Some think Pac will be some how black balled if the fight falls through. In reality there are so many thirsty a$$ fighters who would give 2 sh!ts about a blood test and would sell their souls for a Manny Pacquiao fight
Guys like
Top GBP fighters such as Marquez and Mosley
Margarito
Bradley
Malignaggi
Judah
Williams
Alexander
Basically any top fighter from 135-154 wouldn't even consider forcing manny to take a blood test, so if the fight falls through Manny has plenty of options. No other fighter or promotor would ask this of Manny.
I think it's being bullied and disrespected by mayweather that's the problem.
This is EXACTLY right!
What is PBF's next set of demands...Pac will be DQ'd for throwing straight lefts, DQ'd for throwing right hooks, DQ'd for throwing 4 or more punch combinations, AND the "kicker", during the "stare-down" before the bell for the first round, the ringside physician will need to take a blood sample from Pac & make him piss into a cup for drug testing purposes?
The claims made by Floyd Sr. have tarnished what is an "All-Time Great" career. I still do not understand why Floyd Sr. has not been legally reprimanded (i.e. libel for public defamation in the press) for these public statements without any solid proof.
These demands should be viewed by the "purists" of the sport as a way for PBF to yet again avoid another "game" fighter that is hitting his PRIME and PBF's desire to remain undefeated so as to make a claim that he should be considered GOAT...But just look at this resume...
My feelings of why suddenly PBF chose to get the services of GBP...He wants to get an advantage with the judges who are known to be GBP "scape-goats" (i.e. Caiz, Sr. & Co.) during fight night...He believes that he can take Pac the distance and wants the GBP influence on this side...As he said after the DLH fight, that the reason why DLH got a scorecard go his way, is because of GBP's influence...and I thought PBF is his own promoter/his own boss?! PBF is a man of contradiction!
But yet again, I digress....
You wait and see what any loosing fighter says after a fight with an untested Pac ,,,, lol you guys dont look at all the angles ,,, Manny is in deep water here with one way out , which is what he will do take the tests and clear his name , he has no choice , the Floyd fight will go on .
pac is tested every fight.
if they want a blood test , they can come to a compromise.
none of them would demand the kind of tests floyd wanted.
i'm sure the counter offer for blood tests arum/roach proposed would suffice with most guys.
I agree but I was told that GBP has rights on all there fighters. And, they can turn down any fight that they don't want. So if you are a GBP fighter like Marquez there is chance you might not get the Pac fight even if you don't care about the blood test. If GBP are true to there word then they can turn it down. However maybe Marquez or a GBP fighter can take GBP to court. And, settle it there.
Mosley is a different story though. He says he is not under contract as a fighter with GBP. He is only part owner of the company. So he can fight Pac without the blood test. And, Schafer can't do nothing about it.
But, Pac will not be blacked ball at all. By other fighters. I said this 3 days ago. I guess we do think alike...
if pac agrees to fight guys like marquez and mosley and gbp blocks it....... that would not be good for gbp.
If he fights Paulie.
Hes going to say something if he loses.
Just give him about 3 months, because that's how long it will take Malignaggi to wake up from his coma after they meet in the ring.
Gary Shaw / Bradley already expressed blood tests as a condition for a fight with Manny
that's fine.
team pac agreed to random bloodtesting. they just had a problem with the kind floyd wanted.
2-3 random blood tests during training camp and 1 right after the fight should be enough for most people even though it wasn't enough for mayweather.
Honestly I think the biggest L pac can give FLoyd is by saying Fvck him and fighting the guys he didnt wanna face when he was the top guy at WW.
If Pac faced Judah in March, Shane in the Fall, and Margarito in 2011, then Floyd would really look bad in the end because that would mean Pac faced all the guys people say Floyd ducked through his career at WW.
Just imagine Pac beating Cotto, Margarito, Mosley and Bradley...that alone would make Floyd look really bad (In the eyes of his critics).
Not only if he did all that. And, then also like Eric and 2npac said it would be way better if he did the olympic style drug testing with it.
If he did that I think that would piss Floyd off.
If he fights Paulie.
Hes going to say something if he loses.
That is cuz Paulie talks shit all time. He always has an excuse. But, really he won't have a leg to stand on. Cuz he will be look as fake.
How you going to be one of the first to say something about it. And, then change your mind about the whole thing weeks later?
Nobody will be paying attention to that guy.

What did fighters say after loosing to Mosley? or loosing to Holyfield? Or loosing to Jones? They really said nothing. Is a hot topic right now. But, you have to understand people will forget about it later.

Gary Shaw is Bradley co-promoter. Bradley does not care about the blood test. I have to Alex Camponovo and he does not care about the blood test. And, Alex is the matchmaker for Thompson boxing promotions. Who is the other co-promoter of Bradley. So if they don't care Shaw really has no choice but to do it. And, also Bradley manager is Cameron Dunkin who has some kind of bad blood with Gary Shaw. And, Dunkin is cool with Arum. If Shaw does anything that will prevent that fight. Dunkin will take Bradley away from him like he did with Donaire, Kirkland and others.

WIth that said I still think he should take the test only if its a cut off window of 3-5 days before the fight. I mean who would want to be harassed by the USADA leading up to the biggest fight of your career? I don't blame team Pacquiao one bit for not wanting the USADA to do it and wanting to go with someone else.
