Freddie Roach hints end is nigh for Manny Pacquiao | More Sports News | ESPN.co.uk
what a friggin pussy, he's scared shitless of Mayweather lol
PACQUIAO AINT SCARED OF MAYWEATHER!!!!!!
It's the drug test that does him in and he forever taints his legacy if he retires on.. Clottey.. and Mayweather keeps it goin with Mosley
Do you honestly think a guy who has fought the opponents Pacquiao has is scared of Floyd Mayweather? Even if Mayweather beat him people would just say he was too small/at the end of his career etc. I see nothing that indicates that Pacquiao is scared of anyone. He might appear afraid of failing a drug test or so prideful that he won't give in to Mayweather's demands, but I doubt he's scared.Quote:

This to me does not look like Manny is scared and there is nothing here that would indicate that he is avoiding Floyd. If Manny wins against Clottey, the only fight left for him is Mayweather (provided he also wins his respective fight). And Roach used the word suggested which means it's not even definite.
"If a deal cannot be struck with Floyd Mayweather Jr." means, if Pacquiao doesn't get his way, which you know isn't gonna happen, sorry the blood tests DO need to happen, and if Pacquiao takes the pussy way out and tucks ass into retirement without the blood tests, there is always gonna be a cloud over his accomplishmentsQuote:

This goes both ways. Floyd already came up with a statement that it would not be a 50/50 if he fights Manny. This fight could also be derailed if Floyd doesn't get his way.Quote:

And yes, that blood test needs to happen. And do you know why the fight didn't happen? It isn't because Manny refused the blood test. He agreed to the blood test. They just didn't agree on the blood test protocol (24 days vs 14 days).
I have to go to bed now since I need to wake up early. I'll check on your response tomorrow. Don't worry, I'm not avoiding you.
don't worry much about elterriblemorales, the morales should be struck out of his name when it comes to pacquiao. lolQuote:

He's not retiring....win or lose vs Clottey and I dont think the former is a certainty.
Pac might not be scared of Mayweather, but he is scared of taking a random drug test. If people can be stopped randomly when driving a car to breathe into a tube, then Manny can agree to a random drugs test. It's the same thing, no one is saying you are guilty, but it's up to you every now and then just to do something and say "there you go...I'm clean, let's fight". Just as the driver can drive away into the night, the fighter can then get his career high payday. You don't just drive down backstreets in the hope that there are no cops and where you will only pass people driving Top Rank cars. That to me indicates drink driving.
In the past few years i have come to learn two things. Pac is not scared of anyone, and NEVER to believe Freddy Roach.
I absolutely agree with both points.Quote:

The police in this country do stop people randomly after a certain time in the evenings and I think it is a good idea considering so many like to drink and drive out here. So, in my instance the analogy fits. I don't know how it is in other countries.Quote:

Manny's recent achievements have been spectacular. Marquez had his way with Manny only a few years ago and it took an age for him to get Diaz out of there and here he is marching up through the weights stopping bigger men with ease and busting them up badly. I would never have had any suspicions had it not been for their response to the demand of random drug testing. The refusal to go through with a mega fight over such a silly issue has cast doubt upon everything Manny has ever achieved.
If I refused to give a breath sample the cops would assume that I was trying to hide something, it's the same here. Manny's refusal to give random samples makes him look very suspicious. All it took was a simple "yes" and an impish grin and the fight would have been on. The lies that came with the refusal to give blood only deepened the question marks. Mosley has managed to go through with the testing proving it's not a big deal unless you make it a big deal. Manny comes off looking bad, and in the eyes of many, is like or not tarnished as a man who refused/couldn't prove he was for real.
I agree with you on that Miles. The refusal of the random blood testing only raised some suspicion. It was the many different excuses and contradictions of why Manny didn't want the blood test that made it look bad and really fishy. Not to mention the so called lawsuit that somehow went away.
If Pacquiao retires after clottey all I can say is pound for pound champ my arse!
But I believe that this is just a retort to mayweather....
Floyd didn't turn away from the fight with Pacquiao until Manny had already officially signed to fight Clottey, he even tried to negotiate the time period of the testing with Manny but well we know what happened there, and Floyd only said that there won't be a 50/50 split if he fights Pacquiao now if his fight with Mosley outsells Pacquiao's fight with ClotteyQuote:

this fight is already derailed because the two of them are a bunch of divas
and it's already been proven that urine tests just don't cut it anymore, Mayweather had already agreed to undergo the same exact procedures that Manny would have, yet it is still being billed as giving Floyd an "advantage"Quote:

