    I think the average age of ESB posters are from 11-15.

    :lol: This place is a ****ing joke sometimes.

    Fighter A tries to impose a condition on Fighter B and make Fighter B accept a ludicrous contract clause. Fighter B tells him to **** off. Fighter A is forced to publicly back down and drop his pathetic demand.

    And in the horribly, horribly, unbelievably biased world of ESB, it is fighter B who comes out of this all looking bad.


    I cannot wait to read the whirlwind of hatred and excuses come March 14th after Pacquiao has turned the boxing world upside down.

    No ****. Like it's a positive that ignorant people will now jump to the conclusion that Pac's been juicing?

    How ****ing bitter and insecure about their man's legacy can they get that they'd rather see Pac torn down from his pedestal in the newspapers? Some fans. :rofl

    It's still hilarious how that thread was ignored by essentially every Floyd fan/Pac hater. :lol:

    Its amazing how many people just cos they are fans of pacquiao dont want to see the best testing possible in boxing.

    That where the differing comes from however. I don't think reqesting random drug testing is ludicrous at all, in fact i fell it should be introduced for all big fights. If pacquaio had accepted the clause it would be a footnote alongside the $10 million penalty clause, something of **** all intrest to everyone.

    Now you can argue that it is not mayweather job to be forcing these sort of rules onto fights and there is some truth here. However i have yet to here a good counter argument behind why pacquaio would look to turn down a fight which will generate close to $250 million on a matter so inconsequential as random drug tests for both fighters.

    I firmly believe that the fight will be made however and i will give major credit to which ever fighter wins but i don't believe what mayweather has requested here to be outlandsish, actually i'm suprised at the fuss blown up over it

    No, what is overboard is coming overweight. This isn't a catchweight fight. Coming in over the limit means it would no longer be a welterweight fight. It's enough to cancel the fight.
    However, Pacquiao compromised by saying he'll still go through with the fight, even if Floyd was to come in over the limit. To make that scenario unlikely, however, he had to set a penalty high enough that Floyd would be reticent to cheat.
    If you're a fan of a fair fight, you wouldn't want Floyd to come over the limit. The only way to ensure that is such a high penalty. If it hurts you that Floyd has to pay a high price to earn advantages for this fight, then perhaps you're only a Floyd nuthugger.

    Manny wanted a muay-thai boxing match against Floyd. Floyd wanted a tickling competition. We get a boxing match. Already a compromise.
    Floyd wanted 10oz gloves. Manny might have preferred bare-knuckle boxing. They settled on 8oz gloves.
    See, Pacquiao compromised more than Floyd. That's how much he wants this fight made.

    If Mayweather really cared about the drug issue, why the **** is he signed with GBP? Why the **** is he dealing with a company where a known doper, is a part owner of? Where the promoter has flat out refused blood testing for Mosley?

    Is this really about the drug issue, when Mayweather is in bed with people who have taken money from a known doper?
