Pac takes blood test 20 days before Clottey fight

[damned1974]

true.. but why would you agree to a guy trying to ruin your name, while you have other options, though not as better but definitely still good.. and might end up even as better...

Come on-At any point,Manny could have made Floyd look pathetic if he took the tests and proved he was training and fighting Floyd in a clean fight.
What you are forgetting is that Manny as a fighter would have waited all his career for an opportunity to fight what most believe is the largest threat to Manny.As well as that, it would have made Manny the largest legacy and money fight in his career.When you want something bad enough,you are willing to do what it takes-if Manny is as clean in his blood as he claims,then there is absolutely no problem.It is not "bullying" or "ruining your name" by requesting testing that would benifit ALL fighters involved. If anything,it has made a lot of people su****ious with Manny's refusal and resistance to random testing.
I also find it weird that Manny could refuse 1 fight that would make him more money than 3 fights-think about this seriously-more money than 3 fights.If you truely understand how much hell they have to go through inside and outside the ring in just 1 fight,let alone 3-it would simply not make sense to refuse this small request...

just bogus.
Manny made a huge deal over this deadline when he faces Floyd, but we hear NOTHING when he is fighting Clottey.
a joke.

if Manny really is using any sort of performance enhancing drugs, then why isn't his brother Bobby Pacquiao is as good as him then??

Pac fans are EXTREMELY racist.

ALL fans can be extremely racist. But you only point out the pac fans. What does that make you?

It can go the other way around for floyd jr. as well. It simply makes no sense to refuse a small request for a test to be taken 24 days before a fight. What is 10 days?

Floyd refused $40 million just because he couldn't wait for 10 days. What i find su****ious is that if floyd jr. could nonchalantly accept a ridiculous request of a $10 million penalty, why can't he accept a simple request of 10 days?

cuz there was NEVER any problems with Clottey. They made the deal within 24 hours of negotiations!

Unlike floyd jr. who took 5 days even when all the details were agreed to and both parties had no problems whatsoever.

Pac is right for not taking the tests. Blood tests are too risky and should be banned from all sports. Here's why

1. The main risks with blood tests are discomfort or bruising at the site where the needle goes in. These complications usually are minor and go away shortly after the tests are done. They are minimized by applying adequate pressure at the site of the needle stick after the test is done. Serious reactions to having blood drawn are very uncommon.

2. The main side effects of blood tests are pain at the site where blood is drawn and bruising at the site.

3.Some patients experience vasovagal reactions when they have blood drawn. This is a situation where a person briefly loses consciousness after having a fear reaction to a procedure or event.

4. Needles can be contaminated by blood-borne diseases, most notably HIV/AIDS and hepatitis A, B, and C.

Manny Pacquiao claimed any blood test within 24 days of a fight would make him "Weak".

When the negotiations first began team pac said they had no problem with OST.
