This is all so silly. The two sides (Floyd Mayweather, Jr. / Golden Boy vs. Manny Pacquiao / Top Rank) have to wake up pretty early each morning to determine who is mad at whom and why each day.
What I'm picking up on is these daily turf wars; everything from the "100,000 vs.16,200" to "blood vs. urine" is setting back our once quaint boxing civilization.
Somebody with some clout must have a serious secret that he's fighting to keep in his vault. And I mean it's such a deep dark secret that if it gets out, it will rock a few worlds.
So these little turf wars will continue, but they are getting terribly tedious. Five years from now, some mutant form of Golden Boy and some similar form of Top Rank will be fighting over a couple of 17 year-old kids of different races and nationalities. Today's fighters, Mayweather, Jr. and Pacquiao will be old news.
I remember just a few years ago Golden Boy employed "The Voice of Reason," the dignified Don Chargin, as a consultant. But soon after that concluding, Golden Boy seemed to have lost its moral compass and now GBP lives in the proverbial glass house.
GBP shouldn't be throwing stones from the glass house, such as making demands regarding blood tests or anything else really. They should just be happy to be in on the deal on Mayweather, Jr.'s nickel.
Mayweather, Jr. isn't really even their fighter, he hired them to negotiate for him to close this particular deal to fight Pacquiao against his former promoter Top Rank.
Hiring GBP to negotiate for him against Top Rank is certainly his legal right but one of the laziest and stupidest moves in both business and boxing history.
It let a known wolf into the hen house.
GBP has a promotional piece of opponent Manny Pacquiao! What a conflict of interest! But this is professional boxing.
They actually earned it when they once intercepted Pacquiao at LAX Airport and later handed him a duffel bag full of money, rumored to be a cool $250,000.
Remember that classy bit of boxing history? And an arbiter standing between Richard Schaefer and Bob Arum still actually handed GBP a piece of the action. Only in America Don King! GBP actually benefited from this!
Back to this secret. Is this secret now elevated to "The Secret." Such as the fight becoming "The Fight?"
So is there or isn't there a "Secret" that explains a bunch of strange moves by Mayweather, Jr. and Golden Boy Promotions?
Is it totally crazy that Mayweather, Jr. could owe a certain casino a ton of money in the form of loans and gambling markers and in return, deliver this or any other fight he's involved in as some form of medieval collateral?
Not so crazy if you consider his huge IRS debt and self-stated gambling habits. If NBA referees can sell out, why not a boxer in major debt?
But could it be "The Secret" is the explanation for a bunch of isolated, peculiar Mayweather, Jr. and GBP moves?
Perhaps time will tell, but for now, we can all just guess something made them defy sports logic and balk at a real Super Bowl venue (and the biggest live gate guarantee in boxing history) without hesitation or consideration. And that same possible dark secret logic may be the very reason they can't blow this fight.
Can I prove it? No. It's just my opinion.
MGM Grand (16,200) vs. Cowboys Stadium (100,000) will be a new required course as part of the Harvard Business School curriculum this spring.
But back to Floyd. When he told Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer this two weeks ago, Schaefer, no fool, the "Swiss Banker" had no reason to fly to Texas even though he knew he would be publicly humiliated for pulling out at the 11Th hour.
This would explain a lot of things to my satisfaction. This "blood vs. urine" is now just window dressing. It's just to screw with Pacquiao's head.
But "The Secret" explains a bunch of isolated, peculiar Mayweather, Jr. and GBP moves.
I'm waiting for the next turf war.

too much money for it not to happen..both are great fighters..mayweather just needs new advisors...the only thing keeping him from maximizing his talents are his questionable decision making
www.sportzhypeboxing.com/2009/12/manny-pacquiao-truth-about-steroids.html
pacquiao is so damn good that people are making excuses for his greatness. Pacquiao has been taking drug tests ever since he joined boxing and passed it every year. both urine and blood test. all time great baby
pacquiao does not need anymore money . he already is super rich with all his investments unlike floyd who needs the fight so he can pay all his debts and bills .Mayweather is a looser.
you know in the end floyd will be the one taking steroids for the bout. because they know that pacquiao will not agree to the stringent testing. so when the testing becomes more lax. the mayweathers will give floyd the hgh and other steroids that the random testing will find. the smokescreen is actually for him use the steroids before the bout. alas, he will cheat again and be at the advantage.
who are u gonna fight now floyd? you are not a draw anymore!!! you have been exposed by Pacquiao and he didnt even fight you yet. might as well retire again cause you are looking like a bitch!!!!! even i would knock you out!!!!
who are u gonna fight now floyd? you are not a draw anymore!!! you have been exposed by Pacquiao and he didnt even fight you yet. might as well retire again cause you are looking like a bitch!!!!! even i would knock you out!!!!
i mean the testing will not find. ( regarding the HGH and steroids.
ty
Karma is now coming after Gayweather and his whole dumb family!