Its all bullshiit, after Manny beat Cotto, apperantly Floyd was the only fight left for him then but no he fights a journeyman;DQuote:

As long as Pacquiao is filled to the eye balls with drugs he wont bhe scared of anyone thats true but hes not going to fight anyone if hes not allowed to do that is he:rolleyes:
Roach saying winner take all, if I was Floyd id make them get their lawyers to put that in writing then get all them to sign it, id then get my lawyers to check its water tight, id then waive the random tests, beat the shit of the midget and have $100 million in my back pocket, or whats left of it after taxes, manager and trainer fees and so on, probably less than half.
Roach and Pacquiao are jokes, Floyd makes one request and its only to make sure they are both being fair and Roach and Pacquiao run away crying like little biitch girls and fight a nobody in the middle of nowhere for nothing;D
the reason Manny might retire is because everyone will now demend Manny takes those tests.
Wasn't he supposed to start campaigning for political office directly after the Clottey fight? I haven't read the article, but that was why everything was rushed and had to be on a certain date right?
Have Pacquiao's political ambitions changed?
No, he's still running, but no guarantee that he'll win. He lost the last time
No way will he retire when there is so much money going his way at the minute. He has the potential to make the biggest PPV fight in history and he won't go away until that has either happened or at least been completely ruined by demands and refusals.
Tonight he was on TV, here in the Philippines, showing him taking a blood test in LA "like a man," showing no discomfort at all.
He said that familiar old spin that "he didn't want any blood tests close to the fight because it weakens him."
The police may be able to stop the people randomly but would they be able to demand alcohol breath test without any suspicion? Not in this country.Quote:

I don't blame people for having such suspicions because of the way Manny responded to the request for the blood drug test. But, remember that there are people who also became suspicious that Floyd even demanded such in the first place. They, somehow, both tarnished their image.
If the cops requested breath sample from somebody, it is because they have a suspicion that the person may be drunk. A person being asked such should not be able to say no because the cop has the authority to demand such. Let's say there is this media person who hitched a ride in the cop car. You were stopped by that police and that media person is the one demanding that you subject yourself to the breath test. Would you? Some people would probably say yes but, let's be honest, some posters in here would not. I would not.
Mosley will agree to any demand just to be in a megafight. Wasn't he even willing to go down to a ridiculous weight just to have a chance with Pacquiao? And besides, he already admitted to such use and that's the only way he came somehow make himself look clean.
I agree with both of you. The way Pacquiao responded to the demand for the blood drug test did raise some suspicion. But most of the boxing fan would not lose sleep over this. They would not try to smear him every chance they have for "refusing" something that was demanded of him by a person not in authority to make such demands. And have you heard anything about the lawsuit being withdrawn? Just because you have stopped hearing about it, doesn't mean it still isn't there.Quote:

this fight is already derailed because the two of them are a bunch of divas
There was a disagreement with regards to the day when the last blood test is to be taken prior to the fight. They went to arbitration in order to save the negotiation. The arbitration failed because they can not agree on the blood test protocol. So, what more is there to discuss? (I wish eagle can help me find the link that I had used in another thread.) And I agree with you there that both of them are a bunch of divas.

Floyd has a specific demand (14 days) and he wants it to go his way. Manny has his own specific counter demand (24 days) and it also didn't go his way. We cannot blame one person for the failure of their megafight from happening.

