    Does he ever speak for himself instead of always saying "talk to my promoter"? I mean he himself could clear up any speculation in regards to what "his" stance is on the blood testing issue. Freddie Roach says one thing, and then Bob Arum says another.

    One day it's: Manny has agreed to the 14 day cut off that they originally disagreed with even after 9 hours of mediation.

    The another day it's: Manny has agreed to a 7 day cut off.

    Then it's: Manny has agreed to full random testing with no cut off.

    It would be good for once to hear it from the horses mouth instead of the horses ass.

    Can anyone Larry Merchant, Max Kellerman, ask Manny what his stance is on the blood testing issue? Is it 30, 24, 14, 7, days that he's willing agree to? Is it full random testing without a cut off date?

    It would be nice to hear from Manny for a change!

    I wish they can just do it up to the day of the fight like mosley did

    His job is to fight so he doesnt really need to talk. Other fighters talk a lot but do little fighting.

    With regards to the test...OLD NEWS. PAC himself has given several interviews stating he accepted and agreed to ALL the tests Floyd wanted but of coures FLoyd came up with anther excuse NOT to fight. PAC went as far as to say "up to the day of the fight or even inbetween rounds". LOL.

    With regards to who he fights....PAC is like Floyd in that respect....they always say leave it up to their team to handle that aspect of business. Fighters usually FIGHT where promoters and managers solidify the opponents. They set'em up.....Fighters knock'em down.:bbb

    If you havn't heard from Manny it's b/c you havn't looked very hard. Google should help!:good

    That's what this forum is for.... I've been on youtube and google.... and I've only seen/heard Manny talk about how weak the blood test made him before he fought Morales.

    Since you're so good at browsing the web why don't you provide useful links that could answer my question.

    We have yet to hear from Manny "himself", what he's willing to agree to in regards the the testing.

    I think Top Rank tells him what to say especially on post fight interviews because it is in the best interests of the fighter and the promoting team. After an exciting victory a fighter may just say something they really don't mean with all the adrenaline flowing. Floyd has called out Pac on this issue but in reality does it himself.

    If Pac was just allowed to run his mouth freely, I'm sure he'd have a video like the one above and just look as dumb.

    Once in a while though, Pac will speak out on his own when his team is not with him.

    Hello, hello, can anyone provide a link/youtube clip to where Manny answered the question himself in regards to what he's willing to agree to?

    He said in an interview he'd take them anytime...and to make a point, even during the fight (which we know isn't feasable, but it was to make a point).

    In regards to the drug testing issue, I remember Pac writing a newsletter in Filipino that drug testing issue has been resolved but with no details.

    From what I understand,
    This content is protected
    as well maybe in that same hate filled video he made on Ustream. I have not heard Floyd change on that issue since.

    Serious answer: Manny never said "speak to my promoter" regarding his stance on blood testing. Manny doesn't want to be blood tested close to a fight. He wants to go by the commission rules but he is willing to compromise.

    Manny only says "speak to my promoter" regarding future opponents. The way he sees it, it's Arum's job to set up the best and most lucrative fights for Pac, and Pac's job is to train and fight.
