Manny Pacquiao will not fight Floyd Mayweather next March because of a blood testing stalemate. Manny Pacquiao refused to fight, but calls Mayweather, what he Manny proved himself to be, a coward!
Another headline reads,
Bob Arum, Pacquiao's promoter, said Mayweather's request to have stricter US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) testing methods, including possible random blood tests within days of the bout, killed any hope of reaching a deal.
We ask, why wouldn't Manny Pacquiao agree to more rigorous testing for steroids if he were not on steroids?
The reason Manny Pacquiao will not agree to the much more rigorous testing is because MANNY PACQUIAO IS TAKING STEROIDS, which are an illegal substance that enhances athletic ability to perform. These banned steroids are easy to buy in the P.I. , which does not have enough laws regulating them. Walk into any weight lifting gym and you can buy them!
The real truthful headline should read,
Pacquiao, in typical P.I. fashion, has been caught doping! Cheat, claw, knife everyone to win!

Do the test, Oscar urges Pacquiao
Manila Bulletin - Thursday, December 24
Send IM Story Print
Oscar De La Hoya said on Wednesday that if Manny Pacquiao insists he is clean, he must submit himself to Olympic-style drug testing.
''C'mon. It's only a little bit of blood. If you have nothing to hide, then do the test,'' said De La Hoya in his blog in the on-line edition of The Ring magazine a day after it was announced that the proposed March 13 showdown between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather was in danger of being scrapped for the Filipino's disagreement with a drug-testing procedure being demanded by Mayweather.
De La Hoya, who lost his farewell fight to Pacquiao in December 2008, says Mayweather is submitting himself to the same tests to show that he doesn't use performance-enhancing substances.
De La Hoya, whose Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) is representing Mayweather in negotiations with Pacquiao's promotional banner Top Rank, wonders why Pacquiao, regarded as the world's best boxer pound-for-pound, ''is afraid of needles and having a few tablespoons through random testing in the three months leading up to the fight.''
''If Pacquiao, the toughest guy on the planet, is afraid of needles and having a few tablespoons of blood drawn from his system, then something is wrong. The guy has tattoos everywhere; he's tattooed from top to bottom. You're telling me he's afraid of needles?''
Pacquiao says the urine test being conducted by the Nevada State Athletic Commission is more than enough to determine if he is drug-free or not, but De La Hoya says it is not so.
''And the idea that urine tests can detect HGH [Human Growth Hormone] is wrong. I talked to Travis Tygart, CEO of the USADA. He testified before Congress that anyone who says HGH can be detected by a urine test is mistaken. It can only be detected by a blood test.''
For the fight to be saved, De La Hoya advises Pacquiao to agree to undergo such tests.
''So you have to do the blood work. If Pacquiao doesn't want to do this and risk a possible $40-million payday because he's afraid of needles or believes he'll be weakened by blood tests, then that raises question marks,'' said De La Hoya, who has fought two fighters who have tested positive for banned substances, Shane Mosley and Fernando Vargas.
''Now I have to wonder about him. I'm saying to myself,'Wow. Those Mosley punches, those Vargas punches and those Pacquiao punches all felt the same.' I'm not saying yes or no [about whether Pacquiao might be taking performance-enhancing drugs]; I'm just saying that now people have to wonder: 'Why doesn't he want to do this? Why is it such a big deal.'''
De La Hoya, who had once inked Pacquiao to a promotional contract that was later rescinded owing to a technicality, stresses that Pacquiao's refusal is being looked at differently.
''A lot of eyebrows have been raised. This is not good at all.''
If Pacquiao says he is deathly-afraid of needles, De La Hoya has a piece of advice.
''I believe Mayweather wants to do the right thing, to get tested properly. He's not doing it to harass Pacquiao; that's garbage. I would say to Pacquiao:
'''Do the test. Do it because it's only a couple of tablespoons. Needles don't hurt. Just look away when they put the needle in your arm.''' Besides, De La Hoya articulates, ''he'll probably lose more blood in the fight than the blood being drawn for the test.''

