Ring Magazine and IBA featherweight champion Manny Pacquiao was today forced to take a blood test and an eye examination by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after they discovered that trainer Freddie Roach and the new management team headed by Shelly Finkel had failed to submit Pacquiao to the mandatory medical examination within the prescribed 30 day period before the fight.
When Pacquiao was informed early today that he had to undergo the tests he initially refused claiming that the drops put in his eyes blur his vision for about three days and it was too close to the showdown with Erik "El Terrible" Morales on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
