It is pussy bullshit. But it isn't made up. Like the actual reason pac is giving for not fighting.
He's superstitious about that shit. I don't respect it, but I understand it. Or he's taking drugs that are only detectable 24 hours before the fight. I don't know, and nobody here will.
superstitious = scared to fight or scared to get tested I guess.
Fuck these pussys. Give me Burke vs Bowen. Thems men.
http://articles.nydailynews.com/2009...manny-pacquiaoThis isn't some issue that just came about. It has been a part of the contract negotiations for weeks. According to a source familiar with the talks, Pacquiao's representatives asked what penalties Pacquiao would face if he tested dirty and also if a dirty test result could be kept secret so that the integrity of the fight wouldn't be ruined in the public eye.
Those are disturbing requests. It could just be due diligence on the part of the attorneys negotiating the contract or it could be that Pacquiao has something to hide. The only way to clear up the matter is to agree to the testing. Mayweather has agreed to undergo the same procedures, putting more pressure on Pacquiao.
http://www.mlive.com/mayweather/inde...quiao_cam.html"From sources that told me, they said that people in the Pacquiao camp sent a couple of emails to the Mayweather camp a few weeks ago, about 2-3 weeks ago, and the first email was 'What would the penalty be if our guy tested positive?' and the second e-mail was 'If he did test positive, could we keep this a secret for the benefit of boxing?'" - Teddy Atlas, 1/08/10
Lol @ taking may camp seriously
sounds brilliant to me, because it presents a perfect solution:
manny gives an ounce of blood before he starts his training, then puts it back in at the end before the drug test
that way he'll totally have trained and all that jazz without it, so when he puts some in and takes it back out he won't be missing a thing!
Why can Manny compromise but Floyd can't?
He's ducking Manny because it'll be the last important fight of both of their careers, not because either one is afraid of the other. Boxing will be even less relevant than it already is if they fight before the sport has a new Tyson, Ali, Roy Jones Jr., Floyd Mayweather Jr., Pacquiao, etc.
UFC heavyweight championship on network.
Boxing is so fucked it wouldn't matter if these 2 finally fight and have a legitimate 12 round draw setting up a rematch.
boxing running away from network television to PPV + subscriber networks vs. the UFC moving away from PPV to network coverage tells you all you need to know about the trajectories of the two sports
yet everyone takes the Arum-led Manny camp seriously
Arum
the guy who bribes athletic commissions
and got raided by the FBI
because even in the corrupt-as-fuck world of boxing he stands out
come on guys, just cuz manny wants to know what would happen if he tested positive, and wont agree to randomized olympic style testing, does not mean he is on roids. it just means someone else in the room is on roids and be maybe catching a contact juice.
All these "sources" contradict themselves and are all hearsay. If they or their trainers aren't holding press conferences or are on camera saying these things, then it can be written off as bullshit.
Sources familiar with the negotiations, anonymous sources, sauce this, sauce that. If the source doesn't want to be named publicly then they are full of shit until proven otherwise.
Shut the fuck up already. If you can believe stories about an anonymous person claiming they saw an email then you can believe these stories too.

UP!
come on valisk, this argument is SO yesterday
I don't know jack about boxing, but after reading a few of those links (assuming the information is correct) Pacqiuao has agreed to randomized Olympic style drug testing and wants it done by the Olympic testing committee; however, Mayweather (who insists upon Olympic style testing) isn't comfortable with the Olympic testing committee doing it? wat?
