At this point it's not about the money, its not about something as minor as the glove ... It's as simple as drug testing, if Pacquiao had the knowledge of being aware of world class amateur boxing, he would have knowledge of Olympic style drug testing. He's a professional and it's alot of money on the line, he's a world class fighter, and future hall of famer, and he's seen just about everything there is to see on the highest level of professional world class boxing ... this should be a situation that he can will himself through. I think that Roach and TopRank are stalling and don't really want the fight ...
Pac will accept the fight ... the public is demanding it ... it's been on ESPN everyday for the last 3 weeks. It seems to me a slick way of promoting the fight in enough time to set up the fight.
i honestly don't think they'll either have time to properly prepare at this point. also, they've turned off a shitload of fans with this
its over man...pac didn't want it and that is that...he can fight clottey and retire cuz the sport dont need dirty fighters nor fighters who dont wanna take simple random blood tests to test for PED's
This isn't a conspiracy theory ... they only have "X" amount of time to get the fight on route for the anticipated date ... why not go through some drama to make up for the lack of promotion time. Pacquiao will fight ... if you guys don't remember DLH used to do that ... he did it with Trinidad, Floyd, Pacquiao, and Hopkins ... for the amount of money involved, I can't image that Pacquiao couldn't will himself to take those tests. We don't see what these guys are doing either, its mainly quotes on cites and on mainstream sports networks. They could already be in training for the fight, I know that both of these guys are in great shape, it turns serious when you hear of sparring. Pacquiao isn't going to fight Clottey, that's ridiculous - why turn down a guarantee of 25mil ... and fight for 2/3 less? ...
or fighters that hop across divisions, fighting and knocking out the best. **** yeah, pac is a *****:good
Easy to do when you are off your gord on performace enhancing drugs my friend. Manny's attitude since before the Cotto fight has either been massive arrogance or a side effect of the drugs - roid rage anyone?
you're gonna call roid rage based on nothing at all? this is really becoming a fan boy divide. you don't have to side with mayweather on every front. you can say "manny should have taken the tests (even though there was no reason for him to) but floyd was being a ***** in pushing it for no reason and it looked like he was ducking the fight". simple not everything floyd did was right, not every manny did was wrong.
