I think Carolla was aiming for "offensive humor" with that piece. I mean, he was on "Drawn Together" for one. But yes, I think most people overrate just how much adoration Manny really gets in the Philippines and with the Fil-Am community. It really isn't any more than someone cheering for the local sports teams and buying their merchandise.
I have no problem about him talking about the blood testing stuff and making fun of Pacquiao and all that stuff. He should just have left all the people of the Philippines alone who are just doing their own thing and not bothering him personally, and stop talking about things that he really knows nothing about.
Pac stopping a country when he fights is no different than Joe Louis once stopping America when he fought. It just so happens boxing is a lot bigger in the philippines than it is in America. Very ignorant statements by this Corrola guy. What does sex tours have to do with a country that isnt even known for that? Also he states that Pac is 5'6, 147lbs as if those stats are not qualified for running a country, ignoring the fact that the current philippine president is 5ft little woman.
your analogy is ******ed, here is one that makes sense: Lets say you go for a job interview, the company says your salary will be $300K per year, you will have a $5K yearly personal credit line paid for by the company and a company car and full health and dental benefits. But, you will be on a six week probation period and during that time we will need to have random drug testing. You want to know what would be every person's alive impression of you if you broke and ran from that because of the random drug testing?
Why is Floyd the "company"? The State Commission would be the "company" doing the hiring. Floyd is no more of an employee than Manny. That isn't a good analogy either. Bull****. Most people with pride would tell him to **** off. He has no right to search his house.
In your scenario, The company makes the rules. Nsac makes the rules. Mayweather does not make the rules.
In the words of some of these joyboys "Why even bother bro?". I mean, you got pimpc who basically said that if some fool came to his house to accuse him of being a dealer, he would let that fool search his house as long as he got to do the same............. Amazing. For the record, I do believe Pac should have taken the tests but not for the same reasons as these fools. I can't be mad at him for refusing but I hope he changes his mind and does it.
Yeah, if the custom at the airport think you have drugs up your ass, they can search you as long as you can search them aswell. Now floyd is the company employing pac? Pac hasnt refused drug testing from the commision (in your example this is the company) so what make you think hes on drugs?
At the end of the day we're talking about a simple blood test here. Carolla is just saying what most rational people think. If you have nothing to hide you take a random drug test otherwise you look like you have something to hide and leave yourself open to speculation.:deal That's the reality of the world we live in today, especially in the steroid era deal with it.:hi:
