Manny Pacquiao Slams Mayweather Over ‘Banned IV’ Report

By now you’ve probably heard about the report, stating that Floyd Mayweather Jr. used a banned IV the day before the Manny Pacquiao fight and all the other weird details regarding USADA. If not, check it out HERE.

What do you guys make of all this? Obviously just because he used an IV it doesn’t mean he used any banned substances, but it does raise the question as to why he needed so much fluid, when his weigh-cut wasn’t even that drastic.

“It is very disturbing. Yeah, I am outraged. But I don’t know what we can do about it. I can’t change the result.”

“I am not casting aspersions at anyone. But I have always wondered why does (Mayweather) leave it to the last minute before he announces the fight.”
