If Mayweather really did want to fight Pac then why did he wait till negotiations were almost complete before mentioning the drugs test ?
If this drugs test was such a trivial thing for Mayweather then why sit back and wait for everyone to agree and then at the last min drop this bomb shell into the negotiations? we know its a trivial thing for Mayweather because he does not want the fight if Pac does not submit to the drug taking, so if he really wanted the fight fight how come he did not say from the off that, before we start im gonna let it be known that under no!!! circumstances am i going to fight Pac unless he takes a drug test ?
You could argue that Mayweather assumed Pac would think nothing of submitting to them terms because of the money on offer, but because its such and unprecedented thing to do there is no telling how someone would react to that kinda proposal, not to mention that your trying to insult the person by insinuating there a drugs cheat.
If Mayweather had intentions to fight Pac he would of come out and said straight off the bat that he will only! fight Pac if he takes drugs tests, he knows its such an unprecedented thing to do and that is vital to the progression of the fight so why wait?
There is video proof from Roach and Koncz that the drug tests were offered from day 1, the only thing Floyd did late on with the drugs tests was give Manny an opportunity for a 14 day cut off date as opposed to right up til fight night.
If Mayweather really did want to fight Pac then why did he wait till negotiations were almost complete before mentioning the drugs test ?No.
Both camps knew about the OSDT before they started negotiations. You can also find videos of Roach on YouTube saying Team Pacquiao had no problem with OSDT.

schaffer has already come out and said the drug testing clause was in the contract from the beginning. the more pressing question is why did team pacquiao and top rank wait till the very last minute to whine about it? :dunno:
The reason i brought it up is because when watching the ESPN telecast of Brinkley vs Stevens it was brought up and put across that everything was agreed then the subject of drug testing is eventually what stopped it happening.
Its strange though because this was mentioned by all parties from the start. I have seen a few posters ask why this was asked for at the last second several times. Its a bit surprising is all.

Mayweather ducking Pac is old news dude. Get with the program, son! He's ducking Shane now!
I see a lot of people saying this. I dont get how at this stage people still think this was a last second request when all tge info has been rehashed so many times.

thats not true. everyone on here knew about the test before the negotations even started and there are a million interview from very early on by Roach and others who say that Floyd's camp want random blood testing and they have no problem with it because Pac will pass anything. It wasnt until the end of negotiations that they switched there stance on it
this, end of thread.
I know buts its something thats being knocking around in my head the last couple of days.
Ey genius They knew about the testing from Day. 1.
They even agreed to them. Then back tracked.
