PacMan's Corner

[jerzz]

ang masakit tulad ni timothy bradley na isa sa pwedeng makalaban ni pacquiao eh nagdedemand narin kay pacquiao ng olympic style na drug testing. ganun nasiraan ng husto si pacquiao.

 

Actually yung manager ni Bradley ang ayaw pero si Bradley ok naman

 

Heto yung statement niya sa yahoo sports

 

And Bradley said that’s not his position anyway. He said he hoped the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight was made.

 

“This whole thing with Pacman and Mayweather is baloney with the steroid and blood testing thing,” Bradley said. “The fans want to see this fight. Everyone wants to see the fight. I want to see it. This is the fight that should be made. But this testing stuff is crazy.

 

“I’m not worried about Manny Pacquiao. He’s not on steroids. Just because he’s destroying guys, you want to say he’s on steroids? Come on. He’s just that good. He’s been tested how many times and he’s never tested positive. Neither has Mayweather.”

 

Bradley said he would fight either man if he were given an offer and said he wouldn’t demand tests, as Shaw said he would.

atleast malinaw na hindi sya naniniwala. pero ang nakakaloko dyan nag iwan na ng remark ang mga gayweather na nagsteroid sa pacman. marami sa kano ang nagtataka kung bakit hindi pumayag si pacman magpakuha ng dugo 24 hours bago ang laban. ang totoo naniniwala rin sya sa pamahiin pero sa history hindi sya dapat magpadala sa paikot ng grupo ni gayweather. umiisip sila ng paraan para lituhin ang magandang training regement ng team pacquiao na isa sa pinaka the best na training team sa boxing.

[plush]

first of, let me just state that i am a pacquiao fan and that i think that the blood test is just a form of harrassment. while i do not believe either of the two fighters are on dope. on the assumption that one is... blood test after the fight is unacceptable since boxing is a dangerous sport. what good would a test do after a boxer has been badly pummeled. maybe a compromise is possible. 3 days before the fight perhaps?

ngaun pumtok nsa mgamukha ng GBB at team gayweather ang kalokohan nila na imanipula ang lahat.

 

ARUM DELIGHTED THAT PACQUIAO IS STANDING UP LIKE A CHAMPION OUTSIDE THE RING

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum wholeheartedly supports pound-for-king Manny Pacquiao’s decision to sue Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer and Floyd Mayweather Sr and his son, undefeated former pound-for-pound No.1 Floyd Mayweather Jr for libel, slander and defamation.

 

 

In an overseas telephone conversation with www.insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports, Arum said “I am so delighted that he’s standing up outside the ring like a man just like he does in the ring.”

 

Arum who has been livid over the demands of the Mayweather camp and the allegations made against Pacquiao said "We are not going to accede to this drug testing by this organization of idiots that handle the drug testing for the amateur kids." Arum had suggested during the impasse that the agency that does the drug-tests for professional sports such as the NBA, the NFL and Major League Baseball be allowed to handle the tests but that was turned down by Schaefer and Mayweather.

 

Pacquiao had earlier indicated to us that he didn’t wish to dignify the statements made by Mayweather Sr and Schaefer and give them the publicity and attention they were looking for. However, in a statement attributed to him, Pacquiao now says enough is enough and that his character and person have been questioned, maligned, damaged and tarnished by baseless and false accusations and he has instructed Arum and his own lawyers to file a lawsuit against those who have accused him of taking performance-enhancing drugs without a shred of evidence.

 

The founding secretary general of the World Boxing Council, eminent lawyer-sportsman Rudy Salud said “I’ve been waiting for them (Pacquiao and Arum) to do that. They have all the right to do that and they will win that case. They cannot deny the statements in which they have accused Pacquiao without any evidence. They are caught. No way for them to get out of that.”

