Comments Thread For: Donaire: Manny Pacquiao and Testing, It's a Pride Thing

[Bull24]

How many years will this subject be dragged on?

[VatoMulatto]

"If it was Fernando Montiel who told me to take a test, I would think, "Why would you want me to do it?" said Donaire. "I would think that he was just playing with my head"

No, If he asked Donaire to take a test it would be because he is currently working with the most notorious founder of the steroid-distributing operation known as BALCO. Anyone who works with Victor Conte should understand why other people could be very su****ious.

bwahahahaha u cant explain things to this idiots who never know how to become a star.......a disgraced boxer asking ost????????

[Pacquiao'd]

Thank you for presenting an intelligent argument. I can't stand the use of ridiculous names (*****, *******, etc.). It's so childish.

I'm on Manny's side with this, but I do feel that an intelligent arguement can be made on Floyd's behalf. I just don't see it often, or maybe I just can't read it if it contains ignorant name-calling.

*looks at your avatar then laughs at you post*

no he didn't. Manny has never agreed on OST. Show me a link.

Let me Google that for you.

great point. manny doesnt feel the need to acquiesce to floyd when he feels he's the top dog in the sport. It doesnt help the fact that floyd & his family basically accused pac of doping as soon as manny beat hatton.

Pride is a very powerful thing. especially to hyper competitive athletes. Manny doesnt want to give floyd the satisfaction of bowing to his demands hence the reason for pac agreeing to tests his sport does not require but to a certain degree.

Manny doesnt want to look like he's bowing down floyd by accepting what floyd wants. That's why he wants the cutoff days so he can say they met in the middle, nobody bowed down to anybody.

The difference is floyd doesnt want to meet manny in the middle. He wants it his way or the highway.

Donaire is right in his analysis.

Spot on but the *****s will just ignore your post. Floyd wants Pac to kneel in his feet masquerading as no cut off days. **** 7 days is much better than 18 days Floyd vs Mosley did but then all the *****s can say is take the test. Dumb idiot! *****s they didn't want the fight to happen. All they care is Pac to kneel in Floyd demands. :****you: Floyd is well known to us as King of the Duck. This battle of Top 5 Elite Welterweights (2007-2010) Floyd is nowhere to be found. If that you don't call a duck then he must be a chicken!

Cotto fought Mosley, Margarito, Clottey and Pac!
Margarito fought Cotto, Mosley, Clottey and Pac!
Clottey fought Cotto, Margarito and Pac!
Mosley fought Cotto, Margarito and now Pac!
Pac fought Cotto, Margarito, Clottey and now Mosley!

Pac only been at welterweight for 1 year and 3 months but then he already fought Cotto, Clottey, Margarito and now Mosley. Its been 5 years since Floyd was in welterweight and guess what.

Let me Google that for you.

He will not click the link. Hopefully Khan move up to welterweight and challenge Pac. I really want to see this fight.

The ignorance of *******s never ceases to amaze me. First of all Mayweather Jr wasnt the biggest draw in the Sport until 2007. How the hell could he have demanded OSDT back in 1996 or 1997. When he didnt even have a world title? I mean seriously, How dumb can you get?

As for the bold. I believe that anyone who falls for Pacquiao's antics is an idiot. His excuses were utterly pathetic. All he was asked to do is prove that he is clean and participate in a fair fight. Which he refused. Mayweather agreed to take the tests also. If he had asked Pacquiao to take the tests on his own, that would have been unfair but Floyd would have been taking them also. Yet Pacquiao refused. Despite $50 million being on the table. Seems fairly obvious to me who the "coward" and "joke" is in this scenario. Pacquiao's fake image is the biggest joke in sports. A supposedly "humble" guy who fights "for the people" and "for legacy" yet refuses to participate in a fair fight. He should be ashamed.

As for Mayweather Jr being convicted for assault? LOL. This has never happened and the current case is only allegations until it's proven to be more than that. I'm very confident that it will be proved as nothing but lies on the part of his ex. Unlike Pacquiao's previous court appearances. In one of which he was ordered to pay off a ********** who he got pregnant while out partying in a brothel.

My dude, I couldn't have said it better. You aced it with nothing but welled documented facts. It says a lot about any man not wanting to see Manny submit to unrestricted testing.

[al-Xander]

Floyd fans need to move on. Martinez is a better option for Floyd.

[Slick_Rick]

No. It's a steroid thing.

No man has too much "pride" to refuse a $50 million drug test.

Yet Floyd is willing to do the same thing when his once purposed, personally deemed acceptable offer by himself of a "compromise" of 14 days is met by Manny, isn't Floyd then also refusing $50 million? And why did the 14 days offer come from? did he just pluck it out of the air? or maybe he was advised on it?

And now that offer is off the table, as Floyd put it, all Manny now needs to do is agree to no cut off and the fight happens?

Seriously do you really 100% believe that it will be that simple? And there is no shred of doubt that infact Floyd just does not want to fight? After all its "easy money" "easy fight" PED or no PEDs, why is Floyd refusing $50 million?

And even if Manny were to agree to no cut off I am 99% sure Floyd will grind his heels and refuse on 50/50 as he has already hinted at before.
