Not necessarily. I don't know where your from and i believe on this topic region to region you'll get a different opinion. Here in the U.S. i can say that when it was 1st announced that Mayweather asked for Olympic style testing, most people here felt one of two things; this was either mayweather's way of trying to get out of the fight, or this is just mayweather starting up hype trying to get in Manny's head. Some people felt like once Manny took the test and PASSED then we'll see what Floyd comes up with next to get out of the fight. Problem is that when your position goes from, "taking blood test, but not random ones" to " we'll take random test, but only if there's a cut-off date" to "ok we'll take random test but within 30 days of the fight" to "we'll take random test up until 24 days before the fight" to "14 days is not fair" therefore fight off, even though you agreed to take a blood test after the fight, makes some people su****ious as to why.
On the other hand, when Floyd 1st stated that he wanted Olympic style testing and Team Manny would've told him to go **** himself and just walked away, nobody would've suspected Pacquiao of anything. It was his Team's excuse's on the issue and the fact that he's leaving 30 something mil on the table for a guaranteed 4mil that people think just doesn't make business/boxing sense.Comment

yeah, but if Pac fought Mosley, everyonr wold be complaining to boxingscene that Pac ducked Cotto. right now pac is just concentratin on PBF. that's it. clottey is just another sparring disguised as a legit fight. but if Pac still refuses to fight PBF later in the year, no more extra amount of training will ever help him get ready for a defensive fight w/ PBF. well, if Mosley wins over PBF, then they should face each other ASAP, better without the ****** olympic drug test. If Pac refuses either Mosley or PBF, he deserves to get the Duck of the year award!Team Pacquiao has been given plently of opportunities to fight Mosely and they chose not to fight him. Even at a catchweight of 142 they declined and instead picked Cotto.
Read the article it states the fact that he has been looking to fight both Mayweather & Pacquiao but they did not step to the plate.

No he didn't, he blew it by accusing Pac of being on steroids without any evidence. Which resulted in Pac making it an issue of self-respect. If Floyd had negotiated in good faith, Pac would almost certainly have agreed to the 14 day cut-off. But he didn't negotiate in good faith. He ran a smear campaign.
Pac has a long history of being willing to kill fights when he feels the contract terms are disrespectful. He was willing to kill both the De La Hoya fight and the Hatton fight when he felt the terms of the contract were disrespectful. De La Hoya and Hatton backed down and the fights went ahead. If Mayweather had apologised for the false accusations he had made, and made it clear that he did not suspect Pac of anything, and that the tests were purely about raising standards and not about smearing Pac, then Pac would have agreed to the 14 days.
Malignaggi made no contract stipulations at all.
Mosley didn't have any blood tests for the De La Hoya rematch. Pac was willing to have random blood tests up to 24 days before the fight and immediately after the fight, as well as random urine tests throughout, which is a more stringent testing regime than any professional boxer had ever agreed to before. Most drug experts believe that is sufficient to prevent any steroid abuse that would be of any use to a fighter. And if the negotiations had been conducted differently he would almost certainly have agreed to the 14-day cut-off as well. Floyd blew it by the way he conducted the negotiations. I wish Pac had swallowed his pride and made the fight regardless, but once Floyd's smear campaign started, I knew that it would kill the fight. That's just the way Pac is. Floyd should have known as well - he's not ******.Last edited by Dave Rado; 03-04-2010, 07:52 AM.Comment

If you've got some actual evidence, then lets see it. If you don't, then shut the f.uck up, you idiot. If you think you're guilty until proved innocent, go live in a dictatorship. In the ********ic world, you're innocent until proved guilty. And lol at you claiming that anyone who believes that you're innocent until proved guilty must be a *******!!! What a moron you are.Last edited by Dave Rado; 03-04-2010, 08:07 AM.Comment
