Serious question, not trolling. What if Pac agrees to the test, passes the test, but Floyd wins the fight? Would you feel like those test had something to do with it, wether it be physical or mental?

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON PACQUIAO-MAYWEATHER DRUG TEST ISSUE
PhilBoxing.com
23 Dec 2009
There appears to be a deliberate attempt by the camp of Floyd Mayweather Jr to mislead the public about pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao’s stand on the issue of Olympic-style drug testing.
A report datelined Los Angeles stated that the mega fight was in jeopardy after Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer who is negotiating fight details with Top Rank’s Bob Arum learned that Pacquiao was “refusing to comply” with Olympic-style drug testing as outlined and mandated by the United States Anti-Doping Agency and as requested by Mayweather’s management to ensure fair play and sportsmanship by both fighters.
The claim that Pacquiao refused to comply is completely false. He agreed to the blood tests before the kickoff press conference and after the fight. Where is the difference? If he is on any performance-enhancing drugs as repeatedly claimed by Floyd’s father, Floyd Mayweather Sr who failed to provide a shred of evidence to substantiate his charges and instead illogically (what’s new) demanded that Pacquiao prove he’s clean, surely the tests after the fight should satisfy any doubts.
If the USADA tests were taken at random why can’t they be taken before the press conference and after the fight? What difference does it make?
Pacquiao has, throughout his career, fought fair and square and never complained even when he lost as he did against Erik “El Terrible” Morales when a head-butt by Morales in round five opened up a nasty gash which bled profusely throughout the fight and which referee Joe Cortez erroneously claimed was caused by a punch!
Come to think of it, it was Floyd Mayweather Jr who failed to comply with the stipulated weight against the much smaller Juan Manuel Marquez, came in two pounds over the agreed upon limit and used his advantage to batter Marquez. Sure, Mayweather Jr paid $600,000 as a penalty but he used an unfair weight advantage in the ring to beat Marquez. So much for talk of fair play and sportsmanship!
That’s why Team Pacquiao is demanding that if Mayweather doesn’t make the 147 pound welterweight limit against Pacquiao he should pay $10 million per pound or a fraction thereof. In short, don’t let him cheat on the scales and get away by paying a fine. Make it hurt his pocket real bad.
Drug-testing is not mandated by the USADA in pro boxing. In Las Vegas that’s left to the Nevada State Athletic Commission under the highly respected lawyer Keith Kizer who has stated over and over again in response to the ranting of Mayweather Sr that Pacquiao has been tested before and after every fight and has come out spotlessly clean. The Mayweather camp wanted the fight in Las Vegas instead of Dallas, Texas because they were comfortable in Las Vegas and had faith in the NSAC. Why then don’t they trust the drug-testing by the Commission?
Schaefer’s statement that “Team Mayweather is certainly surprised that an elite athlete like Manny Pacquiao would refuse drug testing procedures which Floyd has already agreed to and have been agreed to by many other top athletes such as Lance Armstrong, and Olympians Michael Phelps, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant." Come on Richard, that’s not true and you know it. Manny didn’t refuse the drug-testing. He said he'll do it before the kickoff press conference and after the fight!!
By the way Richard, perhaps you should invite the USADA to conduct random drug tests on Sugar Shane Mosley before and after the Berto fight.
Mayweather reportedly feels that Pacquiao has to explain himself immediately or be faced with accusations from the media and the public regarding his own status as a clean and drug free athlete. Condescending to say the least. Pacquiao hasn’t asked Mayweather to explain his irrational behavior or his family history of getting into trouble with the law or even the recent incident when Mayweather’s car was seen at a venue where shots were allegedly fired by his bodyguards.
Mayweather went on "I understand Pacquiao not liking having his blood taken, because frankly I don't know anyone who really does," said Mayweather. "But in a fight of this magnitude, I think it is our responsibility to subject ourselves to sportsmanship at the highest level. I have already agreed to the testing and it is a shame that he is not willing to do the same. It leaves me with great doubt as to the level of fairness I would be facing in the ring that night. I hope that this is either some miscommunication or that Manny will change his mind and step up and allow these tests, which were good enough for all these other great athletes, to be performed by USADA."
