It's crazy how things are forgotten so easily.
It seems like only yesterday that Mayweather was accused of ducking for merely asking for testing.
I remember "Let the comission do their job" echoing these boards day in day out. Fast forward 3 years and how things change.
I remember, when the testing was originally asked for (up to the day of the fight) and no one even thought it would be an issue until it was strangely and rather abruptly rejected. Then tunes of course changed.
People forget that Pacquaio and his team flat out refused to take a drug test, going as far as walking away from the fight completely, without a 30 day cut off. The only reason it changed to 24 days was because evidence emerged that he took a blood test 24 days out in the Hatton fight.
Then, refused 14 days. That's the whole reason this thread was made. Because the 14 day compromise was refused by Pacquaio. Which caused the fight to fall through.
Then, the funniest part about it, is down the line, not only was the 14 days accepted by Pacquaio but he also said he would do it up to the day of the fight!! If only he'd accepted it the first time!
Crazy how things unfold in this game.
