First, I would like to thank Nowboxing.com for giving fans like myself the opportunity to share our opinions.
I have read most of the news articles on the Floyd Mayweather camp insisting Manny Pacquiao submit to Olympic style drug testing for their March 13, HBO ppv fight at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
I also believe Mayweather Jr. and his father are scared of Manny Pacquiao and whether they admit to it or not they think highly of the Pacman by suggesting he is on Steroids or HGH.

The father of Floyd Mayweather Jr. keeps saying what Pacquiao is doing is impossible no little man can become that muscular and strong with even more power and speed and take out bigger men. By accusing Pacquiao of using performance enhancing drugs it goes to show you that Mayweather Sr. was amazed at what he believed was an unbelievable act, that only a man one steroids can accomplish such feats.
Manny’s team which includes Bob Arum and Freddie Roach have already given Mayweather and Golden Boy Promotions a good enough compromise of letting Pacquiao take a blood test right at the start of camp, a Urine test every day leading up to the fight if requested and a blood sample immediately after the boxing match.
Now team Mayweather is saying no can do, they want Manny to comply by Olympic style drug testing which may include multiple random blood samplings instead of the NSAC (Nevada State Athletic Commission) drug testing which is mainly Urinalysis.
Manny Pacquiao has his own beliefs and superstitions, he comes from an old school way of thought and he insists on his own routines before bouts. He feels if you mess with his routine it disrupts his flow.
Prior to his first fight with Erik Morales, Pacquiao’s former promoter Murad Muhammad disrupted that flow and didn’t look out for his fighter by agreeing to all of Team Morales contract demands. Pacquiao uses nothing but Cleto Reyes “punchers” gloves and was forced to wear the heavily padded Winning gloves which Morales prefers, Pacquiao also had to take a blood test a few days prior to the bout, this could be when the superstition not to take blood a few days from the fight developed since he lost that fight to Morales and felt he wasn’t right mentally.
Pacquiao went on to stop Morales two times in rematches, Pacquiao felt more confident with his Cleto Reyes gloves and not having to take blood a few days before the fight, Pacquiao hasn’t loss a fight since.
Why would they mess with a guys ritual? Would you tell a Muslim to eat pork before his fight? If Pacman does go through with this testing it will just add more fuel to his fire. I feel bad for Mayweather Jr. on March 13, because a pissed of Pacquiao is not someone you want to be in the ring with.
I’m not Filipino but I have many Filipino friends and from what they’ve told me is what Mayweather and his family are doing is an ultimate sign of disrespect. In their country when a man disrespects another man in the Philippines they deal with it in the street they don’t go to the court and sue.

Hey next time Reynaldo dont send in anymore articles becuase your opinion sucks.
Stick to waiting tables, its clear as day you are a pac nut hugger how will you act when pac gets caught with roids?
To Bring the Nozie:
Hey what if pac is not w/ steroids? will you pay him million dollars for accusing him on something he didnt take???????? answer me stupid jerk.
You, crazy to think floyd will lose to pacman. Now i know you seen what floyd did his last fight. That man wont be able to handle floyds speed or smarts in the ring. I don’t know about the roids thing, i dont think he did but, pacman is up against a fighter three times better then any fighter he’s every faced. He’s gonna get slaughtered in the ring. Don’t get me wrong he’s good but floyds awhole lot better. Pacman hasnt fought anybody but wasted down fighters that i seen so far. He’s asking for his 4th lost.

Pac is probably on human growth hormones and other illegal shit.
You have got to be kidding me this tiny asian got so built like that?
Pacman is like a mini tank he is stronger than some black fighters man and its not fair.
Noize, Pac was tested multiple times, did he ever test positive? Exactly! So shut your hole and stop complaining!
Again Noize, well asian people are not born with sick pack like black people do (from your statement). It doesn’t mean asian people can’t kick black’s ass (inside the ring I must say).
All I hear is, “bok-bok-bok-bok,bok” ala scared chicken (fighting cocks excluded). Fraud has just found a WAY OUT of the fight, plain and simple.
PBF is the NUMERO UNO FRAUD4FRAUD of all time!
MONEY Pacquiao doesn’t need PBF. His legacy in the boxing world is already cemented, rock-hard.
hey Eric
HGH doesnt show up in urine tests thats why they do random blood test because they can only trace human growth hormones in the blood 48 hours after it is taken.
Filipinos use HGH so they look younger I know because my mom got a filipino doctor and she said they give them human growth hormone so they can look youthful.
