    i could see the point if floyd wasn't taking the same tests, so how is it so unreasonable?

    It's excessive and it's gamesmanship to prevent the fight from happening. The major commissions already do testing and that should be good enough.

    It's not unreasonable and should be done for every major fight.

    To everyone not buying Pacquiao's changing bull****, it isn't.

    Because Pacquiao is not sure he'll pass without some sort of window and as a result won't agree to random testing, and as a result 'the fans get cheated' out of the mega of mega fights. So instead, Floyd should drop the demands.

    Take the test and get it over with.. I really don't understand how can someone decline multimillion dollar fight by not wanting to take a test.. Either PAC is juicing or he is scared...

    its unreasonable if it would be done on the premise of a baseless accusations. this is a no-no if you really want to set-up a fight. and OSDT is not really suited for pro boxing.

    And the overwhelming majority of boxing writers and columnists who get paid for their opinions saw it as a tough test for Floyd all while saying Floyd had most of the advantages,giving Shane power and durability with decent speed.Not exactly foreboding for Floyd.

    I'll go on record as saying there's no reason to suspect Manny is on anything.At all.period. Floyd Senior is not a credible enough source for me to start suspecting Pacquiao of any chemical enhancement.

    it's excessive for both fighters, and i can't see how it's gamesmanship when both fighters would be taking the same tests.

    would you take the test for a $40 million payday to have your defining fight? of course you would, but would you take the test if you knew you would fail the tests they're offering? of course you wouldn't because you wouldn't get the $40 million payday, and pacquiao's career would not only be in tatters, but also his political career aswell.

    personally in my opinion,i think pacquiao would of already took the tests if he knew he would pass. too much money, and for a defining fight, yeah i think he would of took the tests.

    So little events don't get it?

    It's unreasonable due to cost. IMO.
