Teddy never saw the email and I believe his 'source' probably hasn't either. The email doesn't exist. Pacquiao's law team would have to be absolute amateurs to pull a stunt like that. And, if it truly does exist, why hasn't it been revealed?
This is supposed to be one of the biggest fights in boxing history. So why wouldn't Mayweather want additional testing? The stakes are very high so the testing standards should be very high. As you don't know what a fighter will do in order to win this legacy fight. Why wouldn't Manny want additional testing to ensure that Mayweather doesn't cheat for one of the biggest fights in boxing history?
No... actually Manny went above and beyond, in my honest opinion. The man could have easily told Floyd to go **** himself for the level of disrespect and insult that the Mayweathers tossed his way by demanding this insane **** to begin with. Rather than do that, which was well within his rights... he agreed to 3 blood tests and **** tests every day! If that isn't enough to get your opponent in the ring... then obviously your opponent simply doesn't want to fight. Simple as that. BTW, 14 days is NOT fine. Manny and company have made it pretty damn clear that whether it is mentally or physically... he doesn't feel very good or at his best for about 4 days after he gets blood taken. So... if you took it 14 days out from a fight... then you are basically ruining the finishing stages of Pac's preparation and training for this fight. How is that ok? It would then force Pac to finish the most intense and important part of his training at a time when he is not feeling at his best... which in turn will not have him peak at the proper time in camp. So... Manny finishes the most important part of his training at less than his best... and enters into the cooling/winding down faze of his camp have just had a bad end to his training camp. Explain to me how that is ok? Explain to me why Pac should be forced to come into this fight without feeling 100%, and with a huge mental disadvantage? This is the ONLY reason that Floyd wanted this bull**** in the first place, to **** with Pac's head so he feels like he can have a mental advantage. If Floyd doesn't feel like he has an advantage over his opponent... he won't fight them. People act like this is normal **** or something. Just because the Mayweathers ran their mouths about stupid **** and disrespected Pac... people act like Pac should have not only given in as far as he did (which he didn't have to do)... but also give in even further, ruin his training camp and mentality... all because Floyd's dad talked **** after the Cotto fight. That is absolutely ****ing absurd.
Maybe because PBF still wants the fight to happen and Pac doesn't. If he goes public with this it will pretty much seal any hope of a fight ever coming off.
"sources have told me 'that through an email'" 9:05 yes, because statements like this must mean they are true.
They believe Floyd sr. for heaven sakes. Atlas must seem like Abe Lincoln/Al Einstein in comparison. Anyway it seems that Floyd jr. defenders aren't very educated and so are the accusers.
If it exists, it will come out. At this point it is part of a lawsuit. Even if it existed I don't think lawyers using it to their advantage would publish it. If Manny's lawyers wrote it they wouldn't mention it. Doesn't help them at all. If "The Parties" lawyers had it they wouldn't mention it. To the public, it would look fake and get lost in the information storm unless they presented it in a court of law.
I got one question for you! I've highlighted what I've got to ask you...This is all opinion by the way so why are you constanly looking at it from one side...You say that Manny has a right to not take the test, but from a flip side, who are you or anybody else to deny Floyd the right to ask for more stern test? Mind games or not...a fighter has every right to make sure that he's in a fair fight with the man he's facing. How do you know all of this stuff about Manny anyways...its like you're believing every little thinkg that comes from Manny, I for one dont think he's doping but why not take the test to clear your name...This is the same exact test Floyd will be taking...Given on how Manny and his team have made several contradiction with their statement, why are selectively believeing what you want to better your arguement? Didnt they say they would be fine with the test as long as it isnt a 2-3 days before the fight now they've changed their tune...Hell, even the mediatior have said for the record that Arum wasnt truthful about the whole meeting.
I am not too sure either way. It will play itself out. Boxing has the weirdest media of any "pro" activity on the planet. Lies, rumors, and opinions presented as facts are par for the course and I have yet to see a boxing scribe be put on the unemployment line for on vetting sources.
It doesnt matter what i side i favor, answer this: Why can the pacman give blood two weeks before the Hatton fight but will walk away from 30 mil because of some blood within 14 days? Why not clear your name? Why deprive all of the fans of the fight of their life because of a demand of strict drug screening?
When you put it like that... I dont know. Why didn't Floyd back down - why not just accept the same drug testing producedure used in most fights now days - why insist on something extra to the point that you walk away from a 30mil fight. **** knows - neither fighter wanted it enough.
