Mayweather: If Pacquiao Won't Get Drug Tested, No Fight!

By Mark Vester

Following his dominating twelve round decision over Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Floyd Mayweather Jr. stayed firm on his position when it came to the subject of a fight with Manny Pacquiao. Unless Pacquiao agrees to the random Olympic-style drug tests, Mayweather says the fight will not happen.

The two sides were in talks earlier in the year. The fight fell apart because Pacquiao and Mayweather could not agree on the cut-off date for the random drug tests. Pacquiao wanted the tests to stop 24-days prior to the fight and Mayweather them to continue until 14-days prior to the fight. Recently Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach told BoxingScene.com that he was willing to compromise and meet Mayweather halfway, at 17-days. Mayweather is probably not going to agree to a cut-off date the second time around. He is going to push for the testing period to continue until the day of the fight.

"If Manny Pacquiao wants to fight, it's not hard to find me. We were going to make this fight happen a couple of months back. We couldn't make it happen, so we moved on," Mayweather said.

"All I want to do is be on an even playing field. If every athlete is clean, than take the test. I'm willing to take the test. Like I've said before, if Manny Pacquiao takes the blood and urine tests, we can make the fight happen for all the fans. [If he doesn't] then we don't got no fight."

:crafty: So,.....anyone got a problem with this?...

 

Sounds pretty fair to me, especially if there's 50 million in the picture and my integrity is being questioned.:dunno:

 

There is too much money for this fight not to happen.

 

You would think so. But something very suspicious and contraversial happenned last time.

 

According to you only Joe. Floyd and Pacman apparently could give 2 sh*ts by the looks of it. Do you see Floyd desperate for this fight? He said straight up, take the drug test or no fight. He'd rather retire undefeated anyway.

 

Who cares, Pac is limited and it will be another Leonard/Duran No Mass fight .... Doesn't matter anyway, with the way things are going for Mayweather, Pac will decide to fight like Willie Pep's "Don't throw a punch and still win the round" fight for all 12 rounds ... I mean hey. why not ??? Hatton decided to box from the outside, Mosely had Parkinsons, DLH had his gloves punched until he lost .... Whatever, its all good !!!! The greatest that ever lived !!!!

 

I agree with this.

 

Why are you still on this site! I thought you would have been gone. I'll Holla 5000

 

It was a good victory Bigdawg, Fraud won it, and proved his NATURAL talents. Pity about his narccistic, sociopathic, gangster personality.

 

That's all for show and marketing. I'll Holla f@@@

 

Evidence points to the contrary I'm afraid Bigdawg,.. for example, in his own free time he rang up the Rugged man on the radio and spent 30 minutes screaming and even crying on the phone, shivering with rage and instability,.. the evidence that he's a genuine narccistic sociopath is overwelming. If he's a different person to what you're alluding to, nobody has ever witnessed it, except for perhaps the one minute he says something respectful before contradicting himself in the next.

 

I'm a boxing fan, dawg! I can't just leave you guys! It's all about the love and support for our sport! :kidcool: I ain't going till boxing itself dies!

 

I say if Pacquiao isn't going to agree to the test then just say it now and don't waste our time coming to the negotiating table trying to negotiate hours or days between tests. Floyd set a precedent, he should take it. You're either clean or your not.

 

No reason for us to fight Lib four Lib, no reason for us to fight. ::

 

Manny has followed the rules given (since he has never been caught). If Floyd has a right to come up with his own rules, then Manny should make up some demands too

 

According to several reports, Pacquiao watched the fight in the Philippines and afterwards spoke to Manilla radio station DZBB. Pacquiao said that he's willing to agree to the random blood testing, but only if the blood testing has a cut-off date of 24-days.

"For me, as long as the drug test is not done close to the match, I'll agree because if they'll get blood from me close to the match, it will be a disadvantage for me because I'm smaller and he's big,'' Pacquiao said.


:laughing: ,..

 

:atu:

If that interview is for real, then it is very obvious Manny does not want to take the tests.

Can't really blame him though. There have been no real doping tests in boxing in years and no change of rules has been in sight. Thus it is just plausible that he has been roiding meanwhile. What gives Floyd the right to change the rules?

 

Well actually, he enforces boxing's own rules in the most advanced possible way, as I thought performance enhancing drugs were illegal to use in boxing?..

 

Rules don't mean shit if they are not enforced. Since boxers have been able to trust that they are not tested for real (never during training seasons, easy tests afterwards) then there has not been real ruling against doping. In top level sports everything that is not strictly illegal is accepted, that's how you have to approach it to win.

If the commission that sanctions this fight changes its doping ruling, starts testing during training seasons and gives a two-year ban for testing positive, I would be very happy. But it can't work so that one fighter comes up with his own rules. Otherwise Manny could demand that they have the fight without gloves

 

Manny already demanded Cotto weigh in at 145 to defend his own welterweight title,.. did that clause fundamentally benefit the sport in any way?.. and yes, the commission certainly doesn't enforce it's own rules, referees dont enforce the rules either, it's a filthy, corruption riddled game, thus since the commission refuses to update it's testing apparatus in accordance with thier rule of no performance enhancing drugs, it's up to a fighters right in a contract clause to protect themselves from doping feinds,..unfortunately it takes Fraud's unique financial position to implement it against Pedquiao.

 

No, that was bullshit too and another example of demands that are ruining the sport

 

The only thing stronger drug testing ruins, is the chance for a corrupt fighter to cheat.

 

"Shane came to me and asked me about a fight with Manny. I asked him if he can make 143 lbs and he said no. So we don't have a fight. He said but you fought De la Hoya at 147 lbs and I said you're not De la Hoya - you're better then him."- Freddie Roach

Must be the Parkinson that makes him tell the truth all the time. So this means

Mosley 143 = Cotto 145 = DLH 147= Mayweather ???

But Mayweather is always the one looking to gain an unfair advantage over his opponent.

Time to Man-ny up.

:dunno:
and i still havent seen this fight.. round 2 sounds good though, .

 

Wladimir Klitschko beats guys like Floyd does, he just doesn't have gay brothers come on the net afterwards and spunk wildly into their webcams over it.

 

Actually team Pacquiao made the demands first. You do remember the infamous 10 million dollar for every pound over the weight limit fine don't you?

Look, like I said, Floyd already fought someone who agreed to the test and he's sticking to that precedent. If Manny isn't going to agree to it without trying to change it to work his way, he should just STFU and go on with his career and forget about Floyd.

 

OMG :atu:

 

Almost converted :bears::crafty:

 

I believe Wladimir goes on the net and does it himself.

tell us what you really think Irish? LOL.

 

I believe, pfp, the guys Wladimir is beating up are better the old, tired, washed up guys who are supposedly massive, massive risks for Floyd. By the time these guys get round to fighting Floyd, they either too old, or too small, or too outweighed, or too tired or whatever. Mosley used to be a good fighter.....but the man is pushing 40.
