The Pacquiao-Mayweather fight is expected to be the highest grossing PPV in the history of boxing if ever the fight will be settled. But due to blood test disputes, it seems that the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight will remain as a dream forever.
We’ve heard both sides. At first, Team Pacquiao rejected to undergo a series of blood test. Pacquiao’s refusal to the drug test draws controversy so he finally agreed to unlimited urine testing and at least three blood test. The first test is planned early this January, second test is 30 days before the fight, and last test right after the fight. But still, Mayweather’s camp is not satisfied. Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer said that he wanted to have a blood test done at less than 30 days before the fight because they believed that having a blood test done in 30 days is no longer effective. Top Rank CEO Bob Arum gave them an ultimatum that if they didn’t agree with their final decision it will be the end of their negotiations. Mayweather’s camp is still strong with their stand so Top Rank is negotiating with Yuri Foreman as Pacquiao’s next opponent.
Even though Pacquiao agreed with the blood test, boxing fans all over the world wants to know why Pacquiao wants the blood test to be done in 30 days before the fight. Some suspected that Pacquiao really takes performance-enhancing drugs. Some people also assumed that undergoing a blood test does not really affect boxer’s performance in the fight and some other people even compare it their boxing fight to Olympic games. “Mayweather will undergo a blood test so why Pacquiao is so afraid?” And this made Pacquiao a little bit disappointed.
Pacquiao never failed any drug test on his professional career. For the past ten years, he has only one loss and that was against Erik Morales. So what’s the connection of Erik Morales in Pacquiao-Mayweather fight? It seems that the Morales team strategy is something that Mayweather’s camp have discovered to beat Pacquiao.
THE HOLE: MORALES TEAM STRATEGY EXPOSED PACQUIAO’S WEAKNESS
Here’s a video taken on March 2005 after the first encounter of Manny Pacquiao and Erik Morales:
It was a post fight interview made by a Filipino newscaster named “Puno” regarding Pacquiao’s defeat against Morales.
Pacquiao discussed about the blood test done before the fight. Puno asked why does the Nevada State Commission insists to have a blood test done. Pacquiao said that he will not be permitted to fight Morales if he will not pass the blood test. Pacquiao explained that one month before the fight, Nevada State Commission rushed him to have a medical exam. He said that they needed his blood for medical requirements. He went back to training and before the weigh-in, he didn’t eat and didn’t even drink because he was in the exact weight. Then two days before the fight, NSAC called him to have a blood test again. Pacquiao said that he already underwent a blood test but NSAC said that the records were lost according to the doctor. Coach Freddie Roach with his manager Shelly were wondering why the NSAC did not have his medical records. According to Pacquiao, he have spoken to a certain doctor and said that it’s impossible for NSAC to lose his record because it is a well-established institution. Pacquiao felt something wrong and he thought that it was a tactic against him. He said that he felt dizzy 30 minutes after the blood was taken from him. He said that his nape was very painful. The doctor advised him to drink a lot of water but because he’s in a diet and controlling the amount of food and water he intake in order not to exceed the weight limit, he just lay down and have a body massage. During the actual fight, he is weak and he knows that he will not be able to knock out Morales. Puno said that Morales said in an interview that he never felt any of Pacquiao’s power punches. Pacquiao said that Morales didn’t know that he is weak and that he didn’t have the strength to win.
The incident regarding the loss documents of Pacquiao was never investigated nor brought to the media here in the U.S. or other parts of the world. We can say that his issues were never heard because he was not that too famous at that time. Now that Pacquiao have established his name as the world’s greatest boxer, every little incident that happened to him matters like the issue on his the blood test refusal.
Whether it is true or not true that Morales camp really plotted this blood test incident, the bottom line here is that it proves that Pacquiao was just preventing this thing to happen again on his fight against Mayweather. Mayweather’s camp cannot deny that they don’t know this incident. They might have seen the hole in order to destroy Pacquiao. This may be the closest reason why they really insist the Olympic style random blood test done less than 30 days before the fight.
What is Mayweather’s camp main reason why they insist to take Pacquiao’s blood less than 30 days before the fight? If they are suspecting that Pacquiao is taking performance-enhancing drug, then Pacquiao would love to have his blood taken right after the fight. Is there any difference from having a blood test taken less than 30 days from having a blood test taken right after fight?
What do you think?