Megafight talks take another strange twist
By Kevin Iole, Yahoo! Sports Dec 25, 6:30 pm EST
Negotiations to finalize a lucrative boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. took another bizarre twist Friday as Pacquiao threatened libel lawsuits and the chief executive officer of Golden Boy Promotions was accused of telling a Filipino journalist that Pacquiao is using performance-enhancing drugs.
Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum said Friday that reporter Ronnie Nathanielsz of the Manila Standard told him that in September, Nathanielsz was in the Golden Boy offices in Los Angeles when Richard Schaefer accused Pacquiao of using PEDs.
Schaefer, whose company is representing Mayweather in a fight expected to be the largest-grossing in history, recalls meeting Nathanielsz in his downtown Los Angeles office but denied the allegations.

Nathanielsz, whose newspaper has not reported the alleged conversation, declined via email to comment.
Talks to finalize the bout between the two best pound-for-pound fighters in the world hit a snag on Tuesday when Mayweather issued a statement demanding "Olympic-style drug testing" administered by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. Top Rank, on behalf of Pacquiao, declined and the sides have exchanged bitter words since.
On Friday, Arum said he spoke on the telephone late Thursday with Winchell Campos, a Pacquiao publicist. Arum said Campos told him Pacquiao planned to file a lawsuit against Mayweather, Mayweather Sr., Golden Boy Promotions and Schaefer for allegations Pacquiao says they made without evidence that he is on performance-enhancing drugs.
Arum said he tried to talk Campos out of issuing a statement from Pacquiao announcing plans for the suit. But Arum said Campos then put Pacquiao on the telephone and that Pacquiao was as angry as he has ever heard him.
"Manny is usually this mild-mannered guy, but he was unbelievably angry", Arum said. "I never heard him like that. He told me to make it stop. This was a different Manny than I'd ever heard. When I hung up, I said, 'What the hell was that about?"'
When he spoke to Nathanielsz by telephone 30 minutes later, Arum said Nathanielsz recounted a meeting in Schaefer's downtown Los Angeles office in the buildup to the Sept. 19 fight in Las Vegas between Mayweather Jr. and Juan Manuel Marquez in which he alleged that Schaefer told him Pacquiao was using performance-enhancing drugs.
Arum, who flew to Mexico on Friday for a week-long vacation, said Nathanielsz's comments clarified things for him. He said he had been puzzled by Mayweather Sr.'s public allegations against Pacquiao, but said they began to make sense after speaking with Nathanielsz.
Ronnie said he came over early for the [Mayweather-Marquez] fight and he met with Schaefer, Arum said. "He said they met for a half hour and that Schaefer went on and on and on that Manny is a cheater and that Manny uses steroids and that Manny was on performance-enhancing drugs."
Ronnie asked him, Why would you take this attitude with this young man? Ronnie told me he thinks Schaefer is pissed off that Manny chose us over Golden Boy, though Schaefer is happy to take the money.
Pacquiao signed promotional contracts with both Golden Boy and Top Rank in 2006. Golden Boy president Oscar De La Hoya met Pacquiao at Los Angeles International Airport and gave him a suitcase filled with $250,000 in cash, which Pacquiao later was forced to return, as an inducement to sign.
Lawsuits were filed and the matter was eventually settled in arbitration by retired judge Daniel Weinstein. Weinstein ruled Pacquiao would be promoted by Top Rank, but that Golden Boy is entitled to a percentage of profits in perpetuity from all Pacquiao fights as long as Top Rank had Pacquiao under contract.
Arum said he has asked his attorneys to have the arbitration reopened and have Golden Boy eliminated since Schaefer's actions were not in the fighter's best interests.
Schaefer said Nathanielsz has had a good relationship with Golden Boy, particularly with its matchmaker, Eric Gomez. Schaefer admitted he hosted Nathanielsz in his office, but denied he made any accusations about Pacquiao and performance-enhancing drugs.
"I would never accuse anybody of anything and those who know me know that's just not the way I am," Schaefer said Friday.
"I would never go and allege anybody is doing anything, so that is absolutely not true that I would have said to anybody that Manny is cheating. I didn't."
