Ok so Arum, Pacquiao, Roach, and the rest of his team all complain about taking the blood test. First Arum says Pacquiao has a "needle phobia". Everyone knew that was BS cause he has a few tats. Then they claim he's superstitious about taking blood 30 days before a fight when he was on HBO 24 days before the fight getting blood drawn. He's a Hypocrite. He forced Cotto to come down to 145lbs. Then Cotto gets forced to defend his 147lb WELTERWEIGHT Title even though they won't let Cotto come in at the 147lb WELTERWEIGHT limit in which he won the title. Now they put some ridiculous thing in the contract about Mayweather having to pay 10 million for every pound he comes over the 147lb weight limit. Mayweather agrees (Which they thought he NEVER would agree to). Now their reason for not wanting to take the blood test is because they claim Mayweather cant make up his own rules and he's not the Nevada Commission. Roach and Pac can make up their own rules when its good for them but when the shoe is on the other foot they dont like it.. HYPOCRITES
Get your facts straight. 145 was what Cottos team wanted. Don't start with this weight-drained bs again. Cotto said he never felt better. Who r u to say he wasn't feeling good. Who's makin up rules? Catchweights have been around for a while now. Mf'ers acting like Manny the only one doing it. Anytime you have a smaller guy vs a bigger guy, you have catchweights (ie Mayweather-Marquez).
Cotto wanted it at 147. Nice try.
....cotto makes fights happen even if he has to give in to outrageous demands and never make up an excuse as to why he lost..manny could learn alot from him ....
Weight negotiations are nothing new in boxing.
It's unbelievable how FM fans would go as far as saying, "...manny could learn a lot from him." Lol. Are you f*** serious? You actually think if you're at that shining stage in your career you'd let others with lesser shine dictate how the fight would go? No perks, no special privileges, or anything of that sort? Well, wtf is the sense of becoming champion if that is the case?
These folks are what I call non-rehabilitateable. It's no sense arguing with them. They just naturally don't have any respect for the guy who just won the biggest fights in his career in impressive wins. This is beyond the testing issue. And now they want the Pac to bow down to the dictates of their great master Floyd on his ridiculous unprecedented demands that hasn't been seen in boxing history.
Simply amazing.
LOL. Why would a grown man but something his body and not know what it is? That was the dumbest comment.
man I am an athlete and that comment just blew my mind. I couldn't believe it.
Very true. Roach wants it all his own way. Demands things of other fighters but wont concede anything.
yea...only certain ppl don't seem to see it this way. :loser:
'Manny has no idea what he takes"
Ariza.
LMFAO
LOL. Why would a grown man but something his body and not know what it is? That was the dumbest comment.
worrrrrd bro.. i got pissed when freddie said floyd aint no commision to say wats wat... but then he can do catch weights with a welter weight belt !?!? fockouttahere..
'Manny has no idea what he takes"
Ariza.
LMFAO You think Manny has asked Ariza what he's giving him yet? If so, that means Manny lied when he said that he wasnt on anything. Its like saying I dont eat eggs, but Ive never seen an egg

145 is what cotto's team wanted ????? r u serious pac wanted cotto at 142 lbs. 145 was the agreement made by cotto's team to make the fight happen if you would of gave him the choice i am sure he would of rather come in at the weight in which he won the belt 147.....also cotto saying he never felt better of course he is going to say that what did you expect him to say ? i feel like shit i am going to get my ass kicked.....cotto makes fights happen even if he has to give in to outrageous demands and never make up an excuse as to why he lost..manny could learn alot from him ....
What do you mean Cotto agreeing...Cotto wanted it at 145.
No Cotto didnt want it at 145. He AGREED. They wanted him lower then even 145 but he said 145 is the lowest he can safely come down in weight.
Why cant Pac Fans just agree that better drug testing would be good for the sport. Two Clean athletes on March 13 is a great idea is it not?
And obviously Manny doesnt care either being that he's making such a big deal about it.. If you're clean then take the test whats the problem right?
I'm just sayin, whats the point of posting something thats been talked about 10000 times?
Arum did not say Pacman is scared of needles, Michael Konz did, that stupid dum ass adviser of Pacman.
Arum said Pacman is superstitious because of how he got screwed over before Morales I
As far as Cotto's title, I agree it should have taken place at 147, but Cotto agreed to 145 and he said he felt in great shape and there was nothing wrong with him, so whats your beef?
Hey I dont have a problem with Cotto agreeing to 145. Thats fine he said he can make it with no problem.. I do have a problem with them forcing him to put his 147lb WELTERWEIGHT title on the line but not letting him weigh in at 147lbs. Thats the problem i have with that.. You want him to come down to 145 thats fine but dont force the guy to put a title on the line that has the 147lb weight limit.

Actually you should learn how to READ what people write. I never said nothing about Cotto being weight drained and I didnt say that Cotto didnt feel good did i???? And Cotto wasn't the one who wanted the fight at 145. Why would he want the fight at 145 when he fights at 147??? He agreed to come down to 145 because he knew he would get a big payday but it wasnt his decision.. It was Team Pac.
Why cant Pac Fans just agree that better drug testing would be good for the sport. Two Clean athletes on March 13 is a great idea is it not?
There you go again with that cleanliness crap. Why can't Floyd fans accept that the key to the fight is in their idol himself. Pac already made compromises about that ped shit including being tested immediately AFTER the fight. Why in the world is that not good enough?
It seems so idiotic to think that that ped shit could bring supernatural powers in humans. It's even more idiotic to think that you can hide that shit without getting caught.
I'm done with these senseless bullies.

Manny didnt force anyone to do anything. Cotto made 12 million dollars by fighting Pacquiao. He was lucky he got it after getting what was really a gift decision against Clottey. Cotto said the weight wasnt a problem, His usual weigh-in was 146. Are you seriously telling me one, one and a half pounds had anything to do with the results in the ring?

Man, that's boxing. What else is new? When you're at the top you get to dictate the rules. Weight is not an uncommon issue in it. Where have you been all these years?
In contrast, what the FM camp is asking is beyond anything you have seen in boxing. It's nothing more than an unprecedented bullying at it's height. Apples and oranges.
The real question is, do you want the fight more than your opponent does? Go figure.