@Floyd Fans OK
“As for the Un-Informed guy who calls Americans “Dumb” , Please DONT FORGET, We Americans SAVED YOUR COUNTRY!! Mc Aurthur DID RETURN,
(as He Promised) And, you Live in America? So Please, Be a Bit More Respectful, and choose your words wisely, friend! There are Alot of “Good” (smart also) Americans!!”
Saved the country during WW2? You’re partially right! However, you fail to mention that the reason the US saved the Philippines is because we were under the American rule that time! We were an American Terrirory! That’s why the US saved us back then. If the Philippines wasn’t an American Territory back then, you Americans won’t even save us from flu. Am I right? Same as if Delaware got attacked today, the US will save it. Please do your research first before writing something ignorant!!! And yeah, you Americans would ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS bring up the “WE SAVED YOU FROM GERMANS, JAPANESE, RUSSIANS, COMMIES, TERRORISTS, et al CRAP!” Which is not really true. The Americans WILL ALWAYS go into war with someone that they know they’ll get something in return. Don’t believe for one second that the US would go to war, just for democracy’s sake? Gimme a break!
Anyway, back to Pacman. Floyd and Floyd Fans will NEVER, and I mean, NEVER accept the fact that Pacman WILL destroy Floyd, it’s just a fact. Time and time again, Manny has proven that he can rumble and beat the BEST in boxing. And that’s a fact.
Peace.
Blood test taken immediately after the fight is as good as blood test taken before the fight. The only reason the Mayweather camp wants the blood drawn before the fight is to weaken Pacquiao both physically and psychologically. Mayweather is a great fighter and people will always remember him as the fighter who refused to fight Pacquiao. In other words, Floyd Jr is a big coward. He will remain undefeated because there is no risk in fighting opponents he knows he can beat. It’s time to grow up Floyd.
@ Floyd Fans OK
Gen. Mac Arthur should have bypassed the Philippines. By doing so, he could have avoided thousands of casualties.
His decision to “Return to the Philippines” serves more as a “Political Gain” rather than a Strategic one. Even the American Military Hierarchy was against Mc Arthur’s plans but eventually went along with him because Mc Arthur has Truman’s ears.
If you only tried to read more, you could have understood better.

go to back ww2. pls
stop posting non sense. theres no conection between athletics and WW2.
give some respect to pacquaio, he marked up the boxing history.
and i thnk the writer of dis article is american
i think mayweather is cheaters…….
With the said comments above… This thing should be settled way before there should be no problem with the said Drug test… but the thing is as other guys said… there is no difference in taking the Drug test after the fight so its much better to settle the things this way take the USADA testing after the fight so you will know if there is PED… but if Pac destroys Gayweather…. without PED then he better shut his loud mouth…. together with Gayweather SR, and JR.,..,,
I know what Mayweather’s legacy gonna be….. a big coward.
What’s the DIFFERENCE in taking the bloodtest immediately after the fight???
That to mee is the SELLING POINT…..but why did Floyd refused such a condition is beyond me.
floyd needs to quit making excuses and man up….I think he beats pacman no matter what circumstances are there and if he stops making excuses and gets in the ring he will outbox pacman for twelve rounds..Floyd wins fight no matter what…To quick on his feet and way to slic for pacman….But dont get me wrong i would love to see his cocky ass get knocked out…lol…
I dont think any of you know what you’re talking about.
Pacquia has only had fights with slower fighter. And fighter who are easey targets. And they all fight his fight. But no fighter has ever been able to make Mayweather not fight his fight. That like tyson he finished fighters in one round most of the time.
But Ali took a little longer, some went the whole 12 or 15 rounds. But there is know way Tyson could have beat Ali. Hollyfield vs Tyson , Hollyfield didn’t have many early round knockouts. But he beat Tyson. You can’t Pacquiao is a great fighter, but you have to be crazy to think he’s just gonna walk over Mayweather. Most of you just don’t like Mayweather because of his big mouth.. you must remember that white amera didn’t like Ali because his mouth……I’m saying make you comments based on how well each fighter fights. Not because you don’t like him. Me myself am a fan of both fighters.
And what if Pacquiao is `CLEAN`?
