Manny Pacquiao Agrees To Blood Testing, Taunts Mayweather

[Johnny Truelove]

Manny Paquiao is telling Floyd Mayweather Jr to put up or shut up.

The seven time world champinon has agreed to Olympic Style drug tresting clearing the way for the mega fight everyone wants to see reports ABS-CBN and UK Telegraph.

"So he (Mayweather) will no longer have a reason (not to fight)," Pacquiao said. "Let's see if that is really the reason."

Negotiations for their fight fell apart because Manny refused to agree to blood testing the first time around. But Pac-Man said that's because it's the boxing commision's job to dictate the rules not the fighters.

"I'm a boxer, so why should I interfere with the work of the commission? That's the reason commissions are there, so they can set the rules."

Manny insists blood testing be cut off 14 days to the fight. That shouldn't be a problem at all because testing was stopped 18 days prior to Mayweather's last fight against Shane Mosely says Paquiao's promotor Bob Arum.

"The USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) stopped the blood test... they took 5 or 6 tests but the last one was 18 days for Mosley and 19 days for Mayweather," Arum told ABS-CBN News.

Arum added that this fight which would likely generate one of the biggest purses and television audiences in boxing history, could take place on November 13 in Texas or Las Vegas.

so pac man is done with his last cycle of roids.

so how would that make sense since he hasn't even started training camp and no date is even set?

 

[bgrumpyp]

Lol @ weenie!!
@ironlungs, Thats what i've been trying tell everyone.

Look let me put it this way....when you have a meeting with your p.o and you know your gonna take a drug test, if your clean you show up and take the damn thing NOW if your dirty you just come up with a excuse why you didnt show up in the meen time you figure out a way to get clean.

If pac would've known Floyd was gonna put that demand on him in the first negotiations, he would've got clean before and the fight would of happened already. That's my opinion!

 

[2-0-Sixx]

^^you're opinion is retarded once again because the first time around, Pac hadn't even started training when they were negotiating. Do you understand that if you're going to juice you do so during training? You don't "need to clean up" if you didn't even use to begin with.

Does Mayweather have Plan B and C Excuses Ready to Avoid Pacquiao?

By Giancarlo Malinconico: Floyd Mayweather first agreed, during the negotiations for a March 2010 bout, that Manny Pacquiao must undergo random blood testing up to 14 days before the fight. Now that Pacquiao has agreed to that — surprise — 14 days is not good enough, and now he is demanding that the tests be conducted up to fight night. It is ridiculous to ask for blood testing within days of a fight because blood tests do take a physical toll on fighters. If you want simple evidence of that: just watch the 24/7 series featuring Mayweather and Shane Mosley in which the United States Anti Doping Agency had to wait hours for Mayweather to settle down because it arrived while he was in the middle of training — so much for the notion that drawing less than a teaspoon full of blood doesn’t hurt anybody.

All of the “armchair” accusations that Pacquiao is using Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) are unfounded. Pacquiao is just a better fighter at the higher weights. Pacquiao was knocked out when he was fighting under 120 pounds early in his career, but when he moved up in weight, his body was more solid and he was better able to take punches. When Pacquiao moved up to 135 pounds and higher, he further improved in those aspects while also maintaining his punching power and speed.

Yes, Floyd beat a 38-year-old Shane Mosley who was clearly past his prime. That changes nothing. The fight had 1.4 million pay-per-view buys, a similar number of buys that the Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto bout had. (Besides, something tells me that Pacquiao would have stopped Shane before six rounds if he fought him.) The Plan B excuse Floyd has now for not fighting Manny is that he wants testing up to the day of the fight. If, however, the media begins to criticize Floyd for going back on his original proposal, Floyd can always go to Plan C: request a 60/40 purse split in his favor.

Floyd has already stated that he can make 40 million dollars or more fighting anyone, and that he does not need Manny. Well perhaps Floyd believes that he can fight another past-his-prime fighter with a name or a smaller fighter with a name, and make “close” to the same money he would in an extremely dangerous bout with Pacquiao. I do not agree. If the Floyd-Pacquiao bout does not take place over Floyd’s unreasonable random-drug-testing demand, or a 60/40 purse-split demand, there will be a backlash.

In my heart of hearts, I think Floyd realizes that he is getting older, and a fight with Pacquiao is too risky for him at this point in his career; therefore, the bout will probably not happen – I hope that I am wrong.

Pacquiao Must Demand Random Testing for Xylocaine against Mayweather

By Giancarlo Malinconico: Leonard Ellerbe has stated that Floyd “Money” Mayweather does not use Xylocaine, a drug that works to numb pain. So what? Freddie Roach and others have stated that Manny Pacquiao does not take Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs). Moreover, Pacquiao has never tested positive for PEDs. But Floyd is insisting that Manny be randomly blood tested up until the day of the fight.

