which one of his reps was quoted for the being scared of needles statement. my point is you're believing stuff you read when there is not any direct quotes.
What did my post have to do with being scared of needles? I was specifically quoting an article that suggested his reps were relaying different information than what he believed. If that's the case, he can very easily fix that.
This is only my opinion on the matter. I don't think Koncz or Arum really misinterpreted what Pacquiao wanted. I believe Arum came with the 30 days to GBP thinking they would counter-offer with a lower date until they reach to a date that's closest to the two days cut-off date before the fight which Pacquiao wanted. The break-down of negotiations happened with the insistance of the Olympic style drug testing which will not adhere to a cut-off date. I think the whole random thing is a moot point as long as there is a cut-off point.
I'm just using the needles as an example. Just like the other poster mentioned agents usually say things different from what their client says for better negotiating leverage.
Yes specially if one of the fighter's in that promoter's stable has been caught and proven to have used steriod in the past.
One way or another Pac is going to have to man up on this one. Mayweather won't be the last fighter that demands this. Maybe pac doesn't have to worry about the non-marketable fighters questioning this because having pacs name on a fight guarantees they have a good payday but there will be other fighters that will requested the same thing untill pac proves himself.
Pacquiao talks about blood being drawn from him before the first Morales fight. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JOFXsVAT8_0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JOFXsVAT8_0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Translation from youtube "This is what happened, 1 month before the fight, they told me they need requirements for my medical for the fight" "All of the drugs tests including blood test. I finished it all and it was all clear" "However, they contacted me again 2 days before the fight all of a sudden" "My camp and I told them that it was already done" "We told them, why?" "The doctor said they lost my record" "What happened to my record? Why did they lost it?" "And why 2 days before the fight, why tell me now?" "I've asked a doctor in another hospital about this and they told me that it is impossible for them to lose my medical record "I had a big suspicion. I think it's the hospitals fault and it's part of their (other camp) tactics. We didn't pursue for an investigation because we had no time, the fight was coming" "After they took the blood out (2 days before the fight). I got dizzy 30 minutes after they took the blood." "The doctor told me to drink plenty of water after the blood was taken out." "I couldn't drink water and I couldn't eat, so I just lay down and just got a massage" "I really felt the affect (of the blood being drawn) on fight night" "All my punches that hit Morales, I thought to myself that this is all I could do, I could not take him down."