I said it back in 2008. I boxed for 8 years amatuer only because of asthma. Some fighters I ‘use’ roids. Why, because I used them myself back then. Urine test are a fricken joke!!! You can pass a urine test by taking a liitle bleach and water! they dont test for chlorine! Pac, Mosely, Tyson, Golden Boy, Holyfield and Lenox and many many of the Europe fighters use steroids. If watch how all these fighter decline when they do. Its like night and day! Pac is definitely scared of being exposed. Come one now. Some Phillipino freak of nature. Phillipino man. Shiiit. I think not. They should have been using olypic style testing in boxing. It just generates so much money for so many shady systems that you will probably never see it. Just more and more knock out artist!
People Think before you Blog! I’m not saying that Manny is On Steriods but if he is, just because he’s never tested positve doesn’t me he hasn’t taken steriods before! Example Marion Jones, A-Rod, Barry Bonds & many more! & You know that the Olympic Committee Test are far more strict than Boxing! It’s 2010 Money runs America & B@llsh@t Runs a marathon! Technology is Great! Guess all of you sports Guru’s forgot about the wonder drug, It’s called “CLEAR” The undetectable Steriod! So Anything is Possible! Hell for all we know Floyd may be taking them too! lol But seriously, The Fact That Manny Is against it, & is willing to call off the Biggest grossing fight in boxing history speaks volumes to me! That superstitous crap is BS! My Grandmother use to tell me when I was young, “WHERE THERE’S SMOKE, THERE’S FIRE! Something is Fishy if he cancels The fight because of giving Random Blood Samples!
ARE YOU SERIOUS
I agree 100 percent
This dude is definitely on roids.. Why turn down millions not tontake a blood test.. I’ll tell you why.. He roids up for a few weeks and cleans his system with liver supplements and them comes
out clean on piss tests.. That is the deal.. Maywearher o smarter than cotto and said random testing… Noe PAC is running backwards saying o shit no deal they will catch me or I will have to be clean and get my ass kicked.. Superstition my a$$.. Dude is on roids!!! Wake up Filipinos stop acting like your boy is the shit when he is a deception to your country.. He is on drugs!!!!! That’s the only way he beat cotto.. Sad but the truth is what it is.. Don’t try to cover the sun with a
finger..
Great Article and to the point!
Floyd is a BIG PUSSY! Plain and simple! Only moronic idiots, Bums and illiterate people listen to the Mayweathers…
Otherwise, Floyd would have fought fighters in his own division..Man, there’s so many of them – Mosley who challenge Floyd face to face in front of millions for naught, Cotto, Paul Williams, etc. So pathetic.
A true warrior would have said “I don’t care if that guy is taking any sh!t or steroid or urine, i’ll beat his ass anytime!” Do you hear that from Gayweather? Nooooooo…coz he’s a big freakin Pussy…He’s supposed to be the bigger, stronger, taller guy…afraid of a smaller man…PAAATTTHHEETTICCCC!!!! Grow some Balls Floyd! Run Floyd! Run!
To people accusing Pac of using HGH, here’s a factoid for you guys (if you understand what that word is). At age 16, Pac and Floyd both weighed around 106 lbs. You are all saying that Pac took some illegal stuff to get to his current fighting weight. If I go by your argument, the fact that Floyd is bigger and heavier than Pac, the argument can be made that Floyd must also be on some illegal stuff and takes more of it. Let me push the argument one more step, the fact that you people are in lock step with the illiterate crack taking Floyd Sr, the argument can be made that you are also illiterate fools.
My advice, get educated and you may get to pull you out of the cesspool that you are in.
This is suspicious. Floyd wants the USADA because he has friends there (he was a US Olympic boxing champion). I’m sure he’s going to use those contacts to make them either create a fake positive for Pacquiao or harass him with the tests. They should let a European agency do the testing. Nobody trusts “Money” Floyd.
@The Fox: your argument is SUPER flawed. People are naturally born bigger. The argument is that Pacquiao is naturally a small guy and the fact that he got that big that fast seems naturally impossible. Floyd is naturally a bigger man than pac so your argument that Floyd does more steroids because he is bigger and heavier makes no sense.