Come on Floyd, which nation’s athletes have been found to use steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs? Look at baseball one of the biggest sports in the US. Look at the history of athletics where multi-titled sprinters were found to be on steroids. How many American athletes have been found to be on drugs? Of course, to the credit of the United States and the USADA these cheats have been found out. But this is not the style of Filipinos – despite all our weaknesses and frailties. We fight clean, fight hard and accept our defeats with grace and our victories – as Pacquiao has so often shown – with humility
Leonard Ellerbe, the adviser of Mayweather, has also joined in stating "We hope that Manny will do the right thing and agree to the testing as it is an egregious act to deny the testing and hence, deny the millions of fans the right to see this amazing fight. We just want to make sure there is a level playing field in a sport that is a man-to-man contest that relies on strength and ability. I still hope this decision is coming from someone in Pacquiao's camp and not Manny himself as it would be a shame that an athlete of his stature and who represents his whole country would not be able to show the public or his fellow athletes that he agrees to the highest standards in sports competition."
Mr. Ellerbe, you talk of a level playing field yet Floyd came into the fight against Marquez two pounds over the stipulated weight limit. Was that a level playing field or are you suggesting that by paying Marquez $600,000 it leveled the playing field and kept faith with the highest standards of sports competition?
We have known Manny from the time he began his career as a 16 year old kid on a weekly TV boxing show we produced and anchored much of the time and know he has a phobia about needles which means injections of any kind or extraction of blood. To ask him to be available any time the USADA knocks on his door and wants to stuff a needle in him is a pitiful attempt to load the dice against Pacquiao. Beyond that what is the difference between the testing methods of the Nevada State Athletic Commission and the United States Anti-Doping Agency. I guess it’s the letters US in front that puts the agency on a higher pedestal than the NSAC and gives it some assumed clout or power. Besides, do these people suggest that you can’t find a trace of performance-enhancing drugs a few minutes after a fight but can find it at random before? Doesn’t make sense to us.
Bottom line is what trainer Freddie Roach has always maintained and that is that Mayweather Jr is scared to fight Pacquiao who is at his peak and almost invincible. A dead giveaway was his insistence on staging the fight on March 13 when Manny hade somewhat of a hard fight against Miguel Cotto last November 14 besides having the May congressional elections on his mind. He thought Pacquiao wouldn’t agree and as the astute Bob Arum pointed out if Manny said no and wanted a fight later in the year Mayweather would have capitalized on it and said Manny was scared and didn’t want to fight.
Methinks it’s the other way around as conditioning expert Alex Ariza points out … Floyd is scared of getting the beating of his life.
As Bob Arum told us minutes ago, "Mayweather can go to hell."

Why Are Golden Boy & Floyd Trying To Kill The Fight?
Published by Scoop Malinowski on December 22nd, 2009
Manny Pacquiao has already agreed to drug tests before and after the March 13th fight, isn’t that enough for Golden Boy and Floyd?
It is public knowledge that Roy Jones, James Toney and others have tested positive for substances after fights through the established testing system . If Manny Pacquiao is on a performance enhancer isn’t the current testing system reliable enough to detect and capture him – if he is cheating?
Why is Golden Boy and Floyd doubting the current testing system which has proven to work – are they indirectly accusing Pacquiao and the Nevada State Athletic Commission to be capable of CORRUPTION?
Was Richard Schaefer or Golden Boy involved in the selection of the judges of the Guzman-Funeka fight in Quebec City?
Are the actions of Golden Boy, Richard Schaefer and Floyd consistent with an entity that wants to stage “Boxing’s Super Bowl”? Or would they prefer to kill the fight and stage a 10-round sparring session between Floyd Mayweather and Matthew Hatton?
Why won’t Golden Boy and Richard Schaefer and Floyd Mayweather demand and accept a urine test 48, 36 or 24 hours before the fight? Why must it be a blood test – is this their last and final way to kill the fight, except for Floyd coming up with another rib injury?
Are Golden Boy and Floyd hoping that by drawing blood from Manny Pacquiao within 24 or 48 hours of the fight, that this never before used tactic (to the best of my knowledge) in boxing history could have a minute but mental and physical effect on the strength and punch force of Manny Pacquiao in the fight? Could the loss of blood be their way to try and negate the vaunted power of the Filippino, which they fear?
Why did Bernard Hopkins and George Peterson previously say on the record that they believe the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight will NOT happen on March 13? Are they privy to secretly planned insider information?
