So does anybody think Pacquiao is using performance enhancing drugs?

I mean it wouldn't surprise me at this point if the Pope got caught using them......

lol....no.

There's a 0.0001% chance this fight doesn't happen, too much $$$$ to lose.

yes, but i hope nobody finds out as that'd ruin his mystique and this fight's epicness (unfairly imo)

this is about right, maybe a little too much - if i asked the 20 or so people I work with - I would guess 50% would recognize the name Mayweather and maybe 10% the other guy.

prolly none would have seen both of them fight.

This is just posturing by Mayweather. He wants to show everybody that he has the upper hand in negotiating and wants to bully Pacquiao. He didn't do this against Judah, Hatton or Baldomir. It isn't fair that a boxer is bullied because of the success he has had in the ring.

Whatever you use will show up after the fight. So, stick with the standard drug testing policy (tested after the fight).

My opinion is that Team Pacquiao should demand that Mayweather pay a large fine if Pac takes a pre-fight test and comes up clean. This is a real bull**** move by Mayweather's team.

What is a blood test going to detect that a urine sample can't?

Do you actually have knowledge of the effectiveness of different types of testing and the techniques to avoid detection, or are you just talking out of your ass again?

Reached late Tuesday night, Bob Arum of Top Rank, which promotes the Filipino, took it a step further.

"The plug is pulled. The fight is off as far as we're concerned," he said, adding that he expects Pacquiao to fight on that date but is seeking a new opponent.

"All they're doing is harassing Pacquiao. I'm not going to allow it to happen," Arum said. "We're willing to do urine analysis at random even though we don't have to do it under Nevada rules. … I know deep down Mayweather doesn't want the fight. He can take a walk."
