When FLoyd & Manny sat down at the table to negotiate the biggest fight in history, I just knew it was too good to be true. I knew Money Mayweather wasnt going to agree to a 50/50 split, & I thought the 10 million for every pound over weight was bogus. Floyd thought other wise and agreed to terms many thought he would used to not fight. They were wrong! THe fight was a signature away from being made when all of a sudden blood testing became a HUGE ISSUE.
I like to think that people are innocent until proven guilty. I also believe you can be assumed innocent but incriminate yourself by talkng way too much. In the case of Manny Pacquiao I always thought he was innocent until he came with excuse after excuse on why he couldnt test instead of just saying "I just dont want to test".
Excuses I've heard thus far on why Manny Pacquiao shouldnt test:
1) Scared of needles
2) Giving blood weakens him for several days
3) Against his religion
4) Thats why he lost to Erik
5) The commission doesnt have that rule
6)I lose day 14 & 13 sparring
7) I can get aids, Hiv, Hep A & B, and I can get hematomas in my elbow
8) Floyd didnt ask the other 40 fighters to test
9) Mosley & Floyd had a 18 day cut off
10) USDA still isnt efficient and people can still cheat
And the list is growing. I still say as an athlete thats in a contact sport you should be willing to submit blood. He should be just as egar to know whats in floyds system come fight night. Not saying Manny is guilty but I believe his reasons for not testing are ridiculous!
