Comments Thread For: Top Rank's Statement on Pacquiao-Mayweather Situation

[switchsouthpaw]

And Pac will be fighting Yuri Foreman....in front of a lot fewer people. Brilliant!!!

At least on paper capturing another title (I didn't say it was legitimate) but never the less on paper challenging for a belt in yet another weight class, what does Mayweather gain from fighting Matthew Hatton? Where is Mayweather going to go? You know he isn't going to fight anyone with a pulse. Right now Leonard Ellerbe is Skyping with Henry Bruseles and Sharmbe Mitchell, seeing what they are up too.

This statement scares me, fight could really be in jeopardy, Arum doens't offer anything new here. The Mayweather camp is suspecting Pacquiao of taking Growth Hormones and those are only detectable threw blood test, and that only 48 hours after they were taken, you guys can check it out here:



So I have a bad feeling Mayweather will pull out since those urine tests have no value to him. He doens't want to risk going in the ring with a little Filipino hulk.

I don't care what they agree on I just want to see the fight a fair fight. this could ruin my holiday.

Why not reduce the number of random tests to like 2, just make this fight happen!

If that is the case, then it should be detected right after the fight which Roach agreed on to have a blood test taken right after the fight. Or it wouldn't matter if it is taken weeks or several days before the fight, then it wouldn't be detected anyway if it only has a window of 48hrs. MY point is, Roach's issue of blood test not being taken 1 or 2 days before the fight shouldn't be an issue with Floyd. So Roach's proposal of 1 before the press conference, 2nd one 30 days before the fight, and 3rd one after the fight should be sufficient, fair, and honest. Floyd's camp should agree to those terms, i don't see any problem with those dates at all.

I still have to wonder why Pacquiao's camp is so sensative of not having blood drawn a month before the fight. I could see the week, but maybe they should negotiate 2 weeks into the fight.

Though hopefully it gets done regardless

I'll give you two reason........no offence!

Having blood drawn a day or few days before a fight may cause hematoma on the extraction site (antecubital fossa)....even if it was done by an experienced phlebotomist........

Performance enhancing drugs cannot be easily washed out of the system.....having blood drawn 1 month before and few minutes after a fight would detect any drugs taken........the result just makes no difference if it's taken within 1 month prior to a fight unless one's intention is to disrupt his opponent training which is pure harassment....

It doens't say so on the site but I read that it's only detectable 24 to 48 hours after use, and that's why they haven't caught too many athletes using it, so if he would stop taking them a week prior to the fight it wouldn't be detectable.

BTW, I don't think he's taking any, not willingly anyways. if he has it's Ariza, I really didn't like the statement he made when he said I feed by boxers they don't know what they eat, sounded fishy

The point giver feels it is only human nature to give points during the holiday season.

Happy holidays, human, from the point givers.

Ok now thats fair enough i'm done hearing about this ****!!!! Manny is bein very resonable for a fighter who hasnt had a dirty past.. Y ridicule a man who has a clean record?? Floyd acts like he's fighting margarito or somehing!!!! I'm done wit this..

God what part of set test dates allowing for cycles to be crafted around them do you not understand?

[spinika7]

I have a question. Why do they need to know the schedule of the testing? Why do they need to know exactly when thier fighter is getting tested??

That is a complete cop out!!!!!

So they know when they have to appear clean.