Does Golden Boy and Richard Schaefer know that Floyd Mayweather is a “psychological coward” who will never fight any man who has a chance to brutally beat him to a bloody pulp, and therefore must DO ANYTHING to protect their scared fighter from a signing a contract that could lead to a devastatingly brutal knockout loss, so therefore they can continue to try and milk him with safer handpicks like Matt Hatton in order to fulfill a five-fight contract?
Where is Matthew Hatton lately and why has he not spoken to anyone from the boxing media?
Is Golden Boy standing on the edge of the financial cliff and knows it must protect it’s only significant asset of Mayweather from taking part in a fight that would destroy his career, his confidence and his future drawing power?
Do Golden Boy and Richard Schaefer look at Manny Pacquiao in total awe and dream about promoting such a wonder of the world type superstar? Do Golden Boy and Richard Schaefer ever compare Floyd to Pacquiao in terms of charisma, personality and drawing power and enviously conclude Top Rank is holding a bag of GOLD while they are holding a bag of **** in comparison?
Did Golden Boy or Richard Schaefer have anything whatsoever to do with the selection of the judges of the Guzman-Funeka fight?
Since the devastating KO of Miguel Cotto, has Floyd Mayweather carried himself like an ultimate warrior with supreme confidence, eagerly waiting to take part in the biggest event in boxing history? Or is Floyd acting like a frightened coward, desperately trying to set up block after block to prevent the fight from ever happening?
Why did George Peterson, who works with Floyd advisor Al Haymon, as they together guide the career of Paul Williams, insist with vehemence and certainty on December 2nd in New York City
that the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight “isn’t gonna happen” because some fights are “not meant to be made?”
Does Golden Boy and Floyd Mayweather fully realize that Manny Pacquiao can’t be beaten by a manufactured illusion with fast fading skills and confidence and therefore must resort to the ridiculous ploy of drawing blood from the man’s body within 24 or 48 hours of the biggest event in the history of the sport?
Does Golden Boy fear seeing it’s THIRD high value asset in a row lose by brutal knockout to Manny Pacquiao and therefore to ensure the survival of the company must protect it’s already psychologically beaten fraud (no win situation) from the certain defeat?
Does Golden Boy see Pacquiao vs. Floyd as a NO WIN SITUATION?
Why does Golden Boy and Floyd Mayweather feel the desperate need to randomly test a one-dimensional fighter, who as Floyd stated, “Knows he can’t beat me” though the said figther is willing to be tested before and after the fight?
By demanding and employing Olympic style testing and not the customary Las Vegas procedure, are Golden Boy and Floyd Mayweather implying that the Nevada State Athletic Commission will use CORRUPTION and FOUL PLAY to benefit Manny Pacquiao on March 13?
And one more time: Did Richard Schaefer or Golden Boy HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SELECTION OF THE THREE JUDGES OF THE GUZMAN-FUNEKA FIGHT?
After Pacquiao knocks out Mayweather, just what assets are Golden Boy left with? And how much revenue can they generate with Hopkins and Mosley who, despite being top rated pound for pound fighters, have each been mysteriously inactive for over a year each?

Cheap, cheap, cheap... Pacquiao should just dump Mayweather
December 23, 1:37 AM
Indianapolis Fight Sports ExaminerDennis "dSource" Guillermo
I'm starting to get more and more convinced with each passing day and with every problem Team Mayweather brings up to make the superfight against Manny Pacquiao harder to make, that Mayweather truly does not want to fight Pacquiao.
It's not as if I didn't say so back then that I did not believe Floyd really intends to fight Pacquiao in March amidst inside info I obtained then that Floyd wanted to do a fight in England and started training with his uncle Roger, but these turn of events are getting ridiculous.
Just do the dang fight.
The recent press release by Team Mayweather and Golden Boy Promotions is cheap. I'm sure most of you have read it, and for those who haven't, Mayweather's camp have again brought up the baseless steroids issue and further put Pacquiao's reputation into question without even having any form of evidence, proof and logical explanation. In a recent interview with 8countnews, Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach described it as, "a way out of the fight".
