    Wow, they want Berto/Mosley winner after Clottey. Pac camp is not playing.

    I hope Floyd tries to clinch this fight just before Clottey is signed...Roach seems to want the fight. As he said, the terms wont be any different later than now, so why not let it happen now...If Floyd waits, posibility Pac looses to Clottey and he misses out on 40mil. He wont make 40mil fighting M.Hatton...

    Why is Roach still talking about three days? It's 14 days.

    I think he means it weakens Pac for about 3 days, so 14 days before the fight it could affect his training.

    Its BS IMO. I hate blood tests, I personally nearly feinted after doing one and my body had a funny reaction to it actually going stiff for a few min but that was it. Fair enough hes competing on a pro sport at a world level but I doubt the effect is anything significant over 3 days...and with 14 days to go it should be fine.

    Clottey in March, Shane Mosley in late July, and then rubber match with Juan Manuel Marquez to close out the year. That would do a lot to erase the collapse of the Floyd fight.

    Roach seems pretty calm about this.

    They have options, things to do, and Pac is still on top.

    Its the Mayweathers who look like **** in all of this, and need Pacquiao.

    The ending of that interview was great. :yep

    Because any days leading up to the fight will be crucial.

    If Manny goes on to fight Clottey and then Mosley/Berto winner, it will be a big statement because Floyd don't really have anyone else.

    But it disrupts training. It is like having a flu weeks prior to training, you can't perform at your highest level during the training.

    People will say it is just training, what's the big deal! Training is harder sometimes than the actual fight because you keep up for unlimited number of rounds, plus spar. The training for Hatton was way harder than the actual fight.

    Why JMM? At this stage of JMM's career (38 years old), there is nothing left in the tank. He even struggled against Juan Diaz at 135, and I don't think Pac canb fight at 135 anymore.

    Ye but for athletes reffered to as "warriors" and fights on whilst covered with their own blood during a fight from a cut, hard to believe a teaspoon of blood from a needle can affect them that much taken 14 days before the fight.

    I think Pac is just pissed off Floyd is trying to take the ****.

    Bleeding in the middle of a fight is not the same as in training. That's like asking someone to take a break from hard full training for 4 days two weeks before a fight or twisting his elbow hoping it heals in time.

    I love Manny and Roach, but this all sounds like bull****. If they just said, we'll go by the rules of Nevada, not be dictated to by a fighter, it would sound better. What's to stop the next person Manny fights and beats from saying, of course he won, he cheated.

    **** that I was a soldier and gave lots of blood on the same day and went and fought the Insurgents the same day. Pac man is using something and Floyd used it to his advantage, 2 grown ass men scared to fight one another is all it is.
