Pacquiao talks about his blood test 2 days before the 1st Morales fight.

I think we are arguing with a bunch of 13 year olds here.
I feel embarrased now.
Let's ignore them.Comment

The CONTEXT of the post I was replying to was a 2-day cutoff,
and that 2 days was enough to juice up profitably.
Now as for the 30-day cutoff, I've said it before and I will say it
again: Arum is the author of any and all 30-day demands. Even
that recent press release on Manny's site --like most written
announcements-- doesn't come directly from Pac.
Video of Pac actually talking has been CONSISTENT: 24 hours
minimum, but obviously he'd prefer more. These are video
interviews on the 23rd and the 29th of December, the latter
coming AFTER a supposed 30-day demand from pac himself.
Arum authored the 30.
Roach offered 4-5 days.
Pac says 24 hrs (even less than USADA's policy of 48!)
If you leave it up to Pac, the fight gets signed quick.
Unfortunately, if you leave it up to Pac, he will also sign with
two different promoters, and three different appearances on
on the same fucking timeslot, so...
there's a reason his manager and promoter are there.
90% of what's been reported about this fiasco is not just so
lawyered-up, reedited beyond recognition or mistaken, but
actually maliciously-fabricated falsehood.
Fuck rumors, unnamed sources or statements "supposedly
written by".
All we have to go on, that is UNDENIABLY SO, is:
what the principal players ACTUALLY SAY ON VIDEO.
On video, verbally:
Pacquiao has been consistent, and while he wants badly to
beat Floyd in the ring, there's no question, all the innuendo,
insinuations and outright lies geared against Pacquiao are
getting out of hand and affecting him.
The sad part is that this fiasco (in which Pac's team's own
responses have been misguided) is hurting boxing JUST
when it seemed to be enjoying a resurgence in general
popularity.

translation from youtube
"This is what happened, 1 month before the fight, they told me they need requirements for my medical for the fight"
"All of the drugs tests including blood test. I finished it all and it was all clear"
"However, they contacted me again 2 days before the fight all of a sudden"
"My camp and I told them that it was already done"
"We told them, why?"
"The doctor said they lost my record"
"What happened to my record? Why did they lost it?"
"And why 2 days before the fight, why tell me now?"
"I've asked a doctor in another hospital about this and they told me that it is impossible for them to lose my medical record
"I had a big su****ion. I think it's the hospitals fault and it's part of their (other camp) tactics. We didn't pursue for an investigation because we had no time, the fight was coming"
"After they took the blood out (2 days before the fight). I got dizzy 30 minutes after they took the blood."
"The doctor told me to drink plenty of water after the blood was taken out."
"I couldn't drink water and I couldn't eat, so I just lay down and just got a massage"
"I really felt the affect (of the blood being drawn) on fight night"
"All my punches that hit Morales, I thought to myself that this is all I could do, I could not take him down."

I have a feeling that Pac still believes that having a blood test so close to the fight will weaken him. But based on the interview, it seems that it wasn't the blood test that made him feel weak but the lack of food and hydration. He was literally draining himself to make weight and thus he believed it was the blood test that weakened him.
If he had a blood test 2 hours before a fight now, I doubt he would be feeling any effects.
I'm sorry Pacfans but this interview just proved that Manny should just take the random blood tests.Comment
