Mayweather v Mosley

[Mar]

Take the test.......mosely did, Floyd did, he's the only one keeping it from happening

[Oggie]

Yeah, what is up with Merchant trying to put the blame on Floyd for Manny not willing to get tested? Is Larry juicing too or something?

Larry has a rational hatred for him, as do I.

[Spicoli]

I didnt even see the fight but did it remind anyone of Mosley/Wright

Boxing commentators used to be unbiased...which is what it should be.

RIP Don Dunphy

I believe the blame can be shared equally by both sides. The point of negotiation is to reach an agreement which is feasible to both sides. Not you guys do this or else. You must give Pacquiao's team credit they were willing to compromise. We saw on 24/7 how invasive and how irritating the testing process can be. They should just meet in the middle and get the fight done. You have to realize how ridiculous Mayweather's requests are in theory. Imagine Bill Belichick saying the Patriots won't play the Colts unless they do his drug testing. Mayweather isn't above the commission. Let's just meet in the middle and get the fight already.

And 10,000,000 a pound is feasible? Mayweather didnt just compromise with Pac, he flat agreed. Its Pacs fault the fight didnt go ahead. Half a dozen little blood tests for $40,000,000+

If Manny is clean then whats the problem?

IMO theres only one reason he refused to take the tests...

The issue that most ignore is that boxing has virtually no valid drug testing. Other sports are more sophisticated. There are few rules in boxing; many are negotiated by the fighters

[Truth]

Everyone has to realize we're dealing with multimillionaires here. Do you really think it's that financially significant to Pacquiao or his handlers to feel as if he's being bullied in the negotiation process.

[hawkporvida]

even if pacman waS TAKING steriods do you really think he would risk it all for roids i think not its just another excuse to delay the fight until pacman loses loses some confidence then ull here run mayweather talk his shit

[Oggie]

Although I'm no Floyd fan, what he and Mosley did in the run up to the fight with regard to testing can only be a good thing. Surely nobody can disagree with that? A totally level playing field is best for every sport.
If Manny truly respects the sport, he'll take the tests and will contribute to a better and safer future for boxing in the process. Mayweather didn't invent the testing system, he is simply using the most comprehensive one currently in place. A good thing, no?

The second part of drug bit is not really true. As far as the testing goes they pretty much all use the same testing facilities. It's only that different people collect the samples and even that is outsourced. Each state has it's own commission and their own policy on testing. Nevada had already implemented non-competition random testing where fighters would gain the most benefit from enhancers and it was even before the issue of Mayweather/Pacquiao.

Come on Pacman just piss in a bottle!!

Always had my suspicions regarding Pac and wheter or not he's juiced up in some way if im honest .... just the way he carries that KO power up through such huge weight changes

Anyway...

Khan just whips his out no questions asked...

Maybe he can have a word with Manny down at the Wildcard
