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

[Fu Manchu]

I can't believe so many people here think that Pac exposed himself as a roid user in this interview. The only thing that exposed Pac here is that he can't even understand English. The dude couldn't even understand Jimmy Kimmel or Larry Merchant so how the hell can he understand Brian Kenny? The thing I noticed with Manny and his English interviews is that he doesn't entirely understand the question. He gives answers based on particular words that he thinks he understands.

To be honest, I think both Manny and Floyd wanted to fight each other, but I believe that both camps realized that there wasn't much time to properly promote the fight before March 13. This is why both camps said that they'll just do it later in 2010. Even Arum really hated Mayweather, why the hell would he consider Floyd to be Manny's opponent later in 2010?

He knew he's going to have this interview way ahead of time so he had prepared for it. In an interview of this magnitude on ESPN, if he was so concerned about English not being his first language and how it would affect him, he should've hired a translator.

They were not hard questions. I'm sure that an idiot could've anticipated the questions. Truth is that he had no logical answer for denying the test. He's just trying to pull the "me know no english" excuse.

And you must be very naive. It's not the first time Arum had lied to make himself look good.

No doubt Pacquiao would fight Mayweather but obviously he needs time to rid of whatever Ariza power fed him.

Duh!? and what do you think Ariza fed pac? you obviously a hater!!

I don't think Manny knows about or cares about the whole blood testing negotiation thing. I reckon he'd fight whenever, wherever with whatever tests. It's just an ego thing between Roach, Arum and the Mayweathers and now Manny has to pretend he doesn't want the tests to back them up.

i kinda felt this way too....the absence of the pac camp's rebuttals to all this drug talk got me worried...but if you think about it.....these guys are not on forums waiting for the latest news and threads about the ****...theyre on their own level of whats coming in...and they were all separated...all this couldve not even been a big deal to them....and pac was in the phils...he's surrounded by yesmen

I think his bad english makes the interview sound bad coz he can't explain it very well in english.

dude pauses when he speaks tagalog too....so english is 3x times worse....lol
dude is better off smiling and letting roach talk lol

Its almost like watching a child trying to lie to his parents. When you are 4 years old your command of the English language is not that great, and grownups are able to see right through your bull****.

Manny can speak English well enough(like a 4 year old), he just not good enough to lie in English.

lmfao!!! I agree.

this is an interview on espn radio on why manny didn't want to take the blood tests...

I have a feeling that Pacquaio will have no problem taking random blood tests for a Mayweather fight after 1) the Clottey fight draws a smaller than expected number on PPV and to the live event, proving that Pacquaio is not the star that he, his team and his worshippers think he is; 2) Mayweather/Mosley does a huge number on PPV, proving that Mayweather is a bigger PPV attraction and 3) Clottey either beats Pacquaio or fights well enough to argue that he was robbed.

After these things happen, Pac's pride and fear of whatever the hell it is he claims he fears won't prevent him from taking random blood tests as Mayweather requested.
