~~To Pacquiao fans: The myth that taking blood weakens needs to end.~~

[Kilrain]

I meant to quote the second video. It's the 2nd vid Im speaking of

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

I don't see 2 containers? Also, who says this is 19 days before?

This is 19 days before the Clottey fight. At :48 it says "2 containers of blood"

[AFighter4U]

Question, how many times are you tested and how much blood is required per test and in what span of time before a game for an OSTing? pls give link on rules or procedures for OSTing

[Mr. Anonymous]

Dont lie bro. Floyd finals offer was a 14 day cut off. It wasnt 24 hours from the fight.

after the fight was called off Floyd said a lot of things. The fight was called off due to the the reason. Nobody wants to play around with Floyd. Everyone wants to see he fight. But if Floyd wants a Big PAYday he has to come to Manny! He wont get it anywhere else after Mosley..given he wins! back to topic! The nego went south because there was no agreement to the cut off date..the company giving the test has guidelines and its random up until 24 hrs of fight. Floyd can say what ever he wants after the fight was called off.

Bob Arum said he knew about 14 days since January 1st.

No I didnt.

He said blood weakens him and he offered 24 days.


What you should be asking yourself is this:

If a 2 day blood test weakened him what was wrong with a 14 day blood test. Rather then trying to nitpick at the thread.

Maybe there's nothing wrong with the 14 days, maybe Pac's team said 'fck it, we don't need this' because they just don't like how Floyd kept pushing his demands, especially when Pac was wililng to go from 30 to 24 days, knowing that this isn't even a standard regulation? It's obvious that Floyd knew about Pac's concerned getting blood drawn close to the fight and using it as ammunition.

it sounds like u are holding up manny's pants. he copped out of the fight. Team pacquiao left the negotiating table, not team mayweather!


let's just call it what it is.....manny doesn't like the random part of drug testing!

Yeah all this is cool.........


Until.......

He gets two tubes of blood taken.

19 days away.

i agree with posters here - it is amazing how people conveniently forget the facts behind this issue....

Firstly Team Pac refused to budge from 30 days full stop, then GBP exposed Pac by showing him taking blood 24 days before the Hatton fight on 24/7...

It was only at that stage did Team Pac move down to 24 days - they had to coz there was no argument to insist on more days than they did against Hatton....

So they entered negotiations / mediation with 24 days and people were acting like this was a comprimise - it was nothing of the sort..... Floyd finally offered 14 days and they still refused - negotiations broke down.

So after going backwards and forwards with various reasons for why Manny cant have his blood taken (scared of needles, energy drainage, superstition) they then shot themselves in the foot by not only taking blood 19 days before the fight.... but also came into the gym the VERY NEXT day and apparently clapped up a whole bunch of sparring partners... (so much for being drained then)

The story in question is actually here on Boxingscene... im at work so cant fish it out for you but will happily do so if challenged....

Whether you think Pac is doping or not - the stories simply dont add up - FACT

[Jexy55]

Hmm, all i recall first is Floyd syaing 14 days, Pacquiaos side saying 24. Then a month or so after we start getting fed with it was Pac who said 14 days?! wierd.

Also in the video where he has his blood drawn...so much for being scared of needles. DUDE IS LOOKING AT IT! AND WATCHING THE BLOOD BE TAKEN! WTF.

I never wanted to be on this bandwagon that Pac is on something....but this **** is su****ious now.
