Why is it a problem that Pac get tested if Mayweather is ALSO tested?
I'm astonished that anyone would feel that this is simply mind games or gamesmanship, or that it is in some way a concession that Mayweather is scared, the bottom line is that Mayweather's camp feels the man cheats and if Pac wants to fight Mayweather he isn't going to do it without knowing for a fact that the fight is fair, simple and plain. Mayweather isn't pushing for "Manny to be tested" he's asking that they "Both be tested". He's not asking Pac to subject himself to anything that he himself isn't willing to do. As many have said if there isn't an issue what's the problem? What did Cotto get (other than an brutal whipping and a Loss) when Margaritto was found to be a cheater after the fact...nothing, why would Mayweather take that risk, if he were to lose the fight and after the fact Pac is found to be a cheater he will still have that loss and the subsequent affects I wouldn't risk that either.
If he suspects the man of cheating and would like to ensure that he is protecting his legacy I don't see why that's such a huge problem. Its not about whether he can "pass a test" or has "passed tests" in the past, it's about either he's cheating or he's not, and if he's not lets make sure of it before we take this risk, seems reasonable to me. As I've said all day, I don't have any real emotional involvement I like both fighters and respect both fighters, but I certainly see the logic in requesting the test. I think it speaks volumes that Pac is refusing..
I would like to ask all of the Pacquiao supporters that if Mayweather was accused of steroids and he refused to take a test would you vouch for his innocence as well? Would you be outraged? Would you call him a coward, ducker or cheater?...Would you still be opposed to an Olympic style drug test?