We have a pretty good relationship with Ronnie. I think Eric does. He came to see our offices, but there was no accusation of cheating. And in this process, over the last few days or weeks, not once did you hear me say, to you or to anyone else, that I am accusing Manny of taking anything or doing anything illegal.
Schaefer also questioned why, if Nathanielsz had such information, that he had not reported it.
Mayweather Sr. began inferring that he suspected Pacquiao was on steroids or some other performance-enhancing substance in September, not long after Nathanielsz visited the Golden Boy offices.
After Pacquiao's victory over Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14 in Las Vegas, Mayweather Sr. suggested to Yahoo! Sports reporter Martin Rogers that Pacquiao's improvements were not natural.
"You know there is something going on with him", Mayweather Sr. told Rogers. "If I was Floyd I wouldn't fight him because of that. It just don't add up. Take a look at them old pictures, man. That's a different dude. And he got knocked out when he was 30 pounds lighter, but now he can stand there and take Cotto's best shots? Come on."
Arum reiterated Friday that Pacquiao is clean and said the fight can be salvaged if Mayweather backs off his insistence that testing be administered by USADA. USADA's procedures demand random testing up to and including the day of competition.
Pacquiao has an aversion to giving blood close to an event, both Arum and his adviser, Michael Koncz, have said, believing it weakens him. Arum said Pacquiao would submit to testing if it were done under the auspices of the Nevada Athletic Commission.
"They're corrupted in this thing; they're complicit", Arum said of USADA.
"Both sides here know the people involved in the Nevada Athletic Commission. It can handle the testing and we can work out a protocol that will prove Manny is not on anything and that won;'t interfere with the fight"
Leonard Ellerbe, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions and the fighter's closest friend, refused to say Friday whether his side would accept testing done by any group other than USADA, as it has demanded.
Ellerbe said he and Mayweather adviser Al Haymon came up with the idea to require the testing, not Mayweather Jr., as a way to protect their fighter.
"We're waiting to see if Manny Pacquiao is going to do the Olympic-style drug testing", Ellerbe said, "The bottom line is that neither Top Rank, nor Manny's camp, nor Mayweather Promotions or Golden Boy Promotions are going to dictate how the blood and urine testing is conducted."
I understand this could be the biggest fight in the history of the sport, but all money ain't good money. You can't put a price tag on anything when it comes to Manny's livelihood.
The fighters are the only ones stepping up, putting their lives on the line. It's the fighters who are putting their lives on the line, not me, not Top Rank, not Golden Boy, not Al Haymon. Our responsibility here is to protect the interests of our guy and that's what we are doing.
In his statement in which he threatened to sue, Pacquiao denies taking steroids and said he didn't sue Mayweather Sr. earlier because he didn't want to create distractions during his preparations for Cotto.
I maintain and assure everyone that I have not used any form or kind of steroids and that my way to the top is a result of hard work, hard work, hard work and a lot of blood spilled from my past battles in the ring, not outside of it, Pacquiao said in his statement. I have no idea what steroids look like and my fear in God has kept me safe and victorious through all these years.
Now, I say to Floyd Mayweather Jr., don't be a coward and face me in the ring, mano-a-mano and shut your big, pretty mouth, so we can show the world who is the true king of the ring.
Arum said he plans to continue parallel negotiations with Lou DiBella, who promotes Paulie Malignaggi, and plans to resume those talks on Monday for a Pacquiao-Malignaggi fight on March 13.
Malignaggi has suggested Pacquiao may have taken performance-enhancing drugs and Arum said Pacquiao would agree to some type of testing administered by a regulatory agency like the Nevada Athletic Commission to quell those fears.

((Jan 25 2010)) One of our team members visited the P.I. during the last few weeks and came back telling that the whole news media there has not told the Philipino people THE TRUTH why the fight between the two may not be held. The P.I. racist news media has published that Mayweather has backed out of the fight.
The truth, of course, is that Pacquiao has backed out simply because Mayweather wants to be sure he gets a CLEAN fight, i.e. olympic steroid tests!
