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

[Iceta Lives]

Your *******ation has reached astronomical proportions. Lol.

[twosweethooks]

Reading the first page is enough to make you puke.

I know many of you are pure numbn*ts and can't help it BUT:

Pac would never give the edge to Jailbird

Pac has NO reason to take extra test.

How many times does it take to say Pac has NEVER FAILED A TEST ?????

You may say just take the test, but in the same vein one can say to Jailbirdweather just drop the test

and lets get it on !!

But Jailbirdweather and his followers just get on here and POUT like little babys,,,,,,,

So Mayweather is playing mind games by asking for OSDT? So is Manny playing mind games by asking for 1 mil per pound over? Or what about asking others to drop in weight?
I really don't know if it's Pac as much as his team that have made those demands. But surely that would fall in the mind games/drain opponent category.

It is because Floyd has been fined 600k for cheating on JMM as simple as that.;

Ring size, Glove Size, catchweights are very minor things... that usually done by fighters from time to time...

But being accused of cheating using illegal drugs is a different thing especially for filipinos like Pacquiao who have built their reputation purely on hardwork... I have already said this before...that one important aspect of filipino culture (especially fiipinos those who are raised up in the Philippines) is to take their pride and honor seriously...

you have to study the history of filipinos who take pride of their hardwork how their pride usually takes so much of them.

Then takw the test and pass and have all the pride his PED inflated head can carry

No. It's a steroid thing.

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

[LeadUppercut]

I like Donaire, but that's plain ******. It's because Mayweather is asking huh? Come on Nonito!

Think about the consequences of refusing a drug test as a well known top athlete, think about it for a minute. Now, is that really worth your pride?

Exactly !!

Team Pacquiao provided 6 different excuses as to why Manny would not submit to random blood testing without a 24-day cutoff, and unbelievably, "pride" was one of them.

Personally, I thought that was rubbish, and dismissed it immediately.

I thought that the latest reason that Team Pacquaio gave was the one that they decided to settle on? "It weakens me"?

No ?

I can't remember, I lost track after awhile.

Sorry Nonito, you're ma boy, but I aint buyin that one bro.

[M.I.C.]

You know if Nonito says anything negative about Manny, every single island in the Philippines will disown him.


That's why Rachel's there to complain about not having birthday invites.

thats coz he aint a b1tch like floyd needing extra testing just to get in there with him......

A blood test is all he had to take to get at Floyd but he refuses therefore Floyd is a *****? ******* logic is an amazing thing

I dont recall "because Floyd asked" as being one of their excuses but we can make that number 7! Obviously this request cant come from the biggest PPV Fighter in the world, it should come from a lesser fighter then Pac would do it with no problem? Right?

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.

OK, that's fine..... I accept your " excuse ".

Now, Manny can retain his " pride ".

But he will miss out on a $50mil fight, and will forever be labeled a drug cheat.

Sounds about right to me.

No, wait.....

Ummm..... are you sure you gave that subject much thought ?
