Roach offers a compromise.

Roach said his concern has nothing to do with hiding anything.

"Giving blood right before the fight could be like having sex right before the fight," Roach said. "It's 100% mental. If it's in your head that it weakens you, then it will weaken you."

Roach extended an olive branch to the riff, saying he would allow Pacquiao to give a blood sample one week before the fight, but no closer than three days before the first bell.

Ellerbe said, "It's our understanding [the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency] won't be drawing the blood within 24 hours of the fight, so there shouldn't be a problem. If Freddie thinks Floyd is running from him, all they have to do is agree to the testing."

From another thread. So it looks like this problem will iron out. They will argue a bit about the cap, but nothing insurmountable, I don't think.

Sort of like making the Welterweight Champion come in at a limit of 145lbs right?..

this confirms that Roach is a *****!..he's knows a hell of a lot..but he exposes himself in every fight..and is making Pacquiao look terrible..and is tainting his mans legacy by pulling this type of ****..

giving blood and having sex isn't comparable at all...

This is dumb and has nothing to do with the issue between Mayweather and Pacquiao.

Cotto said repeatedly that he had no problem going down to 145.

they are if you've never done either before in your entire life

which we know for a fact Pacquiao hasn't

******!!!!

[DLT]

This thread has to do with Roach Moron..and I simply replied to what Roach did to Pacquiao's last opponent..mentally..hell he wanted him at 142lbs..CLOWN ASS ******

and of course Cotto's gonna say that..he did what he had to do for the right $$$..Pacquiao wouldn't have fought Cotto at 147lbs..and Cotto probably wouldn't have had another opportunity at that kind of money..so he took it..Boxing is Business..and Roach knew Cotto could make 145lbs but it's a mental struggle knowing that's your limit..much different when your limit is 147 and you come in at 146..
