Pacquiao talking bollox....

[killersheep]

Did you listen to the interview? It's goes right to the matter Floyd is demanding blood tests up until 14 days prior while Manny agreed to 24 days prior, its a game by PBF becuase he knows Manny is superstitious. They are not using the testing I listed above which could clearly be given every day for 20 days prior to fight time and catch ANY cheating. The drugs he is referring to that could clear in 1 day are none hormonal (but even so could be tested for), steroids are hormonal and would not even be effective if they cleared in one day. Worst case a hair analysis could be done on either fighter the day of the fight to see if any banned substance was ever taken. Conte suggests random testing prior to fight time and Manny agreed to urinalysis everyday. These are two guys fighting for 10's of millions of dollars and 40k worth of testing for the last 20 days should not be a big deal. It's not like the Olympics where thousands of athletes need to be tested at a potential cost of 100's of millions, so testing is random and not full spectrum.

superstitious of what?

Right or wrong a lot of people think having any sort of blood taken weakens them...I have some old relatives from Europe who come up with even more bizzare shit than this...Not saying right or wrong just saying he's superstitious and has offered other (just as valid) alternatives to taking blood...Why is Floyd so insistent on having blood drawn?...Boxing News 24 has a pretty good read on Manny's superstition...

Of Superstition & Old Wives’ Tales: Pacquiao vs. Mayweather

I really don't care about Pacquiao's feelings or superstitions. He's taken blood tests before, he took one for this fight with Clottey with no issue, and then less than a week later this video comes out with him saying he felt the blood test would give Mayweather an advantage because he's bigger, of course Clottey is going to weigh 15-20 pounds more than Mayweather would have. But none of this matters. You aren't going to convince me of your view and I'm certainly not going to convince you of my views. The fact is that these views have been presented at great length in thousands of posts, in dozens of threads. Not really any point in duscussing it further. The fight isn't going to happen and that's fine there's a whole line up of great fights coming up that I don't have to listen to two diva's whining about conspiracies and superstitions. I don't take either fighters side anymore, they're both divas. Screw them and screw doing damage control, it's not worth it. We have Berto/Quintana, Cunningham/Godfrey, Latimore/Powell II, Arreola/Adamek, Maidana/Cayo, Guzman/Funeka II, Caballero/Yordan, Pavlik/Martinez, Angulo/Julio, Ortiz/Campbell, Pascal/Dawson, The Super Six fights, Vazquez/Marquez IV, Perez/Mares, Macklin/Ghevor, and hopefully Hasegawa/Montiel. All of those fights are great, they're all coming up soon, you don't have to pay for PPV and you don't have to pull up any tabloid internet articles to justify why they aren't fighting each other, they're just going to fight.
