    How would GPB have reacted if Mayweather was to fight Mosley and asked for olympic drug testing? Oh, I forgot, Mayweather would never fight Mosley..

    im not 100% sure floyd ain't on roids either... thats why it would make sense for them to take the test.. paul williams has nothing to do with this argument.....

    this style testing would put it 100% clear that neither fighter.... NOT PAC... BuT BOTH FIGHTERS ARE WITH OUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT clean....


    there are several reports out right now saying how easy it is to get around standardized testing...

    this type of testing makes it impossible to cheat....

    Walk With Me, you think Lebron James and Kobe Bryant would have subjected themselves to a drug test if it was not mandated and required in the Olympics?

    Or let's say, Spain requested the Olympics Committee to have their team and the US Team undergo a stricter drug test just to make sure they are playing equally with the US? This is aside from the mandated drug testing already conducted by the Committee.

    You think the US team would just say yes to that kind of request?

    After he saw how Mosley destroyed Margarito, I doubt it.

    Pac only needs to submit all his previous tests that were mandated by the boxing commission. That is all that is required of him. He doesnt have to pleasure Sr's baseless accusations because he doesnt even have anything on Manny.

    The accusers need to produce evidence, and Pac doesnt even have to participate, before they can even make a legit case. In this case, he clearly has none whatsoever.

    yes.... i do

    let me change my answer... if it was mandatory to compete and if they didnt take the test they couldnt play.... i think they would take the test

    Ellerbe already is quoted as saying that if the Pacquiao fight falls through, they would pursue the winner of the Berto vs Mosley fight.

    He's asking for something unprecidented in boxing, that's why.
    Should Manny bend over backwards, **** no.

    As I said in another post Mayweather's had things his own way for a long time, then he comes up against an opponent who has just as much negotiation power as himself, someone who will not bow to his demands.

    It's a '**** you' to Mayweather basically, and rightfully so.

    Mayweather is at fault because he expects something to be done that's never been done before. If he never asked the fight would be made by now, it's that simple.

    Oh and the drug testing that's been done for 20-30 years (Don't know exactly) how and has been acceptable for every top/elite boxer in that time isn't good enough for Mayweather all of a sudden. But it was good enough for all his other opponents.

    Is asking for a $10 million per pound fine unprecedented?

    Yes it is, but Floyd agreed anyways.

    Maybe Pacquiao should do the same?

    This is the logic people should be using when looking at this situation. Instead it's like there are 80 Mayweathers on this forum, all convinced that Manny Pacquiao is on roids without a shred of evidence.
    except he won some fights.. big ****ing deal.

    If manny has a history of taking steroids? Absolutely.
    Did floyd **** over marquez at the weigh in? Yes.
    Did Manny **** someone over by using roids? No.
    How the **** does this logic work for you guys?
    Stop riding band wagons every ****ing fight.

    What does manny having a history of steroids have to do with asking for the tests? Who really gives a ****.....You guys need to stop using that as an excuse.

    The point is simple: Manny is asking for an unprecedented amount of money for a fine. Floyd is asking for an unprecedented amount of testings. THEY ARE BOTH ASKING FOR SOMETHING UNPRECEDENTED!!!!

    The difference is, MAYWEATHER HAS AGREED, and Pacquiao is going to the media, courts, and using every method possible to avoid the tests.

    How can anybody claim Mayweather is at fault when he is OK with the contract and is ready to fight? Pacquiao just needs to say yes to the testing and the fight would be a go.

    THE ONLY THING HOLDING UP THE SHOW IS A PACQUIAO YES.

    It was asked because.....(and you know it..)









    Mayweather just cheated on JMM in his last fight. He showed up at 146. The contract was at 144. So, the demand was to REALLY discourage Mayweather from DOING IT AGAIN.

    WHILE, Pacquiao has no drug test infraction in his record. And yet, Mayweather is asking him to take a drug test which is not mandated by the commission, and which is basically based on their fear that Pacquiao might be on steroids.

    Wow, 100 threads about this issue yet you can not still just simply understand the logic behind the $10M per pound request.
