Everyone knows boxing's doping system is a joke and can be easily manipulated. There have been a lot of rumours about Pacquiao which so far have no evidence but if he is clean he should have no problem taking the test, this scared of needles and blood rubbish doesn't buy in my opinion.charlieb wrote:There are already rules in place that govern this, but they aren't good enough for Floyd?
Who on earth does he think he is? I had Floyd pegged to outbox Manny, but I don't think he fancies the job. Manny shouldn't agree to the demand, he certainly doesn't need Mayweather's scalp as badly as Mayweather needs his! For me it's Floyd who looks bad here, not Manny, why should he agree to rules that no other fighter needs to adhere to just for the privelage of fighting Mayweather?
Mayweather can pull this crap with a guy like Paul Williams or someone who would walk through fire to get him in a ring, but he doesn't have the clout here, he's fighting a man who trumped his best wins with consumate ease and overtook him by beating Cotto.
Mayweather should be on bended knee to get this thing signed and sealed but instead he's asking for the sport's existing rules to be altered before he'll agree to fight. I don't think it's mind games, I don't think he wants the fight, I think he's scared that Manny's the fighter who'll find that family chin.

A week ago Pacman had a tattoo. Today Arum is claiming Pacman is afraid of needles. Something is either very fishy here, or it's just PR to hype up the fight. I REALLY hope it's the latter or we may have another Richard Hall incident.

what a joke of a thread mayweather has made it clear before this fight was made that he thinks pacman may have taken illegal substances hes not asking alot how hard would it be for pacman to give blood, mayweather wants a fair fight and if pacman takes the test mayweather will have no excuses win or lose, im not quite sure who you think you are to call someone like mayweather a joke but if pacman comes back positive for banned substances your going to look a fool and if not the fight will go ahead no1 can lose by him taking the test so why not take it?boxerbob wrote:fed up with his sh.it.....he doesnt want the fight plain and simple.
he calls himself a fighter??? , its just aswell roberto duran , henry armstrong and pernell whitaker are not around in their prime at the moment - these guys fought everybody , no hesitation , no sh.it - they are real fighters
floyd if you or any of your arselickers are looking in - who will you fight if you collapse this mega fight??? - answer : nobody , you have run out of fighting smaller men who were past their prime.
you will need to retire , and good riddance , who made you the king of the olympic doping society??? , there is a guy here in pacman that many think have the tools to beat you and what happens , YOU CHICKEN OUT
$25M-$45M will be your purse if you have the guts to fight manny - you aint making that with anybody else , and to be honest so will many , but he has far many more options as he will fight the best , you handpick your opponents
pacman is the star - you are now the guy who will be known as a coward who ran away from this fight
boxing is a sport for real men , gladiators , warriors , floyd you aint any 1 of them , go away and retire , YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED.
MERRY XMAS
Hes damn right, look how many drugs cheats fall through the net time and again, take a look at the obvious heavyweight Roiders, the likes of Shane Mosley that passed drugs tests etc etcALI wrote: he's sending out the message that boxing in regards to drug testing is unregulated, or at the least that the Neveda State Athletic Commision are not carrying out adequate tests.!
Pat Butcher wrote:Roach on Sky Sports New now!!
He's saying he thinks it's a way of Floyd getting out of the fight!! Strong words. He says Mayweather has hired a company to do the tests and they include several piss and blood tests including one blood test a day before the fight which Freddy Roach says is unacceptable and HE wont allow it.
Also makes the point taht he has no problem with drug tests and will go along with any commission drug rules - decent argument IMO.
Nice to hear from the hosres mouth rather than 3rd party quotes from Golden Boy.
