    not sure about that.

    at first i thought it said that manny refused to comply to the boxing regulations in regards to testing, but it seems they're the regulations of mayweather's camp. he doesn't need to do shit.

    some words from a man who showed up to his last fight much heavier than his opponent.

    I think its bullshit Floyd wants Manny to be tested by Olympic standards, not just boxing standards...however, not complying looks bad on Manny.

    Floyd just proves to me more of a little bitch and Manny just gets a little shadow over his head.

    I also do agree it is complete bullshit that Mayweather thinks he can throw some bullshit stipulations out there. You scared, May?

    Floyd has much more to lose in this fight, how can you blame him?

    I find it really interesting how Manny went from a mediocre fighter to an unstoppable force, now he's refusing to take a blood test...hmmmmm....

    Manny either needs to accept or find some doctors that will say all this blood testing is unnecessary. Right now it doesn't look good for him.

    What's he got to lose? An undefeated record? That has always been on the line for him, in every fight. He is still getting a shit load of money. I just find it interesting he's never asked for this before.

    I'm not defending Manny, either.

    I don't get it...

    If you think you're the better fighter, just take the blood test. Who cares? Win the fight and you'll get the last laugh. It sucks that after so much hype the fight may not take place because of a simple blood test. What's the big deal?

    Bob Arum has essentially called the fight off unless their demands are met.

    well in the article I read it said Pacquiao thinks giving blood so soon before the fight will weaken him. Kinda makes sense cause a lot of asian cultures believe in customs like that..like eating a certain something will make you stronger etc. Not sure about the Philippines though. Kinda lame that the fight fell through.

    Both should take blood tests at the same time before the fight. Maybe add a more strict weight clause so if May doesn't make that, the fight can not occur. But a needle and some blood shouldn't be this big a deal.

    I assume it wouldn't be too much blood. I've had plenty of vaccinations for school as a kid, so let's get this going.

    ^ Reportedly the weight clause they concocted--that Mayweather agreed to--had him (Mayweather) paying $10-million for every pound over the limit he came in at. Guess he expected to make weight.

    Manny is going to leave all that money on the table now... there's no doubt in my mind he's on something. Nothing else would make sense.

    That was Manny's rule.
