a summary of the story that appeared at abs-cbnnews today [ ]
MANILA - Pound-for-pound kingpin Manny Pacquiao believes that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is scared of him.
The seven-time world champion said the rigorous drug testing demands made by Mayweather's camp are just an excuse by the American to avoid their bout.
He stressed that he is willing to undertake any blood test to clear allegations regarding steroid use. However, he added that the test should not be made on the day of the fight because it will weaken him.
Top Rank boss Bob Arum said the scheduled March 13 fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather has been called off to protect his Filipino ward.
"I will not allow Manny to be made like a fool and pushed around by Mayweather," he said. "We don't trust them anymore. Mayweather never had any intention to fight Pacquiao and he's looking for a way out and to smear Manny's image as somebody who takes drugs."
Pacquiao's translated direct quotes (thanks, Splackavellie)
Pac says:
"Let's require all even bloodtest, but not on the day of the fight itself, it will weaken you."
"He's just making excuses and strategies to get me mad so i'll be distracted on the fight"
"I don't have any problems fighting him, if he's on it then let's fight but if he's a little scared then he needs to man up"
"He (PBF) got a lot of reasons, he got a lot of demands, the fight is not yet signed, but now he's scared."