 

Salud said “now they have to prove their accusations and cannot force him to undergo any test to prove his innocence under any specific system because of the presumption of innocence.” Salud added that in court Pacquiao “can prove that by way of the drug tests conducted by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which they can present as evidence, that he has been tested so many times and found to be clean of any drugs.”

 

In a statement issued Christmas morning in the Philippines, Pacquiao was quoted as saying “enough is enough. These people think it’s a joke and a right to accuse someone wrongly of using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs. I have tried to just brush it off as a mere pre-fight ploy but I think they have gone overboard.”

 

“I have instructed my promoter, Bob Arum, head of Top Rank Inc., to help me out in the filing of the case as soon as possible because I have had people coming over to me now asking if I really take performance-enhancing drugs and I have cheated my way into becoming the No. 1 boxer in the world.”

 

www.insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports learned that all options would be studied by the top-notch lawyers to be retained by Arum and Pacquiao and that libel, slander and defamation suits are expected to be filed against those who made the statements on TV and in several newspapers and internet sites.

 

Pacquiao was named “Fighter of the Year” by the prestigious Sports Illustrated, was also chosen “Fighter of the Year” twice before and is a cinch to win the award for 2009. He was the first Filipino boxer to appear on the cover of Time Magazine. He has won every conceivable award in the sport and has been acknowledged as the “Hero of Asia” for his achievements in the ring, his humility, his generous assistance to the poor and his concern for his countrymen as well as his help in promoting the careers of other promising Filipino boxers and the unsubstantiated allegations made against him have incensed millions of his countrymen to whom he is a national hero.

 

Mayweather Sr, in an interview prior to his son’s fight against Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas told Dyan Castillejo of ABS-CBN that Pacquiao was on some performance-enhancing drug, started the effort to undermine the character of the pound-for-pound king who has been credited for virtually saving the sport of boxing and to question his achievements in the ring.

 

This week, Mayweather and Golden Boy Promotions indicated that Mayweather won’t fight Pacquiao unless he took an Olympic-style drug-testing program handled by the US Anti Doping Agency or USADA. Pacquiao and Arum agreed to be tested one day before the kickoff press conference, 30 days before the fight and immediately after the fight in the dressing room stressing that if he was taking drugs it would surely come out. But Mayweathers handlers insisted on having it their way and Arum, as a way of saving the fight, agreed to have Pacquiao tested by the agency that tests NBA, NFL and MBL players but that too was turned down prompting Arum, Pacquiao, celebrated trainer Freddie Roach and conditioning expert Alex Ariza to claim that Mayweather was looking for a way out because he was scared of Pacquiao who was ready to give him, as Ariza said, “the beating of his life.”

 

Pacquiao, in his statement reiterated what he’s said before, “I maintain and assure everyone that I have not used any form or kind of steroids and that my way to the top is a result of hard work, hard work, hard work and a lot of blood spilled from my past battles in the ring, not outside of it.”

 

Pacquiao, supported by Arum, Roach and Ariza stated “I have no idea what steroids look like and my fear in God has kept me safe and victorious through all these years.”

 

In a direct challenge to Mayweather Jr Pacquiao said “don’t be a coward and face me in the ring, mano-a-mano and shut your big, pretty mouth, so we can show the world who is the true king of the ring.”

 

Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz confirmed to us that Pacquiao, has been contemplating on filing a case against Mayweather Sr. even before the start of his Nov. 14 fight with Miguel Angel Cotto. He said then that he “ did not sue because he did not want to get distracted during that time” because as Pacquiao himself said he was preparing for one of the toughest fights of his career.

 

The statement which was initially released on philboxing.com quoted Pacquiao as saying “Pretty Boy Floyd, face me instead on March 13 in Las Vegas and not in some talk show forum or in press releases written for you by people who don’t even know me. Face me in a fight where I get to punch back. You and your cohorts have accused me of using performance-enhancing drugs. Now, I say, the burden of proof should now come from you, not me,” said Pacquiao, the only seven-time, seven-weight division champion in the history of the boxing.

