, so anything that exceed what the Commisions require is purely arbitrary.

That said the following thoughts occur to me.

1. Shane Mosely didn't fight to his usual level, is that because

(a) he got old over night, which does sometimes happen or

(b) Mayweather's speed was too much, or

(c) was he using some kind of substance that enhanced his abilities and did the testing
prevent him from taking this substance?

2. If Mayweather rejects this 14 day limit it would interesting to know specifically why
in terms of how it pertains to testing.

 

What type of athlete needs a 14 day non-testing window? i still havent heard a good reason...(besides the obvious)

 

if pbf agree to 14 days.. it would look like he and the USADA are working together... if floyd has that much power then we should question the USADA...does any body know the definition of RANDOM... if you have a dictionary.. look up that word... what they should agree to is drug testing on the same day for both fighters.. one day before or 14 days before....

 

Pacquiao's holding the fight up by not wanting to prove his innocence and take tests that would make the sport safer. All he has to do is accept the testing and there are no legitimate reasons not to.

 

Why does he need a cut off window from drug testing?
That makes him look more suspicious to me.
" You can test me, but you have to stop two weeks before the fight"
What kinda nonsense is that.
What is the purpose of the test if you have a whole two weeks to do w/e you want?
Come on man, I lost respect for dude, when you start making up excuse after excuse and contradict yourself at the same time something smells fishy there.

USADA tests for both fighters, so i can have the piece of mind both fighters are 110% clean. and make the fight
Cuz lemme tell you wats going to happen, say if Pac wins, he wont get full credit for his win b/c this "14 day window" people will say he roided up for 14 days.
And then on esb there will be a hudread threads a day talking about this.
Both need to take random drug tests n get it on period. Thats the only way.
That whole weakening arguement by pac is nonsense. When i played highschool fball we got tested, the amount of blood they take you could lose by having a major cut somewhere.

 

OK no.... If people think Floyd should demand more, then Floyd will be backing out of the fight. Backtracking is just what it is. Backtracking.

Regardless of why Team pac didn't agree to it before, they are agreeing to it NOW, and it was the highlight of Team Floyd's demands. Just get the ****ing fight done already

 

no excuses now Floyd

Sign the papers

 

Why is 14 days okay now?

 

This is progress. I don't know how people in this thread are being critical. Anything to get the fight made is good for me (as a true boxing fan).

 

It's obvious Floyd will come up with something else to keep this fight from happening. Demanding a 60-40 split is my guess.

 

yea its crazy for a man who has proven to be a bigger draw to demand a larger split of the purse...
