The hell you mean possibly the biggest fight in over a quarter a century might not go down? All because Pac-Man refuses to take a drug test due to some superstitions and fear of needles? Look, for a possible $45M purse to gain from the fight, someone in his corner better tell to swallow his pride and take a damn blood test. He’s messing up the money and that’s a no-no regardless of how you came up. In case some of you are in the dark as to what I’m talking about, here’s the run down.
1. Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao are the two most popular boxers this side of the Milky Way.
2. After months and months of speculation, talks begin to rumble about a possible bout between the two.
3. The rumbles become fact (sort of) when both fighters say they want each other in the ring pending the right numbers.
4. Rumors swirl that both fighters would make close to $45M for the fight.
5. Mayweather wants Olympic style drug testing to make sure everything is clean, leaving no doubt.
6. Pac-Man refuses and is now threatening to sue for defamation of character after he says he was accused of taking steroids.
And here we are folks. By all means, I can understand why Manny is pissed because no one likes being accused of something they know they didn’t do. It’s a natural human reaction. But the quickest way to dead all the talk is to prove the naysayers wrong. Again, for $45M best believe I’m taking a drug test every week. Hell, every hour if they need me to. In the nicest way possible, what I’m trying to say is, Manny, you better man the fuck up. Don’t ruin this for me. I’ve got big plans for March 13 and it includes HD television, liquor, chicken wings and women. I mean damn, even Ben Baller agrees with me.
Oh, he wasn’t done.
Deal with it, Manny. Deal with it. While we’re here, I don’t want to hear any of that nonsense about Mayweather being “afraid” to fight Manny either. With the possible impact this match could have on boxing history, the last thing the sport needs is a rumor popping up two years from now claiming that either fighter was juicing before the contest. And the more you keep refusing to take the test, the more you look like you’re on the Roger Clemens workout plan. I don’t care how it goes down, but someone better make this shit go through. It’s bigger than them now.

I say Mayweather is full of shit. Fuck this extra shit.
This is his way outta the fight
“Pink Floyd” Gayweather
This further proves that Pac is on roids. Who gives a shit if you’re scared of needles? It’s 45 million dollars! He won’t be able to gain that in any other way other than to fight Money Mayweather. Swallow your pride, stop juicing, and take the blood tests.
Get off Ben’s balls
Manny’s on the juice.
Puh-leeze… 45 mil?
If U scared…say U scared…
$45m erases all of my fears. that’s all i know. esp when you’re talking about a sport where big paydays are far and few b/w these days.
So, now, NOW we have reason to doubt the conclusiveness of the type of testing that’s been done thus far in professional boxing, just cuz of this bitch’s unfounded accusations?
Get the fuck outta here
Pacquiao STFU and test ya fucking damn BLOOD right nowwww
MoneyMay has reason cause it is the biggest crazy fight for this century (pound 4 pound). For $45 milly and a legendary status after this damn fight, drug tests are needed. HeAven God wants this blood test…
because of the beauty of sport ;
M A R C H 13 , 2010 : please
JUST DO IT !
why should Manny do what Mayweather wants, that’s just ridiculous. Mayweather is trying to find a way to mess with Manny.
why Olympic style testing, Manny was agreeing to do Nevada sports commission way of Testing for performance enhancement drugs but that is not good enough for Mayweather. FUCK MAYWEATHER then.
If you ask me he’s the bitch and is trying to get any advantage over Manny.
y’know, if it was ME, I’d take the flippin’ test
My plans for Vegas are shot now…lol
If the Pacman is truly afraid of needles, then it goes without saying that somebody with Type II diabetes is harder than he.
However, I think this is all a part of the pre-fight hype/rhetoric, the soap opera shall unfold in grand fashion and the fight shall take place on the date originally planned.
THEY ARE JUST PROMOTING THE FIGHT. HE IS GOING TO TAKE IT
…paragraph indent, I make intense sense. Niggas on that Gil Scott dope *hint hint*
why should Manny do what Mayweather wants, that’s just ridiculous. Mayweather is trying to find a way to mess with Manny.

