Everyone wanted to see this boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquaio, but for some reason (I suspect cowardice), Pacquaio is trying to avoid the fight. Seriously. He’s threatening to sue, because his opponent wants him to take strict drug tests, to prove he isn’t taking illegal drugs. Pacquaio’s camp has even claimed a Manila Standard reporter was given statement’s that Pacquaio is taking performance-enhancing drugs (steroids). Of course, that reporter is probably lying, or Pacquaio’s people are lying and using the reporter’s name, because the Manila Standard didn’t report it. I mean, what reporter would get a juicy angry statement like that, and not put it in somewhere? It might add hype to their match. Probably because it never happened, and any investigation into it would prove it didn’t.
Hey, Manny. If they’re suggesting that you take drugs, and challenge you to take a test to prove you don’t, why not take the test, and prove to the entire world that you can pass it? Why do you, Manny Pacquaio, instead, avoid taking the test, and sue, instead? You know what will happen here. If they go to court, they’re probably going to produce some valid evidence that you DO take drugs. If only to defend themselves from your charges. What will you do if the judge orders a drug test? Sue him or her?
Either way, Pacquaio is probably accomplishing what he wanted to do in the first place. Poison the negotiations so he doesn’t have to face Mayweather Jr. in the ring. Otherwise he’d take the test and get it over. He’s obviously not interested in settling the matter in the ring like a man.
Man up, Manny. Take your lumps, and get in the ring. The longer you keep running away, the worse it’s going to look for you.
