Sky Sports | Boxing | News | Roach slams Mayweather
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
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.
