The mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao is now in jeopardy after Golden Boy Promotions, on behalf of Mayweather Promotions, learned today that Manny Pacquiao is refusing to comply with Olympic style drug testing as outlined and mandated by the United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) and as requested by Mayweather’s management to ensure fair play and sportsmanship by both fighters.

Early today Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, was contacted by Top Rank President Todd duBoef, who informed Schaefer that Pacquiao would not agree to have his blood taken within 30-days of the bout based on the fighter’s superstition of testing so close to a fight.

Schaefer commented, “Todd told me that Pacquiao has difficulty with taking blood and doesn’t want to do it so close to the fight. He, Pacquiao, would only agree to have blood drawn before the kick-off press conference and after the fight.”

Olympic style drug testing involves random sampling of the athlete’s blood and urine prior to and after the fight. The USADA procedure includes both blood and urine sampling so that all banned substances, some of which do not show up in urine alone, are tested for thoroughly.

“It is unfortunate to hear this from Manny Pacquiao’s representatives, particularly since, as of today, both parties had worked out all other issues related to this fight,” said Schaefer. “Team Mayweather is certainly surprised that an elite athlete like Manny Pacquiao would refuse drug testing procedures which Floyd has already agreed to and have been agreed to by many other top athletes such as Lance Armstrong, and Olympians Michael Phelps, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.”

Mayweather, who was informed of Pacquiao’s reluctance shortly after Schaefer received word of the impasse, feels Pacquiao has to explain himself immediately or be faced with accusations from the media and the public regarding his own status as a clean and drug free athlete.

“I understand Pacquiao not liking having his blood taken, because frankly I don’t know anyone who really does,” said Mayweather. “But in a fight of this magnitude, I think it is our responsibility to subject ourselves to sportsmanship at the highest level. I have already agreed to the testing and it is a shame that he is not willing to do the same. It leaves me with great doubt as to the level of fairness I would be facing in the ring that night. I hope that this is either some miscommunication or that Manny will change his mind and step up and allow these tests, which were good enough for all these other great athletes, to be performed by USADA.”

Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions said, “We hope that Manny will do the right thing and agree to the testing as it is an egregious act to deny the testing and hence, deny the millions of fans the right to see this amazing fight. We just want to make sure there is a level playing field in a sport that is a man-to-man contest that relies on strength and ability. I still hope this decision is coming from someone in Pacquiao’s camp and not Manny himself as it would be a shame that an athlete of his stature and who represents his whole country would not be able to show the public or his fellow athletes that he agrees to the highest standards in sports competition.”

WHAT YOU HIDING MANNY????

Pacquiao agreed to the drug but it shouldn't be at least 2 months(correct me if wrong) before the fight. The test could also be done after the fight. Pacquiao is not hiding anything. On the other hand:

WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF FLOYD???? TO SCARED TO GET IN THE RING WITH PACQUIAO?

I know that many will look past this on Manny's part due to the profound hatered of Mayweather by many, but I just cant wrap my brain around the idea that he would pass on a 30 million dollar payday over a blood simple if he is clean.

Floyd is trying to get advantage of anything he can get. Floyd will score on points. Pac will try to win on KO's. Having your blood drawn before the fight will take out Pac's advantage moreso than Floyds.

As long as it's Floyd's bull**** idea, there's no problem with Manny telling him to shove the test up his ass. :good

Why did he have to brutally beat his opponents who are all considered great fighters? He should've just cruised to decision wins. Now he has to undergo these blood tests just to get a fight with pbf... :bart

It's possible. There is nothing to be ashamed of if he's afraid something. He is HUMAN.

What about FRAUD? Why is he so scared of Pacquiao. He CONFIDENTLY declared that he can easily beat Pacquiao.