Roach continued, "He is scared, and he's just afraid that he's going to get his ass kicked. We don't work for Floyd Mayweather. We fight for the state commission, since when does the fighter make up the rules?" and further added,
"So, what if I think Mayweather is taking steroids too?, so does that mean I go out and change the rules in boxing? This guy isn't going to walk all over us, he's not railroading us. This is bull$h!t, we will go by the rules of the commission, and that's it. We'll go on to other things, and he can make no money fighting some bum. My fighter is clean, I have trouble giving Manny protein shakes and vitamins, let alone steroids. We will pass the drug test, because my fighter is clean."
Pacquiao does not need to deal with the cheap tricks Mayweather is subjecting him to play. Yes, it's mind games, but at this stage of their careers, Mayweather should be begging Pacquiao for a fight. Pacquiao is the number one guy right now and has proven himself by facing the best opponents possible. Floyd? It's more like the opposite. Instead of going up against the biggest challenge, he opted to play it safe and that's why boxing fans have turned their backs on him. This is actually his shot at redemption. Talent is one thing, but being a true champion and a real winner is another. Michael Jordan didn't earn his reputation by dropping 60 points against expansion teams. He went through the 80's "Bad Boys' in the Pistons, went toe-to-toe with Larry Bird, beat Magic Johnson in the Finals and the list goes one. The same way Pacquiao earned his way to the top.
Pacquiao doesn't need to fight Floyd, and with all these prima donna antics and low blows he is getting from the Mayweather camp, I would simply advise him to dump them. His legacy is secure and who else will Mayweather fight anyway? We already know he won't fight Mosley or Paul Williams or anyone for that matter who poses a legitimate threat to his undefeated record. Let Mayweather continue to make a joke of himself instead of letting your name be a part of it.

Roach BLASTS Mayweathers - "Mayweather is a coward!"
December 22nd, 2009
Brad Cooney
8CountNews contacted Freddie Roach to get his thoughts on the recent reports of Manny Pacquiao's refusal to give blood the day before the scheduled fight with Floyd Mayweather. Roach says that he is the one advising Manny not to give the blood the day before the fight. Roach blasts the Mayweather's calling them cowards, and scared. Check out what else Freddie Roach had to say in this exclusive 8CN interview.
8CN - Freddie, todays headlines all say that Manny Pacquiao is refusing to give blood the day before the fight. What is your response?
FR - Well the sanctioning bodies and the state commissions run the boxing world, not Floyd Mayweather. Who is this guy to tell us that we have to have blood tests, or urine tests, or any tests? He's just looking for a way out of the fight. He is scared, and he's just afraid that he's going to get his ass kicked. We don't work for Floyd Mayweather. We fight for the state commission, since when does the fighter make up the rules?
8CN - To play devils advocate, Floyd's people firmly believe that Manny is taking steroids. Why not just take the test and prove them wrong?
FR - So, what if I think Mayweather is taking steroids too?, so does that mean I go out and change the rules in boxing? This guy isn't going to walk all over us, he's not railroading us. This is bull****, we will go by the rules of the commission, and that's it. We'll go on to other things, and he can make no money fighting some bum. My fighter is clean, I have trouble giving Manny protein shakes and vitamins, let alone steroids. We will pass the drug test, because my fighter is clean.
8CN - Is it Manny refusing to take the blood test or is it someone deciding for him?
FR - It's me, I am not going to let my fighter give blood a day before the fight.
8CN - What can giving blood a day before a fight do to a fighter?
FR - It's just like having sex before a fight. You're not supposed to have sex before a fight, it makes you weak. If you mentally think that, it will. When Manny gives blood it takes him 3 or 4 days to recover from it. I am not going to have my fighter going into a fight feeling weak and not sure of himself.
8CN - Is it true that Manny never wanted to give blood the day before any of his fights?
FR - We will never do it a day before a fight. We never flunked a urine test, and there is no reason to think my fighter is dirty. We have passed every test ever given to us. We go by the commission rules, not no rule Mayweather puts out there.
8CN - So it's fair to say that the ball is completely in Mayweathers court now, you guys are not budging?
FR - Yes it's fair to say that. If Floyd wants to fight us, then step up and fight us. If you want Manny to take a blood test after the fight, no problem, but not a day before.
8CN - Wouldn't a blood test the day after the fight be the same as a test a day before? I mean if Manny was taking steroids, wouldn't the test the day after the fight show the same thing as it would the day before?
