Mayweathers and GBP in trouble after accusations

Sometimes it's better to admit than to make excuses, and many boxing fans think the same way. Floyd Mayweather Sr. started the steroid use of Manny Pacquiao. We can't blame him because he's the father of the self proclaimed greatest boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. I bet it's hard to accept for Sr. to watch a small guy like Pacquiao destroying and beating bigger opponents without respect. If only Team Mayweather didn't make any accusations, excuses and idiotic demands, the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. could have been saved. Actually, I believe that the skills of Mayweather jr. is enough to pacify the ferocious Pacman inside the ring, make no mistake, it doesn't mean he has the skills doesn't mean he will win. Floyd Mayweather jr. don't have the skills to fight toe on toe with Pacquiao. His defense will fall short in the long run. He can run but he can't hide.



According to CNN, Manny Pacquiao is aiming to deliver a knockout blow to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the U.S. courts after filing a lawsuit against the American and his connections over claims he used performance-enhancing drugs.
The lawsuit, lodged in the Las Vegas district court on Wednesday, names Mayweather, his father Floyd senior, former boxing star Oscar De La Hoya and fellow Golden Boy Promotions executive Richard Schaefer.
"Calling a professional athlete a cheater is the most serious charge one can make," the lawsuit says, "and in today's world, accusing an athlete of using performance-enhancing drugs -- however baseless and lacking in evidence -- is toxic."
The Filipino fighter, who has won world titles at five different weights, was slated to fight Mayweather on March 13 next year in a money-spinning bout in Las Vegas.
But he was infuriated by the insistence of Mayweather's camp that he undergo Olympic-style pre-fight blood testing and the alleged implication that he had used illegal drugs.
Even the legendary boxing analyst Larry Merchant is siding with Pacquiao. Merchant said he thinks that the demand of the Floyd Mayweather camp that Pacquiao undergo Olympic-style random drug tests “ seems like its some sort of ploy." 


The veteran boxing analyst said "I thought it was just some gamesmanship by Mayweather who has a certain talent for mind games with opponents, creating conflict to help promote events. It appears that it has spiraled out of control. I couldn't imagine why. First of all, since he thinks he's going to win the fight and second of all because he's going to make upwards of 30 million or 40 million dollars, how could you take it seriously?" 


Let's take it from the expert. It seem's like Pacquiao vs Mayweather Jr. is off inside the ring, but will resume inside the court of law. 


Possible next fight: Manny Pacquiao vs Yuri Foreman