You’re probably right, but unfortunately the shadow of doubt is out there, so it doesn’t take much to get the public behind the steroid talk…

And it ain’t just THESE cats money. I’d spend the $$$ to watch it at home, but I’d rather see a fight that’s all the way fair.
and tell me a fucking PINT of blood isn’t a significant amount to be drawn, substantial enough to decrease your performance, especially when done immediately prior to a competition.
i like how it was conveniently left out that Manny agreed to testing immediately after the fight, which if he tested positive, would completely undermine what he’s accomplished thus far. He’s not gonna do that. This goes beyond money for him. Manny Pacquiao’s actually got an objective that is greater than Money and self (something Mayweather’s good at) at this point, and that’s his career in politics and serving his people.
Superstitions/ideals/principles…? I respect that.
Some of your favorite NBA/NFL/MLB athletes have some of their own superstitions, and you sure as hell wouldn’t ask them to compromise what it is they do to feel they can guarantee a win
pssshhhhh
if your scared go to church
teef i agree with you 110%
gotta agree on how they left out that manny will take the test a month before the fight as well as right after the fight…
MAYWEATHER IS A PUSSY. SIMPLE AS THAT. HE IS FINDNG WAYS JUST TO BACK OUT CAUSE MANNY WILL KNOCK THAT NIGGA OUT. WHY WOULD MANNY TAKE A TEST THE DAY BEFORE THE FIGHT?! YOU GET WEAKER. LIKE HAVING SEX BEFORE YOU FIGHT. ‘CAUSE MAYWEATHER CAN’T FIGHT PACMAN FULL FORCE. MAYWEATHER TRYING TO CHANGE THE RULES ALL OF A SUDDEN. WHY SHOULD PACMAN FOLLOW HIS RULES ? WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE MONEY, THEY ARE BOTH FILTHY RICH IN THEIR COUNTRIES. THIS ISN’T SHOW BIZ. IF YOU WANNA MAKE MONEY GO BACK AND DO YOUR STUPID WWE GARBAGE YOU DID MAYWEATHER. BOXING IS A SPORT. IF YOU CALL YOURSELF AN ENTERTAINER, THAN GO BACK TO DANCING WITH THE STARS. MAYWEATHER IS ONE OF THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL FIGHTERS IN THE HISTORY OF BOXING. SOMEONE NEEDS TO KNOCK THIS NIGGA OUT. AND MANNY IS THE ONE TO DO SO, AS SOON AS MAYWEATHER MANS THE FUCK UP. SIMPLE AS THAT.
sad thing is that no one from the WBO or WBC has come out to say how this is fuckin up the sport. mayweather is a gifted fighter but this shit has gone to far- and they wonder why UFC is taken money out they pockets
in the back of my mind, I realize that the powers that be simply WON’T let this fight slip away, and that this is all hype to generate talk. Everybody has a role to play. Somebody’s gotta run his mouth, and who better than Mayweather? It’s arguably the thing he does best (besides actually boxing and hanging with/living like Curtis).
take the damn drug test Manny….
shit…don’t see why this ONE fight would be the end all be all if someone were to lose or fuck up….the possibilities of Mayweather-Pacquiao II….or even part III….are tantalizing to say the least…..
do it…boxing needs this more so than we do.
the refusal of Olympic-style drug testing now certainly does open up the possibility for a 2nd or maybe even 3rd fight in the future.
They’re gonna milk this shit for all it’s worth, and I don’t blame them.
Could be showmanship—maybe it ain’t.
Why cats jumping on Pretty Boy so harshly?
It’s the Steroid Age. If there was ZERO percent of a possibility, I’d understand….
This dude fights mofos who wanna take his head off, but he’s scared of needles???
Whatever..
Now that the question has been raised – especially in this era – it AIN’T going away…and fcuk THEIR $$$, before I spend the loot to watch this fight in my crib, I wanna know I’m seeing a fight that’s on the level.
*Marion Jones approves of this message*
^ lol, true.
shit, I’D be pissed and ashamed knowing that Manny laid him down with the help of a performance-enhancing substance.
