Is it really true that Manny Pacquiao wants to ban condoms in the Philippines?

[KitangKatag]

it's like they're content with what "mini me" or what some fathead in a suit on TV tells them rather than gather and assess the information themselves, as what any objective fan (person) should yet, we continue to get these clueless twats coming on this board spitting their half-assed opinions, day in and day out. it's appalling.

You know better than what is being spewed out from the media? dont tell me you gather your info through floyd and pacs inner circles? do tell-- im sure it will benefit other people here as well.

yes it's true only him and his wife are allowed to use them and no more blood tests are to be performed in his village..the congressman said so.

So Ross Greenburg lied when he confirmed that there was indeed talks between both camps --contrary to floyd, shafter and elerbes claimed that it didn't?

Nobody really knows who's lying when it comes to the 2nd and 3rd negotiations but one thing I do know is the the first negotiation was OFFICIAL and Manny Pacquiao ducked out to fight the loser and always coming up short Joshua Clottey, for lesser cash. That is called a duck my friend.

Pacquiao and Mayweather had agreed to unlimited random urine testing, but Mayweather also insisted on random blood testing, even though the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which would oversee the bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, requires only urine testing.

Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs) didn't want blood testing but later relented and agreed to three blood tests: one during the week of the kickoff news conference, which would have taken place next week, one random test to be conducted no later than 30 days before the fight and a final test in his dressing room after the fight. Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) would be subject to the same testing procedures.

When they could not come to an agreement, Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, which represents Mayweather, turned to a mediator, retired judge Daniel Weinstein, who had successfully mediated a series of disputes between Top Rank and Golden Boy in 2007.

But after nine hours in mediation on Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., and further attempts to come to a resolution on Wednesday failed, the fight was pronounced dead by the Pacquiao camp.

"take the test, pac!" says floyd.
"you're next, pac!" says floyd.

all talk no balls.

can't even enter pac negotiations.

arum is right on target.

I think Floyd's fear of Pac is genuine. Can't really fault the guy for that. Seems to me that drug testing is not the issue. It's lack of balls.

LOL... I can see it now... If/when Pac accepts terms... betting odds will triple in Floyd's favor....

Who's terms? Floyd's? What a ***in joke. Everything thats gone before is dead. All this backwards and forward bs in the media isnt getting this fight happening. In order for this fight to happen both parties need to talk directly to each other, state their positions and thrash a deal out from there. You are a ***ing idiot if you cant understand something so simple.

According to Arum, Manny Pacquiao is pure entertainment. Nobody expects his opponents to win but rather just to come see Manny fight. Think I'm being a ***** by saying this? Hmmmm.... Well, just ask Arum himself.....

"Manny is not dull. He is the aggressor. He is an entertaining fighter and I believe that most people that bought the fight tonight bought it not with the expectation that Shane Mosley was going to win," said Arum of Pacquiao, who was coming off of November's unanimous decision over Antonio Margarito.

"They bought the Antonio Margarito fight not because they thought that he was going to win, but because they wanted to be entertained by Manny Pacquiao," said Arum. "Manny is a great fighter. That's why people are buying his fights now. He has achieved greatness."

Why Manny Pacquiao fans continue to cosign Pac is beyond me. his own promoter said that he is matching Pac against no hopers. Lets see what Arum had to say about Shane Mosley prior to the fight....

"I did and I read them saying Mosley was huffing and puffing for air in the fourth or fifth round," Arum said. "To me, that is the real tipoff for an aging fighter. Even Big George Foreman did that in his 40s but he always had that big, big punch like in the (Michael) Moorer fight.

"What I've read is not very supportive to make any Mosley-Pacquiao bout. Look, he's going to be 40 and he's in the lighter weights where speed is so important. He's on a show with guys (example, 20 year old Saul Canelo Alvarez) old enough to be his son.
