Manny Pacquiao has dug his own grave. Were it any other fighter opposite Mayweather in these ridiculous negotiations, it would not be so. But because it's Pacquiao, and because of the kind of man he is, things will not look so hot for him down the road.
If we were dealing with a personality akin to Floyd Mayweather's, one that is charged with ego, and his own inflation sense of self, this kind of "how-dare-you-accuse-me" **** might just seem like someone acting out of their ass. The problem is, Manny Pacquaio has AGAIN AND AGAIN proven himself to be a stand up, classy guy who doesn't **** around.
You never hear him talking **** before a fight, and he's exactly the kind of fighter who always lets his fists do the talking. He is, in a sense, the opposite of Mayweather. He keeps his mouth shut, and his fists up, and SHOWS not TELLS.
This is a problem now because he's been accused of cheating - and his reaction has not been congruous with his personality at all. It raises some serious question marks when a guy who has spent his whole career shutting people up, not with words or rash posturing, but with ACTION - suddenly refuses to step up to someone calling him out.
Had he said absolutely, taken and passed all the tests - win, lose, or draw against PBF he would look like someone who was in the clear, but the fact that he has ducked this whole situation, and FILED A ****ING LAWSUIT is a smoking gun. It's just not how this guy behaves, and the fact that this kind of behavior is in response to allegations of CHEATING is seriously su****ious.
Lots of people look to the physical feats of Manny Pacquiao to try and decide whether or not he's guilty of what's being accused, but the truth is, you only need to look at his reaction to tell that something is definitely out of the ordinary.
Step up and take the tests, or shut the **** up and let Freddie Roach stick a needle in your ass, and go beat up Yuri Foreman. This sport, at this time, does not need people who are trying to cheat the system.
