This video that Manny Pacquiao is perfectly able to undergo blood tests without too much difficulty. So, he has no real reason to object to random blood testing then, right?

lol now Pac is suing...
MANILA, Philippines -- Manny Pacquiao is not taking the insinuations sitting down.
After being accused of using performance-enhancing drugs by the camp of Floyd Mayweather Jr., Pacquiao now plans to file civil complaints against the Mayweathers and Golden Boy Promotions.
“Enough is enough. These people, Mayweather Sr., Jr., and Golden Boy Promotions, think it is a joke and a right to accuse someone wrongly of using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs,” said Pacquiao in a report by PhilBoxing.com.
The 7-time world champion said his character has been damaged by false accusations, which is why he plans to file cases of libel, slander and defamation against his accusers.
“I have instructed my promoter, Bob Arum, head of Top Rank Inc., to help me out in the filing of the case as soon as possible because I have had people coming over to me now asking if I really take performance-enhancing drugs and I have cheated my way into becoming the No. 1 boxer in the world,” said the reigning pound-for-pound king.
Pacquiao said he has had enough of the circus being played by the Mayweather camp, which he had tried to ignore. “I have tried to just brush it off as a mere pre-fight ploy but I think they have gone overboard,” he said.
Mayweather, who is represented by Golden Boy Promotions, earlier demanded that he and Pacquiao should undergo Olympic-type of drug testing.
Pacquiao agreed to blood testing in January, a month before the bout and immediately after. He, however, thumbed down blood tests near the fight date.
Time to move on
Arum tried to settle the issue by proposing that the test be done by an independent drug testing agencies being used by the National Football League and National Basketball Association.
When the Mayweathers denied the proposal, Arum called a halt to the March 13 fight.
"It would be reasonable to have some organization to perform all the tests on both fighters. We're not against testing. We just don't want testing right up against the fight," Arum said in USA Today.
Arum said he is now working to arrange a fight between Pacquiao and Paulie Malignaggi on that date at a site to be determined on pay-per-view.
The Top Rank promoter added that Pacquiao is also interested in facing Shane Mosley, who is facing Andre Berto on January 30.
Haha a lawsuit now he's really looking guilty. Come on nobodies buying Malignaggi as a real opponent and what Mosley is going to fight again two months after Berto.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
first off youve tottally gone against what you meant to try and prove by showing that pac can take the tests easilly enough so there must be another reason he is refusing
secondly, did any of the other fighters you mentioned have a $10 mil fine placed over them for the weight limit ?? same thing
also i have never known other boxers come out and accuse another professional like this... and its guys who wont ever fight pac and have to no reason to simply try and discredit him..... makes me wonder why they would now
These negotiations make me crazy.
I shouldn't be opening my account in this forum until the negotiation is finished.
Anyway, i'll try to cool my head and agree with everybody else here that Pac should take the random drug testing.
Of course, he should make more crazy demands on Mayweather like $15 million dollar per excess pound and Mayweather should not weigh more than 150lbs on fight night.
This is the only way to win this negotiation. Agree with the opponent's demands no matter how ludicrous they are and make more ludicrous demands.
I hope the team pacquaio is reading my posts here.
I'm giving you free advice TEAM PACQUAIO. Hope you're reading this.
Ikariam
shouldnt weigh more than 150 on fight night why not ? re-hydration clauses hadnt been about before pac starting trying to throw them in, they are more rediculous than random drug testing
this puts fighters at a health risk by stating they cant rehydrate to full strength
Not as far as I am aware, but likewise none of the fighters you listed have jumped up several weight classes and continued to be supremely dominant. Manny's rise in recent years has been nothing short of spectacular and now questions are being asked. Mayweather is trying to cover all the bases and I don't see how he can be blamed for doing that. Nobody would agree that it is right for loopholes to exist where drug cheats can slip through. Not that I'm saying Manny is a drugs cheat, but you do have to wonder why he refuses to go ahead with what on the surface seems a very reasonable request. A lot is at stake here.
good. I hope it does fuck up his training because I remember how the pacfans thought is was hilarious that Barreras training was interrupted flying back and forth because he had to go for tests because of the whole plate in the head issue and was only cleared to fight on the Wednesday before they fought on Saturday.
And pacfans are bitching about a blood test. Fuck 'em
Did Manny and his team know when this test was going to happen?
I.e. was it random or not?
Proves he doesnt mind doing a blood est close to a fight.
Malignagi? Arum is going for Malignagi?He accused Manny of taking something recently, maybe anyone who is mentioned as opponents now should all request the same random tests
Manny looks a right little priick at the moment, I thought I didnt like Floyd but Manny is really leaving a bad taste in the mouth about all his previous victories, like Margarito did.
As for having Mosely as an opponent, 1 drug cheat versus someone who refuses random testing![]()