Boxing has always been plagued with `what ifs`. What if Ali and Tyson had met in the ring, each in his prime? What if Cotto`s team had properly checked Margarito`s gloves before their fight? What if such and such a judge had bought himself a new pair of spectacles the day of yet another crazy decision? What if, what if, what if! These questions can never be fully answered. They can haunt us, and remain as cruelly tantalizing after twenty years as they were the first day. The latest `what if` that has stormed the boxing world is `what if Pacquiao has been using PEDs or steroids?` Even longtime, faithful Pacquiao fans must have asked themselves, although probably in the privacy of their most inner selves, what if it`s true. What if Pacquiao has always been a cheat, his whole boxing career nothing more than a second-rate, shabby sham?
All boxing fans, must have given at least some thought to this question. The press has written what must amount to the equivalent of 100 War and Peaces exploring the possibility of Pacquiao juicing. In this article I wish to explore another, different `what if`. Because we must all by now have some level of doubt as to Pacquiao`s fair play, I think that it is in the interest of a balanced and open-minded view that we have a closer look at the alterative scenario. What if Pacquiao is clean?
Pacquiao in his early days was a very different fighter to the one we see before us today. He was a light, slight southpaw, had a truckload of confidence and self-belief, and a devastating straight left that put an early end to many a boxers` ambitions. Yet his confidence cost him dearly. His two early defeats can be put down to overconfidence. He lost to less talented fighters who caught him unawares as he played `cock of the ring`. While he definitely had talent, his losses underlined his need for more boxing skills, and more importantly, the need for a really good trainer. Both came to him later when he teamed up with Freddie Roach.
Roach took the raw diamond that was Pacquiao, and with all the skills and attention to detail of a master jeweler, shaped him to become the brilliant jewel of a boxer we see today. Pacquiao`s boxing arsenal has been transformed from a `one-shot-wonder` to that of an all-round, great boxer. Today it seems he can do just about anything in the ring. As far as I know there is no drug that can give you skills you don`t have, that is the work of a trainer.
There is a very good reason why Pacquiao and Roach get along so well. At some stage in his career Pacquiao must have admitted to himself that he was simply not a good enough boxer to become a legend. While most boxers would rather die than to have to admit to a shortcoming, Pacquiao obviously did. He knows he needs Roach, and he respects him enough to listen to every word he says. How many times, while watching a fight, have you heard a trainer telling his fighter in the corner between rounds to double up his jab or keep his hands up or some such, only to find that in the following round the obviously good advice has fallen on deaf ears, and the boxer goes right on doing what he should not be doing? More than once or twice I have been pleasantly surprised to hear Roach telling Pacquiao to do something different in the next round, and lo and behold, Pacquiao does exactly what he has been told. The best trainer in the world will achieve nothing with a boxer who won`t listen to him. Roach is as a brilliant trainer as Pacquiao is a trainee.
So, back to the `what ifs`; what if` the reason Pacquiao defeated Hatton had nothing to do with drugs, but was because he learned to use both left and right hooks, neither of which he used in his early years? And `what if` the only PED that Pacquiao has ever used is Mr. Freddie Roach, one of the best Performance Enhancing Dudes in the business? `
Michael Moorer gives us valuable insight into boxing, and particularly into training; “I see these guys that half-ass fight, and some of them down here in training, they half-ass train, and that`s not how I was brought up.” For Moorer training is obviously the key to success in boxing. He goes on to tell us how unbelievably hard Pacquiao trains. “I witnessed him go 26 rounds, nonstop hitting the mitts. That`s phenomenal. He just strives to be the best.” He also tells us of Pacquiao`s work ethic and his will to win, all in the most flattering of terms. Moorer was a world champion and is now a trainer, so his thoughts on the subject definitely carry weight. He has proved himself to be an honest, straight-talking guy with loads of integrity. That`s good enough for me.
So `what if` Moorer is right, and Pacquiao`s success comes from such a high level of hard work, discipline, and dedication, that steroids are simply unnecessary?
In many ways Pacquiao`s hunger for success in not as surprising as it may seem. In Pacquiao we have all the elements of the ultimate fairytale, `rags to riches` story. The lowly street urchin who makes it big in a world he may never even have dreamed of as a child. It is a well known fact that a disproportionate number of self-made success stories find their roots in deprived backgrounds. Could it be that the sting of near starvation once felt will forever haunt and drive a man, and may even drive him to exceptional greatness? Perhaps being born into abject poverty gives the lucky ones who manage to escape a sense of steely, stubborn self-determination that makes them fight every second of their existence to never have to return. Can we conceive that Pacquiao feels that he has a sacred `duty` to pay back for his good fortune by being the greatest boxer he can, and then to use his fame and fortune to help his fellow countrymen get a fairer deal than he got as a child? Could that be what has driven him to the top? Why not?
