Comments Thread For: Arum Speaks Out on Hauser Article and Mayweather's IV

[aboutfkntime]

Arum hasn't spoken about this issue prior to now because it is a non-issue and he knows it. He knew about it prior to the fight. He has had four months since the fight to file a protest if he thought Floyd did something wrong and he hasn't. He knows that there was no cheating and that Pacquaio lost to a superior fighter.

The only people who think or want this to be an issue are haters like Thomas Hauser and the nitwits who have posted 1,000 messages on this message board about it.

Really hard to argue with the bold.

Arum would never pass up an opportunity to dump on Mayweather.

He's saying they were under a non disclosure agreement, but now it's in the public and he's free to comment.

Bud, this is now all over the mainstream media. People that never heard of PBC are talking about it. It's really no shock here, there's been lots of smoke coming from the Floyd camp for a while, and at this point USADA is totally discredited in boxing. It really fits Floyd's character to a tee, just the type of guy that would do something like that while pointing fingers at others. Remember catchweights?

[mathed]

Not only does Bob Arum not know where the high road is, he doesn't know it exists.

If he could do something, he would.

Bob is laughing right now while Floyd is threatening to fire Ellerbe.

[spanishboxing]

ahaha are you serious ?

Pac killed a superfight by refusing random blood tests, then he provided 8 absurd excuses..... excuses that were a lot worse than rehydration, and excuses that suddenly disappeared in 2015.

It seems that you either forgot or accepted that rubbish.

Any reason why ?

Oh right, its Floyd-bash time, gotcha.

I know that hes a ****, and that this is likely lots of fun..... but please be careful not to strain your back as you flip-flop shamelessly over this

Bringing the past won't save Floyd situation now...Floyd dehydration excuse doesn't add up. .since he says he walks at 150..and can still make 140..then why the dehydration issues if ur a small WW. .either he walks at a higher weight or he's hiding something by taking the iV TUE..he broke the rules by taking that amount and at home. .plus it was granted weeks after the fight. .would u had defend any other fighter doing the same things?

Arum and his attack dog Thomas Hauser can cry all they want, they are getting nowhere with this latest attempt to smear Floyd. The fact is that USADA knew about the IV beforehand and there were no illegal substances in it. It's a non-issue.

[BrometheusBob.]

Nah, I dont roll like that.

For example, your reply to me..... it really does sound like you know that Pac was juicing, but have decided not to worry about it right now.

Pac supporters have no right to enter into a discussion regarding PED's.

Previously, I have totally refused to discuss PED's with pacfans.

Why would I allow/assist somebody to flip-flop shamelessly in front of me?

Mayweather is fair game right now, I got no real problem with that..... but I will not sit quietly while a pacfan tries to insinuate that this situation somehow compares with the Pacquiao situation back in 09/10.

Mayweather did not refuse to be tested.
Mayweather did not kill a superfight by refusing to comply with USADA.
Mayweather did not make 8 ridiculous excuses, that were proven wrong.
Mayweather did not make an unprecedented weight gain.
Mayweather did not drop down in weight, after agreeing to be tested.
Mayweathers punch output did not drop, after agreeing to be tested.

Dont wanna bring up old shht, just sayin.....

lol comply with USADA. Mayweather probably had god knows what loopholes cooked into those like he did in this fight. But I will concede that Pacquiao's fear of needles was baloney.

When was this unprecedented weight gain for Manny? People seem to continually forget that Manny actually worked up rather gradually in weight and was draining himself to make the weight for his fights for a long time whereas Mayweather was fighting closer to his in-ring weight. If you compared in-ring weight over time, you'd be surprised how similar it was for Pacquiao and Mayweather. Many people point to Pac having been a flyweight fighter forgetting that at the same age Mayweather was an amateur flyweight fighter - they literally moved up the same number of divisions.

(Though Pac was never more than 147lbs officially, unlike Mayweather who has weighed in officially at >=150 on a few occasions. I'd say that's balanced by the fact that Pac was small even when he fought at minimumweight and used stones in his pockets to make the limit.)

Stay mad

[jaded]

Yeah but NSAC approved it didn't they?

Just later than they were supposed to but they still did.

So from what I'm gathering there's slim to no chance of an NC.

Especially considering the fact all tests were passed.

They didn't even know about it until 21 days after the fight (USAD held back the info) and the procedure is illegal at that volume...14 times greater than permissible. At that volume it has the ability to mask PED's. That was what Armstrong was doing and he passed all tests...always.

NSAC didn't know beforehand, and they're not happy that USADA issued a TUE (3 weeks later!) which they're not authorized to do. On USADA's website it states:

"Some reports suggest that administration of IV infusions, including dietary supplement and vitamin ****tails, are being provided to athletes for recuperation, recovery or lifestyle reasons. This medical practice is prohibited at all times without prior TUE approval. "

May jr is a LIAR and he will and has done anything and everything to win.

I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw the B******!!!!

When you look at his fights you can easily tell he was on something like with Canelo his body and quickness compared to fights with Maidana then comes the fight with Pac and looks huge and quick as a 20 year old!!! When you see the veins popping you just know the cheater has done it again and NOW they caught his wretched Azzz and he is making statements like he is perfect!

His legacy is tainted forever and the fights he really lost he won due to many aspects he set up

Leave the sport for good you dud

Where has that number or volume come from?
