Fair enough. Though $40 million is a lot of money to pass up because you are doing something you don't have to do, even if it is just taking a blood test. I agree $40M is more money than I will see in my lifetime. That said maybe Manny is not motivated by $$ he may be motivated by pride? He may feel that accepting Floyds demands & doing a blood test would be a loss of face? I don't know. If it was me I would let them take blood between every damm round for $40M but then again I don't have 10's of millions in the bank already & live in a country where I could feed a family for a week on what I spend on lunch. I just get the shits when people go on that blood tests are the be all & end all. Marion Jones never failed a test in her career yet she was subjected to repeated blood tests so either A: Someone was working with her to hide/change her results or B: She had good enough masking agents to cover up any evidence of cheaterations |

Pac has no known links with any PED manufacturers or distributors. There is nothing currently known for him to come clean about. |

The Mayweathers start some shit saying Manny was on something, without any proof whatsoever, and the Floyd fanboys turn it into a scenario where "if Manny just comes clean, he will be forgiven". |

If that were truly the case then why were negotiations with he and DLH drawn out? He's JUST as motivated by dollar$ as any other fighter. |

You guys deal in absolute.
Even Mayweather has some pride and not just money. Even though he is 99% money. Sometimes, that 1%... |

That said maybe Manny is not motivated by $$ he may be motivated by pride? If that were truly the case then why were negotiations with he and DLH drawn out? He's JUST as motivated by dollar$ as any other fighter. Because he is a shrewd negotiator & knew his value as a fighter. Also he was facing his first big payday & did what he should have to get the maximum amount of money. Remember most people were picking DLH to beat him so he had to go for maximum $$ lest his earning potential was damaged by a loss. As for his refusal to take the tests he has earnt what $20M + in his last 3 fights. He is not short of money & that is what I meant by his pride being more important than the $$. See he ain't starving & $40M would not make a big difference to his quality of life. Now if he was broke & rejected $40M I would question his motivation but he has plenty of money in the bank. If it were pride, he would have taken Mosley over Cotto at the time. Who won the Cotto vs Mosley fight? So he should have fought the loser of that fight or the winner whose only loss was against a fighter who is a proven cheat? |
