End of story for Mayweather.

I just hope that Team Pacquiao will back out from this fight to shut Mayweather's big mouth.


I say to Pac:

Take the random drug tests as suggested by Gayweather ( I know Pac will do it) and fight at light middle for another belt. Do the fight after the May elections if Gayweather doesn't sign the contract before the second week of January.

Pac, you don't need Gayweather. Cancel this fight if you must and never bother about Gayweather.Your place in boxing history is already secured.

It's clear that gayweather is dilly-dallying to avoid a fight with you.

Gayweather avoided a fight with Cotto and Margarito coz he knew they were big punchers. He must have been pissing his pants every night knowing that he can't back out from you after you demolished Cotto. His only way to avoid this fight if to make a controversy and divert the blame on you.

I say, FORGET about the GAyweather fight especially now that you will be busy in the coming elections.
The flaws in offering a blood test before and after the fight have already been pointed out by others in this thread. The test will need to be random as these drugs work on calendar cycles that a team can manipulate if they have prior knowldge of when and where the test will take place. A random test means that a fighter must be clean or else there is always the chance that if he is using, then he will be caught. Now, I'm not saying that Pac is guilty, but he is making himself look very suspicious. Bruce, do you not think that full and comprehensive random checking is a good thing for the sport? Isn't it a good idea to know for certain that top level fighters are clean? This is boxing, it isn't ballet. Boxing carries health risks and the risks need to be kept to a minimum. On this basis alone, surely you can see the merits in drug testing?

The argument that Pac should simply not fight Mayweather in order to shut Mayweathers mouth is a weak one. Most people seem to agree that Mayweathers proposal is a good idea. Why not just do what most people think he should do? Both fighters get their dream purse and the fans get a potential FOTY. It's good for everyone to have this done and if Pac is clean then it really shouldn't be a problem. I agree that Mayweather could have fought Cotto and Margarito, but there is only one man backing out of this fight.
