Superstition and fear of needles is a pathetic excuse

[johnm is...]

Its also about realizing that not all your demands will be met. If Mayweather cancels over this thats very unfortunate.

If Pac refuses the test, I'll assume he's afraid. This **** goes both ways.

Those who are defending Manny's decision on not wanting to take the Olympic style test on random dates before the fight, would you honestly(swear to your mother) defend Floyd if he was in this situation using the same exact excuses as Pacquiao? And would you be accusing Pacquiao of being the cause of the fight not happening because Floyd doesn't want to be tested?

If the situation were switched around, you would certainly be singing a different tune. You want all of Manny's demands to be met, don't you? but I agree, all demands can't be met,

and yet, Mayweather has given in to every demand Pac has made so far. I believe the fight is 50-50.. 8oz gloves, March 13th, and 10 million per lb over 147..

All these were originally demands made by the Pacquiao camp. So if Mayweather isn't exactly bending over backwards for this fight to happen, he is certainly coming to the table and making concessions.

You can't blame JUST Mayweather if the deal falls though, which I don't believe it will anyway.

ic pacman will eventually agree to the blood testing he should now file a case against floyd sr. so that when he is found to not on roids the case will we won at the same time.

You're right Syf, and Mayweathers only demand is an Olympic style drug testing which is being refused.

4 out 4 demands met by Team Mayweather, 0 out 1 demand met by Team Pacquiao.

Um, who is it that doesn't want the fight to be made again? Do I read correctly when posters say Mayweather?

Refusing a simple blood test will raise a few eyebrows.

Man all this bull**** started with Floyd SR.

If it wasn't Pacquiao you wouldn't say that...

I'd take a needle in the arm over a punch in the face...

it depends on the person i guess. im an amateur boxer and i id rather get punched in the face than take a needle

Yes sir I would. If this was a standard thing for Mayweather opponents I'd be all over Pac about it, but this is a special stipulation that Pac isn't required to accept.

Actually Pac agreed to give blood, just not 30 days before the fight.