 

Koncz told us that Pacquiao is not against any form of drug testing mandated by any state athletic sports commission and in fact supports the effort to keep all athletic disciplines free of drugs because athletes are role models for the youth. It was noted that Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer has often maintained that Pacquiao has been tested before and after every fight in Las Vegas and had been found free of any performance enhancing drugs or steroids.

 

Pacquiao’s statement concluded “These people think they are doing the sport a great service. They are not To Floyd, despite all these accusations, may your Christmas be merry and I will see you in court, soon, too.”

[john2004]

let Nevada State Athletic Commission do the talking for the whole world

to see, read and hear kahit di dumaan sa court, gastos at abala din lang naman

kasi yung makakarating pa sa korte yung planong iakyat na kaso.

 

mas makakatipid sa gastos at sobrang abala ang pacman camp kung

mag cooperate ang Nevada State. otherwise, kung di kakampi ng

totohanan ang Nevada State kay Manny, buti pa either humanap na

lang siya ng ibang kalaban or mas maigi mag retiro na lang siya which

i don't think so it'll happen, maliwanag na sinabi ng Nevada State

na kada laban ni Manny, always negative siya sa steroids hanggang

kay cotto. LET NEVADA STATE DO ALL THE TALKING.

 

at isa pa, kung ayaw talaga ni mayweather, wag nang pilitin pa.

just move on na lang.

it crossed my mind that the gayweather camp will balk at the last minute and agree to a compromise with the pacman camp re: the blood testing. to the gayweather camp, i believe they have shaken the mind of pacman and have succeeded in this psychological warfare. DYAN MAGALING SI MAYWEATHER, PLAYING MIND GAMES WITH HIS OPPONENT.

 

i can't believe that this will die down just like that and there goes the $40 million paycheck for each fighter. it ain't over til it's O-V-E-R.

[hondacaptiva]

totoong mind games. try nya na asarin, at lituhin ang pacman camp. magdedemand sya ng kung ano ano, kunwari concern nya lang na baka dayain sya. tama lang na idemanda nya ang gbp at gayweathers, una nasira na pangalan nya. may post pa sa blogs si odlh na bakit daw ba takot magpatest si pacman. tapos ngaun nabrand na ang name ni pacquiao. sa ibang nakapilang opponent imbes na pag usapan ang fight dates nagiging usapan na kung payad din daw ba sila na NSAC ang magconduct ng test. tinatrato na nilang positive si pacquiao. well gumamit na ng media ang grupo ni gayweathers at gbp. tama lang na kasuhan sila.

 

Intro: Floyd Mayweather's camp has repeatedly made claims against Manny Pacquiao. We attempt to discern fact from fiction. Additionally, we detail several fighters and athletes, current or prior, who have tested positive for any drugs.

 

Camp Floyd's Claims >

 

Claim # 1: Floyd Mayweather, Sr and Roger Mayweather have repeatedly accused WBO and Ring welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao of taking performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). Boxers Paulie Malignaggi and Kermit Cintron have aired similar public comments against the Filipino icon.

 

Fact # 1: Pacquiao maintains a perfect record when it comes to fight-related tests throughout his career. The more visible fights have been administered by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) which conducts standardized tests across the sport, which all boxers are subject to. These programs have been administered for over four decades.

 

 

Perfect testing record.

 

 

 

Claim # 2: Floyd's camp, Malignaggi, and Cintron have claimed that Pacquiao cheated in his ascent to boxing's pound for pound summit.

 

Fact # 2: It was Floyd Mayweather, Jr who cheated against Juan Manuel Marquez, a fighter two to three weight divisions under Floyd's normal fighting weight, in their September 2009 bout. Floyd tipped the scaled two pounds in excess of the contracted fight weight of 144 lbs. Mayweather's fine was a paltry $600,000 despite a reported guaranteed purse of $15 million. The fine represented 4% of the minimum guarantee, without factoring in pay-per-view (PPV) incentives. Did Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) sell out their client Juan Manuel Marquez? The Mexican would eventually suffer a shutout decision loss.

