Why do Pac drones say "Blood drained"?

[cixthree]

Pacquiao loses damn near a pint per fight. He still has energy to give all night concerts after a 12 rnd (almost) WW fight.
And wouldn't Floyd also be "Blood drained"?

And these are the same drones that went on an all out blitz about the "weight drained" argument. WOW!



I know the drones will stick to there wooden swords, but this is pretty much a no brainer to most thinking people I have talked to.

From now on you will be known as drones.
There is no love for the sport of boxing in you, you blindly follow 1.
Have you no shame!

Well you know the only draining that happens in a Pac fight is his opponents weight.

That study is a classic in the annals of research on the "nocebo" phenomenon, the evil twin of the placebo effect. While the placebo effect refers to health benefits produced by a treatment that should have no effect, patients experiencing the nocebo effect experience the opposite. They presume the worst, health-wise, and that's just what they get.

How this applies to pac: Pac believes that drawing blood while cutting weight will effect his performance negatively. why would you want pac to go into the biggest fight of the century less than 100%?

So in a nutshell, his body is not really weak its his mind that is weak?

is ray allen weak minded??

"Allen is second all-time in 3-pointers, 460 shy of Reggie Miller. He has a chance of surpassing Miller, provided he stays healthy, but if he does, it will not be by divine intervention. It will be the result of years of painstaking preparation.

It will also be the byproduct of learning to strike a delicate balance between routine and superstition.

When Allen was small, he recited a familiar rhyme: Step on a crack, break your mother's back. So what happened if you stumbled onto the line? You'd groan, lament your misfortune, then go home for supper.

Not Ray. He would retreat to his room and wait for the sky to fall.

"I had a borderline case of OCD [obsessive compulsive disorder]," Allen explains. "I was never diagnosed, but it was something I was aware of."

This is how Ray Allen's mind works. If there is a speck of paper on the floor in his house, he cannot walk by without picking it up. He has tried. He has purposely marched up the stairs without correcting the glaring imperfection, but he's unable to eliminate the image from his mind until he goes back down, throws the scrap in the wastebasket, and restores order in his home."

look, I don't take one side or another in the argument because I still have faith the fight will get done. At the end of the day thats all I want and what I think most fans want.

But please, stop defending his fear of getting blood drawn- it's obvious pac doesnt want to be told what to do, and that's his right to refuse.

But you cant use a psychological defense for anything in boxing because we as fans will tear you up- 75% of boxing is mental and arguably the best p4p boxer has a phobia thats gonna keep him from earning what he's worked so hard to achieve?

People have fears my man, they face them or they dont right?
Pacquiao to me doesnt seem like a man who doesnt face his fears but he does seem like a man who doesnt like being told what to do.

I hope there isnt a Muhammad Ali, SRR, PAC or Floyd that develops Paruresis because we would all lose out on a great fighter because he couldnt pee in public.

Paruresis is a type of phobia in which the sufferer is unable to urinate in the (real or imaginary) presence of others, such as in a public restroom.

It's a part of their list of excuses that *******s would use if they were to see their amazing Pacquiao lose to Mayweather.

It's less then a teaspoon. A simple sample.

That is valid. I think that instead of that perhaps all his food could be sampled or something. Of course then there is this: how far is too far? I don't want the tail wagging the dog either.

Scrutiny of the best fighter on the planet is to be expected. The difficulty is that Pacquiao has a superstition that could be real whether or not he is innocent. If he is innocent, then cheaters might use the 'psyche' excuse not to be tested. If he is guilty, then of course it exacerbates the response and we get boxers enduring draconian measures for about a decade or so.

Whatever the case, we cannot lay this squarely on Mayweather's shoulders at this point. Cheaters of the past are to blame for the current situation. Greed, avarice and the hunger for glory are to blame, not just Mayweather.

Also, how badly would Pacquiao have to offend in order to JUSTIFY a test in his fans' view?
