Another new excuse, Mayweather camp wants Pacquiao to train in USA or there's no fight? Any thoughts ?

I just had a gut feeling that even if Pacquiao agrees to random blood testing, either Floyd Sr or Jr would still think they should have more authority than Pacquiao or the commission in the drug testing and also now where Pacquiao should train. I never take any sides on the issue for over two years I've been here everyone knows that. But if the Mayweather camp makes a new excuse it's obvious Mayweather is ducking. People always say never use the word coward in boxing to me coward exist for everybody even a soldier who ran away from the battlefield. This pros are boxers and their job is to fight.

Mayweather camp has no authority to force Pacquiao where he wants to train. He can train wherever he wants and in the first place did not had no accommodate Mayweather's drug testing demand because he is innocent of any wrongdoing.

    Unless PBF fans wake up to reality and stop supporting Floyd's demands, he will always find new excuses to avoid risking his 0-loss record against Pacquiao. Notice that I did not say, he is scared or afraid. Mayweather would rather lose to someone else but not to the person that he has unjustly accused, slurred, belittled, and made derogatory remarks because he knows that the motivation of that person to defeat him won't be easy to handle.

    Even with the distractions in the Philippines time and time again Pacquiao still perform well in the ring so it doesn't distract Pacquiao as much as people thinks. In most of Pacquiao's fights, he did better in the ring training in the Philippines than in USA because he is more comfortable there!

    Mayweather has no right to tell Pacquiao where to train! Not even the commission has that authority! This demand is too much but I'm afraid many Mayweather supporters will still support Mayweather on this even if it is very clear Mayweather is trying to do too much not to let this fight happen because of his obvious fear!

  • Pacquiao is a Congressman. He can't Just leave the Philippines and train entirely in USA , he has a responsibility. Plus it is more convenient for him physically and psychologically to train in his own country!

    This demands is ridiculous! You can train anywhere you want! If you choose to train in mars that's you're fkin right! This is the problem with Mayweather fans, they nuthug Floyd like he's some kind of a living God! Isn't it obvious that the man is trying to do too much and act like he's some kind of authority. These people still puts Mayweather as if he should be the authority!

    This tells it right here! Mayweather is scared! Plain and simple! Pacquiao already won the war without fighting in it! Pacquiao is ranked ahead than Mayweather and Mayweather will easily be forgotten in boxing history! He is no global icon or a respected athlete due to his unsportmanlike and criminal stuff and racism! Pacquiao already beat him without saying a word!

    They will demand that because they said before that team Pacquiao should give access to a Mayweather representative to visit their training anytime, at random and conduct their own surprise inspection apart from the USADA visits.

    JENNA: Let’s say that Pacquiao does finally agree to everything that your son wants testing-wise. Do you think you’d be more apt to want to see that fight happen if Pacquiao does that?

    MAYWEATHER: I would agree to that fight if they had people from Little Floyd’s Camp in Pacquiao’s Camp for random, any time they desired, to check him out. Check him out. Give him a thorough check every time you go. Pacquiao has the same choice to do that with my son and there ain’t no doubts, no questions in my mind that the fight would take place tomorrow.

    This is short of saying the fight will never happen. What's next after this, that they want Jinkee to give them a rub? The reason why the fight is not happening is deeper than what we are thinking. It is not about the demand or anything and even if Manny Pacquiao accept whatever demand Floyd have will only be met with another one.

    This is insane. Some will even justify this and these were one of the reason why Floyd was reluctant to accept the challenge. As long as he can find somebody who is willing to defend all what he want, he will stall as long as he can until one or both retire.

    Even though it would be a demand that would beneficial for Team Pacquiao, I highly doubt that Pac would agree to it. First off, he's also a Congressman, so his time away from the Philippines can't be too long. Secondly, it would be about egos. Pacquiao wouldn't do it because it would seem like he's bending to Mayweather's demands and it gives the perception that he's jumping through hoops to make Mayweather happy.

    This demand doesn't surprise me. It seems that every time Team Pac meets one of their demands, another one comes up. Remember when Team Pac agreed to Mayweather's original demand of a 14 day cutoff. Then, all of a sudden, 14 days wasn't good enough. Who negotiates like that? Say, you were interviewing for a job and you asked initially asked for $75k per year. Your employer offered $70K per year. You say, okay, let's do $70 K per year then, and your employer says, hold on, hold on...you'll only work here if you agree to $60K per year? What would you do? Accept the job at $60K per year when they offered $70K?

    Then, remember how Mayweather Sr. said that there would be no fight taking place, EVEN if the Pac camp agreed to ALL the drug testing demands unless Team Pac allowed access to Team Mayweather to ensure they're not cheating to their training camp? If you don't remember, here's my question about it and a link. Of course, Mayweather fans would say, Mayweather Sr. isn't officially part of Team Mayweather. If it's a statement that isn't viewed as favorable, then they're not part of the team or the demand isn't official. It's ony when it's favorable that it's an official demand or statement. Like when Money says "Pacquiao you're next". Then all of a sudden it's "see I told you he's not ducking Pac".

  • If Manny Pacquiao wants the fight with "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather Jr. then, he

    is going to have to agree to Mayweather's terms and conditions. First, he asked for

    random blood testing and now you are saying that he wants for Manny Pacquiao to

    train in America. Honestly, I don't think that Manny Pacquiao would object to that if

    it were one of Mayweather's request Manny Pacquiao trains at the Wild Card Boxing

    gym in California and he even has a house in America so, I don't think that would be

    an issue in them having to make this mega fight for next year. First, though Floyd he

    has to get past a very tough, agile and difficult opponent in "Vicious" Victor Ortiz that

    fight will take place September 17, 2011 on HBO pay per view if Floyd Mayweather Jr

    gets past Victor Ortiz then, we can talk a potential showdown with Manny Pacquiao.

    Pacquaio is a great fighter. Arum does only one thing by continuously matching him against former Mayweather victims - ensures his longevity in the sport and continued paydays. For you Pacman worshipers out there, re-read my very first sentence before you continue on... Mayweather would destroy, embarrass and humiliate Pacman. Floyd is too big, too quick, too skilled and would have an easy time picking the easy to hit (especially on the counter punch) Pacman apart. Anyone who believes otherwise is thinking with their heart and not their brain. For the record, I don't think Pacman is afraid of Floyd and I believe he would fight him if Arum would permit it but Arum is not stupid enough to close the bank vault by offering Pacman up as a one-off financial windfall when he feels there's at least a handful of lucrative paydays left (anybody for Pacman vs Marquez IV or V or VI?). By the way, does anyone remember what Floyd did to Marquez? If they fought again does anyone out there really think Marquez would do any better? People seem to let their dislike of Mayweather cloud their ability to enjoy rational thought.

    Pacquiao would hate that requirement but Roach would love it. Imagine no VIP politician trying to get into Pacquiao's camp. No fans stopping him whenever he is out. No Karaoke nights. No single girls making marriage proposals on Freddie Roach!

    Pacquiao could have the best camp yet!

    Again obviously Mayweather is just trying to get into Pacquiao's head. Pacquiao should not give in. The world will know who's scared of whom.

    Flomos should admit that Floyd is full of excuses

    @cathy

    did you know Mayweather also demanded to install their own men in Pacquiao camp to watch his training everyday

    wtf this coward Floyd is ruining boxing

    ITS NOT ABOUT THE TESTING

    ITS NOT ABOUT WHERE HE TRAINS

    ITS ABOUT FLOYD DUCKING!!!!
