What does Pacquiao have to hide since he refuses to submit to blood test?

I know he uses the superstition nonsense... but his superstition of not drawing blood before a fight must not be all that good seeing as he has lost and tied multiple times.... Also the blood that would be drawn is only one half of one percent and would have no effect on the fighter... even if it did floyd mayweather jr would be under the same conditions... Many elite athletes have had the same tests and been fine... how can you call somebody the greatest pound for pound fighter right now if he is afraid of a needle

    Pacquiao has already agreed do to blood testing. The problem is that Team Mayweather wants blood taken 48 hours prior to the fight, which is dumb if you ask me. If you'll find somethign 2 days prior to the fight, you'll find it in a few minutes after the fight. Team Mayweather is making something out of a baseless issue. Pacquiao doesn't want his training camp disrupted with tests, and who would, when you are about the have the fight of your life?

    as long as its 30 days b4 the fight manny dont have to worry about anything. its kinda stupid to test somebody a couple days before a fight because whats in there at that time is still gonna be in there when he gets drug tested after the fight. what people said on here manny has already agreed with the blood test just the random one. If Mayweather refuses to fight him because he wont agree to olympic style testing then mayweather just ducked another good fighter.

    Drawing blood before the fight will make Manny weaker, and a urine sample is sufficient to detect steroids. They've been taking urine samples forever and now he wants to change the rules......wtf. Who does this monkey think he is. Floyd is just being puzzi floyd, trying to get an advantage. All you fans are worshipping a false idol. All the talk, 50/50 money, and now this........JUST FIGHT ALREADY! what the phuck is the problem with this monkey!

    Elite athletes do not use blood testing for dope.

    WADA uses urine, which is just as effective as blood testing.

    Anytime you draw blood you are taking a chance on infections, since you have punctured the skin with a needle.

    a lot of people are getting it wrong.....

    yes he agreed to have his blood taken 3X...on January, 30 days prior to the fight and one immediately after the fight...and he's willing to have urinal samples "any" time...

    "Let's be very clear on the real issues we differ on. It's not about being tested," Arum said. "Manny is on board with that since it's such a major concern of Floyd Mayweather Jr. It's about who does the testing and the scheduling of the procedures. - Bob Arum

    If Pacquiao agrees to USADAs procedure then he'd have to be blood-tested 7X randomly leading up to the fight...they would have the power to test him anytime they want and Bob Arum is concerned about it...they're worried about it since it's hired by Team Mayweather and that something fishy is going on....Arum said that if it's approved by the commission (NSAC) then they would do it or they would only do it if they get a professional agency not USADA,...

    This Christmas I'm thankful for Manny and Floyd for making me lots of money betting on then not againts them. At the end of the day I'm the winner!

    All the suckers betting with their pride and heritage lost their money on me.

    Get with the program. The fight is on. Pacquiao has agreed to the testing.

    Nothing. It is clear that the olympic style drug testing is a shamless and dirty ploy by Floyd to harass Manny.

    He has nothing to hide. Its all about psychology.
