Camp Mayweather and Richard Schaefer of GBP wants Olympic-style blood and urine tests for the Pacquiao fight.
In 2008, Schaefer himself vehemently opposed this type of invasive testing for one of GBP's clients, Shane Mosley. In a statement, Schaefer mentioned that he would not allow Mosley to be treated like a cheater. Which is exactly the same logic as to why Pacquiao is now preparing a lawsuit against the Mayweathers and GBP.
Olympic drug tests required now, but not required earlier? So No I don't think Mayweather will demand a olympic style test on his every fight. He only wants Olympic Style blood and urine tests on Pacquiao only because he is a different opponent.
Hate the fans not the fighter.
It's more almost the same as "Don't hate the player, hate the game.
I like both fighters although it's more exciting to watch Pacquiao. Pacquiao is the reason I started watching boxing again.
I'm also impress with Mayweather's record especially in the ring. He hits a lot and doesn't get hit much.
This is going to be a very entertaining fight in March.

Hi guys. I just reposted this from examiner.com. Hope you find this enlightening. I only added the top 5 that are discussed here. Enjoy!
Floyd Mayweather's camp has repeatedly made claims against Manny Pacquiao. We attempt to discern fact from fiction. Additionally, we detail several fighters and athletes, current or prior, who have tested positive for any drugs.
Camp Floyd's Claims
Claim # 1: Floyd Mayweather, Sr and Roger Mayweather have repeatedly accused WBO and Ring welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao of taking performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). Boxers Paulie Malignaggi and Kermit Cintron have aired similar public comments against the Filipino icon.
Fact # 1: Pacquiao maintains a perfect record when it comes to fight-related tests throughout his career. The more visible fights have been administered by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) which conducts standardized tests across the sport, which all boxers are subject to. These programs have been administered for over four decades.
Perfect testing record.
Claim # 2: Floyd's camp, Malignaggi, and Cintron have claimed that Pacquiao cheated in his ascent to boxing's pound for pound summit.
Fact # 2: It was Floyd Mayweather, Jr who cheated against Juan Manuel Marquez, a fighter two to three weight divisions under Floyd's normal fighting weight, in their September 2009 bout. Floyd tipped the scaled two pounds in excess of the contracted fight weight of 144 lbs. Mayweather's fine was a paltry $600,000 despite a reported guaranteed purse of $15 million. The fine represented 4% of the minimum guarantee, without factoring in pay-per-view (PPV) incentives. Did Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) sell out their client Juan Manuel Marquez? The Mexican would eventually suffer a shutout decision loss.
Who really cheated?
Claim # 3: In Floyd Mayweather's statement requesting an Olympic-style test, he alluded to the importance of competing in a "level playing field."
Fact # 3: In March 2008, Pacquiao fought Juan Manuel Marquez and secured a third lineal title in the super featherweight division. Given that Camp Mayweather wanted the fight at the 154 lb. junior middleweight limit, this weight class represents four weight divisions (24 lbs) above the super featherweight limit. The Filipino has only fought at the 147 lb. weight limit once (against Oscar de la Hoya).
Is fighting a smaller boxer a level playing field?
Claim # 4: Camp Mayweather and Richard Schaefer of GBP wants Olympic-style blood and urine tests.
Fact # 4: In 2008, Schaefer himself vehemently opposed this type of invasive testing for one of GBP's clients, Shane Mosley. In a statement, Schaefer mentioned that he would not allow Mosley to be treated like a cheater. Which is exactly the same logic as to why Pacquiao is now preparing a lawsuit against the Mayweathers and GBP.
Olympic drug tests required now, but not required earlier?
Claim # 5: There is a myth in the boxing community that "Pacquiao will not do the tests" and that "he is the one preventing the fight from happening."
Fact # 5: Team Pacquiao has already agreed to more stringent tests - ones stricter than what the NSAC would normally require (which are exclusively urine tests). So long as those blood tests do not interfere with training leading up the fight (30 days prior and a day after the bout). As mentioned, these are beyond NSAC's normal protocol.
Refuse to do the test?