 

Who really cheated?

 

 

 

Claim # 3: In Floyd Mayweather's statement requesting an Olympic-style test, he alluded to the importance of competing in a "level playing field."

 

Fact # 3: In March 2008, Pacquiao fought Juan Manuel Marquez and secured a third lineal title in the super featherweight division. Given that Camp Mayweather wanted the fight at the 154 lb. junior middleweight limit, this weight class represents four weight divisions (24 lbs) above the super featherweight limit. The Filipino has only fought at the 147 lb. weight limit once (against Oscar de la Hoya).

 

 

Is fighting a smaller boxer a level playing field?

 

 

Claim # 4: Camp Mayweather and Richard Schaefer of GBP wants Olympic-style blood and urine tests.

 

Fact # 4: In 2008, Schaefer himself vehemently opposed this type of invasive testing for one of GBP's clients, Shane Mosley. In a statement, Schaefer mentioned that he would not allow Mosley to be treated like a cheater. Which is exactly the same logic as to why Pacquiao is now preparing a lawsuit against the Mayweathers and GBP.

 

 

Olympic drug tests required now, but not required earlier?

 

 

 

Claim # 5: There is a myth in the boxing community that "Pacquiao will not do the tests" and that "he is the one preventing the fight from happening."

 

Fact # 5: Team Pacquiao has already agreed to more stringent tests - ones stricter than what the NSAC would normally require (which are exclusively urine tests). So long as those blood tests do not interfere with training leading up the fight (30 days prior and a day after the bout). As mentioned, these are beyond NSAC's normal protocol.

 

Refuse to do the test?

 

Claim # 6: Floyd Mayweather, Jr has claimed that he is the greatest boxer of all time.

 

Fact # 6: While Manny Pacquiao is ranked by Ring Magazine as the number one welterweight in the world, Shane Mosley is ranked number two. Mayweather is ranked third. "Money" has not faced the following boxers: Joshua Clottey, Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito, Paul Williams, Shane Mosley, Andre Berto, Cory Spinks, Sergio Martinez, and Kelly Pavlik.

 

Greatest boxer of all time?

 

 

 

Claim # 7: Floyd Mayweather, Jr stated that he considers Manny Pacquiao as "easy work" in the ring. "Money" usually wins his fights via decisions.

 

Fact # 7: Instead of three boxing judges scoring this fight, this battle appears to be headed for the courtroom - not inside the ring. Judge Judy may end up tallying points in the court of public opinion. Okay, that's not a fact.

 

But "easy work"?

 

 

 

Claim # 8: Floyd Mayweather, Jr claimed that he provided Shane Mosley with an opportunity to fight him, but that Mosley turned down that offer.

 

Fact # 8: Shane Mosley suffered a mouth and teeth injury in a fight and requested an additional one month in order to recoup and heal from his injury. Mayweather, Jr went on to fight lesser caliber fighters and avoided Mosley's repeated challenges, most recently after the Juan Manuel Marquez fight in September 2009.

 

Who avoided who?

 

Conclusions >

 

Floyd, Sr has been fairly adamant in accusing Manny Pacquiao of taking steroids. In one of the installments of HBO's 24/7 series, the senior Mayweather maintained his need for having a relationship with his son. The two were separated for a few years following a dispute. Perhaps one of his reasons for villifying Pacquiao is to initiate closer bonds with his son. You unite your own clan by creating an enemy. External threats, whether perceived and manufactured, can establish closer ties. Food for thought.

Now that he is running for politics, I want him to loose badly to Mayweather... Hail King floyd!!! The King Of Boxing!

[barrysaint]

so the last three posts, does it mean the drug testing done in professional leagues like the NBA, NFL, NHL are not reliable and allow the players to use steroids undectected by the authorities?
