    Floyd wanted the fight. Pacquiao is the one who turned it down over random blood tests. If you believed a fighter you might fight could be using illegal substances, why would it be wrong to ask for stronger testing? Pacquiao and his people came up with foolish excuses as to why they couldn't take the tests and none of them made any sense. Spinning this into Mayweather not wanting the fight is dumb. What's funny is it seems like Boxing people believe it seems suspicious that Manny's dodging the random testing, while some fans and a lot of mainstream media are giving him a pass. I wouldn't want to see the Matthew Hatton fight. I would rather see him fight the Mosley-Berto winner or Pacquiao.

    it's tough to say but it's a possibility. pac, like floyd, has been favoured in his last two fights and was very much a live underdog against oscar in the betting. it's possible that he wasn't quite so eager to face up against someone who would be favoured (even heavily) to beat him. i don't think for one second manny was scared in any way BUT if i were him, i'd be more eager to fight hatton than floyd

    So Floyd can agree to an unheard of 10 Mil for every pound he is over, but cant make is own out of the ordinary requests?

    If my dad and others in my corner thought someone i was going to fight was on PEDs i would not 100% belive them but i would at least bear it in mind. So asking for a RANDOM blood test is quite reasonable IMO

    What would you do if you honestly thought someone might be on PEDS? Take the fight anyway or take the fight after your suspicions had been cleared?
