Did Anyone Find It Strange That Pac Said NO?

Are you serious? You people are avoiding it because it doesn't suit your bogus theories, does it?

That says it all, right there.

With a 24 day cut off, what is the damn point?

Are you serious? You're on roids during the fight. Don't tell me it's gone a few minutes after the fight. What's wrong with these people?

[Xcusemymood]

If you care to read my sig. then you'll know why they wanted to have a 24-day window. You don't want to give Pac not training properly due to that testing.

That quote in your sig is the biggest load of bull**** Ive ever read. 3 ****ing days for some eyedrops? Sounds like Manny is a hypochondriac to me....And even if Manny truly feels that way that is his problem because that is not a reasonable situation for a logical person to believe.

Can you imagine someone saying "Im not gonna work for 3 days because I cant use my hand after I clipped my fingernails."

Not logical.

This is an objective, balanced, intelligent thread.

This has gone on for months.

Trying to find objectivity on Boxing Scene at this point, would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

The facts are all there. Its just how you interpret them

[Xcusemymood]

I find these Pac haters lacking in objectivity at all. It seems ****** to focus on the 14 day cut-off and ignore the most important test of all, which is right after the fight. Pacquiao agreed to it. And how does this guy (Pac) supposed to know that this is not enough?

I have to conclude these Pac haters have gone back to being 12 yr olds pretending to be adults.

That right there.

No fighter using peds will have them in thier system on the day of the fight. You use them during training, then come off them about a week or so before your competition, so you have a body enhanced by drug induced training but not the drugs themselves in your system. Surely you should know this by now?

[MindBat]

not really, Pac is very superstitious. Last time he did blood testing before fight he lost.

That's odd. He had a tube of blood drawn before the Hatton fight and won.

Doesn't make any sense.

and its not about money, where most of us dont understand. Pac is sitting well in Philippines, several successful businesses.

That's strange because he clearly agreed to a 50/50 purse split from the very beginning.

Hmmm. Not about money, eh?

btw, is it stranged to you that Flyod ask Pac for Olympic style drug testing and had not ask not a single fighter from all his previous fights?

Nobody brought up the issue then. The one who could have brought up the issue then was Oscar De La Hoya or even Freddie who was training Oscar to beat Floyd.

Strange isn't it?

Floyd knows damn well Pac would refuse such testing, even if Pac accepted it, Floyd would come up with another excuses to not make the fight happened.

That's peculiar. It was Team Pacquiao with the help of Arum who were in the media spreading silly excuses and giving ultimatums to call the fight off when things weren't going their way.

Fact, MP had a bad experience with blood testing near the fight lost to Erik Morales.

Fact, MP agreed to the 24days instead of 30days because of familiar ground, had blood testing 24days before fighting Hatton and won. 14days is unfamiliar grounds for Manny hence a no.

It is like asking a fighter who uses lucky socks on every fight and had experience losing without it, not use the lucky socks at his most important fight in his career. To the rest of the people may think it is ****** but to the fighter it means a lot.

[Mr. Philadel]

Yes, it was very strange. Incredibly strange. And his reasons for saying no were idiotic, as well.

I agree with this!!!

Fact: Manny has spilled more blood in fights than he was being asked to spill for testing. There were no signs of any weakness in those fights.

On the other hand, I would agree that not eating or drinking to make weight before the fight is the real cause of his weakness. But then again, that was two days before the fight.

Don't boxers rehydrate their bodies before getting in the ring?

I'm sure Manny had something to eat as well.
