Freddie Roach: "I'd take the tests" on ESPN Rome.

Pac being afraid of needles, my a$$!!!1

wait a minute did you not just say link or it didnt happen? if so then how can you accept someone's word that Mayweather asked for 60/40 when there is no proof of this?

I said that because its on two different levels, May asking for 60/40 doesn't surprise me, but Roach saying that stuff does.

[Ravishing]

Okay anyway. Back on subject.

I think this fight will go down now.

Who really thinks it wouldn't happen to begin with? Aside from all the posturing on both sides, who are either going to fight be it Floyd beats Mosley? It'll be an even bigger event than if it were to happen in March (as I stated repeatedly in February).

But what this also should confirm to people is:

A. There's always more to the story than what we see on the surface. Things are never that black and white.

B. If Freddie himself is agreeing he'd take the tests himself, why would he throw his own fighter that has financially helped him out under the bus as if he's hiding something? Of all people, you're trainer is gonna dime you out?

Unless something tragic happens to either fighter, I see a Fall classic.

This is Freddie's way of getting Manny to get the fight done. He's calling him out, and I think it's smart. Manny's machismo will get the better of him and he'll succumb.

Hes Pac trainer. Pac does what Freddy says. This fight will happen. They just weren't ready for Mayweather in March.

I agree with you on the reason for not fighting him in March. However, I don't think Pac will be ready for him in September, October or November either.

Ha , Manny needs to take that test to get rid of all the doubters that think he is on roids.
I think it's Arum being stubborn, Manny will do what Roach wants though, I think.

funny thing in this all thing is i came to doubt about pac not because of the mayweathers accusations but because of the crasy way pac's team handled it... exept arum they all dont know at all how to deal with it

Are you that ******? He never said he was afraid of needles. He has tattoos. He doesn't like blood being taken close to the fight because he felt it had something to do with his loss against Morales. And I think that is ****** but its not him being afraid of needles. And he should realize that it was probably him wearing the winning gloves and not a ****** blood test. Or having an off night or something.

I posted my thread 2 months ago with quotes from Shawn Porter's dad/trainer (Pacquiao's main sparring partner for Cotto) saying he thought that they didn't take it because Pacquiao wasn't ready.

It got like 20-30 posts, people aren't interested in logical thoughts.

You have got to ask yourself a question, though? How can the supposedly P4P4P champion who has been walking through opponents for four consecutive years not be ready for a guy who spent two years in retirement and has fought once in the last three years?

I agree that they turned the fight down because he was not ready. But fact that he needed 8 or 9 months and a tuneup first to prepare tells me that Freddie Roach knows that Pac is not as good as his hype.

[Calilloyd]

You make no sense.

Listen, it's pretty simple -- Pacquiao and Roach are two separate people. So the **** what if Roach said he'd take a test? He is not Manny.

What a **** thread. Sorry Burner. It's just ****. I hate these ****** bits of drama people create out of nothing, it's the equivalent of old women gossiping on the corner about the neighbor's curtains and it lowers the quality of the forums.

You do the same thing. You were one of the main ones calling Mayweather "scum of the Earth" because he allegedly made a joke after a GBP girl fainted. How is this thread any worse than that? So spare us the holier than thou act just because the thread is not going in the direction you like.
