We have a difference of opinion. I think your opinion is just short sided.

First of all, you mean short-sighted not short-sided.
Secondly, you're right environment makes a big difference. But, it's not like Pac has been living on the streets of Manilla & training in a hut the past 7 or 8 years. He's been training out in Hollywood, he's one of the richest men in his country & he's promoted by arguably the most powerful promoter in boxing, Bob Arum. He's really not struggling for contacts if he were to want to take steroids.
Again, I don't believe he did it, but let's not act like the Phillipines is the most pure country in the world, whilst all in the US are corrupt cheating whores. It makes no difference where someone comes from, they're both in the same business & of similar profile.
Yes, I agree it is possible that Pacquiao could have done something but I don't believe it either. So I do get your point that Pacquiao presents outside the Philippines he could have been exposed to some substance.
Holy crap dude! What the hell you got against the Philippines? The Philippines is one of the most corrupt places I know, but the poor are really poor. They wouldn't know what the hell you are talking about when you said steroids let alone the more sophisticated designer drugs genetically engineered to avoid detection. That shit comes from developed worlds. And that is my point. It is "less likely" for Pacquiao to have come in contact with the stuff than Mayweather so if an argument is going to be made for for someone using the shit its a better premise for Mayweather than Pacquiao. And I'm not saying Mayweather Jr. does the shit either. And I'm not saying the US is a place of corrupt cheating whores, although some of the most successful ones are in the US. Except for Margacheato.
Again, you imagine someone is attacking the Philippines when they're not. I have nothing against the place, but the elite & wealthy (of which Pacquiao is now a part) will have just as much access to steroids as a sportsman in the US.
You're right the poor will not know what they are there, but Pac ain't poor no more. He's a multi-millionaire sports star. The poor in the US are unlikely to have spare cash lying around to buy steroids, so I don't understand why you're bringing up the underclass, which neither Floyd nor Manny are part of, at least not any more.
He's just as likely to have come into contact with them as Floyd, I don't think Mayweather Sr is talking about Pac's early boxing years when talking about steroids, more his recent rise through the weight classes. Unless you're gonna tell me Pac sleeps on the streets of a slum out of solidarity.

It's one thing to hype up a fight and to talk some trash back and forth all in good fun, but to outright accuse someone of taking steroids without providing any facts, or proof is a completely different story. This writer would not be one bit surprised if team Pacquiao responds to these accusations with a heavy hand, very possibly with attorneys in order to get to the bottom of this. Something like this should not be handled with kids gloves, this was a very outlandish accusation that will more than likely be responded to very accordingly.
There is a scripture in the Bible where Jesus says, "Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, with never a thought for the plank in your own?" Perhaps Mr Mayweather Sr should look in the mirror and evaluate his life, and look at the behavior of his own family before slandering or defaming another human being.

The Mayweathers: Curly, Larry, and Moe, are trying to bring down Pac to enable them to catch up to his level!

Mayweather Sr better have facts to back up steroid accusation
I hope to Christ noboby strikes a match around Floyd Sr...that bitch's probably on the verge of internal combustion what with all the fuel for fires he'll be tottin' for junior's next match...provided he get's by my guy this weekend.
Actually...I'd like to retract my previous statement...somebody hit one of the pressers & strike a muh-fwockin-miz-atch!!!
Heh heh heh.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
I think this accusation is all a mental thing. They want Mannys name to be liked with steroids so it will snowball into a contraversy. Manny has overcome a lot of adversity and is mentally very tough. They are trying to get an edge by disrupting Mannys career. Its also a Roach-Floyd Sr. rivalry thing. I dont think they should be worrying about mental warfare with Manny and Roach though because the Mayweather-Pacquiao only happens if they both win their fights and I dont see that happening for Pac.