Mayweather has not explained why he has not had hand problems in years. And why he will not fight outside of Nevada. Ironically, the United States Anti Doping Agency does not prohibit the usage of Xylocaine. Mayweather used to wear Winning brand boxing gloves, gloves that offer the most protection to a fighter’s hand while diminishing punching power. In 2001, Floyd took a knee because he injured his hands against Carlos Hernandez.

Pacquiao should demand that Mayweather be randomly tested for Xylocaine the same period that Mayweather wants Pacquiao to be tested for PEDs. It is very interesting that a fighter who used to wear Winning gloves, and had a history of hand problems, has not had one ever since he has had a Vegas-only fighting policy. Xylocaine is banned in over 40 states in the U.S. Freddie Roach and Bob Arum must demand that if a fight is to occur between Pacquiao and Floyd that they ignore the Nevada Athletic Commission and make sure that Xylocaine is not allowed to be utilized by either fighter; therefore, the sport of boxing can be cleaned up.

The bottom line is that if the fight happens (I say a 50/50 money split and up to 14-day before fight night random blood testing), Floyd will be knocked out by Pacquiao if he fights toe-to-toe like he did against Shane Mosley. And if he tries to resort to backpeddling, he will lose in even worse fashion than he did against Jose Luis Castillo in their first encounter. Because Floyd has denied using Xylocaine, he should have no problem writing in the contract that its usage be banned in a contest with Pacquiao.

 

[InfamousICON]

Let this shit happen! PBF will pick Manny apart for 12 rounds and win by decision in what will probably be a boring fight that won't live up to the hype, but fuck it, needs to hurry up and happen.

Manny insists blood testing be cut off 14 days to the fight. That shouldn't be a problem at all because testing was stopped 18 days prior to Mayweather's last fight against Shane Mosely says Paquiao's promotor Bob Arum.

Wow. This whole post is trash. Manny turned down the 14 day cut off. That means the basis of this stand on Mayweather is based on a lie. Or, is he is now agreeing to what was given to him by Mayweather in the 1st negotiations? Just come to terms that Manny and his team were the ones backed into a corner. Mayweather is the more powerful of the two when it comes to who is the BIG DOGG of boxing. Mayweather killed him publicly, killed his mental stability, killed his nonsense excuses. Manny's trainer is a buffoon and now they are going to get what they didn't want...a clean fight.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

^^lol. Yeah, manny's trainer, Freddie Roach, the Hall of Fame trainer, 2003, 2006, 2008 & 2009 trainer of the year is a baffoon. Sure.

The only thing you can give mayweather credit for in this scenario is giving boxing a black eye by demanding something so outrageous in the first place and completely disregarding the boxing commissions and acting like HE is boxing, which ultimately made both sides look bad.

And what do you mean they didn't want a clean fight? They AGREED to olympic style testing in the first place, the hang up was the cut off date. Floyd wouldn't budge from 14 days, manny's side wouldn't budge from 20. Learning now that shane/floyd had 18 days, clearly a compromise can be made now.

Like I said earlier the ball is in Floyd's court now, lets see what he does. The press release they gave so far to manny accepting 14 days is "no comment."

 

[The Bay Area]

The only thing Floyd get's credit for is giving boxing a black eye? For demanding outrgeous tests? Use your two good eyes and look around the world of sports. Athelete's are fessing up to years of doping and rating out the ones who are still competing, meaning these cheaters haven't been caught. Manny and his team of retards are FORCED to come to the table and reevaluate the drug testing. Floyd SHOULD use his leverage off the Shane fight and continue for what he originaly started, random testing all the way up to the fight. Fuck Manny and his catchweight fighting ass.

I decided to stop posting in this forum a while back and this thread reminds me why. there's a bunch of idiots that post here, that actually believe floyd wants to "clean-up" the sport of boxing. even though there's strong evidence that he's using xylocaine himself. then there's a few people on here that actually know what they're talking about and they try to instill logic into the muppets here, but to no avail.

some people just enjoy being stupid I guess.

I don't believe Foyd gives a damn about the "clean up the sport" thing. You are missing the point of this whole thing. It is his actions, whether they are true to his statments or not that are good for the sport of boxing. As far as the xylocaine thing Freddy Roach is on youtube saying that he uses it with his fighters and doesn't consider it a steroid.

Once again. No cares if Floyd is righteous his actions have brought about and issue that needs to be addressed. Boxing has a chance to look good for a change. Manny can't hide for long behind fans such as yourself who concentrate on the wrong issue.

