Floyd Mayweather The Puppet Master.
Mayweather is a master at putting opponents in bad positions, both inside and outside the ring. Pacquiao is in one now, outfoxed by Mayweather in the fight negotiations. There’s no way Pacquiao can explain walking away from one of the biggest bouts in boxing history because, as his promoter suggests, he’s afraid of needles.
Manny Pacquiao has always been willing to spill blood to win a fight. He's not nearly as eager to give blood to get a fight?

"They want to put it in Manny's head that they can come in any time and take blood," Arum said. "Manny believes taking blood will weaken him. This is absolutely outrageous. Who does Floyd Mayweather think he is, the commissioner of boxing?"
Mayweather camp have demanded extreme testing standards that left the Pacquiao camp backpedaling and debating an issue they can’t win.

"Manny Pacquiao probably thinks it's going to be some nurse with a big needle sucking out a gallon of blood and leaving him lying on the floor for a week," Schaefer said.
What Mayweather is calling for may be unfair, but is Pacquiao going to give up tens of millions of dollars and a chance to cement his legacy as one of the all-time greatest fighters out of principle?
Is he going to bail knowing that he opens himself up to questions about PEDs because, despite being tough enough to let Miguel Cotto unload on him, he’s scared of a needle?
Floyd Mayweather has cornered him on this one, doing what he does best, making the fight get fought on his terms. The way to stop Mayweather, though, has always been to punch back – hard.
Instead, Manny Pacquiao is going to walk away?
Mayweather has now taken Pacquiao focus off the fight, but instead on needles, his legacy, his image, and wheater on not TEAM PACQuiao has something to hide.
It makes you asked yourself a question, Is Manny Pacquiao even really prepared mentally to fight a fighter like Mayweather???
Because as of right now, the answer has to be NO.
