Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao and Drug Testing Four Years Later

'WE' or those ****** enough to part with $70 to watch him fight have a right to demand he fights the best.
He took a break ...a long one after Hatton. But I guess you figure that because its floyd its ok to charge an exhorbitant amount of money and get paid tens of millions of dollars for his yearly carefully selected exhibition. I guess it sucks for the tens of thousands of other boxer's getting paid very little and simply cant afford to take a break.

I'm thinking of Magomed as I read this. We all gotta protect $50m a fight floyd for risking his life(swoon). Fook that! Fans like you disgrace the sport with this kind of crap.

If someone has been doing it half or over half their life then I have no problem with them taking a break when they want (Floyd or any boxer). They have earned that right. Boxing does not end with Mayweather. So if you have noticed boxing has been on all year with Floyd fighting only twice. I been overly satisfied, have you?

You are whining because floyd charges a lot of money for his fights. You don't order his fights anyway, so why the **** does it matter what he charges?

Boxers are independent contractors. They have to do what they can to elevate their income. floyd did that. why are you complaining about it.

Abdusalamov has been a pro for less than 5 years, thats why he's fighting more often.

Mugs are born all the time and if you pay for his fights, more fool you. Like I said, FLoyd had already had an extended break and didnt need another one. He ducked the guy, and thats ok, just dont try and say it was anything else because it wasnt.

Its been a great year so far with many great fights. Floyd had said he had come back to fight Manny and for legacy and not money.....he then decides to keep taking holidays. Yeah, I dont like that at all from the sports self proclaimed 'face'. The dude has turned into a cheap rip off merchant and his entire comeback has reminded me of one of those mock auctions where they keep telling you to buy because the really good stuff is coming up next. Instead, we get fat Marquez, Ortiz, Mosley and Guererro. What an absolute joke.

Hey, negotiations obviously have not worked out between the two parties, but I see you might have an agenda and only look to blame Floyd for the ongoings that have not led to the fight.

No not at all. I have a memory that works and I can read. The bulk of the blame lies squarely at Floyds feet, not all, but most of it. The only people that balk at that on this forum are floyd fanboys, its just the way it is.

Manny refused to fight over a silly ped test. the only posters who refuse to acknowledge it are manny's fringe fanbase and posters that dislike floyd.

You are smart(at least I think you are, despite your slavish devotion) enough to know thats bollocks, Dunn. Either that or you have no grasp of the context of all that was going on at that time. I'm a fan of neither fighter per se, I'm a boxing fan who can take a balanced view and see things without them being nuanced by rabid fanboyism. You, sadly cannot say the same as you are a hardcore floyd devotee.
