    Whether or not this PBF vs PAC fight goes or not,boxing commisions need to come together and establish a world class continually updated policy concerning Performance Enhancing Drugs of all kinds.

    It is embarsing almost to be a boxing fan with this farce going on like this.The boxers themselves should have no say whatsoever in determining what & when the tests should be.The WBA WBC whoever needs to hire professional people to enforce rules to ensure an equal playing field for every fight.It should not be a big deal, its done in every world class sport ,WHY NOT BOXING.Two men battling face to face neither should have any doubt that their opponent has a chemically enhanced advantage.Simple.

    Who the hell knows if Pacquiao`s guilty or whether Mayweather should have initated this ****,it`s too late now.

    If any good comes out of this at all it`s that it never happens again, its fixed and BOXING becomes the focus & BOXING gets the respect that it deserves ... Thoughts?

    Disagree. What they have in place now works fine. If people want to use, they will, regardless of the testing.

    It's simply not possible to have this without a governing body to enforce it. So it won't happen.

    manny is an honest hard training athlete. he is a devout catholic and good man. i think thats clear for all too see. it is an insult from mayweather to ask this man to degrade himself to these tests on the grounds that he's cheating. manny will stick to his guns and rightly so. its a pride thing that would personally anger me if i was pac. this fight will not happen unless floyd drops this

    Come on Floyd. That alone in itself is unprecedented. People saying Manny is not willing to give up anything are talking out their ass.

    Manny agreed to take the tests.

    They just couldn't agree on when to take them.

    Until a defintive article comes out, explaining exactly what happened, I'm going with the idea that FMJ was too scared of losing his 'o', he put every obstacle he could find in the way of this fight being made.

    You must personally know him to say he is an honest, catholic good man. He has openly cheated on his wife - doesn't sound to honest to me.

    On one hand I agree with you. In a buisness like boxing you cant let yourself be bullied or taken advantage of. However this is organized sports no room for cheating just because he is "manny is an honest hard training athlete. he is a devout catholic and good man" does not mean he could not be on something. I'm tired of guys being presumed innocent just because of a smiling face and nice guy attitude. Look at Shane he never failied test and had that sunny attitude and then look what happened he got caught. I say if there is suspicion test this isn't like most sports people can be killed or injured for life

    I don't care, he can screw who he wants. It's just hypocrytical for the TS to come out and say he's an honest good catholic. He sort of walked into it.
