Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Looks like the fight may not happen now. Paq-man won't fight with a olympic style drug testing. One source sited Pacquoiao is a little squemish with giving blood.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Mayweather is being a total sissy, trying to find anyway to get out of this fight. Pac said he would test right after the fight, but he doesn't want to have his blood drawn while he is training.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Shocking! :r

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

For as much as I like Pacquiao, his class, his integrity in the ring and outside. At this point I'm questioning why he won't just say the hell with it and do the olympic style drug testing. The amount of blood they take is miniscule and will not effect oxygen levels in the body.

And being that Mayweather is from Michigan I might have to switch sides :hm

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I've really been looking forward to this match-up! I hope Pac Man silences Mayweather. :) Either way, it should be a great fight. :bx

I would rather fight than switch to Loudmouth Floyd.....and I am from Michigan too. :r

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

:r I love it.

This whole drug testing argument has gotten me thinking. If you are clean why would you not just submit yourself to the testing. If I was Pacquiao I would say yes just to shut up Floyd on the steriods front, and then use it as extra motivation to beat him harder.

I just hope they come to some agreement and we can have the fight!

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I want them to fight too, not sure why Manny is so freaked out about giving blood. But if Floyd's camp is being hardline on this issue, then my guess is Floyd either wants more of the purse, or not to fight Manny at all.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

tsk tsk Mayweather and and his mind games. If it happens at the MGM, I can get tickets :)

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Lemme know if you have an extra, Carl. ;)

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I am trying for four right now, two of them being S.H.I.T. herfers, a friend I work with, and myself. I will contact my Host and beg for another one.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I agree, Christos. Very strange to say the least. The not liking needles argument is moot. If he didn't like needles, would he have gotten a tatoo? In this day in time, I don't think anyone is above reproach when it comes to ped's. Floyd Sr. has said for years that Pac Man takes HGH. With this refusal, it has me wandering. :hm

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Good point on the tattoo. I brought up the oxygen level in blood because athletes won't donate blood during training or before an even because it decreases RBC count therefore hindering oxygen transport through the body. That would be my only logical explanation as another why he wouldn't want to do the blood testing.

Maybe give Pacquiao a few more million out of the purse to get him to do this. I really want to know why he won't do the testing!

FYI

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

BS. There are so many ways to beat a urine test, it funny.

It shouldn't matter how many times they are blood tested as they use such a tiny about of blood. Pac-Man's schedule for wanting to give blood is interesting to me. Should be given at any time, not scheduled.

However, I can see why they would want an independent agency to do the testing though.

It's crap like this has, in part, virtually killed boxing, imo.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I don't expect anything, Carl, I know it would be a tough sell, but if you do, I am there. :D The cigars will be on me as well. :D

Greg, why don't you wander over to my neck of the woods and have some cigars with me while you are at it? :D

You make a good point, I just hope it all gets worked out.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Not sure which one is a bigger douchebag: Mayweather or Pacquiano. Mayweather has a point, but so does Pacqyiono. Makes us pro-wrestling fans look less ignorant all the time.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Calling Mayweather a douchebag is an insult to douchebags. ;)

Pacquiao's promoter is saying the fight is dead. I hope they can get this bs resolved and fight.
