hi guys, my first time posting. long time lurker. i go to different boxing forums but i definitely go to 2 to get my unbiased regular joe opinions: saddo boxing and boxing forums. i gotta say, there are a lot of people who don't like pacquiao here.

you guys are saying pac started it with the out-of-this-world requests with the overweight penalty, ring size, gloves. here's the thing, the penalty is IF mayweather comes in overweight. if he comes in at welter, then no problem ,but if he's over, then that isn't fair is it? the ring size, that's just standards, 24x24 or 20x20, the usual stuff. weight, that's just mayweather trying to get the upper hand, i don't think pac ever weighed more than 150 in his life, why would he agree to 154? gloves, those are just standards, 8 oz for 147, 10 oz for 150(?) up. they're fighting at 147 so they def. have to use 8 oz. now if mayweather didn't come overweight and follow the contract guidelines then there wouldn't be any unfair penalty right?

these are the usual things talked about in contracts ever since pro boxing became all about business. now here comes mayweather asking for something that's never been asked before in pro boxing. i gotta say, its pretty obvious mayweather's really looking for any advantage against pacquiao. i mean come on, if mayweather believes he's the true p4p boxer, he should man up and just face pacquiao. he's got most of the advantages: amateur experience, professional experience, size, reach, weight, defense, boxing fundamentals, maybe even speed. why is he still milking every opportunity to look for an advantage?

if i were him i would just man up. take blood samples before the conference, sometime in the middle of training camp and right after the match. as long as it isn't 3-5 days before fight night. hey maybe you can even do urine tests everyday for the 3 month long training camp if he wants.

p.s. sorry if i posted some incoherent rambling, im kind of multitasking right now.