`What if` Pacquiao`s success is a result of an exceptional drive inherited from his background, and not some `two-day-washout` designer drug?
So why did Pacquiao refuse to take the damned tests? Pacquiao knows, the rest of us can only speculate. I feel that it is a combination of things. First and foremost he refused point-blank to get pushed around by Mayweather. Understandable! Secondly he did not want his all important training schedule interrupted by unannounced, invasive blood takes which could have weakened him at a time he needed all his strength. Thirdly he may believe that Mayweather needs this fight more than he does. Mayweather is reportedly close to broke. Even if Pacquiao only makes 10 million dollars from his fight with Clottey, 10 million dollars in Pacquiao`s hands in the Philippians is probably the equivalent of 100 million dollars in Mayweather`s hands in the US. Pacquiao took the best welterweight challenge available for March 13, leaving Mayweather with very little choice of landing himself a convincing match. This could all be part of a plan so that team Pacquiao can dictate terms if, and when negotiations are reopened between the two teams.
To those who claim that Pacquiao`s refusal to take the random blood tests is conclusive proof of his guilt, I ask you, `what if` one or all of the above are the real reasons why Pacquiao refused the tests, not because he is dirty?
It is very easy to understand why so many people have jumped on this `Manny`s a juicer` bandwagon. Our world has evolved into a cynical, dark place. In recent years we have been repeatedly betrayed by our elected leaders who have been serving their own nasty little agendas rather than serving the common good. Some of the Churches we worshiped in have fallen into damnable disgrace. Huge pharmaceutical companies have been caught doing far more harm to people`s heath than good. Soulless corporations bloody-mindedly and shamelessly rape our world. These days nothing more is sacred. Nothing is as it seems. Honesty has become rarer than the finest of gold.
And yet, `what if`, `WHAT IF` for once something was as it should be? `WHAT IF` Manny Pacquiao is simply the best boxer of his generation, no drugs required? Is that really so hard to believe? I hope not, and, call me a helpless romantic if you will, but I actually find it easy to believe the beautiful, magical, amazing story of the skinny little slum-kid who conquered the world.
Dezzie Lightbulb
2 issues you people are talking about Gen. D. MacArthur and Floyd Mayweather are in no way interconnected, so, stop the analogy, comparison, compassion for america. if its about boxing, stick with that subject. no sense in bringing back history to a very different topic.
going back to the real issue, in my opinion, pacqiuao if he really is not hiding anything should submit to what the other party’s request is asking if they are willing to do exactly the same as what they are asking.
if mayweather’s camp will go a week before the fight and after the fight then that is fair. if they want one month, one week before the fight and after the fight as long as their fighter is also subjected to the same test as pacqiuao then i feel that it is fair and should be up held.
regarding to pacman using the juice, i think there is some truth into it. i don’t believe that a boxer no matter what he does will get that strong and defined that quick especially when he fought ricky hutton. if you watch closely he fought marquez twice and you can see his structure being lean but not buffed. when he fought hutton and cotto you can see a very big difference in his body build.
i think that mosley would kick the hell out of pacman if given a chance. i know pacman is good but he is not that good without the help of some juice. then again its only my opinion like anyone else posted here
For those people telling the world that drawing blood doesn’t affect the ability of boxer or perhaps any athlete is simply not true.We can say that majority probably will not have any effect to their performance.It’s a proven fact that some people get drowsy and weaken when they got their blood drawn.I have seen people in the doctor’ laboratory clinic almost collapse .They are vomitting after taking sample of blood from them and to do it randomly is little bit crazy.It will take many hours or perhaps days to get back to normal.Pacquiao willingness to get his blood drawn after the fight is sufficient enough to track any performance enhancing drugs in his system……..and that ladies and gentlemen are the truth.Bottom line, to many excuses from Floyd already.I dont respect him any more.Many doesn’t need him…….period.
manny is just too strong… he must be on steroids!!…. nyahahaha… gayweather??! or mayfeather??!… chicken!!!
hahaha…Manny does not have to take it 30 mins before the fight its only within 30 days he has to take it out. No excuse. We all know that when you withdraw blood within 24HRS after rehydrating and eating the blood is back in your system. Pacquiao is making excuses lol Mayweather will crush him guaranteed. Manny’s an amazing boxer but Mayweather is unstoppable at the moment
pac was passed every single test in NSAC.
