    It is kinda suspect that a guy punch output doubles the higher in weight he goes. I was really impressed with Pac's performance I have not seen a fighter like him in years.

    He looked so good I think he may be on something. No way PBF will fight him without a blood test.

      But PACQUIAO is NOT the commission either. So how come he's allowed to change their rules and add on the penalties he feels like? How is that any different from Floyd adding on drug testing?

        "Demand", "request"... are we really gonna let this discussion fall into a semantics debate?

          Floyd should fight Pac without the bs additional drug testing if he is confident that he can beat Pac easily like he said. Man up Floyd, dont be a chicken and fight Pac fair and square!

            Here is something I will throw in there. I make a fairly decent living, but if my company started doing random drug tests, even piss tests, I would quit my job.

            I do not do drugs and have not done weed in almost 15 years, but it is a principle thing.

            Now lets say I was offered a higher paying job that required a general test. I would do it. If they then told me I would have to give invasive tests randomly, again I would refuse.

            To me much of this **** comes down to being dictated to. I am the type of person who likes to be in control of my life. I dictate my life and the direction I go and I refuse to let others dictate to me.

            So manny does the required thing. He does it as it is not invasive for him. Random tests just may be too invasive for his liking.

              No, please. Let them. Let's see where it goes. It really is amazing how people willfully blind themselves.

                Once it's refused it becomes a demand.

                Mayweather agreed to all of Pacquiao's requests.

                Pacquiao refused Mayweather's demand.

                  Men Why *******s are ******ed? I mean is more than obvious that team Pac is bitching out of the fight. What other proff they need?. I mean Pac himself could say he dont want none of Floyd and they will still blame it on Floyd.


                  I mean if it was the opposite, we would not heard the end of it from this nut jobs.


                  Hey this is comming from a Pacquiao fan and a notorious Floyd Hater.

                    Then why did he agree?
