That is not quite true. I visit my legal court talk forum slightly less than saddos
Seriously though, prime athletes are picky, often superstitious. It's not hard to relate to someone feeling that giving blood 1-2 days before a fight would weaken them mentally.
Why make Pacquiao run through hoops in the first place? I guess I just dont see the "blatant" evidence everyone else does that Pacquiao's reluctance to jump through hoops and bend to Mayweathers idiotic antics incriminates him.
If Floyd had class/respect in the first place none of this would've happened.
Dont blame Pacquiao for this. It takes two parties to negotiate. I still think the fight will happen. This is just the "fight" before the fight. A bunch of posing. This type of thing isnt typical for Pacquiao, so blame PBF/GB for the delay. But dont expect Pacquiao to bend over to it
Whatever man, GBP/Mayweather are not the ones taking this initiative on the court side. Why should I care about Pac's superstitions? especially considering he's given blood within 2 days of a fight before (Morales I) and 14 days before (Hatton). Both were drum roll please............random......So now it's not so unprecedented is it?
This is just me talking here, but Pac is being a pussy.
And the statement I've made all along that "Pac is backing out of the fight because of a drug test" is still true.
You can enjoy your spin doctoring and casting blame back all you want that's your right, but Pacquiao is the one that refused to sign and it was because a drug test came to light.
Mayweather Sr. said Pacquiao was on steroids in September, that's the defamation we're talking about here right? If that's the case why was the lawsuit not put into motion until the final stage of contract signage? He already knew Mayweather had people in his camp (Mayweather Sr.) that thought he was doing some kind of PED. So if Manny let it slide for three months without a peep of recourse UNTIL it's announced that they want extra drug testing........................

Ok, Pacquiao gave blood (apparently) 2 days before Morales I...and that was the last time he lost. I can see why he's not crazy about the idea of giving blood that close to a fight if the last time he did it was the last time he lost.
Or maybe he lost because he couldn't squeeze in a quick cycle of his precious steroids before the fight![]()
No one cared about Mayweather Sr's accusation in September, because he had no involvement with anything related to Pacquiao and no bases for the accusation. It was easily dismissed and irrelevant. But make those accusations again, when the spotlight in on Pacquiao and Mayweather, toss in some spineless accusations by DLH and a few cowardly boxers who are wearing their jealousy of Pacquiao on their arm, and quickly Pacquiaos achievements are cast into doubt.
And why? Because of stupid accusations with no basis.
Personally I don't think Pacquiao is using steroids. I think it's witchcraft. We'll have to burn him at the stake to find out. If he flys away on his broom, then he's a witch and guilty. If he burns to death, then he's not a witch, but at least he's proven innocent![]()
Let's flip the script here. Let's say for the sake of argument Roach said "Mayweather is on steroids", would it not be in Pacquiao's best interests to make sure that, it is NOT true to the best of ability? And if you could honestly say that with roles reversed you would support Mayweather's lawsuit INSTEAD of the fight without critique and suspicion? You couldn't because your damn sure right you'd be calling him out on it, and I would be right there with you.
No need for that nonsense, a simple battery of blood tests will definitively prove (at least to the best ability of current science) that he is clean, he still fights, still gets his 40 million+ payday, proves the Mayweathers wrong and clears his name. ALL FROM ONE SIMPLE SERIES OF TESTS, the same tests that are administered to 16 year old girls in the olympics.

see, theres some gray areas that some people dont know yet they still insist that they know inside out what the true issue is. manny never said he dont want to be tested. he just doesnt want to be tested so close to the fight. he is willing to be tested 30 days before and right after the fight. so do you think HGH or whatever it is wont be in his blood right after the fight? simple blood test? its random. that means they could also wake him up in the middle of the night or draw blood from him while he walks to the ring. whats so simple about that? try getting your blood drawn, even one veil and as soon as you're done get up and walk and lets see if you dont get dizzy.

"speed is the essence of war"
sun tzu-art of war
Manny, Roach, Arum all have said a lot of things. They had no less than 4 reasons of why they didn't want to take the drug test.
1. Superstition - whatever that means
2. Mental Weakness - really a top athlete at the top of a sport can't handle a drug test?
3. It would interupt the training schedule. - His training schedule is no more rigorous than that of olympic athletes and yet they can all handle it.
4. It gives control to team mayweather - who cares it's the last point of the negotiations
5. It's unprecidented, Manny has given blood randomly at least two times to my knowledge both times within 30 days of a fight.
6. He's going to court - this one is true.
