It's not the first time Atlas was involved controversy. Atlas drew criticism for what some considered to be overly dramatic speeches in the ring corner, particularly during Moorer's Heavyweight title fight with Evander Holyfield, and some felt he did these antics to draw attention to himself rather than help his fighter, during one such speech Atlas blocked Moorer from sitting on his stool and remarked "do you want me to take over". Atlas was suspended on January 25, 2008, by ESPN for one week, after confronting the network's boxing program director, Doug Loughrey, over allegedly showing favoritism to certain promoters and matchmakers, who were abusing their ESPN connections by taking fighters from other promoters with promises of potential ESPN dates.
Yeah, I was thinking that too. But what about the alleged email that asks if a *positive* result can be kept quiet for the good of boxing. That seems kinda shady...
:yep Coming into the neg. Arum & Pac knew that PBF would insist on strict random testing. PBF agreed on everything else on Pacs terms. Why not agree to testing? Oh Yeah dignity :yep
no yours is shitty. pac is definitely guilty because he wont bow down to floyds request. if you want to look at a cheat look at floyd who is a known cheat. funny how atlas becomes a boxing sage because believes your pathetic views. where is youre evidence that he is a cheat. a mysterious e-mail floyd sr and paulie malignaggi you are a disgrace as a boxing fan to accuse a fighter thats given so much to the sport. you aint a fan but a fraud douchebag.
Had it not been for Teddy Atlas' antics, Moorer probably would have lost the first Holyfield fight. So, exactly what's the problem here? Seems like this only makes Atlas look even more credible...
:verysad Look at the pot calling the kettle black...Please explain to me how in the hell did Mayweather **** up the fight? If I can recall correctly...Floyd is the one who agreed to ALL OF MANNY"S demands...ALLL OF THEM! Manny on the other hands has came up with excuse after excuse on why he cant take a olympic style drug test...Manny's has a history with needles and it weakens him.....Manny doesnt want to have blood drawn 3 days before fight...ect, ect...but yet you guy dudes like you that constantly point the finger without any solid evidence to back up what you say...Why dont you show us articles or quotes on Floyd ****ing this fight up? You say that Floyd has asked for something that has never been done before but you left out the fact that Manny did the exact samething that you accusing Mayweather of (asking for something that has never been done before) You're bias and you sure as hell is showing it! Who give a flying **** if he hasnt failed a test...For the record I still dont think he's doping but with these actions as of lately...I'm starting to change my tune on this situation...I can go all day long on folks who past a test but later found out to be doping so you can kill that shitty arguement! Why dont you be a fan of the sport instead of making a fool of yourself!
If you dont worship Pac you have to be a moron. :yep Atlas has no reason what so ever to hate Pac. The kid makes no sense to me :huh
Like I said...you can call me all of these names you wont but it still doesnt erase the fact that your boy is looking real bad right now!:rofl:rofl Thats a fact that ya bitchass cant refute!:hi: Edit...You say why should he go for Floyd demands...Dumbass, FLoyd agreed to all of Manny's demands and even tried to be leniant towards Manny with his testing dates (the 14 day cut off) but yet Manny cant answer to all of Floyd demands? You sound like a real stan right about now with this weak ass arguement you presenting! Its called compromising in which you simple minded ass cant seem to understand! Laught at that buddy!
Pimp C..you're an official ******. Notice the quote, "a source told me 'I saw an email'" meaning Teddy Atlas didn't see sh*t but cited a 'credible' source.
Please explain why Atlas would say this, if his source was not credible? Tim Smith, of the NY daily news says the same. Did they get together and make this up?
Defo agree there re the actual blood test, blood tests are nothing and I have given blood many times myself and been back at work within the hour (thats after giving a whole pint). But I'm not Manny and if it does have a detrimental effect on him why should he do it deal:deal. Its almost as if Floyd new all this and thats why he demanded this nonsense - to give him an unfair edge in the run up to the fight, but its backfired in his face and everyone (Manny, Floyd, us fans) now loses FACT.
