Manny Pacquiao is scared of needles...

Getting blood take is unpleasant but its no big deal. I usually puke after having blood drawn but for the kind of money at stake here, professional pride and the chance to put all the arguments to bed I'd have no problem with any of this if I was PacMan

 

The fight is off because Floyd is asking for the rules to be changed, rules that have been set in stone for many years.

I really don't understand how you can be a mod and create such immature threads.

 

Indeed.:roll:

 

I'm being ridiculous? Coming from the 'mod' who thinks posting pictures of Pac having a tattoo done proves he isn't scared of needles. The issue has been with drawing blood anyway, but I think you know this.

As I said earlier, we're all upset the fight's off, but let's not go pretending Pac owes us a battery of unwarrented tests.

 

The likes of dan-b cannot come to terms with the simple facts presented to them. It makes me wonder about peoples common sense.

Its a blood test Not a request to take his head off his shoulders

A disgrace from the Pacman camp

 

What simple facts? What are you talking about, Mr Angry?

 

I posted the pic not him.

Anyway, there is zero reason PacMan should refuse the tests unless he's a hemophiliac, and hes not.

A battery of unwanted tests is stretching it a bit. They draw a little blood, it takes 20 seconds, and then the tests are done in a lab. Its not like are going to strap him to a table and do experiments on him ffs.

 

Can you not see this has become a point of principle now? If it was the other way around do you think Mayweather would be saying "Yes, Mr Pacquiao, I will do everything you say"?

 

I can see why boxers like to one up each other and try and **** about with the contracts but its all eyes on PacMan now and if he really thinks he can do a number on Mayweather then take the tests, trade it off for something else in the contract. If PacMan goes in doing the tests he can say 'I was clean I told you so' and if he does a job on Mayweather, like he thinks he can, then he comes up smelling of roses.

 

The Mayweathers should STFU and get on with the fight.

 

But why should he have to? The only answer people seem to be able to give me is that he should do it because Mayweather has said so. I'm not convinced Mayweather is confident he can win this fight, I think that's what this boils down to.

 

Do you think they really want the fight? They should STFU though, hopefully this lawsuit will ensure they refrain from any further baseless comments. They need to learn this isn't the street corner and can't just 'holla' abuse at people unabated.

 

They all just need to shut the **** up and fight.

Mayweather with his demands - even though IMO they should be the rules - and Pacquiao with the lawsuits and such.

The last thing boxing needs right now is another Leonard/Hagler type situation - at least back in the early/mid 80's there were other fights for the public to get into...... this is a lifeline for the sport and for it not to happen would be a travesty.

In terms of non-heavyweight fights since that time, I can't think of a bigger one that hasn't actually occured.
