Floyd demanded olympic style drug testing as a precondition to making the fight with the Champion Paquiao in 2010. Did Floyd do this to avoid having to fight Pac? Discuss.
Pacquiao initially agreed to the testing, if Mayweather wanted out of the fight he would have come up with something else but he didn't. He even offered Pacquiao a 14 day cut off which was turned down.
yah i remember a kid with cancer told floyd his wish was to see him fight pac..and floyd said he wasn't thinking about boxing and was focusing on vacation or something like that....lol.
edit: lol here's the video.....
this is getting to be the never ending debate
fuck it
FLOYD MAYWEATHER STATEMENT
"Throughout this whole process I have remained patient, but at this point I am thoroughly disgusted that Pacquiao and his representatives are trying to blame me for the fight not happening when clearly the blame is on them.
"First and foremost, not only do I want to fight Manny Pacquiao, I want to whip his punk ass.
"Before the mediation, my team proposed a 14-day, no blood testing window leading up to the fight. But it was rejected. I am still proposing the 14-day window but he is still unwilling to agree to it, even though this is obviously a fair compromise on my part as I wanted the testing to be up until the fight and he wanted a 30-day cut-off. The truth is he just doesn't want to take the tests.
"In my opinion it is Manny Pacquiao and his team who are denying the people a chance to see the biggest fight ever. I know the people will see through their smokescreens and lies. I am ready to fight and sign the contract. Manny needs to stop making his excuses, step up and fight."
