Everybody thought the Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight will be a difficult fight to negotiate particularly on the issue of purse split considering Floyd's early pronouncements he wouldn't agree to something less than 60/40 in his favor. But lo and behold, everybody was surprised Floyd immediately agreed to a 50-50 split! And then when everything seems to be all systems go for the biggest fight in a decade on March 13th, surprise, surprise! Floyd is not done yet and has something up his sleeve to scuttle the fight and blame it on his opponent.
Now it is slowly being revealed that Floyd's turn around from a ducker to finally trying to man up and face a legit champion with a shot of giving him his first defeat was all posturing. He made it look like he was not ducking Pacquiao and instead pin the blame on Manny for being a PED user and refusing to take a drug test on their terms. Despite Pac's willingness to do a blood test 30 days before the fight and immediately after, Floyd wouldn't compromise and insisted on his terms even when there is absolutely no evidence of Pacquiao taking any PEDs before.
The public has been duped once again by Floyd. Again, Floyd consistently shows how he ducks all fighters that is threatening to him, from having many losses on their records, to can't sell a fight, to retiring from the sport only to comeback to face a small 36 yr old while disregarding the fight contract to get an undue weight advantage, to accusing his opponent of being a steroid user.
Pacquiao has brought back the luster to the sport with his mega fights and exciting performances. Floyd has come back and tries to destroy it because he is no longer P4P King and doesn't look like he is brave enough to risk a fight with the best in the sport.
Floyd put a one up on JMM, now he is trying to do the same with Manny. Manny doesn't bad mouth his opponents but shows his respect before and after each fight. Manny doesn't fight dirty. Manny will risk life and limb to make fights exciting. Manny is a beast in training to give a fine performance for the fans and for his country. Manny got all his victories the hard way. Manny is not a cheater. Manny deserves his status as #1 Pound for Pound without any doubts.
Enough of the greedy schemers and liars in professional boxing. Boxing is better off with a retired for good Mayweather.
First of all, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency agreed that they won’t take blood from the fighters 48 hours before the fight as some people seem to think. They’re going to take only a few tablespoons through random testing in the three months leading up to the fight.

Not worth the time it took you write it , the details of this were in the first draft given to Arum , it didnt just happen today they knew about it all along , maybe they thought Floyd would walk out forcing 50/50 , when that didnt work they thought we will throw a ridicules unheard of 10 mill forfeit , and finally when that failed to run Floyd off , Manny says Im not doing the test we will go to court instead ,,,, its as plain as day who is ducking , the one walking away saying no fight !!
Manny does not duck anybody, team pac already agreed to be blood tested they just dont want the initial plan of the US anti-drug agency of doing 7 random blood test for the entire training sked and upto the night of the fight, that is ridiculous, manny always spent atleast 8weeks of training prior to a fight, so thus this mean that he has to subject himself to be blood tested almost every week during training?! I think thats asking too much from a person who has no record of any wrong doing even before he step his foot on american soil 5 or 7 years ago. I mean what drug can't a first world lab can detect in 7days that you cannot detect from a 30days blood test, i think theres not much difference. But i think evetually manny will just agree to everything just to get back at all the haters and **** you all in your faces!!
How do people know that it was in the 1st draft of the contracts and that manny has now agreed to the tests but just not on the day of the fight? i need links in order to believe.
I hope you're right. Manny has proven he doesn't back down from a fight. Not the same with Floyd. Unless we see a signed contract, we know who's the one to blame when the fight doesn't happen.
Floyd is all about money. The biggest money fight possible is not one he will back away from.
No it was actually Manny who had problems with the date of the fight because of his politics. Mayweather has agreed to everything they have asked of him.
Face it, they both want this fight. Neither of them are scared of the other - theres too much money involved. The fight will be made, I'm 99.9% sure of that now.

No wonder PBF agreed to Everything.
Well, how do you know its not the only scheme Mayweather has up his sleeve? First was the fight date that is too close. Well, Pacquiao agreed to it. Now this.
Lord you dont even know what you're talking about, Mayweather never came up with any date, Team Pac were the ones that brought up May and March. Mayweather said ok to either.

Its a simple request. RANDOM drug tests. How was Mayweather supposed to know Manny wouldn't agree to it? If anything he might have thought Manny would jump at the chance to prove his innocence on the whole issue.
Anyway, they will sort this out. Manny has apparently agreed to take the tests but just not the day of the fight. The Mayweathers won't have a problem with this and the fight will be signed in the new year. Its been one big publicity stunt and its definitely worked.

Manny is the one willing to fight here and Floyd is the one with the conditions!
