Manny Pacquiao Vs. Floyd Mayweather: Nevada Athletic Commission Steps To Settle Bickering - UPDATE
The Manny Pacquiao Vs. Floyd Mayweather fight is already leaving a trail of jabs and they haven't even entered the ring yet. The on-again,off-again back and forth has entered a new chapter. Pacquiao recently released his own statement saying he would still do the three blood tests, one at the beginning press conference in January, one 30 days before the bout and one directly after the bout, with random unlimited urine tests. However Bob Arum, Pacquiao’s promoter said he would let Mayweather present experts to share their opinion to the Nevada commission on a January 19th meeting with them and let them decide what is to be done. The latter sounds okay.
Arum told the L.A. Times “We’ll allow Golden Boy [Mayweathers interests] to present experts to the commission to explain why additional testing is required, and we’ll explain our position. Then we’ll let the Nevada commission decide. If Nevada says we need to do more testing, we’ll do more, but if they don’t, we won’t.
“If the commission says both fighters have to give blood as they’re walking into the ring, we’ll do it. But I want the commission saying it, not some outside group with an agenda. If they say no to this, that shows they don’t want the fight,” said Arum.

I hope all of this fuss is only marketing gimmick. Otherwise it is simply because FM is a simply COWARD and OVERRATED boxer. Period.

Psychologically, Floyd has some fears to overcome. He wants to retire undefeated so he avoid fighters of his stature... Mosley, Cotto, Margarito and Pacquiao.
If you idolized your uncle Roger, you have to fight the best there is, like what he did in fighting Sugar Ray Leonard even he lost.
If you continue to avoid Manny and the three I mentioned earlier, your fears will continue to haunt you in your next lifetime.
Face your fears Floyd and fight the enemy inside the ring not in the papers..
Brother, come on.

Mayweather is afraid of Pacman. He knows total retirement will follow after knocking out by Pacman. Morales, Barera, Dela Hoya retired after the fight. Even Hatton has tendency to retire after the fight. Gud bye Mayweather!!!

gayweather is a great fighter and likes grand standing with the press and always talk@#$%!s! this issue on drug testing are 1) all media hype to create box office record, sold out tickets & pay-per-view revenues. 2) taking blood from manny before the big fight will surely reduce pacman' knockout strength, pink floyd and gayweather sr. knows this wont affect floyd if similar test will be taken coz floyd is a bigger man than manny 3)pink floyd gayweather is once again using his old tactics to shy away from pacman just as he did in avoiding mosley and retiring from boxing.

ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I SEE IS , IF THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT MANNY PACQUIAO IS IN SOME KIND OF STEROIDS BECAUSE OF HIS STRENGTH AND STAMINA COMING UP AL THE WAY FROM 112 POUNDS TO 147 POUNDS AND WINNING AGANST MUCH STRONGER FIGHTERS, THEN THE SAME RULES AND FINAL CONCLUSION MOST APPLY TO FLOYD MAYWEATHER.FLOYD MAYWEATHER,JR . MAYWEATHER STARTED ARAUND 106 POUNDS AS AN AMATEUR, IN THE OLYMPICS HE WAS A FEATHERWEIGHT (AROUND 122-125 POUNDS) YET HE HAS GAINED WEIGHT UP TO 147 AND STILL HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BEAT ALL HIS OPPONENTS WOTH EASE WITHOUT LOOSING ANY SPEED , ABILITY, STRENGTH OR STAMINA ON THE PROCESS.IS HE TOO ON STEROIDS? OR IS HE JUST A FREAK OF NATURE THAT IS ABLE TO GAIN 30+ POUNDS WITHOUT LOOSING HIS ABILITIES,STAMINA AND POWER.
MAKE AN ANALYSIS AND YOU'LL COME TO A LOGICAL CONCLUSION.

FOOD FOR THE GREY MATTER:
IF MANNY PACQUIAO IS USSING STEROIDS AND HAS BEEN ABLE TO BEAT THE TESTS DONE BY THE NEVADA STATE COMMISSION, THEN ASSUMING THAT FLOYD MAYWEATHER,JR IS SMARTER AND SLICKER THAN PACQUIAO ,HE WOULD'NT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS TO EASILY BEAT THE SAME TESTS GIVEN BY THE NEVADA STATE COMMISSION.

the point is there is already a governing body who set rules and checks boxers drug testing issue. in this case its the nevada athletic commission. now if theres a problem on the procedure or methods used its the responsibility of the commission and not of gayweather! if he insists on this issue (which he abides by through the years of his boxing career until he face pacquiao) maybe he should once again go to retirement and be a doctor or be a member of a commission in charge of drug testing.

It's proof that anyone can get on these sites and type away. So Here I GO.... To ALL of the Haters;
Boxingfan,Boxme, John, Eric Fuentes, Rainjiit Kumar, Raff, I address this to YOU.. Boxing is a sport that much like other sports is asking a man to be faster and stronger than the other person. I have heard upsurd things such as Pacman being from a third world country and how is it possable to for him to trick or get past any drug test... The fact is this, if this fight does not happen, it is simply because Manny does not agree to the initial contract set up from the very beginning with this fight.

Mayweather never said he wouldnt fight em, al Pacman needs to do is take a drug-test whats so hard about that. If theres rumors that he been using it only smart to protect yourself. Pacman take the damn drug-test and lets get this fight on the road. I wonder why Pacman willing to walk away from the biggest payday in history, because he dont like needles, Sorry not buying it.

The point is - this is no longer Merrygayweather term as usual. Gayweather might as well realize now that he cannot push buttons like he's used to anymore. He is the challenger and Manny is the reigning Champ. Pacquiao is more in a position to call the shots rather than Gayweather. Pacquiao fights the BIGGEST fights that comes his way one after another. Gayweather very cautiously selects the less formidable fights that do not pose more risks of losing - he like gay fights.

who said manny is dont want a drug test? manny is a sportsman and is always willing to submit to any governing body but not on floyds terms (he is not a champ anyways), in fact pacman submitted himself to a random urine testing just recently as required by Nevada State Athletic Commission right after this drug test issue exploded, manny was cleared to any form of drug enhancing substance in all his fights, true to mayweather's camp demands, manny will also submit for a blood extracting test before a media conference, 30 days before the fight and right after fight night, so whats floyds camp worries about drug issue? is he afraid of manny? common floyd this is boxing go to the ring up against manny and box!

No more random test, they should just simultaneously do the blood test at the weight-in, then both things will surely be equal. I do not think Manny will have a problem with that, he sees Floyd having his blood drawn, Floyd gets to see Manny giving blood in person. only 1 draw each, if a failure to extract blood for tests happens, then testing should stop and fight should proceed without further ado.

Mayweather has lost all respectability.He is just plain scared to fight Pac Man because he knows he will lose so he creates all kinds of bs so that the fight never happens. He has lost credibility with me and I will never buy any of his fights again. I will however pay to see Pac Man knock-out that scared coward. Mayweather is a straight up little girl.
