I couldn't follow the news lately and to tell you the truth I thought the fight was so logical for both men that it was impossible, in my eyes, that it couldn't happen. After reading couple of thread about the subject I am quite confused. Floyd wants Manny to take blood test before the fight to check if he is on roid ???
Basically all the top level fighters of his division think he could possibly be on something: Oscar De la Hoya Paulie Maggliani Shane Mosley PBF Miguel Cotto And want him to take a simple blood test to rule it out (maybe they know soemthing we dont). Given that Mosley is a proven abuser like they say it takes one to know one.
Let me summarize to you what had just happened. It all started way back when Pac fought Ricky who was trained by Mayweather Sr that time. MW Sr made fun of Pac during training sayin how one dimensional he was and that he doesn't even know how to punch. I guess you already knew what happened in the fight, MW Sr was so embarrassed that he even left ricky on the ring lying dead. After a deep pondering, to save face, MW Sr came up with the perfect excuse: Pac must be using ROIDS that's why he won so easily against his boy Ricky. Father got reunited with Jr and since the love for each other came back as well, thanks to the great acting by Sr in the Pac-Hatton 24/7, Jr felt he had to somehow help save his pa from total humiliation, he decided to support his pa's theory that Pac was indeed on ROIDS. Things just got so out of control that it backfired to the MWs, they just lost millions and probably more millions if Pac's lawyers are at least just average lawyers. So as you can see good or God always prevails against evil or the devil in the end. I hope you somehow got enlightened.
I do remember Sr saying that kind of stuff. Unbelievable. I think I got it all thanks to you. Now only one question comes to mind after reading some posts. If Pacquiao is beyond reproach, why does he take the hardest road involving lawyers and endless pursuits ? The easy way would have been to agreed to everything sh*t coming from the Mayweather clan and to wipe Money's ass at fight night.... Unless he is the kind of guy that back his words and protect his honor by all means and necessary.
Pacquiao once had to take a blood test 2 days before fighting Morales and felt it contributed to his loss. He actually agreed to blood testing for this fight, just not too close to the fight as he thinks it may weaken him. Team Mayweather had insisted that the blood testing protocol involve the possibility of blood tests up until the ring walk, and at any time of day (or night) during training.
i think it was forced upon him by GBP and floyds team by going through the media instead of negotiations. they have this hard-line stance of "non-negotiable USADA" before and made several press releases that tries to depict pac as a dug cheat by saying pac is refusing the drug test (which is not really true since pac wants blood test but not within days of the fight) and forcing pac into a trial by publicity.
You just hit the centre of the bullseye, Pac is indeed representing the whole Philippines and the word PRIDE is so important for people who are tired of being stepped on.
These guys are hardly credible. PBF, Mosley and DLH are involved in the Floyd-Pac fight and want to discredit Pac while Paulie is basically Floyd's buttbuddy. Cotto is oversensitive about the whole cheating thing after Margarito but I can't blame him. The **** the other guys are spewing on the other hand, especially Oscar, is just disgraceful.
