Should Manny Pac go ahead with the blood test?

[blegit]

Roach here 'explains' why Manny will not give blood. Again, I find his reasoning to be very weak. The same old "it will make Manny mentally tired" argument. You would have thought they would have come up with something a little more persuasive.

This is getting bad. I was going for Pac but I'm a boxing fan first and this is looking bad. Amazing how they say Mayweather doesn't want the fight but the only thing holding up the fight is how Pac's supposed unstable superstitious mental state would be if he is tested a week before the fight. Is that really the best they could come up with

Roach needs to rehearse his interviews. Each interview is sounding worse and making me say did he think first. Latest one is he said he won't play the Mayweather rules for wanting reliable steroid testing but forgets Mayweather is playing his rules... at the tune of $10 million/pound.

The arguments I have heard from Arum and Roach have been somewhat corny. Arum is talking about "harrassment". Roach is talking about a blood test affecting Manny's "mentality". We have all gone through the arguments that a blood test is really not that big a deal. If Manny is able to endure getting tattoos, then surely he is able to deal with a random blood test several times over the course of a 2/3 month period. Mayweather would be going through the same thing. It's a simple case of give and take. Mayweather gave with the weight clause, but the Pac camp refuses to give anything in return and in doing so has cast some doubt on the credibility of Pac himself. You couldn't make this stuff up, it would be funny if only it wasn't so real.

Surely if Manny walks away from the biggest payday of his career due to as small a detail as getting blood tests he is on drugs. The whole 'blood tests freak me out' argument is fucken bulshit.

pbf is scared and will do everything so this fight will not go on.

he wasnt asking for drug test BS on the jmm fight he just went for it cause he knows he can beat jmm.

he refused to weigh in and went in over the limit so he has more advantage. now that pacs team asked 10M per pound, i know its too much but thats to make sure pbf will go in the right weight. pbf countered by the peds allegations.

to me its all BS and im sure pac will go on with the tests, atleast pac has an excuse when he gets beat by pbf. (he was drained by the blood tests) lol


oh and happy holidays to all of you!

Do you really think Floyd is scared and that he's trying to back out? All he is asking is that Manny submit to a random drugs check. Pacquiao has been flying up through the weights in quite an incredible manner. It's only right that he is checked to make sure that he really is just human. If there is a loophole in the testing procedure and a blood test is a way to cover all the possibilities then that is the way to go. I'm no Floyd fan as anyone knows, but in this instance I happen to think he is right. If Manny is clean then I don't see the problem. It's a case of having an eensy weensy bit of blood drawn on a few random occasions. It isn't as though he is being cut up and a pint of blood is being drained each time. It's nothing in the great scheme of things. If it's enough to get Floyd in the ring, as it seemingly is, then he should pluck up some nerve and just get it done.

Manny should take the tests.
