Pac having blood taken 20 days before the Clottey fight..

CFH is right. Why do people have to keep ressurecting this issue?

A thread is started based on a link that isn't even in the English language and posters come out here disparaging Manny. Do you people even understand what is being said or did you just made the comments based on the title?

They talked about the blood test being REQUIRED of all professional boxers, and about it being obvious that Manny is not comfortable with the test. Manny explained in there why it's hard to have blood test taken near the fight, that he need strength, that if blood is taken it will weaken him and that it will take him 3 - 4 days to recover. He said it's okey to undergo the blood test as long as it's not near the fight date.

So why did he not take the fight with Floyd??

These test don't test for PEDs and they're scheduled not random anyway. As far as getting blood goes I read that the Brazilian MMA champ Silva (?) gets a blood sample taken at the end of every sparring round when he's building up to a fight to check his lactic acid levels, which puts Pacneedle's refusal in perspective. And before all the testing thing blew up it would have been more like $60 million each, not $40 million. If they'd done 3 million PPVs at sixty dollars a pop that would have been $45 million each just from the PPV money without the gate, site fee, British PPV, foreign TV, sponsorship etc.

Manny looks a little bloated there there isn't the usual crazy definition in his midsection. As far as the blood test, nothing surprising everyone knew the excuses Roach gave were bullshit anyways. He was just protecting his fighter with that I don't think anybody believed it.

Maybe he thinks he needs PED's for Floyd but not Clottey

Just a theory and I don't even believe it myself. I don't think Pac really juices but I have to say some of his behaviour is quite strange.

not enough time to prepare for fight-Roach even came out and said that. Floyd presents a lot of problems 4 Manny; and he's not the typical slow, in your face, battle worn fighter that he's been feasting on since JMM 2. Counter punchers as skilled and as fast as Floyd clearly give MP trouble and Roach knows he needs more than 2 months.

Maybe, his mind is on the elections; needed a bit of time to rest from Cotto fight...waiting a bit may make the stakes bigger