If Manny wins against Clottey, the only fight left for him is Mayweather (provided he also wins his respective fight). And Roach used the word suggested which means it's not even definite.
Because of his political ambition in the Philippines, he was in a hurry to have a fight by March. Since the negotiation, and later arbitration, for their megafight failed, then he had to move on. Who then was the next best fighter available? Not Mosley because he was still scheduled to fight Berto then.
As long as Pacquiao is filled to the eye balls with drugs he wont bhe scared of anyone thats true but hes not going to fight anyone if hes not allowed to do that is he:rolleyes:
You are making an accussation here. To be suspicious of Manny is logical, to accuse him without any evidence is not.
Roach saying winner take all, if I was Floyd id make them get their lawyers to put that in writing then get all them to sign it, id then get my lawyers to check its water tight, id then waive the random tests, beat the shit of the midget and have $100 million in my back pocket, or whats left of it after taxes, manager and trainer fees and so on, probably less than half.
I would not even want to comment with regards to what Roach said. He, sometimes, talk too much. But I admire him as a trainer.
Roach and Pacquiao are jokes, Floyd makes one request and its only to make sure they are both being fair and Roach and Pacquiao run away crying like little biitch girls and fight a nobody in the middle of nowhere for nothing;D
You really think that the request was made for the fight to be fair. Is that what Floyd said or is that an assumption? When he can dictate the terms, did he made sure that their fight is fair and that he had no advantage?
the reason Manny might retire is because everyone will now demend Manny takes those tests.
But Manny did agree to the blood test. They will have to renegotiate again with regards to which protocol has to be followed. I just wish the Nevada Boxing Commission just demand the blood test and have all boxers follow their protocol.
Manny didnt agree to random tests thats why hes fighting a nobody instead.
There were also other viable opponents, like Bradley for example but like I said, his management wont let him fight Pacquiao without the tests, the only fighters that will are Bob Arums fighters, which is why you might see Pacquiao in with Margarito;D
I also wished that Pacquiao and Mayweather would be able to face each other and settle once and for all who is the P4P champ. But their fight negotiation collapsed and they both moved on. We can all go back to discussing the renegotiation for their fight once they have beaten their respective opponents. Until then, let's just settle down, relax and enjoy both of their fights.Quote:

If I tell you to pick a number between 5 and 15, can it be considered random? Random means with no order or plan.
& taking a test after the fight is a complete joke. The test is meant to prevent the cheater from stepping into the ring & potentially injuring someone.
Good god, we're not gonna start another blood testing thread are we?
Some people, believe one side.............Some people, believe the other side.
NO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THEIR VIEWS!!
So let's get back to my question. ;D
I understand he is considered a bit of a joke politically and lost pretty bad last time, BUT what if he wins the election? It seems that boxing fans are writing this off as a foregone conclusion he's going to lose. Someone's got to win and in politics anything can happen.
But that is already above and beyond what is required by the Nevada Boxing Commission. Maybe if Floyd insisted on the blood test up until the fight, Manny might have agreed to a 14 days but we wouldn't know, would we? Maybe it's because Manny did not want to give in to Floyd's demand since he had no authority to dictate a new regulation. There are a lot of 'maybes' so I give Manny the benefit of the doubt in the absence of any credible evidence that he is using PEDs.Quote:

I agree with you that this should have already been a dead topic. But people keeps bringing it up and I feel the urge to bring up the other side of the story. This forum should be seen as balanced, is it not? To the other posters, give the blood test issue a rest and you won't be hearing from me. They moved on so we must move on.Quote:

Honestly, I am not interested about the result of his elections, what matters to me is his boxing skills and what he can achieve on the ring. If he drops the floyd's fight for a matter of blood test, what I think is quite clear, no matter what: Legacy stained, though I wouldn't accuse him automatically of enhancing drug use.Quote:

Ok, from that angle, I would say: the biggest publicity stunt ever to increase his popularity infront of the public, even a lost could easily be marketed to increase the whole thing.Quote:

But that is what happened. Mayweather originally wanted up to the date of the fight & Pacquiao wanted 30 days. Mayweather spit the difference & compromised right in the middle, 14 days. Pacquiao was only willing to budge 6 days. From 30 to 24.Quote:

But I agree. The fact that Pacquiao's reaction was suspicious proves nothing. But it does prove he reacted suspicious to a very serious accusation. In the end he alone looks bad. The general public perception of him is unfavorable because of his suspicious reaction. These days being on PEDs & steroids is worse than anything else in the world of sports. Even those who are simply accused are picked apart by the media. Why did Pacquiao think any different would happen to him? He made his bed & he has to lay in it.
Also, I agree it's above what the commission wants, but as I understand both fighters had the right to make any demand they wanted. Pacquiao made that outlandish weight penalty demand & Mayweather made the random blood testing demand. Whether either demand was warranted or not is neither nere nor there. It's a demand. If Mayweather demanded 30 cases of ice cream bars in his dressing room on fight night, he had the right to at least ask for it even tho it's foolish. Thats the whole point of being able to make demands.

It is reported here that he has a better chance of winning this year. If he wins, he will have to be sworn in sometime in July. No one in the press, to my knowledge, has addressed the issue if he can still box and be able to stay in Congress. My gut feeling is that Congress would give him a leave to make this mega fight.
Really? I get mad when my representitives take a day off for golf. Ah well what's more important? Rebuilding Baguio city or a fight with Mayweather?Quote:
