Did Team Mayweather's Hypocrisy Force Their Humiliating Backdown on Drug Testing Pac?

Now that Floyd Mayweather representative Richard Schaefer has been exposed as a complete hack hypocrite for wanting Manny Pacquiao to engage in testing similar to that which Schaefer would not allow for another of his fighters, the BALCO-scandal-tainted Shane Mosley, to engage in (1), you have to wonder if this revelation was the final straw in Team Mayweather's embarrassing decision to back down from their unreasonable demand to have Manny Pacquiao comply with Olympic-style USADA testing (2).

Such comprehensive testing has never been required of any other fighter in boxing history, and it is correct that pound-for-pound king Pacquiao is not the first fighter to have to submit to such measures simply based upon the spurious and unfounded charges of Team Mayweather.

The latest public relations setback for Team Mayweather follows a similar rebuke they suffered when Team Pacquiao told the world that Pacquiao would be suing the Mayweathers for defamation. Regardless of whether or not such a lawsuit is ever filed, the tactic was effective in halting the Team Mayweather campaign seemingly designed to make people think that Manny Pacquiao was a drug user.

The poll question is a simple yes or no query:

Regardless of whether or not Team Mayweather's foolish and duplicitous gamesmanship ends up killing the potential fight of the century, a valuable lesson has been learned by the community of boxing fans: Only the gullible take what Team Mayweather and their representatives say at face value.

If nothing else comes out of this sorry "testing" mess, the boxing public will still have benefited from obtaining, and remembering, that information.

Please, I know you're not going to try this gambit, right?

Though what you're saying is accurate from a strategic standpoint (best interest of your own fighter at heart), being a hypocrite implies what's not ok for me is ok for you: My guy doesn't have to face a higher standard of testing, but your guy does. That is blatant hypocrisy. Especially when my guy is an admitted steroid user and your guy isn't.

 

He should feel stupid, as should all of Team Mayweather. They're idiots who played a dumb game and lost big. Morons.

Team Pac now has Team Hypocrite by the nuts. Pac can walk away from the fight now and make Floyd look like a coward, liar and hypocrite. Believe me, Team Pac knows this, too.
