Would you pass up 40 million because of a blood test if your clean?

what would testing positive do to your career? Teddy Atlas who hasnt took niether pacquiao are mayweathers has stated that. How can you walk away from the biggest payday of your life because of a blood test. we are not doctors specially the fans how can we determine whats going to draing pacman.IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT EXCUSES FROM PACQUIAOS SIDE AND EVERYTIME THEY BLAME IT ON THE MAYWEATHER CAMP. AND IM TIRED OF THE RACISM DEALING WITH THESE TO FIGHTERS.

1ST Mayweather has agreed to 14 days before the fight but pacquioa needs a month.

2nd Pacquaio is afraid of needles. But he has several tatoos

3rd. He feels drained when the days before the fight they do nothing but media wouldnt you feel drained sitting up at meetings all day.

4. What difference will it make most people have to dehydrate them selves prior to fights anyway.

5. mayweather agreed to the gloves and the weight penalty.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE IM TIRED OF PEOPLE ONLY SIDING WITH PACQUIO WHEN MANNYS TEAM IS SENDING EMAILS WONDERING WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN IF HE TESTES BAD.

YOU TUBE LINK IS BELOW.

    I have a feeling that your biased question will pick the biased answer as a best answer.

    The way Manny Pacquiao handle himself with this MEGAFIGHT fiasco, "HE IS A MAN OF PRINCIPLE." Not even $40 M can buy his principle. Mayweather and his camp can not dictate Team Pacquiao. Team Pacquiao does not need Mayweather at all. Now the fight will be Pacquiao vs. Clottey March 13, 2010. And who is Mayweather fighting Malignaggi or M. Hatton? Nothing new right... Both are smaller opponent and that's not new with Mayweather the CHERRY PICKER...

    By the way... About Teddy M. Atlas, he's acting like the Mayweathers that accuse and accuse without any proof. Oh yeah! The middle initial "M" on Teddy M. Atlas, it means "Mayweather"....LOL

    YES! It's all about pride, man. First of all, if I and all sane persons know that I am clean, I'd feel INSULTED by malicious accusations of steroid use. Part of the proposed settlement during mediation was for the Floyd camp to apologize to Pac but the former refused. Secondly, the Olympic-style tests by the USADA is not and has never been done in boxing. Who the hell is Floyd Jr. to impose such demands not only on Pacquiao but on the boxing hierarchy? Urine tests are all that is required in pro boxing and Manny has religiously submitted himself to those and has come clean all the time. The Floyd camp is obviously harassing Pac, trying to gain an early psychological edge on the latter. If Manny submits to this ridiculous demand he'd lose some of his pride and his mental toughness. It's important to a fighter not to lose in the mind game too. Besides, Pac has nothing to lose. He's boxing's top draw now and everyone is aching to fight him. Let him fight brave fighters then.

    No, but I also wouldn't demand a random blood test that no other fighter in the history of the sport has had to take and give up 40 million because he said no. It goes both ways, I would fight anybody any where with gloves on for forty million bucks. As long as there's a ref and a doctor present.

    FINALLY someone with intelligence, you are 100 % correct the may weather camp is not being unreasonable asking for a simple blood test two weeks before the fight, if pacman is not dirty or afraid why would he walk away from the biggest payday of his career, the fact is nothing but excuses have come from Manny's camp as far as i'm concerned Manny dose not want this fight they can play the blame game all they want but manny is the @ussy walking away not Floyd.

  • 1 decade ago

    No reasonable person would. Furthermore, I think a fight of this proportion is a great oppurtunity to set a precedent in fairness. This would not be an ordinary fight. It would be the biggest fight of these boxers' careers, and I don't think it's unreasonable to hold this fight to a higher level of scrutiny in drug testing. Unlike many, I don't favor either fighter(they're both a joy to watch fight). I just want to watch a great fight that could possibly lead to more great fights in the future. I don't care if the African American fighter or the Philippino fighter wins. I just want to see a fair fight between the two best fighters in the world.

    Maybe Manny really doesn't need another $40 million dollars. It must be nice to get to that point in your life....seriously, what's another couple of million for Manny? I do find it strange about the needles but then again I am squeamish when i get a blood test but okay with acupuncture.

    Overall, I think its about ego. Mayweather thinks he's the NSAC or maybe its okay to accuse someone of a crime without evidence. Either way, Manny agreed to blood tests, just not the way Floyd wanted it. So screw you PBF !

    Pacquiao does not need more money...

    Mayweather needs it soooo much.

    Mayweather is in deep **** with the IRS.

    Mayweather's family are crackheads.

    it's just mayweather way of saying ... he wants out of the fight.

    typical mayweather. he is very well known to the boxing world as a DUCKER.

    he would make demands and conditions that...

    like

    Cotto

    Mosley

    Margarito

    Williams

    Kotsa

    etc etc etc

    and especially Pacquiao.

    Don't you already know that?

    Because, everyone on the planet knows that.

    Dont say that racism has got nothing to do with this, when this is what its really all about. To westerners like yourself its a blasphemy for asians to excell in a sport dominated by african american athletes. They have to get hurt, they have to lose to bigger guys, they are physically weak and puny. If they do otherwise? It only has to be and must be because they are using PED.

    The funny thing is guys like Moseley and Jones have been caught using steroids, but how come no one is really requiring them to do olympic style dope testing. No one blew the issue out of proportions. But Manny who is being accused without tangible proof has to give in to the demands of mayweather? All of a sudden Mayweather has the right to demand who should conduct the testing, but manny cant request for his blood not to be drawn out of him 48 hours near fight night?

    Come on, you people will never give Pacquiao vindication no matter what he does. If he tests clean and loses. What will you say? "See! Manny did not have a chance to take PEDs in this fight thats why he lost. He was winning his previous fights because of PEDs and just so happened that he was not caught!". But if manny tests clean and wins, you people are just gonna say "This proves nothing, not all steroids and masking agents have detections assays anyway, moseley got away because of it. He is doping they just could not detect the dope he is using"

    Steroid ain't an argument not greater. it is so uncomplicated because it somewhat is. Lil floyd does not decide for to combat Manny and the different guy who has the aptitude of putting him flat on the canvass. he's no longer a honest fighter who takes possibilities dealing with stressful fighters like Manny. this is the final analysis. Floyd purely can no longer have faith Manny to be mauling greater fighters, making their faces like squeezed tomato. think of lil floyd having a face like that. he will have a face like a burned squeezed tomato then.

    for all of mayweather's fights,why pick these fight to have an olympic style drug testing? why didn't he proposed this when he was about to fight De La Hoya,Hatton,Marquez.etc it is obvious that mayweather is scared of pacquiao because he know that pacquiao is a fighter that can beat him and he doesn't want to have a loss so he used this for his way out of the fight
