    Why did the Mayweather camp wait till almost the end to require random blood test?

    It's pretty obvious that they were very keen on their "beliefs" about Pacquiao so why till negotiations where over? Why go through all the BS and then pull the plug like that at the end? I'm trying to find sense in that

    They didn't wait until the end. This was understood from the beginning. It was Pacquioa's team that pulled out of the agreement in the end. Initially it was Roach who said "we'll pass any drug test in the world!" and that was during the beginning of negotiations, not the end. Don't try to rewrite history for your benefit.

      Exactly and then everything went downhill from there.

          They announced this Decembr 8th...and Team Pac agreed.

          This was nothing new.

            pac is scared he agreed to it was in the rough draft of the contract but no he all of a sudden is the shizznit and doesnt wanna take it man pac lost already in my opinion if he takes on paulie then pac just screwed his legacy he robbed us boxing fans of a classic screw pac if he deciedes to move up to 154 then your gonna have even more ?'s so pac is just screwed all aroundd

                  According to Schaefer, it was part of the initial draft of the contract so they
                  (Team Pacquiao) should not have been surprised by the request for random blood tests.
