How is he making his own testing rules? Floyd is a great boxer but giving him credit for developing his own anti-doping program... That's taking his genius to far. The rules (or similar rules) for testing he demands is already in place in other sports, so Floyd if you think Manny has been treated like a cheat then you ain't seen nothing yet. Try to look up the thread that has been advised, and maybe look into the history and facts about PED's in different sports.
A lot of people just follow hype. Today they hate him and tomorrow will lve him. Same with floyd, but thats how sport works.
I think most people support Pacquaio. I certainly do. But I also think that Team Pacquaio has totally ****ed up the publicity war. FMJ had created a "legitimate" reason not to fight Manny, which is what he wanted all along.
I think they wanted to play along a little and didnt mind the regular mayweather show. But contract demands and slander because he wouldnt agree to such silly terms was too much. They had to act before his rep went down the tube
So you're saying Floyd actually got balls? I suppose I shouldn't ask how you know, cause you're not the only poster who's got some kind of traumatic reaction to the name Mayweather. And if there comes a cure for Asperger syndrome I'll be sure to send you a PM, it's gonna be a revelation.
Lawsuit is right thing to do, despite what a lot of people say, this isn't the usual trash talk, these are serious and totally unfounded allegations that could, and probably have, tarnished Pacquaio's image and legacy. Totally disgraceful these allegations were made in the first place, in the media, without a shred of evidence. I hope Manny's lawyers make FMJ and Co. pay big time.
I agree he's got a good case with the comments that has been made, but he won't look good if he fights Paulie who has made the same accusations without being sued.
I dont think there wil be a big payout but will help to clear his name to some level. Which he shouldnt have to do. As has met the regulations of the boxing board. I dont think he will fight paulie. Not on his level unles he wants a really easy fight pre-election. Would Paulie come up in weight. I think Paulie v Khan is an option for roach not Pac. Pac will probably fight Foreman, if not maybe Marquez but I think thats just a bargaining chip.
:good Folks are making out like if Pac simply took the tests and passed, all would be forgiven. If only things were that simple. The reality of it is now that it's out there, and media speculation is rampant, this issue won't completely die down - even if he wins this lawsuit. Can't put Pandora back in her box. And what a risk he'd now have to take. Let's not pussyfoot around, he has a real chance of losing this fight, I think everyone will agree with that statement. If he tested clean under Money May's stipulations, and then lost. Can you imagine the fallout? The speculation about his past "abuses"? Even though he has always fought clean and won on merit? It's an entire legacy down the can. And his political aspirations would suffer too. So PBF has put him in an incredible bind. Hence the lawsuit.
Well said. All has built up to the hype. Not only is his title, P4P ranking, fighter of the decade but now hes fighting for his honourable name too. This fight has got a lot riding on it. Why dont they make another addition to the contract that the loser has to jump off a bridge. So they can fight for their lives too.
EPO, blood doping, and HGH seems to be the issue for the random blood tests. This was offered to Mayweather, $10 mil if Pacquiao came up dirty with the proposed tests. Mayweather camp said NOPE - USADA or no deal.
That's a nice example of very flawed logic you made there. If the tests can't detect all (or all we know of) PED available pretty accurately that clause is obsolete.
Forget about all that. My first question about this issue has never been answer. Why does Manny Pacquiao needs to put up with Floyd Mayweather's bull****????? Who the hell is Floyd to ask for additional testing other than the tests every boxer needs to pass???
