Manny Pacquiao undergoes physical exam - Video - GMANews.TV - Official Website of GMA News and Public Affairs - Latest Philippine News

WTF??

Pac has blood taken 20 days out which also says it tests for PED'S?? But won't 14 days out?? Pac stated that he wanted a 24 day cut off or the blood test makes him weak hahaha but has one 20 days out before his next fight, now I have supported Pac in recent times over this Floyd fight but this is a joke.

Manny is a puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuussy

Im pretty sure manny was more open minded to this because Clottey didn't come out accusing him of being juiced from the start. But who knows...Maybe manny did just puss out on floyd.

It was the "Mayweather" aspect that really soured the taste in the PAC Camp. There were a lot of different reasons floating around on why PAC wouldn't take the tests, but i think it really boils down to one.. The Mayweather camp. EGO(Camp) VS EGO(Camp)

MONEY HAS NO BEARING ON THE FIGHTS DRUG TESTING DECISIONS!!!

I'm so sick of hearing, "if it were me and there was 40 million dollars on the table i would sell my soul to get the fight" (exaggerating of course).

If you are already a multi-millionaire and you can get millions using multiple different avenues, does a "big money" fight matter nearly as much to you as it does to an up and coming fighter or a fighter who hasn't had his big break, let alone a poster on a freaking boxing forum. I highly doubt it...

Who gives a sh!t about a 40 Million dollar payday when you don't need the money?!?!

I think this is a very good post.

I still sit quietly and hope the fight does happen though... I would feel like i missed out on something special in my lifetime no matter what the outcome...

Maybe that is the core reason why some people on here are so bitter about these two fighters, whether you blame one or the other is irrelevant. True boxing fans come off feeling a bit short changed... But the flip side to that is a year or two ago no one ever thought these two would've fought in the first place. So i'm trying to hold onto no harm no foul, but its not easy...

This really shows that Pac never wanted the fight with Floyd. I hope it will happen, but i highly doubt it.

What a load of bullshit, sorry I have been in Pac's corner for this for most part, but this takes the piss, he has blatantly LIED.

He and his team proclaimed that he needed 24 days minimum to recover from a blood test or it would weaken him, now he has his blood taken 20 days prior to his fight with Clottey.

Who gives a fuck about ego's?? This is the biggest fight in the last 20 years or so, end of the day Pac made his own rules up with the weight issue and the compensation if weight wasn't made, and Floyd wanted random drug testing. Now Pac came back with a compromise which I thought was fair enough and some of the excuses was him feeling weak etc etc so soon to the fight, but this has just shown him up big time.

Exactly, Manny is full of shit.

He's making a song and dance, "ooh look at me I am being tested 20 days out see!". It means nothing, testing needs to be random or nothing. Seems like a bullshit PR move to me, but we can all see through it. He won't fight Mayweather because of random testing, so being checked 20 days out against Clottey has little relevance.

Anyone making excuses for Manny is deluded IMO, all this talk of ego and not being dictated to are really lame excuses, as were the excuses about being afraid of blood tests. Manny's stock has fallen horribly and I just have to laugh when I hear the guy mentioned in threads like this because it is all so pathetic and lame.

Miles, I keep hearing you say Manny has come out looking bad and his stock has fallen but I really don't see that.

Everywhere you turn, you see Manny being given the bye and Floyd being blamed for not wanting the fight/being too big for his boots with his demands/being a pussy etc etc.

Youtube (lowest common denominator, I know) is the best example but even my casual boxing friends all think Floyd pussied the fight. I'm shocked that Manny has come out of this smelling of roses and people are willing to let him off the hook for refusing to prove he's a clean athlete and, perhaps even more importantly, create the biggest fight in boxing history for the fans.
