This edit: as in, there have been cases/interviews/reports/incidents in which both roach and pac said no testing just around 3-5 days before. Problem is, for one reason or another Arum wanted Pac to stand his ground on the 30/24 day thing
Exactly, at the end of the day it was Pac's people who ran away from the fight because he didn't want to take a test which he clearly could have.
I always felt the whole needle fiasco was a bunch of bull**** and the Pac camp didn't help.. Seemed like everyone was on different pages and when this was exposed, negotiations became even more difficult.. With all this trash talking going around between the Mayweathers and the Pac camp, it looks like they're hyping up a possible bout later in the year.. Can you imagine how much bigger PBF vs Pac would be provided they both win their next bouts? I think there is hope that the two will eventually meet later this year. We've also been given two very intriguing match ups in the mean time. Looking like another great year for boxing. good
As sad as it is unfortunate, it is not so clear at all. I hope he is clean, but he sure has raised some serious doubts.
Agreed to a certain extent. However the debacle just kinda ruined things for me. I was so stoked when it appeared as if both fighters had the balls to step up for a March 13th fight. But all of a sudden they look like two drama queens. I'll watch the fight if it happens later this year but I'd be lying if I told you my excitement has not been tainted.
Roach does a ton of trash talking when the fight is some distant future that might never be made, but once it was close to happening those "we'll KTFO him" predictions, turned into "it will be a tough fight that might go to the cards".
Roach thinks all of his fighters will knock out everybody. He's just talking sh-t though, as he has spoken far less confidently many times about the outcome of that potential matchup.
Yeah.. it was kind of a let down that it isn't them fighting in two weeks but we got two great match ups instead. I started losing interest on the PBF vs Pac when Pac's camp started jumping all over the place with the blood test.. Hopefully Pac beats Clottey (I'm picking him to win but im not ruling Clottey out). Pac vs Floyd/Mosley winner at the end of the year would be huge
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is getting ready to relocate to RJJ avenue. Sugar Shane is going to help him with the move.
He walked away the first time, did Floyd, no reason to think he will want the fight again if he beats Mosley and Pacquiao defeats Clottey. Mayweather lucked out when the earthquake struck Haiti and Berto had to pull out of his fight with SSM. If not for that, Floyd would either be sitting on the sidelines right now or else fighting someone along the lines of Magic Hatton.
prove it then..14 days out take a little blood test not a donation so u will be fine...besides its 14 days out...then fight...i dont know how you could say No when you take blood test 20 days out anyways....plus 40 plus million on the line.....who says no to this...you make more of a stand if youw ant to call it that by taking the test..passing it..then KO'in the person you saying your going to KO...oh by the way collect the loads of millions you get. THERE IS NOTHING BUT PLUS SIDE IN THE FIGHT....anything short of a injury or close family illness is bullshyt!
