    Eddie Cotton is a great referee who doesn't allow fighters to excessively hold and/or commit other fouls. In the first half of the fight, Mayweather held Pacquiao quite a bit and the ref didn't say or do $hit. This holding b.s. is killing boxing for the fans in addition to being illegal. I don't mind if a fighter has been dropped and/or hurt very badly and needs to hold a little to clear his head but when he employs excessive holding as a strategy then it's unfair to the opponent, illegal and undermines the entertainment value of the fight for the fans. I don't blame Floyd for continuing to do it because he was getting away with it. I am blaming the refs who allow it. If fighters want to hold another man that much I suggest they go into gay porn. Any fan who enjoys watching a man hold another man, I suggest they watch gay porn.

    The officials are extremely important so let's not be cavalier about them. They can make or break the fight not only for the fighters but for the fans. I agree 100% that drug testing is an issue because there is a lot more evidence that Floyd has been on PED's than Pacquiao. Manny certainly could have been using them too because we live in the PED era but there is a tremendous amount of circumstantial evidence that Floyd has been on them which is so hypocritical because he has been pointing the finger for years. I really wish VADA could conduct the testing for all major fights. USADA is less effective at nailing people, clearly for sale and are unethical tramp$.

    Without his special IVs and with a 2 handed Pac, Floyd gets KTFO early.

    Hold the fight in Texas or anywhere BUT Vegas. No NSAC to grant BS TUE's to the cheater No Bayless No Moretti BS
    Vada does the testing so no IV gate Give Pac a level playing field & he'll kick Mayweathers cowardly cheating a$$. I'd sanction this fight for only one reason ? To give Pacquaio the chance he was BLATANTLY denied on May 2

    If athletes can flash money and buy organizations, no one would get caught.. Pac shouldn't want to fight a cheater again and put even more money in a retired man's pocket.. Pac repeatedly said it's not about the money so there's nothing to prove fighting Floyd again.. Plus he's still "shot" and was "killed" by Marquez.. I'm sure he hasn't gotten taller either, so he's still a midget too.. Why would anyone want this fight?

    I'm in favor of all of this. Unfortunately, Mayweather will never fight outside of Vegas and for obvious reasons is loyal to USADA. The most we can hope for is an unbiased rule enforcing ref like Cotton.

    pacquiao couldn't get a rhythm, there's no continuity on his offense because of floyd's constant illegal grabbing/hugging.

    Agreed 100%. That's why I was saying that the ref is crucial. A dude like Cotton wouldn't allow that b.s.

    I still say a 100% fit Pacquaio anywhere but the corruption of Vegas with WADA doing to testing. In other words give Manny a level playing field & he'll kick that cheating coward's a$$

    How can anyone trust the NSAC & USADA???
    They allow a boxer who was caught red handed having ILLEGAL EVCESSIVE saline drips in his own home with no medical staff present to apply for a TUE for that ILLEGAL treatment NINETEEN DAYS AFTER he was caught having it. The final straw was that they GRANTED him a TUE ROFL Then issued a statement stating " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong so we will not be investigating" !!!!!!! In other words Mr Mayweather is above the law & we can do as we like.
    Now I think we know why that NSAC commissioner resigned on the spot. He got out before the fit hit the shan so to speak
