There's a reason they call this place FloydHype on the net. From my perspective it looks like these two are headed for a showdown next year.

sometimes it defintely feels that way.

As for the fight, I don't even care anymore. If it happens, it happens. It'll end up being a letdown anyway.

Here's the original story: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/8...dar.html?cat=14

LOL @ ESPN UK picking up a story from an "exclusive interview" done by a Yahoo "contributor" (Granville Ampong) who I believe is a Filipino. Not that it even matters if he's Filipino, but it is interesting to see Bob Arum telling him that as opposed to the actual Yahoo journalist Kevin Iole. It's almost as if Arum is tugging at the hearts of all Filipinos, making it look as though they shouldn't trust USADA because it's a US-based organization and Pacquiao is a Filipino fighter. Meanwhile, he's all about trusting the Nevada State Athletic Commission, another US-based organization.

LMAO.

Just out of curiosity, what the FVCK is the Olympic Organization? I've never heard of that organization before. Is he referring to the International Olympic Committee (IOC)? If that's the case, then I assume he's REALLY talking about the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which handles the drug testing for the Olympics. But then again, if he's referring to WADA, then what the hell is the difference in the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), which is affiliated with WADA?



So let me get this straight, USADA follows the WADA Anti-Doping Code, Pacquiao fights and makes money here in the United States and trusts the rules and regulations of the boxing commissions here in the United States, but now all of a sudden they don't trust USADA.

Get the fvck out of here.

I hate to say it, but some of you diehard fans are really, really, REALLY fvckin dumb. I can't even hate on Bob Arum. If I had it that easy, I'd keep doing what he's doing too. Man, I can't wait to see Pacquiao vs. Cotto 2, Pacquiao vs. Margarito 2, and Pacquiao vs. Mike Jones. LOL.

Oh, and not for nothing, but perhaps Arum should get word to Michael Koncz and let him know about what the new story is so everybody can get back on the same page. LOL.

It truly amazes me how some people continue to believe the person who keeps moving the goal posts as opposed to someone who has consistently said the same thing over, and over, and over again. SMH.

That is some dumb shit Arum is talking again...how is the USADA not good enough. So still more bull shit and a way to not take the test? Or will he take it test so we can get the richest fight in history? This is bull shit...whatever AGAIN!

Man I wish that story meant the 2 are fighting next year but it kinda sounds like Arum double talk and finding another way to make the fight fall apart! IDK WHATEVER!

in the article it said he wanted the organization to work with the commission. do you think it's because he's no pull with the USADA and if someone is working with the NSAC he'll have more to work with? it's something i was thinking of when Arum called them a cowboy organization and they didn't have to report to anyone. if a doping organization has to report to someone it sounds like they've to get test dates OKd and work with them on everything.

i've got to admit though, if Arum got the organization and NSAC together and they'd a bunch of cutoffs for testing i would laugh my ass off lol. i could hear "we agreed to full random testing, it's just that full random testing with the Olympic org and NSAC has a 2 week cutoff and only tests 8am-2pm on weekdays"

i've been coming on this site about back when it first started looking like Mayweather and Pac would fight and i've never seen the bias some people talk about. i don't think anyone making the claims can back it up either.

[zucrates]

What's killing me about this whole blood loss thing is this....When you watch the video of pac talking about how he was weak when he fought morales, blood taken day or whatever before the fight etc etc..... there is one thing that is stands out very much so in that interview and it's the fact that pacquaio admitted to NOT EATING, OR DRINKING ANY KIND OF FLUIDS because he was trying to make weight..that's why he was weak...

I knew it had to be some thing else because he put Hatton to sleep after the test. Also why are people leaving this info out of the story if it true! ( Pacquaio admitted to NOT EATING, OR DRINKING ANY KIND OF FLUIDS because he was trying to make weight..that's why he was weak...)WOW!

[FightHypeRules]

I think there is a definite bias, but I don't think it really matters. There are plenty of pro-pac sites out there, so what's wrong with a site that leans more towards Floyd's side of things?

And I think those who say that it is not biased are perhaps fooling themselves, or perhaps are too close to the situation.

No offense or anything, but I think it's fairly clear.

There's always talk of "we post up interviews with Manny's team" or "we've reached out to them" the bottom line is that virtually every post dealing with the drug testing, the writing is slanted towards damn near everything Floyd says is correct, and everything Manny/Arum and them say is misleading and lies. You can talk all day about how you think Manny has the right to reject testing, but everything written seems to be making Floyd's case for him. That while they both have the rights to do whatever they want, that Floyd is correct and Manny is hiding something by not agreeing to the tests.

Every email bag does the same thing. "hmmm, that IS a good question" about someone writing in ripping Manny for not taking the test and proving Floyd wrong.

As I said, no offense intended. If it's taken, then it's whatever. But I don't think that anyone can reasonably say that the site hasn't taken a pro-Floyd stance. The news articles have opinions flowing through them, so that's why I think many view it as "FloydHype" or whatever.

You can frame it as "Giving Floyd a chance to say his side" in the sense of all these other sites are printing whatever Arum tells them, but it's still the same thing. You're slanting your coverage in his favor. Plainly relating that you believe Floyd's side over Manny's.

Just my thoughts which are obviously going to be taken as worthless. Insults incoming in 4......3.........2.........1..........

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't that test like two-three weeks out? I believe that was like 21 days out or something.

but isn't it? sure, Mayweather could have just given up on testing. but time and time again Arum has gotten caught up in his own bullshit. i'm not saying he's different than any other promoter but he's definitely been playing the game when it comes to testing. he gives you lawyer answers to yes or no questions. someone asks "is testing still an issue?" and he'll say "it's complicated but it should be worked it".

i'm not saying he's lying about everything but he's definitely used the testing as a way to make him and Pac a lot more money than they would have got if they just fought Mayweather. from Clottey to Marquez he'll probably make more than what he would have got for Mayweather and Arum has been putting his fighters in with him, that's getting a good % of two checks. and Mayweather will still happen.
