Where did the myth that Manny is "afraid of needles" start?

[PinoyNation]

He has never once said that.

There's already threads on this. He never stated it, I think Arum said something similar and the legion of fanatical Floyd fans ran with it ever since.

It's childish.

Both his trainer and promoter said it. Guess they felt Manny's excuses were too weak.

Do you have a source?

Do you have a source?

Yeah. Try google - won't take you longer than five min to try. Let's be honest though...you don't really wanna find it.

Don't why this is brought up again though. Who gives a fluck.

Koncz says it. Arum didn't want it & neither did Roach I believe.

This is hilarious. Check out Freddie Roach's comments from that article.

"I really don’t care, because Manny doesn’t need Floyd Mayweather. The tests he’s requesting are not commission tests, they’re not boxing tests and this is not an Olympic sport. A urine test is just as qualified as a blood test.”