somebody has failed……
isn’t mayflower questioning the credibilty NSAC
or salvaging the fight….
mayflower ducked mosley, margarito, pwilliams and cotto (bigger fighters)
now he ducked smaller fighter (pacquiao)
whos cheater and fruad???
why not have the boxing association, settle the regulations regarding drug testing and both will just have to agree. just like any other sport, abide or lose your title. does boxing even have such organization? had this been any other sport, teams or individuals simply do not have a choice who their opponents will be. a deserving challenger fights the champion and current champion fights to keep his title. no exception to this rule. so, what happened to the boxing organization?
Manny Pacquiao; Miguel Cotto; Bernard Hopkins; Arthur Abraham; Chad Dawson; Yuriokis Gamboa; Paul Williams; Sergio Martinez; Kelly Pavlik; Antonio Margarito (loaded gloves aside) — MAYBE a few others — are fighters who will fight ANYBODY in their weight division (or 1-2 weight divisions north or south of theirs).
Floyd would NOT fight Margarito, Shane, Cotto, or Williams(when Williams fought @ 147). Now he won’t fight Manny because of some B.S. request that he has made WITH NO OTHER FIGHTER HE’S FACED! Blood after the fight is as telling as blood 3 weeks before the fight. I know this because my sister-in-law told me — she’s a hematologist (blood expert). That being said, Manny should give a half vial 3 weeks before the fight just to put it to rest. That’s all they need to check for what they’re looking for according to the sexy hematologist my brother married.
Floyd is an athletic talent, no question, and he’s an excellent fighter, but he’s just not the man that Pacquiao, Cotto, Mosley, Hopkins, Abraham, Williams, Martinez, Pavlik are — OH, and let’s not forget Vernon Forrest, who kept fighting after complete reconstructive surgery on his left arm, two surgeries on his shoulder to repair a torn rotator cuff and one on his left elbow to repair torn cartilage and nerve damages. And STILL fought anybody who was next in line.
These guys may not be undefeated, but they fought anyone and everyone who wanted a piece of them. All of Floyd’s money can’t buy him the balls and stand-up machismo those guys have (or had). His flash is boring, and old compared to the magic Manny and Cotto brought to the ring this past November. That was better than watching two lions going to war on Animal Planet.
I heard boxing experts ask the question “who would win? Floyd or Sugar Ray Leonard?” — it’s a stupid question. The real question is who was the real bad ass between the two? Which guy fought the toughest, meanest fighters at the top of their game? We know the answer to that one, and he never asked Tommy Hearns for a blood test.
First of all the bllod test that Manny took was not a drug test. It was a routine test for hepatitis and probably aides. The amount of blood taken is undisclosed at this point in my investigation of the facts. All the excuses of the Morales fight should have no bering on the currant dispute. The blood test is called out as a factor in the fight but no mention of blood lost during fight from a cut over Mannys right eye. The current dispute is about whither Olympic type random drug testing should be done in Boxing. If you say no then u r against it and visa-versa. The Mayweather camp is requiring Floyd’s opponents to have this type of testing before a fight with him. He in turn will also be doing the testing. If Pacquiao doesn’t like the requirement then he will not fight Mayweather. In todays world of PED’s everyone should be for testing.
@Jake I think all of us here know what we are talking about. Well I dont know about you!!!! FIrst of all we don’t care if you are white, black, brown, yellow, red or what ever your colour you may have. You can’t compare Mayweather to Muhamad Ali . Ali has style, he talks too much but he ment what he said. And the good thing about Ali, he wasnt scared to face anybody. He didnt make any excuses not to fight his opponents. He didn’t request for any blood test. Ali has self-steem and Mayweather doesn’t. You can tell when Mayweather had his interview…Get it???
First off, it’s not up to Floyd to decide what testing protocals are to be followed or administered! This is a blatent excuse to get out of the fight period. The Nevada Boxing Commision (or where else the fight happened to be) is the governing body that decides the protocal.