We all wanna see a fight that’s on the level, that’s for sure
If Marquez can drink is own piss then PacMan can get his blood tested.
What advantage does Mayweather gain over Manny by insisting on testing? They’re both gonna get tested, right? Manny needs to man up. He’s not being asked to do anything illegal and we all think about this shit in pretty much every major sporting situation these days. Floyd may be playing games but clean test results are definitely worth getting. Manny is the bigger bitch in this scenario…
RA the rugged man eating mayweather alive =)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHmCYlIsX5E
First of all, scared of needles, but u have a bunch of tattoos? 2nd of all, mayweather isn’t ducking he’s being smart, manny had been accused before of doping, and his strength and conditioning guy was linked to balco. People are talking like manny is an angel and he shouldn’t have to take such a tough level of testing, but if he’s an angel just take the fucking test. To me,the more manny acts like he doesn’t want Olympic testing, the more he looks like he is hiding something. In the words of Larry holmes-”I’d fight a lion for 25 million”
This fight is supposed to be my highlight of 2010, lol
Mayweather would punch RA in the face.
Teef,
The blood taken for one of these tests is nowhere near a pint, its actually a little bit more than a tablespoon. So the notion of someone losing strength from one these is kinda silly.
But like you and a few others said, theres no way they’re gonna let all this money slip away. It’ll get done, someway somehow. It may even get pushed back to May 1st.
RA would turn into Crustified Dibbs and maul Mayweather and hack him to pieces with a butcher knife, lol
Dell, thanks for clarifying.
Closer to summer, the better, lol
also, this might be a ploy just to get Manny to concede to something else for saying no to a drug test.
Mayweather’s always asking for shit
as a insulin-dependent diabetic for 15 years…i will let u know that it is QUITE possible to be afraid of needles and use them on a daily basis. i take 4 shots of insulin EVERY day…and when it comes for the nurse/doctor to draw blood…i bitch up. soooo, i can understand how manny has tats, but is still afraid of needles. u know, most folks get liquored up before tats to ease the pain…no way he can do that before a drug test.
…just wanted to clear that point up for those that don’t know.
And you know what about boxing exactly? Why agree to some ridiculous testing standard that isn’t used in pro boxing? If Mayweather wants it to be the new standard then maybe he should make it his new crusade. The state commission was good enough for him in previous fights, it should be good now. AND YES- MAYWEATHER IS SCARED. This is the reason he weighs 147 lbs but has yet to fight one top ranked welterweight. EVER. I REPEAT-EVER. Mayweather doesn’t care about rules in contracts, which is why he came in over the contract weight against Marquez. Then REFUSED to be weighed to see what he re-hydrated to. Manny doesn’t need to cave into Floyd’s demands. He made a counter proposal that included blood testing. Get your facts right before you write.
Mayweather agreed to Mannys demands of an unheard of 10 milly per pound over the limit fine and using 8oz gloves which is unheard of @ 147.
And manny is gonna go bitch over testing?
Get outta here with that.
Manny is acting real shadeball.
I dont think Manny is afraid of needles. Its a superstitious thing, he thinks the drawing of blood weakens him as a fighter. I wanna see a clean fight too but dont want him to have an excuse if he were too lose.
Maybe Manny should legally change his name to “Monique” and cal it a day.
yo staright up pacman is acting like ms. pacman. just man up. you have to take a drug test in this era of sports to remove the clout of suspicion and with the magnitude of the money thats getting paid out. If I lost money on a fight because the opponent was taking PED’s I would kick their teeth in if i had the chance.
but on some real talk
floyd all day baby.
yo staright up pacman is acting like ms. pacman.

*dead*
Why cats jumping on Pretty Boy so harshly?
==================================================
That seems to be the trend lol.
Pretty Boy stays winning though.
Manny has had enough of this clown’s stalling antics:
1. The split of the purse(PPV,gate, etc)
2. Floyd’s (penalty paid for) weight allowance
3. Accustation of PEDs.
I really hope Manny goes through and wins the defamation suit.
