    Why did Floyd Mayweather Jr. ask for olympic style drug testing?

    just a way out really

    he made it too complicated though

    he could have just played basketball with pac. that would have been enough excuse not to fight him

    you forgot the "to duck pac" option. because if pac had quickly agreed on the test floyd would have found another test until pac eventually balks.

    He probably suspects him of cheating. Like it or not, just about every professional athlete in the world is suspect, and the rest have already been caught.

    I would've voted if there's a 5th option that says "So he could duck Pac"...

    We already know who thinks he is ducking Pac. I'm curious what the people who think this is legit think.

    Floyd Snr plays a massive part in this fight falling apart.

    I have been asking the same question every since this whole thing broke, yet no one can answer it...

    HOW IN THE **** DID FLOYD KNOW THAT PAC WOULDNT AGREE TO TAKE THE TEST????

    Fact-Roach and Arum both said as they started talks WE HAVE NO PROBLEM DOING ANY KIND OF TESTING THEY WANT TO DO...

    So what all the people that are saying he did it to duck pac are saying is that floyd was so smart that he wadded though the BS and knew all along that Pac would walk away over a blood test even though his camp was saying they had no problem with testing:huh:patsch

    Because he doesn't want to get annihilated ala Cotto, but cannot simply decline to fight Manny. This is a perfect way out.
