Fight Back On! Nevada to decide testing.

Mayweather got PWNED.

I can't believe Pacquiao will still fight this ***, after they tried to coerce him to sign the contract. At least Schaefer will get exposed for what they are lying ***s.

 

Mayweather's stance is, "I'll fight a clean Pacquiao."

The public was and is calling for this fight......and if Mayweather is suspicious of Pacquiao's doping integrity.
There are ways to find that out.......so he's certainly is within his rights to call for a legit method of testing.

.....any clean fighter in such a high profile money making fight would welcome it ir he were clean.

 

Thats not what Mayweather is asking for........which is the reason why he is'nt asking the NSAC to do the testing. If the NSAC did the testing, then yes the rules would have to be changed for everyone.
But if an external hired agency did the testing, the NSAC would not have to change their testing methods if they did'nt want too.......though it would be for the betterment of boxing if they did.

 

Exactly, but I wish it was that simple. Imagine if after the Pac. vs. Cotto fight, Floyd just said. "I think he's on illegal sublements, therefor I'm not interested in fighting him." Let's face it, he'd be labled a chicken. So what's he got to lose by setting up a high demand like the one he did? Floyd can always back down, sign the fight with standard testing, and make a shitload of extra money from this circus his demand has created. It's all part of his brilliant gamesmanship and it's working very well for both fighters. The latest of Pauli M. vs. Pac. next fight is a brilliant countermove by team Pac. If another accuser, Pauli M., is man enough to take on Pac. without additional testing, why won't Floyd?

 

this sounds totally fair and hopefully both camps get their **** together and accept this.

 

There are a few of potential responses. The first, and most obvious, is that he considers fighting him, despite his reservations about misconduct, because it is far and away the most lucrative bout in the sport. Everyone in the media and on the boards has been harping on this since Mayweather announced he was returning to face Marquez.

Second, regarding the absurdity of the demands, Mayweather may have been employing standard negotiation tactics. If he wanted some significant beyond the standard NSAC procedure, he very well could have used the USADA as a means toward eliciting a compromise that still went above and beyond a few urine tests.

Finally, while his demands were certainly well outside the norm for the sport as a whole, we should all recognize that this fight is not normal either. Given the stakes here, I can countenance both different and additional conditions than what even a HBO WCB fight would bring. Related to this, I find it somewhat comical that Pacquiao fans are pulling up prior quotes by Schaefer concerning additional testing for Mosley. Of course he's a "hypocrite." He's a promoter, and he will tow the line that he feels is in the best interest of his fighter. Arum has been doing it longer and more outrageously, in some instances, than him. Does this mean that one of them is objectively "worse" or more "dishonest" than the other? No, it means they're doing their mostly disingenuous jobs.

 

Damn, stop it, just stop it. PWNAGE

 

Excellent.

Or as GBP might say: "If it's good enough for Shane Mosley, it's good enough for Manny Pacquiao"

 

Couldn't this be due to the Mayweather's simply not taking the time to consider the issue? The family is hilariously lampooned as moronic by most of the boxing community. It's not unthinkable that until Floyd, Sr. began hurling accusations, baseless or not, that it didn't really occur to any of them to think about NSAC being inadequate.

I'm not sure if that has any merit, but it came to me in reading many of these responses.

 

Floyd wants to fight in Nevada so is fair for them to do the testing. Wasnt it Floyd who refused all other venues.

Pac issued a statement and is willing to fight. The terms seem fair, so now is upto Floyd to accept and get it on in March.

I can certainly understand where you're coming from - However;

With all the scandals that have been going down surrounding big fights that have happened under the nose of the NSAC - most notably Mosley de la Hoya [Balcogate] and Mosley Margarito [Plastergate] - I believe the NSAC has an even greater interest in making sure that what could be the biggest fight in our lifetime comes off without any such scandals. With all the suspicion about Pacquiao and the KNOWN juicing issue present in professional sports - I think it's a no-brainer that the NSAC are going to do above and beyond whatever is necessary to ensure that eveything in on the level.

I think Mayweather's demands for Olympic style testing has really put the focus on how uesless the NSAC's testing policies have been.

 

Sounds fair