I can’t wait for this circus to be over, the fight to be on, and Floyd to beat the shit out of Manny. I’m tired of these hypocritical Manny nut-riders (“i hate Floyd cause he’s cocky”) – oh wait, which boxer was the one that booked himself to perform a show singing his Sally ass phillipine pop songs @ the casino the same night AFTER his last fight? Right. But Floyd is “cocky.”
Floyd is softening his stance a little –
http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4772853
Quote:
Mayweather changed his stance Saturday, moving off the hard line he had taken on using USADA as the testing agency.
“We are OK to move off USADA,” Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, who is representing Mayweather, told ESPN.com. “What we’re saying, and what is important to us, is four things — that the tests be random, that they include blood and urine and the time frame, meaning when do you stop the tests before the fight but know they will still be effective. Three of them we have agreed on — random, blood and urine. So now it is a matter of the two sides working out the specifics of the cut off date to assure it will still be effective.”
Schaefer said those talks are taking place between Bruce Binkow, a high-level Golden Boy executive, and Todd duBoef, the president of Top Rank, Pacquiao’s promoter.
“Todd and Bruce are trying to work out the specifics of the cut off to assure the tests are still effective because we know that 30 days before is not effective,” Schaefer said. “At 30 days, we might as well not even do it. We want to figure it out [the cutoff window] and I will give my recommendation to Team Mayweather, and they will be on board. USADA is the most recognized one, but if it’s another one, like the Nevada commission, we don’t really care. I don’t care who performs the tests as long as they are performed. That’s our position. If this fight doesn’t happen it’s not because of Team Mayweather.”
LMAO @ Teef completely taking over the comments section.
@ Peter divito- I don’t have to get my
facts straight before I write something. This is the comments section on a hip hop blog and we are talking boxing. Nobody is asking me
for a fucking press pass. 2nd you writing “mayweather is scared” in all caps doesn’t make it true. Get off manny’s dick. Everyone hates Floyd, but if you HAD to bet money, I bet u would have a hard time to pick manny.
if his so good he should be able to beat a man on steroids….so whats the problem Floyd….ya punk bitch!
y’all know this fight is gonna happen….
so who’s going to Vegas? lol
@ J. Tinsley – Ironic, huh? That I’d play the the role of a Mayweather in this post to help pad/inflate the number of comments and help pique the TSS readership’s curiosity as to what the brouhaha is all about, lol
Teef, YOU ARE THE MAN lol. I feel what you’re saying though. The fight is going to happen. Boxing can’t afford for it NOT to happen.
teef is active.
i see you boy, keep wormin on these fools.
Wtf How is manny scared of needles when he got a fucking tattoo….-_-
this fight is not sitting right when im thinking its just a public stunt for more attention & if you ask me the got mostly everybody’s on the palm of their hands SMH
manny’s gonna whoop that ass. who has floyd ever fought in the prime of their career? he waits til they’re old and shitty and then beats them.
where in heaven’s name did manny said he is scared of needles?
this is just another propaganda by the mayweather camp
and where did manny say he didn’t want to be tested????
are you people idiots or what!
manny said he wont take the test. he is cheating. He is scared of mayweather who is possibly the second best pound for pound boxer ever. I dont know why. It should be a good fight. I think if it happens mayweather now has the advantage because manny will come out aggressive and fall right into mayweathers counters. PEACE.
i also saw a comment on how mayweather should be able to beat manny even if he is on steroids if he is supposedly so good… really?? REALLY??? Just stop. You are being silly good sir.
With evry new challenger in the way, a loud minority of boxing fans wanna yell at and criticze Mayweather just for living and being the pound for pound best boxer?? I also think this fight WILL go down and smart money’s on Mayweather! HAHAHA!!
Sinbad needs to quit cheeking up cause if i heard right he’s being superstitious & has a phobia*
soo none the less are you just being an arrogant fool? or just try an attemt on being a ” internet jerk” lol
regardless you failed in both situation
& back to the subject at hand…. this fight is gonna happen & is a public stunt*
how can you not see that manny been done tests before & so has mayweather they just found a clever way to get the fans hollering
MAYWEATHER IS JUST FINDING EXCUSED TO AVOID THE FIGHT SINCE HE KNOW HE WILL BE KNOCKDOWN OR RUN THE HELL AWAY FROM PACQUIAO. COME ON GUYS. THATS MAYWEATHER OLD STYLE. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT IN CASE YOU DONT KNOW!
