    I'd support it, of course, but I feel there is no reason at this point to not fight under USADA testing.

    Mayweather is the first athlete to subject himself to voluntary testing, which makes him admirable as an athlete in a way that no one else ever has been.

    Ok here is my opinion. The whole PED's talk is just slander started by the Mayweathers, there is no proof he uses them, there is no proof he ever has either. It's all made up crap that caught on to Floyds fans and it's all a **** stir. It even made it onto the news for ****s sake.

    He should be fighting the best out there no questions asked, just like he used to do prior to moving up to 140. Now THAT was Pretty Boy Floyd, Money Mayweather is just a corrupt crook with no balls.

    Honestly, I don't even think the fight is worth $40 million anymore.

    Hell if punting a kitten was a prerequisite to sign on the dotted line just do it so we can see the damn fight.

    Neither is asking for 10 million weight penalty or asking for 8 ounce gloves. Back to the question. I personally could care less about the testing. If the fight doesn't happen because of it then no. If it can with regular testing then make it happen.

    Look at it like this, if Mayweather does not take advantage of Marquez by coming in heavier, then Manny Pacquiao does not ask for that stipulation.

    It always gets me when people bring up this issue, like its equal to Manny taking an OST. Mayweather has in the past, been guilty of exploiting the weight, Manny Pacquiao is not a proven drugs cheat, so why would the situation be comparable?

    Yes I would support it, just to get the fight on.

    But I'm not in support of the current testing, and I've felt this way since before this Mayweather/Pacquiao thing came along.

    it is admirable if he did it to clean the sport. it will be more admirable if he will do it to all the boxers he is promoting. are guys actually that naive to believe that he is out to clean the sport? if he is, he should be lobbying for the commissions to change its rule.

    it is not comparable. and even if you'll look at their demands, you will see who wants the fight more. pac's demand means if anyone weigh over, the fight would still push through and the the offending party would just pay just like when floyd paid jmm. but with floyd's demand, if either one was tested positive, the fight would be scrapped and that is what floyd or his father really wants in the first place.

    they should work on terms whereby they can both enter the ring 100% physically and more importantly, mentally.
