Interviewer: ...now this blood test they're talking about. This is what I don't understand. Why do you have to take a blood test 2 days before the fight? Then here in Manila, news have spread that the fight may not happen, because the Nevada Commission insisted that these tests must be submitted or else they would not grant a permit or recognize this fight. So what happened?
Pacman: Well this is what happened. So 1 month before the fight, they rushed me to undergo a medical exam which the Nevada Athletic Commission (NSAC) had required. Since this was needed by the NSAC, I needed to undergo a medical exam to fulfill this requirement. So I underwent a medical exam 1 month before the fight. Everything was completed...
Interviewer: Even the blood test?
Pacman: .. Yes even the blood test. So when everything was said and done, I resumed back to my training. So here I was...reducing for tomorrow's weigh-in and 2 days before the fight. Since I have to weigh-in tomorrow, I have been reducing...I didn't drink, I didn't hydrate...so I can meet the weight. On that day, NSAC called and required me to submit a blood test for my medical. I told them that I have completed this test already. My camp reacted, Freddie Roach and my manager. NSAC informed us that the doctor lost my medical records.
Interviewer: They lost it!?
Pacman: They lost it. They lost my medical records.
Interviewer: Ok. So first and foremost, whose fault is it? Is it the hospital? Your manager or maybe one of your team members since they didn't follow up or verified that this has been submitted?
Pacman: It's puzzling. Why would NSAC not have copies of my medical records when they even rushed me in getting this done 1 month into the fight...and why 2 days into the fight for me to re-submit one?
Interviewer: So word got here in the Philippines that your team have been pointing fingers and putting blame on each other...
Pacman: Well you know..I spoke to a doctor at another hospital and told me that it's impossible to have my medical records completely lost because those records would
Pacman: Well you know..I spoke to a doctor at another hospital and told me that it's impossible to have my medical records completely lost because those records would have also been stored in a computer.
Interview: So you didn't further investigate as to who was at fault for this? Or was it imbedded that the hospital, in general was at fault?
Pacman: Well for sure the hospital was at fault but we didn't have the time to investigate further...it was 2 days into the fight.
Pacman: Well for sure the hospital was at fault but we didn't have the time to investigate further...it was 2 days into the fight. But you know that I had my doubts about this..
Interviewer: ...that it's one of the tactics?
Pacman: Yes. It's one of their tactics...but did you know when I had my blood drawn that day...30 min later I felt dizzy and felt some pain at the back of my neck. I was instructed after getting my blood drawn to re-hydrate. But you know I can't hydrate!? You know I can't eat!? [because of the weigh-in]. So what I did instead was I lay down and had my neck massaged.
Interviewer: So by fight time, did you really felt that you were weak?
Pacman: For sure I did. Those punches that were landing on Morales...it came into my mind that if this is all the power I can deliver...I won't be able to KO him out.
Interviewer: Well you know that when they interviewed Morales after the fight, he said that he didn't even feel the sting of your punches..
Pacman: Well I like it that way because he doesn't have a clue that those punches were not packed
Interviewer: So you'll let him feel the sting for this next fight then...(laughing)[end]
