Pacquiao-Mayweather in jeopardy...

[Rantcatrat]

I may be alone on this site defending the choice of not taking this test..

If the rules of boxing implimented this test for all professional fights, then i would not be standing on my soap box right now..

But the Boxing Committee is not the one asking for this type of testing... Its Floyd MONEY Mayweather... He is not doing all this for the welfare of his life or any other fighter out there... If he was why wouldn't he or any other fighter ask for this type of testing..


Guys,

I'm not against this type of testing, i'm against Floyd grandstanding like he is threatened by PAC being a cheater... You guys know this is a ploy to mess with PAC whether you agree with the test or not...

So let Manny take this simple test and be done with it...

It isn't that big a deal. Most of us here could have a blood test and not get too distressed by it. I think Manny could probably do so too, he's probably a stronger man than me.

You could also ask the question, why doesn't boxing have more stringent tests already? Maybe this does set a precedent...maybe that's not such a bad thing for major fights.

It may not be a big deal to some, but maybe it is to Manny... I have yet to hear Manny personally respond, so we will have to await his response...

However, I'm with you on the stringent testing - But do you honestly thing Floyd is trying to set a precedent in the sport of boxing? And why do people keep saying "Major" or "Title" fights only... If you were a professional fighter would you believe your safety was any less important then a guy fighting for a title.. I wouldn't!! I care to much about you Miles...haha

I hear you on that point and to an extent, I agree. On the other hand, the guy is a boxer - he punches and is punched for a living. And he's been through some gruesome wars in which blood dripped all over his face. I find it hard to believe that giving blood would make him so uneasy that he would turn down a $30M pay day. Also, this fight would be monstrous for boxing. It may even have an effect of bringing the sport back into the limelight. I would hate to see it fail to come to fruition because Manny refuses to submit to blood tests when at least in my humble opinion, he probably has nothing at all to hide because I serously doubt he's doped up.
