I don't doubt Pac's innocence at all. I also don't doubt this is just a promotional stunt coordinated by both Arum and Schafer, probably with the semi-reluctant approval by Pac for this strategy of cheap (or even free), yet super-effective fight exposure. ESPN is eating this story like it's potato chips, giving this "story" some major face time on Mike and Mike, At the Helm, SportsCenter, etc.
cuz it shows that everything isn't just "rumors"...it proves that it is Manny's team that is switching it up...THIS ISN'T AN OUTSIDE SOURCE..THIS IS ROACH WHO IS PART OF TEAM PAC GIVING THE INFORMATION WHICH WAS WRONG AND MISLEADING TO TEAM MAYWEATHER..WHY WOULD FREDDIE SAY THAT THAN BACK OUT?:huh... first Roach says they'll do any drug test than he changes it... than roach says no drug test 30 days or less as pac is scared of needles etc.......than we see a video of pac gettin blood drawn like its nothing.. EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE
Anyone looking at this unbiasedly and objectively would have to of started to at least question the rationale behind mannys actions. For those who wish to argue the merit behind the accusations and unprecedent nature of the stipulation please realize that change is inevitable and with the advancement in doping there is a need for advancement in testing. No one tested positive in baseball for hgh or steroids until they changed the testing policies. You would be a fool to think that was because players weren't doping. I for one as an interested observer have begun to doubt the truthfulness behind mannys reasoning. While I still feel/want him to be clean as it would destroy the sport in the main stream I have found myself becoming increasingly suspicious the longer this plays out. When there is a clear way to prove something and you can't/don't provide it I tend to believe you can't. Inthis case there is a clear out for manny and he isn't taking it. That alone is enough to question the rationale let alone the lame excuses that followed. I can say I am disappointed in how he is handling this clean or not he is dong everything he can to look guilty.
I dont believe he is on anything and I don't believe the rumors that Floyd Sr started...I get my information based on the fact that Pac's story keeps changing and for the simple fact that he is refusing "random" blood tests.... a random blood test would take 4 minutes or less...sit down, make a fist, the medical personel will take the blood, than its over:hi:
We aren't the people keepin it goin Croc..that would be the media...AS FANS, WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO KEEP IT GOIN... UR right though..juss cuz Floyd Sr says it don't mean it is true...THE FACT THAT HE IS REFUSING 40 MILLION FOR A SIMPLE 4 MINUTE BLOOD TEST OR 2 IS WHAT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE HE IS HIDING SOMETHING
uh, PBF came in 2lbs over one time against JMM at a catch weight of 145. However, it was stipulated in an amended contract that he could come in at 147 and pay $300k per lb. The fight wouldn't be called off even IF pbf came in overweight this time. They would make it a non title fight and Manny would collect his $. If pac has no history of steriods, then why shy away from additional testing? Barry bonds has NEVER tested positive for anything, but he gets the stigma of a walking talking steroid.. Makes no sense to me following your logic.
Only to a *******! Not too many people were paying attention to the rumours started by a "crackhead" but in light of Pac's actions and reactions to these rumours some sane people have started to wonder if Pac maybe does have something to hide!
I have my doubts, but then again, I always question how "clean" athletes are in this day and age. Especially in boxing, it's not as if the testing is especially strict.
i think floyd fans doesn't want to hear this. all they are crying is blood or pacquiao is guilty. schaefer should be at least requesting the NSAC now, but no, he is contented the way it is done via media.
of course, that's why we are all disgusted when floyd weighed 2 pounds heavier than the agreed weight against jmm.