Second, Manny has stated he’s willing to have the blood drawn right after the fight! If in fact there’s any problem, then the result (Floyd getting whipped) is negated. So what’s the problem Floyd? This is nothing more than Floyd trying to get a mental advantage. Floyd has ducked allot of fighters in the past (in his own weight class) and correct me if I’m wrong but Manny has never ducked anyone and in fact has stepped up in weight class several divisions to make the fights happen starting with his pummeling of Oscar, who thought he’d go out (retire) with a win against a much smaller opponent! Wrong! He took a beat down as did Hatton and Cotto(another Floyd dodge) too! Floyd is flat out afraid to fight Pacman and should be known as the wimp that he is. That’s what his legacy will be. Man Up Floyd and stop with the excuses. Mayweather fights are boring anyways. Paquiao fights are always exciting to watch. Grow a pair Floyd and show the world that you’re not the woose you seem to be.
If Mayweather was, in fact, doing this b/c he knew a late blood test would weaken pacquiao, why would he make it so blatantly obvious to pacquiao that he’s aware of this “weakness.” It would have been just as easy for pacquiao to point out that Mayweather is a p*ssy b/c he’s intentionally trying to fight a weakened opponent. At least in the Morales fight, it was made to look accidental, and still ppl are blaming Morales. Secondly, if i wasn’t eating or drinking days before a fight, I’d feel pretty friggin weak too. How many other boxers have complained about feeling weak days after having blood taken out of them? Either A, they weren’t starving themselves or B, blood is more important to pacquiao than other boxers. Or C, Pacman was coming up with a b.s. excuse to why he LOST the fight.
@ tino
You obviously did not read the article correctly. Pacquiao is subject to a RANDOM blood test within 30 days of the fight. SO that means that he can be tested the night before the fight if they wanted to. Most boxers do not eat or drink before the fight because they are trying to lose/maintain weight for the requirement so how will he regain his strength in time for the fight? And like everyone else said, what’s the difference is he does a blood test one day before the fight or immediately after? They would still be able to detect performance enhancing drugs. In my opinion, Mayweather is scared of losing and if he truly thinks that Pacquiao is using steroids or something of the sort, he would and should be satisfied with a blood test following the fight.
i know how pacman feels after a blood test cause me too gets dizzy right after one.. yes its really weakening, and makes me wanna vomit.
i have nothing against this article, but the question should be, whats the difference of having a blood test at the end of the fight from having it before. If you want to catch
manny p. taking the drugs then it should be after the very moment of the fight..
why before? so whats mayweather camp’s intention?
we know mayweather’s team they will do everything to have a sure win. like what they did to manuel marquez. they could know they can aford to pay the penalty for exceeding every pounds during the weigh in. they will take every evil advantage as long as they will win. As what mayweather always says ” its not just a boxing, its business” ….he don’t care about legacy he cares about his record “being unbeatable” and this is part of the business. that’s why his very careful of picking his opponent. Guys why manny will bend from what mayweather’s want? who’s the champ and who’s the challenger? who is the boxer of the year and boxer of the
decade? who is the 2nd greatest boxer of all time? who is floyd demanding or changing the rules (blood testing) in boxing? Floyd is a great boxer and evil businessman….that’s all folks
Mayweather is a giant pussyy he already knows he will lose thats why he dosn’t want to fight, and now hes trying to cheat to. stupid arse.
Mayweather is more mouth than talent!!! He is going to fight Shane Moseley who has been caught taking steriods in his past fights, but has he requested Mosely take those test before the fight? Not that I know of!!! So if Mosely isnt being asked to do it, then GAYWEATHER THE MOUTH is just trying to get in Pacquiao’s head………Bad mistake to piss a Philippino off, Pacquiao is gonna whip his ass badly!!!
MAYWEATHER’s MOUTH IS BIGGER THAN HIS GAME!!!!! cant wait for the PUNK to be silenced by Mosely!!!!!!!!!

Pacquiao may claim the blood test before the Morales fight was the reason he lost but that is not scientifically true. Superstition is not a valid argument. He lost more blood during the fight than from a test. Mayweather specifically proposed a 14 day cut off period. Pacquiao walked away from that. Blood drawn 14 days before a fight would have no impact whatsoever. Pacquiao is rattled by Mayweather and dodged him.
To All Alligators (people who allege falsely towards another person without any single piece of evidence):
First of all, Filipino athletes do not do drugs. Have you ever heard of any Filipino athlete who has been involved in any kind of PEDs? NOPE! NADA! So shut the F$$$up!