Mayweather has still a chance. Fire Golden Boy Promotion in this negotiation and hire a new one. Yes, there might be a "secret in Vegas". Afterall, what happens in Vegas, stay in Vegas.
where are you #1floydfan?????!!!!!!!!! SUCK MY DICK
i want to hire DON KING
What if... Pacquiao suddenly agrees to the testing, and then, it's Mayweather who will be found using PEDs and steroids!? Will the fight go on?!! Or not?
No one is going to spend $60.00 to watch Floyd fight, its not even worth $0.50 cents. I'd rather watch Maidana, Bradley, Khan and Diaz than watch this clown!
For all those Dums, fools, stupids or whatever people who really know about boxing want to call these ocassional "fans", if you do not know, the big problem with those kind of drugs did not come out in baseball, basketball and any other sport was discovered because some people who sold those kind of drugs sold information and files to the newspapers because with the urine tests all spotsmen could hide those traces of drugs if not just ask a doctor about that, for that reason only in the olimpic games the athletes have been accused of taking those drugs, because in regular urine tests those drugs are not found, and let ask all those dums how somebody who weights only 100 or 105 lbs now can be in only 3 years weight 147 lbs and does not look like a pig and be too fast, I personally am a big fan of manny and Floyd but this is not fair for the other fighters like Cotto, Hatton and some others who are really honest and real sportmen, because we some friends like profesionals referees, promo
uh, matt...didn't get ya.
Floyd demanded the blood test and can kill it if he wants to anytime..floyd knows he'll loose but needs the money badly...The best he could do is fight manny , retire and raise chickens with ducks in a farm...hehehe
ApeShitWeather Jr's brain cells are infected from his venereal disease that his Dad gave him;
it's no different with the VD that #1floydfan's mom gave to her own son - LoL
The stupedest thing is that shaefer allow himself to be a puppet of Floyd. A brainless self centered individual while Richard from what you said a banker. lol... Use you brain Richard your like a dog and your master is Floyd.
Promoters and myself,we are a group who allways watch the fights and some other sports and also some retire fighters and sportmen, manny received too many punches in his head and he was like nothing happened and I mean against Cotto,and also the old master Marquez won by points the two fights against Manny,and we were told that for one of the judges in one of those fights but Arum and some other people intimidated the judges to favor Manny, and also that happens in many fights.
to floyd, let's go back to basic especially on medical issues then agree to fight. who knows you'll be lucky enough come fight night. alright? now, don't bother anything else Pacman will not screw you, he even pray for the safety of his opponent. ok?
Summ Well D,
Mayweather can not Fired Golden Boy Promotion beacuse he already had a advanced pay from them for this fight...........
ALL NBA PLAYERS should also be blood tested before EVERY game for all the fans/public to be sure that they do not use steroids and performance enhancing drugs. Include Tiger Woods, Nadal, Federer, and the other top sportsmen. What the heck! Ali, Frazier, Duran, Leonard, Hearns, Robinson, Marciano-- were SOOO GREAT during their time, is it possible that THEY, TOO, you know...should have been tested?
And, while we are at it, how about blood testing those professional CHESS players too?
ENOUGH OF THIS $H!t...
this is not mere pre fight hype!? this is pure "RACISM"!!! Americans are compelled to do so because they feel threatened by someone who is from ASIA would dominate boxing!it is what i call a normal state of mind from races in a so called superior nation??this goes for all Majorities!pretenders,asslickers and asskissers!
Pac is even willing to fight you without gloves so you get all the blood you demanding for.
The NSAC is incompetent to GBP and Team Mayweathers who want no less than Pacman's blood they plan to retain up to eight years until the anti-dope agencies come up with new protocols to discover illegal substances on Pacman's blood. Even the substances they hope to discover in the future are not yet in the market today!
If Pacquiao is on GBP camp, I wonder whether now double-standard Schaefer argued the blood tests for him against the way he did defending Mosley against Zab Judah asking similar tests.
Put it like this pac man noks floyd out hands down this dude is humble he's not like margacheato hell pass the urine and blood test greatness comes from within by digging deep not cheating half way through your carrer so money may please stop bitching and sighn the contract and be on your way to face a one loss on your record
Floyd is not boxer. He is a freak'n vampire! Let stop the B.S and move on to Yuri Foreman at 154.
i love manny to fight other fighters than mayweather. other fighters think they could beat manny so they will fight toe to toe and there will be no boring fight while mayweather knows he will lose that is why he is finding all ways to outwit manny and finally if they meet in the ring what would he do? well you know him he is the best defensive boxer and what do that mean? he will run around manny until manny becomes dizzy and surely mayweather will attack. that will be his fight and if manny can't get to him early then i think manny needs a pill or two for dizziness right? so BOOOORRRING. BOB GET YURI OR CORY INSTEAD.