FR - Yes agreed. A urine test will show the same thing too,but if they want a blood test the day after the fight, I have no problem with that. I will not have my guy giving blood a day before the fight, that will make him weak. Why is Floyd Mayweather dictating what we do in life? It's crazy... he's a coward and he's afraid to fight us and that is all there is to it.
8CN - If this fight gets scratched, what's next?
FR - We go up and get Yuri Foreman's title. We will go up one more weight division, just for you Floyd!

Did Team Mayweather lay groundwork for PED mental games months ago?
December 22, 11:13 PMLA Boxing ExaminerRicardo Lois
Walking through the Lakewood Mall this afternoon amidst last minute Christmas shoppers, I ran across a gentlemen wearing a shirt with the now familiar MP logo. Clearly a Manny Pacquiao fan, I quickly asked the man, "Do you think your fighter can beat Floyd Mayweather?" His answer was enthusiastic and confident, "I am sure he will beat his ass."
Imagine that, two grown men, in a public place, discussing boxing. Had I been swept into a time wrap back into the 1950s? No, we were just two guys talking about the biggest fight in the last ten years.
A fight that had been created due to the demand of fans, across the globe. A fight that was seemingly locked and loaded for a March 13, 2010 delivery at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. A fight that had been so quickly and easily negotiated, that fans thought they had received a true Christmas gift from a sport that regularly fills stockings full of coal.
Of course as this complete stranger and I discussed Pacquiao's challenge against Floyd Mayweather, we were unaware that the fight was unraveling at the seams. Mayweather's demand that Pacquiao succumb to a more strenuous drug test used by United States Anti-Doping Agency caused the Filipino star to balk at the timing of these tests, thus putting the bout's probability into questions.
So why this demand of a drug test that goes above and beyond the urine analysis administered by the State of Nevada before and after boxing contests to test fighters for performance enhancing drugs? Because the idea that Manny Pacquiao is under the influence of performance enhancing drugs has risen to the consciousness of boxing fans.
As Pacquiao moved from featherweight into lightweight and then welterweight, he has left a path of destruction that has never been seen in boxing by a man jumping from division to division. In defeating David Diaz, Ricky Hatton, and Miguel Cotto, he knocked out all three men in convincing fashion. While some men drown in moving up to heavier divisions, Pacquiao has thrived.
And where do the origins of these speculations surrounding Pacquiao arise? Team Mayweather.
Remember back to April of this year, weeks before Pacquiao ruined Hatton? Does anyone remember Hatton's one and done trainer Floyd Mayweather Senior running his mouth about Manny Pacquiao and the use of performance enhancing drugs?
There might have been murmurs about Pacquiao's physique and weight gain before then, but Mayweather Senior is the man who put the idea in the headlines of boxing columns worldwide. And Floyd Senior has continued to stand by his opinion time and time again, through out the year, and even reiterating it on The Boxing Truth Radio a few weeks back.
So while the negotiations for Pacquiao - Mayweather hit a snag - I openly wonder if this was a mind game set into motion earlier this year by Team Mayweather in case they would ever have to face new pound for pound King Pacquiao?
Devious, yes. Speculation, yes. But we are talking boxing and you can never keep any conspiracy theory out of the realm of possibility.
Mayweather's comments about Pacquiao and the use of performance enhancing drugs had spread through the boxing world, with other name figures chiming in as well. Now less than three months away from the date of a proposed fight, Team Mayweather has Team Pacquiao in very awkward position.
If Manny refuses to take the test and declines to fight, he will have the shadow of possibly using drugs lurking over his past and future triumphs. If Pacquiao agrees to the test, his routine will be thrown off, and the distraction of monitoring every single supplement and vitamin he takes will be put into the training camp's mix.
Either way you look at, Mayweather has the upper-hand in this mental chess bout.
Was Team Mayweather savvy enough to lay the ground work for all of this over eight months ago via the mouth of one of boxing's most outlandish figures? Impossible to prove, but an interesting angle to a fight the fans want to see and may eventually lose via the mouth of Floyd Mayweather Senior.

Mayweather Bluff: Floyd never wanted to fight Pacquiao in March
December 23, 1:07 AMIndianapolis Fight Sports ExaminerDennis "dSource" Guillermo
I said it then and I'm going to say it again. All these nonsense is nothing but your typical Floyd Mayweather Jr. smoke.
