Manny Paquaio on why he didn't want to take the blood test [interview]

[Syf]

Until it's proven that Pac cheated, I'll keep watching his fights, and so will other fans.

It is my opinion you would support Pac regardless of whether he is roiding or not. So would his fanbase of rabid fans. More's the pity..

Good luck finding someone here who knows what McCarthyism is.

isn't that the Red scare guy?

GTFOH. McCarthyism? Yeah, like submitting testing has anything to do with that.

He made himself look bad in this one and the fact that he signed a fight with Clottey so soon and the fact that the whole way thru negotiations his team kept mentioning names other than Mayweather leads me to think someone in that camp didn't want the fight.

I think anyone with an unbiased view who followed what was happening realizes that the fight was doomed once Golden Boy refused to go to Dallas.

My theory: Arum promised to deliver a Pacquiao fight to Cowboys Stadium behind the scenes with Jones without Schaefer's knowledge. Once it was clear Golden Boy/Mayweather wanted the fight in Dallas, Arum was looking for ways to get out of the fight. Every day, even when there were reports that Pacquiao and Roach were willing to compromise on the blood tests, Arum was busy giving deadlines and ultimatums and talking about how the fight was dead. It also explains why they were able to put together a deal for Pacquiao-Clottey so quickly. He was the only person involved who looked like he didn't want the fight to take place.

Bob Arum killed the fight.

Smear campaign.....heh, *******s and their conspiracy theories. If it makes you feel better, its not just Pacman but all of boxing that can be looked at su****iously...even Mayweather but, he is willing to do something about it.

Is Pacquiao-Mayweather debacle beginning of change in boxing's drug culture?

You just made my point.

[Imhotep]

Pac contradicted himself, but whatever the fights over and Pac better get use to answering these kinds of questions, because they're going to be around for a while. But it was shocking that he said as long as the blood testing demands are on the table he won't make the fight. it makes you wonder some more.

Floyd should use this recording in court.The judge would hit Pac with the gravel after hearing this.

Yet, somehow Roach gets the idea that Mayweather turned down the 14 days? Where? Arum? -Don't know...but Arum is definitely not telling both Roach and Pacquiao the whole spiel of the negotiations.

Also, it's funny how you guys are accusing Pacquiao of subterfuge with his answers. Some Pacquiao haters are dissecting his answers while ridiculing his broken English. Where's the logic in that?

It's simple...Pacquiao doesn't want 14 days and will take the blood tests with the number of days he intially agreed to which is 24 -regardless of whether he says "just not before the fight". People need to read between the lines of his inadquate English and understand this..because he has repeated these statements before in a number of interviews. THIS IS NOT NEW!!!!


Roach is fine with 5 days.

By the way, Pacquiao needs a translator.

I understand that Manny is sticking with his guns with the 24 days and i agree with him as well. But, when he was asked about the 15 days, i didn't like the answer at all, now granted, Manny cannot and doesn't know how to communicate and articulate himself in english, and i'll give him that. My beef with this whole thing though and it has more to do with Arum, is that why couldn't they meet halfway and agree to 19 days, it's all about negotiating. My point is that i truly believe that this was intentionally sabotage by Arum. And i'll get in to that with another thread.

if manny beats clottey


pac/may will happen late this year.

Idk why people wanted this on 3/13 that would of been only 3 months to promote the fight


a fight like floyd/manny needs 5-6 months of promoting. Its bigger then the superbowl or the nba finals.

fair point!!!
