What if its PAC who said, "My health is more important than anything"...

Well boxing is a brutal sport. If he does not want to get hurt, Pacquiao will have to do the Mayweather way. Just retire but be quiet.

Floyd is only talking because the Pacquiao camp is talking about him.

the president of the philippines would still make him fight. pac would get murdered if he didnt for makin the pinoys look bad

Their is almost no integrity in sports anymore. Liars and dopers are praised as heroes by naive fans.

This has been my point since the beginning of this "crusade" no matter how much testing Lance has gone through, there are still dumbass haters that choose to think he's a cheat. Notice the guy's eyes when asked strait up if he saw Lance inject EPO. Hella shifty eyes, dude is lying through his teeth. You honestly think the most popular cyclist in the world would shoot up right in front of everyone?!? FFS, dude has tens of thousands of dollars spent for hyperbolic training and/or training in high altitudes. Both training techniques grant the same benefits of EPO.

This pattern will continue with Manny, even if he does take tests, people like you will always doubt him. I think he should still do it but I know exactly whats going to happen next.

Actually, he's talking because Pac's next opponent is pretty much already set in stone.

A question to fellow Pacfans. What would you feel about idol PAC saying money, legacy or whatever isnt the priority but his health when fighting Mayweather?

if pac was noticeably slipping and got in a grueling war like hagler got in with mugabi, then I wouldn't mind...

but if pac said that while he was still in his prime to duck another boxer, that'd be a b!tch move.

[tdawg83]

as long as he simply retired and stayed retired, and didnt make viral videos talking about how much hes going to beat up someone and spout a bunch of inaccurate racial slurs. if they arent total douchbags about it then any fighter can retire any time they want and theres nothing to be mad about

[Roja's480]

just take the blood test manny

[cixthree]

PAC said he just wanted to give the fans a good fight, he doesn't care if he's hurt to the face so health is not an issue LOL.

In saying that, you'd also have to say he wouldn't mind putting something in his body that would allow him to give the fans what they want, even if it risked his health.

[eklok]

i would be let down if he said that but i dont think its gonna happen , if he's too old already then call it quits , theres nothign left to prove

mayweather usually does not cause significant physical injury to opponents.
it ain't his game.

BUT to the hypothetical, if he were to say he were to avoid fighting mayweather due his health then i would respect it. Then he would need
to proceed to retire b/c most professional opponents would cause "health"
problem.
