    How dose this translate into he dose not want to fight?
    Its more translates into
    just because their is a **** load of money on the table dose not mean that Mayweather is going to compromise his values and put my health in jeopardy no matter how small the risk may be for money.

    Dose he want the fight "Absolutely"
    Dose Manny have to agree to full random dung test you better believe it.

    Between this statement, his (baseless) insinuations that the USADA is not neutral, requesting an agency (WADA) that does not do testing to do the testing, those emails asking what would happen if Pac tested positive, the waffling on the various requested cutoff dates, and worrying about the fight being cancelled due to a missed test or a dirty test, it sure seems like Arum really worried about his fighter being able to pass them....

    You're completely missing the point. Let's say that Floyd and Manny were going to fight on March 1, and both would begin training on January 1. Tygart has said that he wouldn't be willing to test from January 1 - February 14. What ****ing difference does it make? There is obviously an agenda at play here. He would be totally fine with only testing from January 1 - March 1, leaving either fighter free to juice up on whatever the **** they wanted during the other 10 months of the year. That is when you would generally achieve greater benefit from PEDs, anyway.

    Not sure...... But PAC's NOT afraid of needles. He's never said he was. That was a story that Floyd's team made and ran with. The fact is and has always been that Manny doesn't like giving BLOOD. And there are a lot of folks out there that are the same. It's more mental than physical but like any phobia.....the physiological effects are far more severe than someone like me or you who don't have a phobia.

    Haging around a rapper that was shot 5 times, ride in a bulletproff car and still has hits out on him from a known drug lord is more dangerous to his heath than getting in the ring with an "asian midget" that's possibley on something for at least 75mil.

    Well...PAC never refused to take tests.. In fact his career has been made up of him taking tests without failing once. Not all phobia's are diagnosed...not all conditions are medically backed, but that doesn't mean the phobias or those suffering with medical conditions aren't suffering from the effects. PAC has ALWAYS claimed that he didn't like giving blood, that he felt it made him weak and was very superstitious. There's no reason not to take that in to account when he sticks to what he's said more than 5 yrs ago.

    And there is a phobia of having blood taken from the body.

    No im not missing the point - either you are or your trying to avoid the original post that you did - You stated floyd did not get tested during 16 months in between fights, and then trying to tie that into manny only having a 2 week window under a contract agreement( which is the same 2 weeks floyd would be subjected to) - apples and oranges sir.

    secondly for the point your trying to make now, Floyd is asking for equal testing so either the system gets revamped to where all boxers are tested year round usada style, or Manny and Floyd sign a longer contract to fightthat covers a timeline that both partys would deem fair (albeit a year,6 months, or 3 months which they did btw). Obviously the former would make more sense.

    You cant have it both ways - can't complain about floyd not being active enough and then ***** moan about how manny can't do the same because Arum and Co. is pimping him out

    :thumbsup As of now it's who likes who and who doesn't like who, as far as opinions go for who's fault it is and what's been agreed to.. Wait and see after both of them fight who makes what excuse...

    After the Clottey fight, they agreed to 14 days – something Mayweather was happy with prior. Unfortunately, Mayweather by then had lost patience and wanted the testing right up to the fight.

    As for why he [Pacquiao] has now conceded to be tested fully..... well, that’s what conceding is. Giving into the demands of something or someone. He’s probably not happy with it, but over time, bit by bit, he has reluctantly caved in. If he was ever presented with the choice of not taking tests to fight him, trust me, he’d take it.

    I was merely using that as an example that people react differently to different things. I don't know how blood drawing affects Manny, but I have a friend who passed out after having blood drawn in the doctors office. I personally, feel like the arm the blood was drawn from feels bruised (like it has been punched very hard) and feel slightly sick for the rest of the day. I also have friends who doesn't get affected by blood draws. So who knows. All I know is that in an interview 5 years BEFORE all this **** came about, Manny claimed he felt very weak in a fight with Erik Morales. He said he felt his punches were weaker than normal. And since that was BEFORE all this **** came about, I tend to believe him.

    Didn't Arum also asked Floyds team that if one side fails a drug test, they would have to pay 10 million dollars....and Floyd rejected it. :lol::lol::lol:

    Floyd Mayweather rejected $10 million drug penalty for Manny Pacquiao
