When FLoyd & Manny sat down at the table to negotiate the biggest fight in history, I just knew it was too good to be true. I knew Money Mayweather wasnt going to agree to a 50/50 split, & I thought the 10 million for every pound over weight was bogus. Floyd thought other wise and agreed to terms many thought he would used to not fight. They were wrong! THe fight was a signature away from being made when all of a sudden blood testing became a HUGE ISSUE.
I like to think that people are innocent until proven guilty. I also believe you can be assumed innocent but incriminate yourself by talkng way too much. In the case of Manny Pacquiao I always thought he was innocent until he came with excuse after excuse on why he couldnt test instead of just saying "I just dont want to test".
Excuses I heard thus far on why Manny Pacquiao shouldnt test:
1) Scared of needles
2) Giving blood weakens him for several days
3) Against his religion
4) Thats why he lost to Erik
5) The commission doesnt require it
6) I can get aids, Hiv, Hematomas, etc
7)Mosley and FLoyd had a 18 day cut off
8) Floyd never requested this from anyone else
9)I lose day 13 &14 in sparring
I feel as though an athlete in an all contact sport should be willing and egar to submit blood. I have a hard time understanding why Manny wouldnt want to know whats in Floyds system as well. Not everyone is a cheater, stealer, or murderer. But not everyone is charlie's angles either so we have to test and show that we are clean because "actions speak louder then words". I think these fighters have made the testing issue bigger then the fight and that is CRAZY!!!!
