    ...BUT if it wasn't for all the tats it would be believable.

    Thanks to Mandanda we can also see his reaction to taking blood.

    They are stick on. If you look carefully they peel off a little when he sweats.

    Terrified of them by the look of it. The sheer terror and panic on his face tells you everything you need to know about PacMans needle phobia

    Ive got a needle phobia aswell when i was getting a blood test i had my blood pressure taken before it and it was through the roof and had to get a 24hour monitor on and it was fine the rest of the day i dont mind injections or tattoos but the thought of sticking an needle direcly into the vein is bad enough never mind numerous times before a fight.

    Still much more relaxing an easier than a needle directly in the vein.

    I think i could be swayed by that though.








    But Mayweather dosent want any of Pacman.

    Stupid thread. I think most of the anitpathy toward Pac has more to do with people being upset the big fight is off, as opposed to thinking what Floyd's requested is just.

    There's a video of him on 24/7 getting his blood taken. He has sunglasses on but he's not going mad or cringing just sitting there cool. So i don't think he's that bad as there making out.

    The fight is off because of 2 reasons - Pac is scared of needles and Roach says taking blood the week before the fight will affect his fighters mindset.

    You'd suspect if he was slightly scared of needles that he wouldn't look so comfortable getting the tat done. At least Palomino agrees with me.

    Why would anyone care that Floyd wants the strictest drug testing possible. Surely that is better for everyone.

    I can't fathom how people are having a go at Floyd on this one. I'm not particularly fond of the man but all hes asking for is the strictest way of ensuring that the fight is totally on the level.

    Probably a fair enough way to sum the situation up - i think Pac is just causing fuss here to get something else down the line for agreeing to it, justa negotiation tactic
