If it's true...if it's true, then yes, this sounds very, very bad for Pacquiao. I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt - I don't think he has used anything, but in this day and age, I wouldn't be surprised if any athlete comes up hot, or admits to using PEDs. But if it comes to light that Pac has used, I will be extremely disappointed, possibly even dejected.
Using your logic... You don't blow off a guaranteed 45 million dollars (win or lose) because of your insistence of a blood test, specially if you think it's an easy fight.
Ah ****. Very interesting turn events. While I always thought it would be a good fight between Pac and Mayweather, I always seen Mayweather winning because Pac aggressive style is tailor-made for Mayweather to win. With that being said I always gave Pac his props for the fights he has won and never thought he was on something even with Mayweather Sr. making allegations about it. But what caught me off guard was the fumbled excuses about why he can't take drug tests coupled with bull**** defamation lawsuits and it brought a cloud of doubt around Pac for me. With Atlas going public with this statement on not only national TV but ESPN nonetheless is very intriguing and I think Pac has kind of ****ed himself up allowing his promoter and trainer to double back on things that have been said. Will be very interesting to see how this unfolds. If these e-mail exist, which I'm sure they must then that defamation lawsuit is over before it even starts just on the basis of asking such question before testing.
And will Pacquiao sue? He is talking lawsuit with only Mayweather and GBP, but others are saying things. This was on national TV. Wouldn't he sue Atlas now too, or Smith? He didn't talk lawsuit when Malignaggi and Cintron said something.
I wonder... will this fight still happen? like i said before... the puplicity on this has been off the chart... **** even my 70 year old mother asked about them... plus she wanted to know how to pronounce the "Chinese guys name" Maybe this is EXACTLY what they wanted:huh
Atlas is not THAT dumb. He been around the game a long time and I think he may of seen something or heard something that made him truly believe Manny may be outed as a steroid user sometime in the future possibly. It seems like nobody gives a **** about his bull**** lawsuites. Where there is ****ing smoke..
I've stayed out of these threads except to poke holes in peoples obviously flawed logic. I could have gotten my post count up over 10K if I had been more involved. Basically there are three groups. One has sided with Floyd. One has sided with Pac. The rest of us enjoy poking fun at the two groups. Some of the crap that has passed for logic and proof is the funniest stuff on the planet. Considering Teddy's expertise is in the fight game and his record picking fights, the Floyd huggers should be grimacing in pain right now and the Pac huggers should be rejoicing. How often is he right? :rofl
It's Freddie Roach! He looks really down in the dumps and worn from all these crazy negotiations. Was that Pac's advisor with the camera? What's his name... Uba, Juba? lol.
