Comments Thread For: Manny is Looking To Expand The 'Pacquiao' Brand in 2011

Why will Pacquiao NOW agree to random blood testing within 14-days ?

pac has agreed to a 7 day cut off.

a 7 day cut off is better than a 14 day cut off, and both are better than an 18 day cut off.

When the negotiations began the first time for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao (for March 2010), they were running out of time for a proper promotion. I mean, they were still negotiating in January and since neither fighter wanted to be out-negotiated, along with Pacquiao running for a congressional seat in May, it made perfect sense to walk away from that fight, let it build up and have the fight in November. For whatever reason anyone wants to claim, the fight in November didn't happen. I mean look at Pacquiao's next fight with Mosley on May 7th which was over 3 months away when signed. And look at all the press the fight is already getting with 2-3/4 months to go, with taking the fight to Showtime which will get a major network push, to all the tickets virtually sold out, etc. This is the way a fight with Mayweather will need to be handled and I feel that two months was not enough and since they still weren't agreeing on everything, Pacquiao walked away figuring a huge November fight with Mayweather would occur...

That is a MASSIVE baseless assumption, and completely out of left-field.

How does that " assumption " fit in with the 6 ridiculous excuses that Team Pacquiao gave to avoid random blood tests?

I get your point about the timing, it was starting to become a valid issue.

But that is not the reason why Manny walked away, and you know it

At least you admit that Manny was the reason that fight fell over.

Get PullCounter up with the play willya he makes up all kinds of ****.

all that is water under the bridge. all you gotta know is that a 7 day cut off is better than an 18 day cut off.
