I hope for him that it's true otherwise, here comes the lawsuit but indeed, this is getting quite interesting...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cHRG...ayer_embedded#at 2:00, Atlas states that some reliable sources of him told him that the Pacquiao Clan wrote 2 mails to the Mayweather's camp.
Interesting find, but it's utterly absurd: Why would anyone from the Pacquiao camp send out such e-mails? E-mails that YOU KNOW the Mayweather camp would be all over, and would have already put together a press release containing such e-mails, if such e-mails existed.

I like Atlas. He's a bit of a nut and makes off-the-wall observations sometimes, but he's really a good guy, which isn't too common in such a disgustingly corrupt sport; however, I think this is all conjecture and he said, she said drivel. Mayweather -- along with his camp -- has made claims; those claims haven't been validly substantiated, and they have also been used -- in my humble opinion -- to exploit the lagging interest in a near dead sport, sell tickets and engage in psychological warfare.

Humans are fairly predictable, and greed conquers all - particularly in this sport. The fight WILL happen, its just a matter of when.

As a Pacquiao fan, and as a person who has used anabolics in my distant past, I can't say definitively that he's not dopping. However, I've followed Pac's ascent through the ranks for years, and I can see nothing that would lead me to believe that he's used anabolics or G.H.

The fact that he doesn't want to be tested shortly before the fight doesn't make much sense and seems to lend itself to the idea that this decision is governed by superstition on Pacquiao's part. These are boxers, folks. They aren't calculating the expansion rate of the universe or working on String Theory.

I think that Mayweather is doing a wonderful job of selling a fight which may potentially trump all other boxing events. Although unlikely, I hope he does a far worse job in the ring and gets the thorough leveling he has coming to him in the not so distant future.
