Pacquiao will forever be considered a cheater and coward if he doesn't sign and take the damn tests. He's looking like a big time drug steroid cheat and coward right now, even inside of boxing most of the big boxing stars from Cotto to Paulie to Mosley to Cintron to Berto are all doubting him and think he might be on the juice so he needs to take those tests or his legacy will fall and he will never be considered amongst the greatest.
I will hate myself in the morning . . . but to go with your reasoning . . . for each pound Mayweather is equal to or less than the agreed upon weight limit. Manny should pay Floyd $10 million if he comes in at weight and another $10 million for each pound he is under the weight.
i dont even know why you went through the hassle and math...
the points are obvious...
unprecedented drug tests are not necessary ...
a test after the fight is suffice
random piss test is suffice
blood test on the way to the boxing ring is bull shit
here is a solution for you ....
1) Since Mayweather is naturally bigger he will spill out a higher volume of blood, say at 3:1. At 10 total Samples with 200ml per sample, Manny will provide 2000ml of blood while Floyd will give 6000ml of blood.
2) If Manny is found with any illegal substance on any test, he will pay $4M for each test found positive. Since Floyd made the accusation directly or indirectly, for every negative test he will pay Pacquiao $8M for every test found negative.
That would be calling his raise and raising the pot much much higher. I dont know what these so called advisers of Pacquiao are thinking. They dont know how to dilute Mayweathers' argument and put a counterspin to it. All Mayweather is doing is just posturing. Easy PR job

I know this may sound stupid to you. But why would you put yourself in that position?
To say Floyd is ducking Manny; Floyd would have to know that Manny was going to throw a fit at taking blood test. If I were Floyd, I would have asked for 70% of the purse which would have been something he knew Manny would have refused not an issue over blood.
The argument about not letting Mayweather bully him around doesn't make any sense either because it is all part of negotiations. I could understand that argument if Mayweather would have told Manny there would be no fight if he didn't get the following:
1. Olympic style testing only for Manny.
2. 70% of the purse.
3. 10 oz gloves
4. A boxing ring the size of a football field.

the number 2 p4p does not have the leverage
to demand the p4p king to take 15 random drug tests in 10 weeks ..
that's bullying

If it tarnishes his legacy with crack pot boxing fans who believe anything they read on the internet then who cares.
good point .. Manny has his whole country supporting him and believe in him ...
American fans were critical of even Lance Armstrong but not the same level that they are of Manny ...
Even Bonds, Mcguire, and OJ simpson got more love and support than Manny
Pete Rose and Mike Vick got more love ... There were many trying to stick up for them ... before and after proven guilty
And all of the above were guilty
Manny however has not been proven guilty and in my eyes he is just not letting Mayweather try to bully him outside the ring
Pac is in a tough position right now.. If he takes the test and found negative to any peds use and then loss to Mayweather. Ppl would think he loss cuz he wasn't on it. If he doesn't take the test and won the fight.. everyone would say he was on some sort of peds.. He must take the test and whoop PBF's ass maybe is the only way out of this mess.. I think he should continue with the lawsuits though cuz his name is damaged right now.. These crazy accusations w/ no proof is not fair for pac as a person.
internet floyd haters and pacfans will disagree...
the rest of the world will agree..i dont think internet fans realize how guilty manny looks to the rest of the world and the news and sporting outlets are not givin the benefit of the doubt...for some reason internet boxing fans dont see it..i dont know why..
I think the media has been on Manny's side, except for some self-admitted Floyd Nuthuggers *cough*Fitzsimmons*cough*. Although I think public opinion will turn on him if he doesn't meet Mayweather somewhere in the middle.
It's unfortunate for Manny, because America has been in a complete Steroid craze for the past few years, looking for witches to burn in just about every sport. He's just the latest target.
I'm pretty confident that Manny is in fact NOT using PEDs, but he has handled this situation poorly. I chalk it up to him mostly being an uneducated kid from the streets of the Philippines. He's not the type of guy to talk shit and make allegations, so he doesn't understand why someone else would do it.
it is kinda sad. pac does look guilty of something to most outside the box fans. this is a weird situation. i wanna believe all this is because of floyd, but i'm not sure. this has definitely raised my eyebrow and have me wondering.

I know, yahoo.com had him on the front page already refusing the tests and such so 90% of the rest of the world already sees Pac as a foreigner and a cheater just like dolph lundgren i.e. ivan drago from Rocky. Manny needs to sign and take the tests otherwise the world will forever view him as a cheating fraud