Yes man, this whole thing gave boxing a bad eye, everyone wants to see floyd vs pac, no one was saying anything about steroids or accusing anyone of anything until Floyd Sr. started talking shit, that's what started the whole mess. Everyone looks bad. You accuse someone of steroids, WITHOUT PROOF, and that's ugly man, because some people believe it. Clearly like yourself, when the fact is you don't know if did or not. It becomes a witch hunt.

Use your two good eyes and look around the world of sports. Athelete's are fessing up to years of doping and rating out the ones who are still competing, meaning these cheaters haven't been caught.

Boxing has drug testing. Boxing has been catching PED users for a while now (Vargas, James Joney, Roy Jones, etc etc etc etc etc). This isn't the 90's when EVERY sport turned a blind eye, no people are getting caught and being suspended.

Floyd SHOULD use his leverage off the Shane fight and continue for what he originaly started, random testing all the way up to the fight.

Wow so you're more a fan of Floyd and his terms then the actual sport of boxing. That's amazing. Everyone wants to see the fight happen except a few crazies that sided with Floyd so much they'd rather be RIGHT then have the fight happen.

Fuck Manny and his catchweight fighting ass.

Pacquiao has fought one catchweight fight in his career.

Floyd has fought one catchweight fight in his career, except he didn't even bother making weight and paid $600,000 to Marquez as a result.

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

Jeebus christ my head hurts from reading all these idiot responses.. some people on here know** jack shit about boxing..

 

[MOREBASS]

Its just funny because all of a sudden, people are advocates of additional testing, and the lack of efficiency of State athletic commission testing.


Where the fuck were you guys before this whole thing happened?


Someone please dig up a post, thread, even a mention of the lack of testing here before this whole shit happened.


During Floyd's 2 year retirement, why wasn't this addressed? Why wasn't it until there was someone who stood a legitimate chance at beating him, did his concern for the sport come up?


You're a fucking clueless moron if you think Floyd's demand has anything to do with cleaning up the sport.

 

[UCDgreek]

i like to use words in bold to stress my point

I guess, since your specialize in retardedness!

 

[Dirty Nappy]

Its so funny to watch peoples hated of mayweather cloud their judgement.
I like em both idc I just wanna see the fight happen.

Mayweather Sr. Rules out Pacquiao fight.

By Ronald C Charles: Floyd Mayweather Sr has never been short of a word and his latest accusation is just ridicules. Mayweather Sr told CBS radio during a recent interview he feels Manny Pacquiao has had sufficient time to clean his body of performance enhancing drugs.

“Why the sudden change of mind?” asked Mayweather Sr, “Pacquiao walked away from the opportunity to face my son in March, so why has he had a sudden change of mind and is now agreeing to all forms of testing”.

“Why do you think that is?

You tell me why?”

Mayweather asked the interviewer, when no response was forthcoming Mayweather Sr went on to say “Six months have passed, sufficient time to clear your body of any illegal substance, that’s why.

The claim is Ironic, Mayweather Sr was asked, If Pacquiao was using (which I doubt) one thing is for sure if he’s agreeing to Floyd request for Olympic style testing surly this will leave no questions and both camps will know for sure neither man is on any performance enhancing drugs.

One writer from the examiner.com may have hit the nail on the head. Roger Allen suggested Manny Pacquiao might have been looking ahead to the Philippines elections, and a defeat against Mayweather could have severely affected his voting numbers, this might answer the question with regards to the sudden change of mind.

Listen, Said Mayweather Sr, “let me educate you on something, if your body has been receiving substances to improve your athletic ability over a long period of time then you stop, your body may be clean but you have taken your body to a place it otherwise would not have been, Just because you have stopped taking, does not mean your body is no longer benefiting from the years of use”.

Now I’m no nutritionist or conditioning coach, but Daddy Mayweather’s comments did make sense to the uneducated among us, it does seem a realistic possibility that an individual can still harvest the benefits from years of use, even when stopped. But again I must stress this assumption is all based on whether Manny Pacquiao is or has ever used any kind of performance enhancers, which I doubt.

Floyd Mayweather Jr himself stated “I gave Pacquiao a chance, up to 14 days from the fight. But my new terms are all the way up to the fight. They can come get us whenever, all the way up to the fight, random drug test. That’s what it is,” Mayweather was quoted as saying.

Mayweather Jr has made clear that the United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) will decide when the testing is carried out. All testing should be random up to the day of the fight, “I fail to realise the problem as both of us will be subject to these rules”.
Mayweather Sr, was asked about his recent statement of having reservations regarding his son fighting a southpaw. “It does not matter what stance Pacquiao fights, my son will never fight him”.

Damn, they are looking for any way out lol.
