    I did have to laugh when Floyd, Jr. said Pacquiao should agree to the blood testing in fairness to sportsmanship.

    Where was that sportsmanship when he came in two pounds overweight for his last fight September 19 against Juan Manual Marquez? And then refused to lose it. The fight where neither the fighter nor promoter (Golden Boy) would tell the public even what weight the fight was being fought at until the actual weigh in?

    Now all of a sudden Mayweather, Jr. is the sensible, altruistic one?

    manny ducking the needle?


    hey, roach wanted a ten mil a pound penalty so floyd wont "cheat" but now having a legimate doping test is too much? i'm actually surprised that the doping tests for boxing are so relaxed considering how dangerous the sport is.

    no floyd can weigh above the limit and cheat if he wants but he had to pa a huge fine. pac wants drug testing not just days before the fight. so where are you demanding this random blood test years ago? did boxing just started with floyd fighing pac?

    What backfired?
    If Pacquiao dose not agree to the testing or agrees to the testing and tests positive than the fight is off and Mayweather is out a lot of $$$$$
    If Pacquiao goes along with the tests and tests nagitive than the fight is on and Mayweather who is suposedly afride to fight Pacquiao will have no choice but to fight him.

    pac is one who is going to lose in this, General people are going to ask ?, you put at risk 30 to 40 million dollars all for a couple of drug tests.

    In non pac loving people, loud alarm bells start ringing.

    there is just no amount spin and change that, your willing to walk away from 30 to 40 million on a couple of drug test. Pac will lose huge if this fight falls over.

    It's more like you are spinning and changing the truth to get to that conclusion.

    In the USA you need something called evidence. Have you got any?