MAYWEATHER IS A BONAFIDE/GENUINE/COCKEY CHEATING BOXER WHO KNOWS TO CHOOSE OPPONENT THAT IS IN THE TWILIGHT OF THEIR CAREER.THAT’S WHY HE WIN ALL THE TIME BECAUSE HE CHOOSES HIS OPPONENT WITH HIS STUPID DAD ON THE SIDE.HE CHOOSES A LAME/STUPID EXCUSE THEN TO FORCE PACQUIAO CAMP TO DROP THE FIGHT BECAUSE HE KNOWS HIS OUTRAGEOUS DEMAND WHICH IS BEYOND BOXING RULES AND REGULATION WILL MAKE PACQUAIO NOT TO BOXED HIM. TO MAKE IT SHORT, MAYWEATHER STUPID DAD AND SON DOESNT WANT TO FIGHT BECAUSE SURELY HE WILL BE KNOCKDOWN OR SPRINT AT THE RING 360 DEGREES TO AVOID PACQUAIO KILLER PUNCH. LOGIC AND COMMON SENSE GUYS. WAKE UP. DAMN IT. MARQUEZ DOWN,DELAHOYA DOWN, HATTON DOWN, COTTO DOWN. PACQUAIO DETRACTORS KEEPS MAKING LOUSY EVALUATION THAT PACQUAIO WILL LOSE COME ON GUYS. GIVE IT UP. ACCEPT THE FACT THAT PACQUAIO IS GODS GIFT TO FILIPINO. BY THE WAY GUYS STEROIDS MAKE U BUFT AND HEAVY. PACQUAIO IS NOT LIKE THAT. HELLO. GET REAL. AS I SAID MAYWEATHER IS DODGING THIS FIGHT BY STUPID DEMANDS SINCE HE KNOWS MANNY WILL NOT BUY HIS SILLY DEMANDS. DAMN YOU COWARD FLOYD- YOUR ALL MOUTH, BE A MAN AND DROP YOUR MAYWEATHER MAKE UP LAWS AND FACE A REAL FIGHTER THAT WILL SURELY BEAT YOU UNTIL YOUR LAST DROP OF SWEAT AND BLOOD. OH I DONT THINK SO HUH. CHIKEN SHIT! JUST GO BACK TO AMATEUR AND FIGHT MIDGET AND OLD PEOPLE. NO BODY LIKES YOU INCLUDING YOUR DIRTY FACE DAD
that dude has tattoos…how’s he scared of needles
obviously pacquiao is going to make any excuse because he is obviously taking roids, everyone wants him to take the tests but he wont do it because if he does take the tests then it is going to prove he takes roids. maywesther will rock him either way though, moneymay all the way
it got to be some haters man obama oprah tiger now money may, stop it
Be a man, Manny, grow the fuck up and take the test. Oscar De La Hoya, more than likely rooting for Manny is this fight, Keeps it real! He even said it makes him suspiscious that he’s not going through with the test. When you got shit to hide and you’re put on the spot, excuses flow out your ass cheeks. We’ve seen this story many, many, times! They all come out and admit to juicin in the future. FUCK MANNY, either way MAY going to whoop that ass. If you watch Mayweather and his past fights, you’ll see that Manny clearly isn’t on his level.
Fuck you band wagon dick suckin niggas!
I’m sorry but I really had to respond to this one more time…
Richard: Nigga, performancing enhancment drugs doesn’t necessarily its pure bulk and fuckin hulk hogans are made. He has jumped in weight classes therefore getting bigger. Not to mention, even freddie roach commented that he’s totally fine with having manny take a blood test a week before the fight so all these excuses are this little bitch Manny dodging something that quite frankly isn’t that big of a deal…
And to all those who say UFC is taking their pay checks, when the fuck have you seen a UFC fight go home after a fight with even 5 mill in their pocket?! Enough said dumb fucks!