What did I tell you? Mayweather never intended to fight Pacquiao on March 13. In case you haven't noticed, Mayweather does most of his work with his mouth and working the media rather than really just lacing his gloves up against the best competition available.
Forget that he avoided Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto and Paul Williams right?! Mayweather never runs out of excuses, mind games, propaganda and trash talk to cover up the truth.
And the truth is? FLOYD NEVER WANTED TO FIGHT MANNY IN MARCH. Just sign the contract already Floyd!
All these media posturing, press releases and trash talk is just cheapening, not only himself, but the sport of boxing as well. First it was the venue, then it was the weight, and now what? Steroids? Again? Has the sport really sunk so low to allow the biggest fight of the decade to be controlled by Floyd Mayweather Sr.? Luckily it isn't and Bob Arum is right to suggest to simply dump these clowns.
Arum responded to Team Mayweather's press release saying, "The press release is absurd. Mayweather proves that he's a coward and he's looking for a way out of the fight. The Nevada commission has been doing drug testing for the last 40 years. To appease Mayweather, we agreed they could do urine analysis anytime they wanted. But Manny doesn't want them to draw his blood when he's in training because it weakens him," Arum said in an article published by USAToday.
I respect Floyd's skill as a boxer, but as a warrior and a fighter, the man is a ducker. He does his fighting in the media and with his mouth and just as Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach said in an interview with Brad Cooney and 8countnews, "He's just looking for a way out of the fight. He is scared, and he's just afraid that he's going to get his ass kicked. We don't work for Floyd Mayweather. We fight for the state commission, since when does the fighter make up the rules?"
ADHD ALERT: HBO'S HAROLD LEDERMAN BELIEVES PACQUIAO IS CLEAN (CLICK TO READ)
Let him run Manny. Mayweather isn't worth it. You don't need him. Your legacy is set, and his, unfortunately for him, stands as one of the most talented fighters ever who chose not to fight the best fighters of his era.
Personally, I am sick of Mayweather's cheap tactics just like how he had that bogus rib injury to push his fight back, then coming in over the weight limit for his fight against Marquez giving him added advantage over a man who is already smaller and handicapped as it is.
This whole Olympics steroid testing is a joke. Actually, Pacquiao already agreed to Mayweather's unnecessary demands and was willing to get his blood drawn a month before the fight and after the fight. If he indeed has any banned substance in him, they can be traced and detected by a test after the fight. Actually, The Nevada State Athletic Commission has a very efficient drug testing as it is. All Mayweather is doing is simply finding ways to further get an edge and discredit Pacquiao's reputation. All it really tells me is that Mayweather is afraid to fight Pacquiao and will do everything he can to destroy him outside the ring and avoid being destroyed by him in it.
It's really cheap, sad and pathetic. Fight fans aren't ******. This press release from GBP didn't come unexpected on my end however. Like I reported back then, Mayweather was simply bluffing. I got from people around Mayweather that he was training and preparing to fight in England possibly against Matthew Hatton then a day after they release a statement on ESPN saying he agreed to fight Pacquiao? You got to understand, press releases from Team Mayweather should not be taken as news. They are statements from Mayweather's camp.

Screw the mind games, just sign the contract Floyd. Everyone in boxing abides by the same rules and regulations, and by saying the same tests NSAC does for every boxer and fighter that comes in to fight in Nevada isn't good enough for you, then I guess you should have just stayed retired. What is Mayweather really trying to say? That boxing is a dirty sport? I'm afraid his ego and perhaps the paranoia he has inherited from his dad has gotten the best of him.
Fighters fight. And the funny thing is, Mayweather is worried about all these things against a smaller guy. He throws the word fairness, yet he himself could not honor his catchweight contract against Marquez in September. I told you I didn't want to be Johnny Raincloud when the world was thinking the superfight was finally happening, and I've said it before and I'll say it again, barring any last minute "courage" from Floyd, he does not intend to fight Pacquiao on March 13. Expect talks of Mayweather fighting in Europe to resurface. So if I were you, I'll just leave Floyd alone if he wants to fight smaller and over-matched opponents. Pacquiao is simply too big, too good and too dangerous for Floyd right now.
