The news has come in the wake of his almost refusal to fight against Manny Pacquiao on one pretext or the other. His camp has made baseless charges against Manny as well that range from drugs to some other nonsense.
In the meantime the Filipino star fighter Manny Pacquiao have nerves of steel. He is a sturdy fighter in the rings. Till now he has won seven titles. And he is still going strong. Those who have fought him hold him in high regards because of his high skills.
But outside the ring, he is a different man. His close friends say he is a bit touchy. That is why he was upset when Floyd Mayweather Sr has accused him of using drugs to enhance his performance.
Reacting to the allegation, he said: "I don't want people thinking that I cheated. I'm an honest fighter."
Besides, he was so furious after this allegation that he pulled out of the much-talked about fight with Mayweather. The later had asked him to go for Olympic-style drug testing three months before the fight. And Manny didn’t agree to it, torpedoing the fight. Not only that, he had threatened to sue Mayweather camp for unleashing a campaign to tarnish his image. Manny has always passed a drug test.
"People now think that we're trying to hide something," said Freddie Roach, Pacquiao's trainer. "It hurt him a little bit."
"I'm disappointed that (the Mayweathers) had to say those things, but all that stuff isn't true. I never took anything like he's saying. I just want to show all my fans that I'm clean and I'm not cheating," he told a reporter.