Fight between pacman and mayweather cancelled is because both had reason that is true. But i believe mayweather is not scared to pacman the true behind that mayweather is not yet ready to fight pacman period he is not 100% good condition to fight the boxer like manny pacman. And i believe also pacman is clean very clean cause he did not refused to have blood test for many times. But if you think very well pacman say he can give also a blood test after the fight w/c is necesary evidence to know if he cheat or not. I think this is good point to understand because if he cheat and win his moral and fans all over the worlds is gone and if he lose mayweather should be proud more beacause he beat the cheater boxer who had a steroid think it very well mayweather fans and team.
naunsa man mo uy! iba ang saykological effect kng makuhaan ka ug dugo sa fight mismo because of cuts than sa blood extration due to some routine testing. in my opinion mas ok right after the fight. ano mywither? pacman is a good and clean fighter…afraid to be cleaned up mywither????? JON SAYS balid to uy….mywither, just fight if a fighter, run if you are a runner, buff if are mr. buffer….he ha ho. mywither never been hit with a power punch like pacman has.pls dont try mywither jr. interpreter pls. sorry im just an ant. mcarthur? he biglang nag WW2 @floyd fans ok?? are you seryos? when was u during the WW2? nagbitay pa sa itlog tatay nimo? know have no idea what happened to the pinoy after the so called mc’s return…. alam namin PINOY AKO/KAMI PINOY>>>>mcarthur ka jan.
need interpreter of the above comment please! cant say the exact words, im in the state of shock because of mayweather’s alibis.
Gayweather – he’s nothing but a trash talker just to prove that he’s not afraid of
Pacman. its like he’s insisting the “mayweather-athletic-commision”-rule and terribly doubted his boxing skills in facing the Pacman.
Pacquiao believes in hardwork and speak with his fists inside the ring while
Mayweather talks faster as the game didn’t start yet.
Indeed Floyd is one of the greatest fighter not until when he’s about to face the Pacman. Brave enough in making excuses. big mouth talking CHICKEN.
you’re absolutely right frankstuff,… mayweather must let his fist do the talking inside the ring not his bubbly mouth.
[...] Read Pacquiao's Refusal On Blood Test [...]
Pacquaio seems legit when he speaks of the weakness he got from blood testing. Mayweather sounds like a slickster whenever he opens his mouth. All of the analysts and their opinions, but it comes down to “who to believe?” I believe Pacquaio.
Mayweather v Pacquiao? BFD if you’re a real fight fan. 2 small guys flailing at one another with big puffy gloves. I can tell you what will happen. Pac-Man will attempt to engage Mouthrunner who will implement his track meet strategy and use his speed to jab at Pac-Man thereby registering a higher ratio of punches landed to punches thrown. The judges will be completely oblivious to Pac-Man’s aggression, ring control, etc. and CompuBox will again decide the “winner” as we mere mortals will see 2 sweaty but unblemished chaps neither of whom will look as though they’ve been in a fight—’cause really, they haven’t (unless you deem a pillow “fight” as an actual brawl as well—Gollynads, I wanna yawn just thinking about it zzzzzzzzzzzzzz). If you want to see a real fight, be really entertained and even excited as you view, tune in to an MMA event with a decent fight card. Watch Machida-Rua II or GSP-Hardy or Carwin-Mir or anybody versus Lesnar, Anderson Silva, BJ Penn, Wanderlei Silva, Clay Guida and many other Mixed Martial Artists who rev fan blood pressure.
P.S. Boxing WAS exciting when the greatest fighter of all time stepped into the ring. i refer of course to the peerless, awesome , Iron Mike Tyson. He came to fight. Yes, he possessed great ‘boxing” skills but his approach rarely let a fight go on for very long ’cause real fights don’t last long. If they go on and on, you can be sure neither participant is really fighting ‘cause if one of them was, the fight would be over—and that was the way Iron Mike handled it. His fights ended in record time ‘cause he respected nobody and everyone, rightfully, feared him ‘cause he was a human wrecking ball. His attitude, translated into text, would be something like: “I’m gonna use all I got to tear your head off. If you happen to get lucky an’ catch me—who cares? ‘cause I sure don’t. It probably ain’t gonna happen anyway an’ I’ma go home with millions for a few minutes work”. And that’s the way it usually went except that Mike, despite his ferocity versus other pro boxers, was no match for a crazy b—h like Robin Givens. Once he became tangled in the mess she helped him make of his life, he lost to 42-1 underdog Buster Douglas, creating the biggest upset in fight history.