Lets be fair. Mayweather wanted to fight at 154lb but since Manny wanted 147lb, he agreed. Mayweather wanted 10oz gloves but since Manny wanted 8oz, he agreed. Mayweather also agreed to the $10 million over weight penalty. Now Mayweather wants Olympic style testing. Shouldn’t Pacman agree. Come on guys! Manny has to give up something. Isn’t that what NEGOTIATION is all about? It can’t all be on Manny’s terms. Right? I think that the Mayweather camp is trying harder than the Pacman camp to make this fight. Also, testing Manny after the fight is good but not good enough. Because if he Pacman were to win and he tests positive afterwards, the damage is already done. Look at Miguel Cotto. He was an excellent fighter, got cheated by Margarito, and hasn’t been the same since. We all deserve a fair fight and no matter how much you dislike the Mayweather’s, I’m sure you’d prefer to see Floyd beat fair and square. Or do you not care as long as he loses? If that’s the case, you’re not a true boxing fan.
Manny Pacquiao will knock this moron out in later rounds, mark my words. When and if they fight, Floyd Mayweather will get knocked out cold. Mayweather Sr. began this whole conspiracy as he felt and knew in his heart that his son would get for sure knocked out by Pacman, after he witnessed Hatton as well as Cotto. To avoid the fight, he began these nonsense saga, totally out of common sense. When one is so good in any field, something like this happens, this is what history teaches us. Rather than accepting one’s superior talent and appreciating it, some always finds a way to attack out of jealousy. This is nothing new, what is happening now. What Manny should do is simply not paying attention to this stupid happening and just focusing on what he does, that is, boxing. Eventually, actually, very soon, everything will get back to the way it should be. When the truth settles in, people will begin to praise Pacquiao even more than now, and he will cement himself as the greatest boxer of all time or at the very least, one of the two greatest boxers of all time, only next to Sugar Ray Robinson. Manny does not need to fight a crooked boxer like Mayweather, nothing but overrated defensive specialist in this sport. Mayweather does not deserve to be with Manny in the ring. Manny is already all time greats, and does not need this idiot / evil / clown. After fighting Clotty, Manny can either retire as one of the greatest boxers of all time as he is already now or fight Sugar Shane Mosley and retire. Manny will certainly be able to knock both of these guys, but the difference is both of these guys deserve much more than Mayweather. Boxing does not need the dirty clown like Mayweather, and actually, HE IS THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO BE EXAMINED FOR DRUGS when you look at his body. Manny’s body, I know for sure, as a martial artist myself, is built by pure exercise like push up, sit up and pull up, etc, not even by weight training. A six year old will laugh at what is happening with this drug story. Anyone who has been buying this nonsensed crap, begun by Mayweather Sr and Paul something – don’t even remember this very bad boxer who should fight in clubs -, is as stupis as them, if not more. Especially, those who CLAIM as boxing people, writers, etc.. I can only tell these bunch of sons of bitches who, I am sure for 100 percent, shortly, I mean, very soon, will be laughed at and regret their stupidity and evilness for this out of common sense conspiracy, simply to go to hell. History teaches us these kinds of people always exist when someone like Manny, who is extraordinary in his field, comes along. It is for that matter, actually normal. So, I say to Manny, not to even worry a bit, I know he doesn’t, and just being himself. He is the boxer who comes only once in a lifetime, and I tell you all what. Manny has given all serious boxing fans around the world, happiness and entertainment that no other boxers have been able to many many years. For that, he should be appreciated, NOTHING BUT, APPRECIATED. Instead of that, what does he get now – from some of stupid bunches?
This is disgrace. But like I said earlier, the truth will come out, the fact will remain, and that is, Manny Pacquiao is one of the greatest boxers of all time, and of course, is one of the cleanest athletes on this planet. Very soon, everything will be revealed. Golden Boy people, Mayweather Family, Paul something – that Italian boxer who should really disappear -, that ESPN guy who looks so stupid everytime he opens his mouth – he should know in his heart, and all others who are envious of Pacquiao, should all apologize to Manny in public. Learn from Manny, be humble, do not be jealous, just do your work and be who you are.
Manny, again, don’t worry, all serious and true boxing fans around the world, not just here, but AROUND THE WORLD, ARE BEHIND YOU. YOU DO NOT NEED TO FIGHT MAYWEATHER, DO NOT GIVE THIS CLOWN A CHANCE TO FACE YOU IN THE RING. AFTER ONE OR TWO FIGHT, RETIRE AS ONE OF THREE GREATEST FIGHTERS OF ALL TIME, NEXT TO ROBINSON AND ABOVE ALI, ANOTHER FAVORITE BOXER OF MINE.
PEACE.
