Pacquiao to Floyd: I'll take a blood test in between rounds!!!

[Gino Ros]

In the Philippines, four out of every 10 Filipino women use skin-whitening creams. What can be done to combat these issues where darker Filipinos are being discriminated against and feeling shame for their own skin?

Pacquiao: I’m a very proud Filipino. Our color is something that gives us our identity. Our culture is similar to India and Pakistan, where they prefer the light skin. Everybody looks at America and Caucasian people as the ideal. Even in the Philippines everyone wants to come to America; they think it’s a great lifestyle.

Pacquiao: I think it’s different for each nation. It depends on how progressive the country is. Our country relies heavily on the advice of the church. We’re a very Catholic nation, and a lot of our ideas come from the values of the church. We’re not as developed as the United States or England. So, the people need to have that structure for now. When we get more developed, then we can have the more progressive thinking where we can separate everything.

We have a lot of people that are illiterate and don’t have the capability for social welfare like other countries have. So it’s difficult to educate everybody. The church does a good job of separating itself to an extent, and presenting its values to the people. Even with the church and state separate, it’s up to the common sense and moral center of the individual.

I'm not denying both camps have overwhelming contradictions. Both fighters are divas, even though Mayweather is my favourite active fighter, i can admit that. The post is implying Manny will take tests between rounds, in response to the thread I'm saying Manny's history of quotes suggest he may not be totally serious, and sounds undecided. That is all.

Yes.. both camps are all over the place. The thing is.. when one side compromises to give in to demands.. Shouldn't we as boxing fans applaud that? Why doesn't Floyd call his bluff? Manny called his bluff in regards to the blood testing. I just want to see the fight.. even if Manny gives blood the day of the fight.

So...

Floyd agrees to ring size

Floyd agrees to glove size

Floyd agrees to glove brand

Manny doesn't agree to full testing.

You make loads of sense.

Ring size? Glove size? Glove brand? You can do better than that..

Pac statement is consistent with Arum when he said that they agreed unconditionally with Floyd's demand in the second negotiations..

Then why did Koncz say he didn't? Not to mention Jeff Mayweather saying the same.

"I will not take any extra tests!!! Why should i????!! Mayweather isnt the commision!"

"I will only do 24 days"

"Actually 14 days is ok"

"I will blood testing up till the day of the fight!"

"Infact, 7 days before the fight suits me better"

"If floyd wants, i am willing to take tests between rounds!!!!!"


Manny, please just stick to one view. It's getting embarrassing.

Actually NO. It shows his willingness towards concession and compromise to make the fight.

[iNDOLiFER]

No.. my Pinoy brothers are saying it is a real interview.

So we will all just accept what Manny said. Everything Manny said.

......... u mad!

I am quoting the same interview.

That video was in the same interview. So it must be related.

[mikemurni]

Then why did Koncz say he didn't?

You rather believe Koncz than Pac and Arum...Assuming of course if the article is accurate.. Although Arum's quote came from a more reliable source..
