Arum and Roach's response: "We’re not going to agree to have Manny's blood tested"

[COACH WEBB]

Pacquiao needs to come out with a statement from HIM, not his bull**** advisers who he lets speak for him, immediately to save his reputation anymore damage. Right now, I can't look at him and not think: steroid user. He needs to agree to whatever they want in order to clear his name.

I agree 100%! He is a grown man and needs to speak for himself ESPECIALLY AT THIS POINT.

[Allucard]

It's not simply, taking a test. Drawing blood can affect your performance. I know, if I get blood drawn outta my arm, the next day, I can't curl for ****. It's sore as ***. I'm not saying it's major, but maybe enough to play against him in his mind or something. It's just ****** and the best way for Mayweather to back out of the fight while saying to everyone, Pac is on steroids. It's sad the level Mayweather brings boxing down to, yet his fans are ok with it all.

As long as it's done to both fighters, no boxing fan should be against any test.

Floyd is just scared that's why he's inventing out of this world stipulations just to cover up his unwillingness to fight Pacquiao.

nothing is guaranteed ...

Manny will probably give blood (pints) 24 hours before the fight....

Money will probably piss 3 weeks before .... and call it fair ... why?

because that is what random means....

[RockStar45]

What's weird to me is, Pacquiao gave blood 2-4 weeks before the Hatton fight, but he won't do the same for Mayweather?

That to me signals that this is all posturing by both sides and the fear of needles and even the whole Pacquiao is on steroids campaign is a bunch of BS.

But if the fight falls apart, this will be embarassing for the sport and Pacquiao.

No, that's not what random means at all in terms of Olympic testing. They would each be tested multiple, random times leading up to the fight. It's not like pulling a name out of a hat.

Floyd has agreed to have his blood tested, why would Manny not?

[DiLLiNGER]

In case manny doesn't take this blood test..There would be a big question mark about his victories against..DLH,hatton and cotto.

no, random mean it would be random, and there would be no amount of probability that the odds would be in favor of Floyd, because then it would not be random.

FYI The amount of blood taken per test is a little over a tablespoon or about 16mL. Here is the link to the World Anti-Doping Agency document detailing the amount of blood taken. It's on page 12.

Hardly enough to affect performance. Manny's a big boy. He should be able to overcome his little fear of needles for $40-50 million.
