End of Day 2 of Mediation - No Agreement - They say fight is off

[hitmanhatton]

i see where you're coming from. and i do agree about manny and the question marks next to his name because of certain allegations from a convicted drug dealer. but lets put ourselves in mannys shoes here for a moment. if you had a history of being outsmarted in a fight negotiation. for example, he was outhussled in the negotiations during the first morales fight by his own promoter. he was forced to use winning gloves instead of reyes, his blood was drawn two days before the fight and he believed that weakened him. the same pattern of negotiating floyd used. wanting to fight at 154, 10 oz gloves and random blood testing. well only the random blood testing worked against pacquiao.

There is no denying that Mayweather is a dick. He has always been a dick and that is why I don't like him, but it's a shame that Manny has turned out to be a bit of a dick too. Mayweather might be a ducker, but he's never going to have the stigma of drug abuse hanging over him.

At the end of the day Mayweathers demand is one that many professional athletes have to go through, so to turn down 40million big ones over a needle is just crazy. The fight was there to be made and the best Manny can do is to suggest a blood test 24 days before the fight. That is ridiculous, does he really need 3 weeks plus to get over a blood test and get himself in the zone? It's such a crock of shit and just makes him look like he is hiding something.

i know 40 million is a HUGE amount of money and could be the biggest to be made in a fight but you guys forgot where manny came from. he came from absolutely nothing so i think money is not the issue here. and ok. 24 days before the fight is a bit weak but how about right after the fight? everybody keeps on overlooking that fact. you dont think PEDS would be detected right after the fight?

no they wont be using come fight week, there is no point, PED's are mainly used in the buildup to the fight for training purposes, and cycled out by fight night, the tests need to be random, even if say give a window of a week before the fight when no tests will be done

To add to that, what's the point of testing after the fight only anyway? If the purpose of this is to prevent someone that is dirty from using PEDs in a fight why would you wait until AFTER the fight to find out? The whole point is to prevent someone that is using PEDs from getting in the ring.

'The fight is off': Arum blames Mayweather for failed mediation - USATODAY.com

[KananKrus]

If the Mayweathers wanted this fight, as they are leading the public to believe, then they should have just raised the steroids issue "after" the fight and not before the fight. Just so that the fight happens.

Vargas looked juiced up, but De La Hoya still beat the living daylights out of him anyways.

Win or lose, for the fight to happen is money in the bank. As "moneymay" ya would think, would have it... eh?

Win, could have been tooo much heaven. Lose, gives them a built-in easy out... the 'roid card.

But nooooo! Nothin' should threaten the "0".

what ? are you being serious, how are they going to prove anything after the fight the whole point is to make sure pac isnt on anything for the fight, not to try and use it as an excuse afterwards

[skel1983]

Mayweather didnt agree to the following so who really is to blame?
Im sorry but for me shows Mayweather doesnt want to fight Pac.


1. blood test before the Press Conference
2. blood test 24 days before the fight
3. blood test at the dressing room right after the fight (if anyone took any substance as aid for the fight, it wouldn't magically disappear fifteen minutes after right?)
4. unlimited urine testing during the whole training period (urine testing is the prescribed method by WADA to detect EPO and is now developed by USADA to detect HGH)

how could any sane boxer cheat with this?

missing the point big time here

all those blood tests listed , before th conference, 24 days before etc arent random much has been made and posted of the fact that a pre planned test can be easilly decieved, as for after the fight, once again, the ped's will have been taken for training purposes not right before the fight,

That really is a tiny tiny window for manny to cheat during his training and then he gets tested too after the fight

The whole world is watching him and the flomos will be very vigilant. do you really think manny will attempt to be even go near anything illegal?

If i was floyd and i really really want to fight manny, and i already told the whole world prior that i can beat him roids or no roids, i should have at least compromised a little like manny already did (all the blood test weren't NSAC ruling after all)

Thats funny I read the same specialists that you are referring to say that its a joke to have scheduled blood tests, that you could certainly cycle around them... Besides Mayweather is willing to go through the same tests so I think your point loses its validity...

Not to mention teenage gymnasts and ice skaters random blood test and they wont even make a fraction of what Pussiauo will make for this fight.

So emotional hormonal teenage Hannah Montana and twilight watching girls are willing to submit random blood tests. But the supposed PFP#1 in one of the most brutal combat sports in the world with a whole country on his back and potential 40 million dollars in his pocket and HE WONT FUCKIN DO IT? Anyone who dosent think thats absurd is an absolute fuckin nutter.. The guy is hiding something!!!!

I watched Major League Ball Players pull this same shiit for years until they got caught and the ones who didnt get caught or proven guilty wont even sniff the Hall Of Fame either. It's all Bullshit 24 days? GET REAL!!, he didnt move shit at all, at least counter with 10 days or something. Yet you blame Mayweather because he didnt move

In the bigger picture random blood testing and some kind of organized union is the best damn thing that can happen to the sport so it weeds cheaters out and removes the corruptness that we complain about after every damn high profile fight... Again if Pac had to do it alone thats one thing but he he has tattoos and the rest of his half baked excuses are exactly that, the little shit will lose more blood in the 1st three rounds of the fight than he would from a blood test a day or 2 before

40 million dollars. ok.. its a HUGE amount. but you are confusing manny for money. 40 million dollars cannot buy dignity my friend. you forgot that manny came from having nothing.
and 10 days? didnt you read what mayweather wanted? he wanted random testing. even if manny said that 5 days before the fight cut off floyd would still say no.

I don't know if it is true, but people all over the internet are saying that there are special steroids that can be out of the system in a few hours like 16-18 hours. Of course I haven't read any scientific journal that acknowleges this claim.

But if it is true that there are special PEDs that can be out of the system in a few hours, wouldn't it make sense that random blood testing even up to the fight is needed?

supposedly certain drugs such as IGF-1 can only be detected by muscle biopsy so its certainly possible

That is absolutely rediculous. If you believe someone is cheating in a way that could possibly cause you serious bodily harm, why would you wait until AFTER they've done it to complain about it? What good did it do Billy Smith to bring up the "doctored gloves" issue AFTER he took a 10 round beating and was never able to fight again?

Hypothetically speaking, if Floyd took the fight, and was beaten by a roiding Pacquiao, any talk of a "steroid issue" would be looked at as the mandatory "face saving excuses" that nearly all fighters bring up after a stinging loss. People would say "well if he fear Pac was juicing, why didn't he bring it up BEFORE the fight?"

[Beanflicker]

This is incredible, though. I never bothered to follow all the mediation and back-and-forth between the camps, because there was never a doubt in my mind that the fight would happen. Too much money at stake. Now we have two ATG's, p4p, in their prime, who are here to fight but won't because of some stupid drug-testing issue.