Mayweathers' and GBP are boxings version of DUMB and DUMBER. FRAUD GAYWEATHER JR is the DUMBEST of all !
I hate that crap about if I get my ass whooped and fall into somekind of postpartum depression bull s***!!! If mayweather loses and pac test positive for drugs after the fight... duh that would be more embarrasing to lose the belt that way. That's why they always test post fight. Pac risk too much falling into the "darkside" by taking those drugs!!!
Gorilla Boy Jr. needs this fight with Manny.
He needs the money. After all, he has IRS problems, investments that went sour, entourage to feed with crack-cocaine along with his meth thirsty father & Uncle Rogie.
MethWeather Jr. will soon have to choose between a $ 40 mil. fight with Manny or the welfare line in downtown Vegas.
Random testing means that blood can be drawn even after weigh-in before the fight the next day. Floyd's real intention for this is to weaken Manny Pacquiao come fight night. Because of their styles, Pacquiao will tire easily and weaken much faster than Floyd later in the rounds because Pacquiao throws way a lot more power punches while Floyd conserves more of his energy by doing his style of defense, that is, moving away, potshots, clinching. When Manny slows down due to fatigue, Floyd is hoping he can catch Manny with a KO punch in the later round or win by a decision at the end of round 12. For fairness in the ring, this is the only way Floyd can beat Manny Pacquiao.
I think Floy taking that to bro, the kind pakalolo when fighting golden boy, and he won. That baga cheat to huh. I like wrestle him so I break his bones.
@Luigi ... you dummy ... 106 lbs was Pacquiao's weight 16 yrs ago. You should have at least read some boxing news/info before making comments like that.
That stupid Negro Mayweather is a filthy coward. He needs to step up and fight Manny. Stupid Negro!
i'll say, forget gayweather, i don't see any greatness in him. he will just run around like cotto did. what's manny going to do, look at the referee? gayweather clan and GBP are scared to get sued. but manny should still proceed with the lawsuit.
I AGREE WITH itto ogami says:
"ALL NBA PLAYERS should also be blood tested before EVERY game for all the fans/public to be sure that they do not use steroids and performance enhancing drugs. Include Tiger Woods, Nadal, Federer, and the other top sportsmen. What the heck!

And, while we are at it, how about blood testing those professional CHESS players too?"
DO ALL THESE TESTS BECAUSE GAYWEATHER SAID SO...
ENOUGH OF THIS $H!t...
It's a CHECKMATE for Floyd and GBP! Now that Pacman will sue Floyd and GBP, I'm sure Mayweather will soon give in to pacman's proposal to make the fight happen. After all he will need more to cash to pay pacman and his attorneys, Haha! You are moneyless floyd even before you get in the ring with Pac!
My hat off to you, Mr. Stolow! Your imagination is quite wild and wooly, but COOL! How dare you imagine that future PBF fight purses (or portions thereof) are "collateralled" for PBF megaDEBTS to a Las Vegas casino! But this feral notion of yours CAN and DOES explain every idiotic move PBF and GBP have made so far!
You Whackman fans are full of garbage. If Whackman is not using any type of performance enhancers, then why is he so against olympic style drug testing. I'll tell you why, because he's not as great as you idiots think he is, or at least when he's not on DRUGS!
maybe the public should see a complete biological testing on flyod mayweather... just to make sure that he is a human and not a chicken hahahaha
bring in fighters who's got the guts and man enough to face the real champ.Boxing fans deserves a good fight, we need no runners, nor backpedallers.Prettyladychump gayweather doesnt deserve a match with the Pacman.Plain and simple, she's afraid of Wapacman.Trainers should also be subjected to drug testing. Bring in Yuri!
To those people who ride on mayweather mindgames... No doubt that you have a weakmind... This random blood test of Floyd are
nonsense.. this move to make slow the pac during the fight... He is scared to lose his ZERO and become defeated and battered in the fight... Floyd is already defeated in his mindgames...
weapons are lucrative business, wars must continue, boxing as well a must, it shld not die in the most powerful country in the world, AMERICA!!!
This is a non-sense issue . . . . .
Floyd's a P U S S Y!!
No one watching malinaggi fights with Pacman? Not me naah. you know already.
did u know gayweather is a gay so he is afraid to pacman hehehe!
if what you say, Stolow, is true, that Mayweather is obligated to some casinos because of debt, then he can't duck pacquaio. And this is ammunition for the pacquaio camp for negotiations. Floyd can screw his olympic blood drug test demand. he will settle for a spit test. LOL!
